I literally haven't played this game in a couple months and all of a sudden I am ONLY playing against 4 man swf's. I am not exaggerating when I say its 90% of my games. what happened to the matchmaking in the last couple months because I have never been more miserable playing killer in my life.

    I would say since the implementation of a semi working matchmaking with SBMMR (which got worse over time again btw) the game has evolved into tryhard or get tryharded.

    Killer play with maximum kill efficiency in mind by camping or tunneling and survivor have been driven more and more into swf groups either because of the killer playstyle or because they grew tired of useless teammates.

    The point about matchmaking getting worse again is that both sides aren't equally distributed among skill levels or whatever. I wouldn't dare to say i knew any specifics about the distribution but the devs have resorted to softening matchmaking parameters to combat growing queue times.

    With the effect that middle/lower skill players getting curb stomped more frequently to keep high level players more happy

    They loosened the requirement for matchmaking at higher levels, so super good killers and survivors can stomp even less experienced people than before. Gotta love the devs and their priorities <3

    It's funny because it was some random running the boon too, far too many Killers are "Absolutely sure" people are in SWF because they take hits or something.
