Fix matchmaking

For the love of god. Fix it.

You're putting baby survivors up against very skilled & experienced killers. Why do we have to babysit them?

    been said many times before. Due to que times if they wait to long they will just be thrown into a match. During peak hours its not unheard of to have 70 to 90 survivors for each killer player..

    I'll happily wait for appropriately skilled survivors to be matched with.

    Solo queue is hell & matchmaking is making it unbearable.

    they tried that before and in extreme cases the que times were over 45mins. As things stand with people saying so many survivors are leaving with the upcoming patch it might funnily enough get better for solo que players due to less bad matchmaking. If survivor player do quit plaing that is.

    Okay call me stupid but last one month I've been getting teammates that do not know how to play the game.I have 5k hours in game,therefore I might not be the best but I have basic knowledge.

    Every 9 to 10 games I get teammates that are too scared to look for noed,too scared to do gens,too scared to save.I even had a few trolls t-bagging me on hook while they didn't save.

    Upon this,many campers + teammates that do not know how to counter an m1 camper.

    They are scared to take a hook or a hit.

    I dont blame them.Is mostly matchmaking being matchmaking. But today it became so mentally exhausting I actually cried from anger and uninstalled.

    I'll be back when ill be able to have intresting and fun games on both sides. bye-bye

    I seriously doubt queue times would be anywhere near that long at the time, and server, I play. There's barely a 5 second wait as it is to find a lobby right now as survivor. It isn't going to jump to 45 minutes to find 3 others who aren't brand new to the game.

    few things:

    1. How long did they wait for?

    2. Two or three man swf are very common and are more common the 4 man swf. this is where you can see differnt levels as well.

    some regions or if you play at ungodly hours you can low survivor ques and higher killer ques but then the issue would filp.

    AKA a baby to pro killer going up vs random people.

    Also keep in mind if there's a single instance of a lobby dodge, be it a surv or the killer, backfilling that void ignores MMR to keep queue times lower.

    We're doing it to ourselves with the all the dodging, mates.
