Sbmm influenced your way to play/see the game?

Yes, I take fewer regression perks.

Taking those lead to me having a simple issue: Sometimes the perk would carry me and not my skill with the Killer. Survivors on "low MMR" are not able to work their way around "Hex: Ruin" as an example. This lead to me facing tougher opponents until I hit a brick wall where my skill as a Killer was just not enough and perks where no longer able to carry me.

Once I noticed this I discarded most regression perks. I then played normally and lost quit a few matches until everything was adjusted. Now I think I slowly work my way up while polishing my Skill with certain Killers and I am having a blast.

As a survivor I notice an increase in Ruin/Undying/Pop/Tinkerer on Killers. Also NoeD appeared more often. However I never cared about going "full mambo" as a survivor anyway (Dead Hard/Decisive Strik/Iron Will/Cycle of Healing or Borrow Time). And as such this only has increase the knowledge about countering those perks (read: Gwinty now knows more totem spawns).

I’m playing the game exactly the same as I always have. I think I even get better matchups now.

Same here, it isn't a game to take seriously anymore as killer. The MMR pits you against much higher level survivor teams even as an average skilled killer. The maps have so many safe loops you need to play anti-loop killers if you want to actually get kills. It's not a good sign for a game when so much of the roster isn't viable.

Personally I just play killer casually and try to get bps. i won't go for kills unless there is a challenge or if it's by accident. so it isn't really a kill it's more like manslaughter.

I camp and tunnel a lot more so there's that

I've been playing a LOT less killer and more survivor but that's it.

Nope. Hasn't changed a thing. The gameplay is still the same as it was before sbmm was introduced. Haven't seen a change in anyone's playstyles on either side.

I play like always as i can´t change my style.

My last played games were ok. I seem to get better survs when i play killer and get strong killers when i play surv. So it does feel a little off.

Personally, no. I now know it is THERE but it doesn't effect how I play, the MMR barely works from the looks of it anyways. If I want to win or get 4k, I try to play hard and win. If I want to play casually and just go for points and hooks, I do. Honestly, if they never told us that it was added, I wouldn't have noticed a difference.

Farming simulator.

Nope, nothings changed in how I play. I'm having burnout from the game in general so I'm not really playing as much as I used to, but it has nothing to do with MMR and more to due with the game being stale and the devs not trying to shake it up with new chapters.

killer main here i use to use barbecue and chill now i swapped it for NOE because of back to back swifts

I “entered the fog” after kbmm (kill-based matchmaking) was introduced, so I have nothing the compare it to. But from what I’ve played (about 200 hrs as killer) I think there’s now a disconnect between grade (what’s visible) and MMR (what’s invisible). The game gives you no way to know if you’re progressing in skill or just facing more potatoes. You don’t even know which killer you’re best with. When you get a 0k/4k, you don’t know whether you played that trial particularly poorly/well or whether matchmaking was widening a survivor’s MMR window due to queue times. I like the game, but would love to see MMR be more transparent.

My biggest issue with SBMM that I am a self-proclaimed good player on both sides. I am very good at buying time for teammates as survivor, and I am quite efficient at killing people. Both in a manner that I would consider "fair". I play "fair" untill I feel my teammates don't. As an example: I had a game as T1 myers on The Game for example, as soon as the team found out they camped every pallet and tried getting flashlight blinds while 3 of them were on gens and pre-dropping everything. I ended up catching one in the basement(later a second one) and because I know Myers mechanics well, I kept the pressure above the staircase where there were no pallets left. They tried to bodyblock me(can't block Myers) to protect their injured survivors. So I blocked back. They ended up calling me toxic because I camped and bodyblocked basement after all gens were done within 4 minutes, all 4 had Adrenaline and DS and called me unfair. Well, ofcourse I'm gonna play "unfair" if you are playing "unfair".

Anyway, back to the prior thing. Because I am quite efficient at killing, that means that even if I play completely "fair" and only play "unfair" in response to "unfair" gameplay, I can still climb quite high. Even though my playstyle is not as competitive as high MMR players. Where as a survivor, even if I carry 10 games in a row, I could still be dropping MMR every single game because my teammates leave me to die.

I am still heavily of the opinion, that MMR is a shitstorm as long as survivor MMR is escape based. You don't really need to do anything major to escape. You just need 1-2 teammates that are good at being chased and then decide to sacrifice those teammates for your own good. I am facing killers that are worse and worse at chase, purely because being chased so long often leads to a kill.

I have no clue why survivor MMR has to be escape based. It simply doesn't make sense. Survivor skill mainly lays in chasing, where killer skill mainly lays in getting hooks and kills(yes, both matter. Kills being primary, hooks secondary. Being able to get 12 hooks means you basically steamrolled your opponents the entire game, where 4 hooks still is difficult, but you'd still win).

Effectively, being able to loop the killer for 5 gens and then dying on hook because teammates leave you to die without even attempting a rescue, should result in those teammates losing MMR and gaining the killed survivor MMR. It would be an incentive for players to play more altruistic if they want to gain MMR.

And yeah, there would be cases where both the entire survivor team and the killer gain MMR. But I'd argue that such a scenario is far more rare than 1 teammate being left on hook to die after carrying a team.

As killer no.

As survivor yes. Thanks to SBMM matchmaking more often than not my swf teammate and I get players that hide the whole match so it feels like 2v1 while we carry the team trying to escape. Since only escapes matter now I just leave the first chance I get, I no longer stick around to try and help teammates once the last gen is finished. It's definitely made me less altruistic at end game and focus more on getting gens done as quickly as possible during the match. It's just not fun anymore with the 2v1 feel and having to carry team for any chance of escape so I play way less than I did before.

I switched to survivor. When im getting tired of ruin undying tunneling Blights i play around 3 killer games max or take a break.
