SBMM changes did NOTHING.
Still hardly seeing any killers besides nurse and blight, (legion is being seen but that will die down soon enough). This is so incredibly boring, give me a weaker team so I can at least verse a different killer...
Then killers miserable, cant have any fun in these matches. I get no weak link and have people running full meta with strong items making the experience just pointless, god forbid I play someone who isnt blight and able to actually stand a chance.
I just cant force myself to play your game in this current state, no side is fun and neither gives/allows variety. And I'm not going to spend ages deranking every other day.

Forcing this game to have SBMM while balancing for the lowest bracket skill level it was so obvious this would happen and it is definitely getting tedious. It's super annoying wanting to go for a daily like "Level up Evil With 4 times as Myers", I bring some random build in which isn't meta and gens just fly in 5-6 mins with 3-4 chases max simply because I'm going against the calibre I go against with Nurse and have very very close games either side. Myers cannot compete against this especially when not even running meta gen defense perks.
Then you got the egotistical survivors telling you to "get good" and they say they killers fine because they 4k every game. I don't really see how an M1 killer can "get good" if the survivors just run to every pallet and predrop with 0 negative, force you to break it then they run to another, rinse repeat. There is certain tiles im which M1 killers cannot do a thing about, then of course they use Dead Hard to extend a chase even longer which you have no ability to counter it at all because the devs love to gut the Exhaustion addons. How exactly are you supposed to get good if you are a W walking break pallet simulator?
If the devs are so determined to push MMR they need to start listening to higher level players and not bricks who can't even tie their own shoes.

I'm just bored and fed up. The game is getting so stale and I cant have fun in it.
I dont mind versing blight/nurse, but not all the damn time... and killer well dont even get me started on that rubbish
1 -
I've had significantly worse matches on killer and on survivor.
5 -
That's because they have tightened the matching parameters, mine is pretty much the same as I'm off peak time but neither is enjoyable. (Admittedly I can have the one fun survivor game but it soon gets stale when it's only 2/3killers)

The SBMMR changes did nothing, because the core issue is the horrible balancing. DbD is the first pvp game that balances around the lower skilled players instead of balancing around the top players.

They made two changes that somewhat cancel each other out.
So, I'm not surprised this is the outcome.
2 -
Yeah I dont get why, they could easily implement a system which puts new players together, they can add the basic tutorial bots as filler too so they get an idea how to play.
I do find it odd that the top players are ignored
1 -
That too, I assumed it would be obvious reducing the cap wont help as itll just push players further down. Top will remain the same

Something is a bit iffy recently for sure, but I think that's a lot of people coming for the bonus archive stuff leading to more backfill, and thus more chaos.
I know I've just gone between a 4500 hour Nurse, a 120 hour Bubba and a 3300 hour Trickster.

Mine hasn't been like that it's just been consistently the same boring stuff, I just cant play for more than a few games atm

Legit the first game where instead of paying someone to boost your account, you'd be better off paying someone to just throw games for you.

Well the questionaire at least hinted toward alternative game modes. So there´s a little hope here.
0 -
Yeah because "skill based matchmaking" doesnt work well in a game of RNG for pallets and window. Thats why you constantly see nurse and blights cause they ignore how strong certain tiles can be.
0 -
Well I dont care for other game modes personally as that's not what my issue is for me.
I'm not a fan of splitting the playerbase either, but I'll take a non ranked mode. It will suck for some people I verse because I'm good but I want to be able to play for fun
0 -
Oh definitely RNG is a issue but even before that some maps are far to big and just some tiles are too strong. DH is an issue as well, especially now you're matched against similar skilled players and it's far more common to be used
0 -
Splitting the playerbase sounds bad on one hand. But on the other hand, a huge amount of players quit the game for one reason or another. Having more game modes might just be the thing they wait for, so they actually come back.
1 -
Sad thing is they won't admit being wrong and can it.
Just go back to the old system but make getting a pip harder across all ranks and remove the safety pip.

It's been a fun ride, but I think DBD reached its peak and that was in 2021. DBD has lost about 45% of its overall playerbase in the last 7 months. The game is dying slowly but surely and people are quitting and just moving on.

BHVR knows this and I have a hard time believing they will do anything to improve it (they have proven time and time again that they don't listen to their playerbase the majority of the time, the changes they make end up making things worse, and they constantly seem to take one step forward, two steps backward in most things). I'm not sure how much longer I will be playing DBD as SBMM has ultimately ruined most of the enjoyment I had left in this game.

one day i'm having great matches with great teammates, and the next day, i'm just dying on 1st hook against a blight or a nurse or something like that. i understand your problem, and i just wish people would take a break from blight or nurse or even spirit because after a while, it gets soooooo boring
0 -
to be honest with you, i couldn't agree anymore. i have brought 3 packs for this game and a few cosmetics, but now that the game is dying, i don't want to feel like that was a waste. I enjoyed this game so much (before the resident evil update due to all the bugs) and i think that if they want to make this game great again they need to implement a health update, or even a new gamemode (perhaps something to do whilst you're waiting for a match in game).

They've listened for the request about a second objective for the survivors.
We got the boons. 😒

It's always funny when people go through the most ridiculous mental gymnastics to justify why the game is losing so many players.
0 -
Ridiculous Mental gymnastics? Do you have a simple mind in which an explanation seems exhausting to you? You can always peruse over to youtube that will do the thinking/explaining for you.
