Has anyone been constantly bullied lately?

I know this may seem like a Us vs Them post and I’m sorry for sounding like this. I tried to ignore it and report the bullies but thanks to SBMMS I keep running into them even though I block them for personal reasons. But anyway I just keep running into these bully swf groups at night even though at night it’s supposed to be chilled but for me lately it hasn’t. I decided to just play survivor from now and maybe once Dredge comes I get his adept maybe I don’t know. I mean I taken many breaks like I mention before and sometimes they help but sometimes I like to go to back and play dbd and try to have some fun but again it’s just hasn’t been like that lately. All I’m really saying is I don’t know what else to do, I probably did what I could do. Thank you all for reading my question and let me know what I can do? Also hope you all have a great weekend.

    Dude, nights for me have never been chilled. I know specifically to get a hard objective I need to play early in the day. I don't even try for irridescent emblems in evening. :/ SWF usually pop up for me in evenings as well, I think because more people are out of work.

    I know how you feel and yeah I tried to play fair and even be nice like I’ve been barely tunneling and camping even though it’s what a killer player should do but for me I just try to go for a equal and fair match. But yeah I think that’s part of the problem too is that more people getting home from work and especially kids getting out of school for the summer so sometimes you tend to run into crazy kids. But like you said it may help to play in the morning or something like that. Overall it’s just really frustrating having to what feels like being constantly messed with even though again we all tried to play nice and fair.

    Are you playing against these specific people? Or this is your experience in general?

    I tend to play in the morning or early afternoon, but I never play Killer in the evening.

    Try to switch roles when your games repeat themselves.

    I hope for better games!

    No I am not trying to play with these certain people but the skill based matching keeps putting with the same people even I tried my hardest to avoid them but SBMMS keeps messing up at least from my experience. I do try to switch roles from time to time like I would mainly play more survivor games then I do killer cause you know killer has been really hard or again at least from my experience. I also sometimes will play in the afternoon but I mainly play at night. But anyway yeah I hope you and everyone else have better games soon.

    Oh I’m sorry you had to go through that and I understand completely it so annoying going against all that. That’s good that you were able to do your daily’s and rift challenges cause I also know that those can be a pain too. But anyway hope you also get better games too.

    It seems right now is no good time to play killer in EU.

    After i get stomped for some games the mighty MMR balance kicks in i get total newbies instead.

    You have to try to don´t take it too serious if you come along a bully death squad. But these can really annoy you.

    I understand and yeah the skill based matching system like everyone says just does not work at all. I will try not to let it bug me cause I know that’s not good lol. But anyway bullies just need to get a new hobby and stop messing with people but they won’t sadly which sucks. Thank you for answering my question I appreciate it.

    I only camp and tunnel bully squads. But the arms race just for survivors has outmatched killers dramatically. It now seems the only way to play.

    They should increase our SBMM less when we don't camp and tunnel to win. But that wouldn't work out wrecking weaker players every match either. I just don't like the extreme raises in SBMM all at once. Go from completing Archives to completing nothing and constantly never winning for the rest of the day.

    I understand and yeah it really sucks that’s how SBMM works. I mean I get why they put us at anyone with similar skills but like you said we all have to play a little dirty like camping, tunneling, and using perks like borrowed time, dead hard, etc. Also I agree that system also makes it harder to complete certain archive challenges too.

    I liked the old MMR system where Purple ranks were dramatically harder than Yellow ranks, and just entering Red Ranks was extremely difficult. But getting from Red Rank 2 to Red Rank 1 was the most difficult "late into the month". At least then we could see that we were against all purples or all reds. This new system is making us blind to ranks, which can only benefit the devs against hackers. But hackers (or extreme players) can see/estimate their SBMM scores.

    Then again, it seemed like getting to Rank 1 was easier towards the start of the month. And once you got Rank 1 it was easy to maintain.

    I noticed that killers during weekday mornings would let all survivors win easily. Not even trying to hook. This gave out easy red ranks faster for all of them. Night killers are less forgiving.

    Kids are often the worst for hacking. Hackers used to come out when their schooling let out, but go away when the adults got home from work. In the old MMR system, hackers stayed in yellow ranks.

    Working age adults often form powerful red rank swfs and killers, but mostly come out at night. Mostly... and weekends. ;)

    Yeah I kind of miss the old system even though it wasn’t perfect but it was nice to see everyone’s rank. By seeing other people ranks you would know what kind type of players you were playing with. I also miss it when was a little easier to rank up more.

    I also agree hackers suck, I mean why go out of your way to ruin people’s fun? I mean that’s just wrong. I mean like some others have said hackers should use their skills to help and do good and not hack a multiplayer game of all things.

    I will also agree that kids especially can be super annoying to just face or play a game with in general even when they are not hacking. To me and again like others said kids shouldn’t be playing mature games but they think that they can since parents now a days don’t pay attention enough which is really sad.

    Yeah that too, having not only kids to deal with but also adults who act like kids with their friends. Which by all means is also annoying.
