General tip for killer players not enjoying mmr

This is so true. It is frustrating seeing so many people complaining about the MMR when the MMR is doing its job. Although many disagree with how it calculates a win, the result is that if you do well over the course of several matches, you face better players. That is exactly what it needs to be. The imbalance however, is really clear now that MMR has settled to match people appropriately.

the argument of "just dont expect to get kills" doesnt make sense since we (ppl who dont enjoy high mmr) never are saying we want more kills. You cannot have fun with other perks if your games dont last even long enough to get any value out of these perks.

But still, isn't this how the system is kinda supposed to work? You give it your best, you sweat, you get thrown in with the other sweaty players. Or you do some suboptimal builds, play chill, play with your food so to speak and give the occasional hatch or two-escape, and you can play the kinda games that you enjoy, without actually smurfing, because MMR is doing its job, I guess? When killer players complain about how miserable sweaty game after sweaty game that play as if its the worldcup finals are, they get shot down with "hur dur you reap what you sow. Thats your reward for being such a tryhard"; so this player is not a try-hard and can enjoy his chill games. Awesome, right?

One thing that you must not forget, though, is that killers MMR is much more volatile, as each match essentially factors into their MMR 4 times. In past dev streams the developers explained that the killer vs each player is counted seperately, so a killer has four times the chance to rank up or down per match, depending how the trial went. So if you throw 5 quick games in 20min with minimal effort while watching TV, thats over an hour of survivor playtime equivalent.

That's only an assumption neither of us can prove, and anyway that's besides the point.

Some people are obsessed with this whole idea that perks = success, and completely forget about skill, experience and creativity. That's the main point which I feel people need to understand: perks are nothing without skill.

Anyway, your entire post was about playing at a level you can enjoy, so I fail to see what the point of your response was. If they are a lower team or high-skilled, how can you be so certain? It can only be done based upon a subjective view and guesswork.

Ohh, 1 of these does not exclude the other.

In other words, you're playing the game as intended, which means you are enjoying it at a healthier level, and also as you get better your MMR improves naturally, so you will face increasingly skilled survivors as you get better. Which is what I do, and why ultimately I can face good survivors and even swf with random builds, because I've allowed myself to naturally grow.

So we're singing from the same hymn sheet, almost.

So what you are saying is that competent killer players that enjoy playing off meta killers should intentionally lose until they get to a point where they can have fun by facing opponents of lower skill? Hmm. That sure sounds like a big issue to me that should be dealt with. Shouldn't DBD be a fun experience on all playable killers at all skill levels? Sorry If that is a crazy idea. I have them sometimes.

I mean people that sweat face people that sweat. It just happens to be that almost every playable killer can't compete against sweaty survivors. It has zero to do with people not being at the correct MMR and so on. It all has to due with the game balance. People shouldn't have to tank their MMR so they can have a good time. The game needs better balance outside of average skill level.
