Is SBMM even a thing on console? Certainly doesn't feel like it

At least not to me, it doesn't.

    If you're on crossplay, it's definitely there. However, if you're playing crossplay off, I'd assume it's there but can't work properly because the pool of players is tiny.

    Yeah, I play on switch (usually) where when you have crossplay off, sbmm for what it is absolutely can't work. I basically talk to what feels all the switch players I've gone against and pre-mmr I went against them when crossplay was off and post-mmr I'm still going against them. It's really hard to say "Well we could just have the same mmr" but wait times are like an hour it feels like and we'll ready up at similarish times. So, obviously it just got to a point where it no longer prioritized mmr, especially when it will be like 3 of us and the last person started like the day before.

    It sucks though, when turning off crossplay and waiting 30+ minutes for a match. 😞

    Oh yes, it exists a lot actually.

    If I win one or two the game decides that I'm a proplayer or something and puts me against sweaty Blights and nurses, and If I lose some the game tries to find me a baby killer, even though is rare, but at the same time it'll try to put me along with other newbie players and the recipe for disaster is done.

    Sadly it does indeed exist, and I still put way more hours into it than I should.

    Now if you had said console DBD doesn't get the love and support it truly needs you might have something there...

    No it's there SBMM is just such a bad system for measuring skill it might as well not be.

    Right now I'm at my 3 losing streak of another normal day at dbd while the quality of killers doesn't seen to lower a bit.... It's kinda the reverse actually, the game tries too hard to find New players to play along with me while it finds decent killers, and when I say decent it's Just because it's easy to play killer in lower ranks which make my time trying to get out of low mmr hell awful.

    Sbmm doesnt exist anywhere. Its just escapes and kills. This matchmaking works and doesnt work at the same time

    Your initial premise is wrong. SBMM doesn't exist in dbd. MMR exists but it isn't skill based match making.
