SBMM needs to be reverted ASAP, playing as killer became frustrating

This only benefited the survivors, after all 4 efficient survivors against 1 efficient killer is certain a defeat for the killer

I'm exhausted from giving my soul in the match in order to be able to kill only 1 or 0 survivors. The game became extremely frustrating to play as Killer.

Why must the match needs to be so easy for the survivor and so difficult and intense for the killer? Behavior is only making it difficult for those who like to play kiler. It's not fair, it's not fun, this game is frustrating.

I love to play killer but lately it's impossible. It's so pathetic to play killer that I became survivor rank 1 and I don't really like playing survivor that much.

99% of my survivor's match is extremely easy, it's easy to do gens, easy to heal myself because of boons, easy to loop because of every loop has a good pallet and the loops are close to each other.

Playing as killer became a punishment in this game.

    Imagine any of the killer cast giving up like this. The entity would banish them. Be strong. Fight until the end no matter the pain. But seriously you are killing plenty, just not every match. If you are losing as much as you say eventually the game will place you in the correct bracket assuming people of your skill level are currently playing.

    I’m getting better matches overall with the MMR than the old system.

    I only just started playing the game this past July and even I can tell the MMR system is busted.

    If you have a "ranking" system in place with the emblems then that is how you should be setting matches. I should be in a game with like colored ranks because that matches skill level. I am not great but when I have a good game where I am doing all the objectives while the other players are not but they get to escape and level up and I don't because of something they did caused me to get first hook and die is not fair for me or the killer. I want to start playing killer too but I seem to keep getting survivors that are not the same skill level as me, which is low, and not have fun there.

    Putting survivors and Killers that are skilled and good at the game together and us who are still learning together would be the better option.

    If trying to shoe horn in a sbmm system to satisfy only a small group of players that WANT to try and play the game competitively, but anger the larger community, well that doesn't seem like it makes sense and could loose you people that will play the game.

    Well yes, but actually no.

    Yes, the game is incredible frustrating as killer.

    Yes, the game is terribly unbalanced.

    But, removing the SBMMR would only mask all the faults the game has. If you want a balanced game, then the SBMMR must stay. Why? Because the devs only look at their statistics. Unless the stats clearly show what most people could identify by playing only killer during a week, things won´t change.

    Oh and always remember that:

    MMR doesn't cause you to lose. Bad balance does.

    Matchmaking won't feel good until Killers are able to get one hundred 4 kill streaks in a row, like previously. Now it's unfair for Killers because survivors can actually survive about half the time they play. It's a nightmare. Nightmare I say!

    i'm aware of that, and this also results for insanely long matchmaking for survivors, because there is pretty low number of killers at high lvl play and the system takes too much time to adjust the range of mmr that is accepted
