Did MMR kill the fun?

This poll is missing a third option- that the MMR made no difference. That's the one I'd be voting for, otherwise I wouldn't mention it.

Yes and no.
The games were different before, there was some diversity between them. Some were fun and some were tedious.
Today it's more fun with friends but beside that it didn't kill the fun entirely.

MMR didn't ruin the fun because it exists, it ruined the fun because of the massive reaction to it. Sooo many people complaining about it, esp on the killer side(which I main). It scared so so so many survs/killers to run full meta and so many games became many times more sweaty because everyone is scared everyone else will run meta. It's like an arms race because everyone is convinced MMR will come into their house and burn down their kitchens.

MMR ruined the fun because it was constructed extremely poorly.
How MMR is supposed to work:
- I have played Doctor and am reasonably competent. I'm not especially good, but I know the basics. I get matched up against mid-level survivors.
- I have played Blight once and don't understand how to use his power at all. I get matched up against newbie players so I can practice using his power.
How MMR actually works:
- It doesn't matter what killer I play or how much experience I have with them, this group of 7000 hours survivors have been waiting for 5 minutes, so I get matched against them.
- Did I lose up down and all around? Well good news! My MMR went down, but not by enough to make a difference, because here are two more games against similar groups with identical perks and items.
- Did I lose those too? Well apparently I get set to a 0 MMR because now I'm playing against survivors who are touching the game for the very first time in their lives.
- Did I win? Awesome! I hope you're ready for maximum level MMR again, because here are six more groups who have been waiting for 5+ minutes!
MMR would've been so great if it had actually been built to respect skill levels, not as an elaborate fiction to justify throwing ill-prepared killer players into the meat grinder of top-tier survivors

Some would argue it hasn't killed the fun of the game, it's killed the motivation to improve at the game because you'll eventually hit the 'mmr brick wall'
I'm honestly not sure how I feel about MMR at this stage, conflicted might be the word for it

I feel like SBMM didn't kill anything as not much even changed. People's attitude, from BHVR and from community, is what's actively killing fun.

MMR just made the game unfun and boring.

It's just as fun

MMR made the survivors go harder on gens when i play killer. And it made killers tunnel/ camp harder when i play survivor. Unfortunately, i didn't see an increase in my teammates level... except at the very beginning of mmr. So, overall, mmr didn't change much in my experience.

It didnt change anything. The matches are still unbalanced in terms of real skill level (just like old system) and as some others have said all it did was make more people run meta perks...
I myself run random perks and experiment regardless of what survivors are running (im killer main)

Hasn't necessarily killed the fun, to me it seems like it's killed many people's drive to improve or get better at the game because they're aware they'll hit the MMR brick wall where only 1 side has fun.
Something like that

MMR makes it so that ranking up puts you into a chaotic mess.
It's rote and boring. If you do poorly, you're not having a good time by default. But if you win a few matches, prepare your butt for some of the most oppressive, cruel match-ups this side of the Mississippi.
