question about MMR
Is MMR different for every killer or is it the same for all of them?? If I was to buy a new killer do I start at the lowest MMR on them??

It was supposed to be different according to the devs but it's never ended up that way, it's all the same regardless but MMR isn't real anyway it's a placebo to make you ignore ranks when you get to the endgame in case you're paired with people out of your league

Doesn't differ at all. I have killers I have almost not played at all since MMR and they get the same caliber survivors as my most played killers.

I've bought new killers fresh from the store and I still get matched with the same level of survivors that I play against on my main killers.

The last official info that I recall is that any new killer that you haven't played yet starts with -200 MMR points compared to the one that has the most. So if you hit the soft cap of 1900 with say Trapper and then bought Nemesis, you'll start with 1700 MMR points.
But in practice MMR doesn't work so all the technical information is meaningless.

It's different but only to a point. Your lowest killer is within a reasonable range of your highest killer.

They're different but I don't think the devs have specifically explained if the ratings vary totally independently or if you have a base rating as a killer player and a modifier for every killer up or down from that.

You guys remember when the devs pushed this system as a benefit for killers saying that they could play Nurse or Nemesis or some other killer they've never played before without having to play against 5k hour survivors? Hahaha

Each killer has their own MMR. However, the floor of that MMR is based on your overall killer MMR. So, it's a mix.
You buying and playing Pig for the first time will not be the same as a person playing DBD killer for the first time. But it also shouldn't be the same as your best killer.
That was one of the best things about SBMM. That I got to play killers I was noob with and be matched with easier survivors. Before the change, I used to do well on killers I knew how to play and got destroyed when I played a new killer. This of course disincentivized learning new killers.
However, when survivor queues are long, matchmaking is less accurate. So it matters at what time of day you play.
Exactly my experience. It's been fantastic. I now play 25 of the 26 killers because of it and get matched pretty well against survivors based on how good I am at that killer. The exception for this is perhaps Trickster. I do less well with him because I end up getting downs with M1 that lead to sacrifices when I'm behind which inflates my MMR. Self-inflicted wound.
