Why is the mmr system so broken?

I feel like there's a reason dbd is the only mmr game where you can't even see your own mmr. Because apparently the system is completely broken. I'm sure everyone has gone into games where the skill of players is all over the place. I just got out of a game where this survivor went down to a pig in about 15 seconds. They got hit twice at a pallet gym somehow (the pig didn't even sneak up on this survivor, just ran at the guy into the pallet gym).

Then I take chase with the pig and they didn't know how to moonwalk or do any mindgames at shack. Ran him for about a minute and a half before the pig left. Found the first player again and of course they go down instantly. Then I take chase again and run the pig for about 2-3 minutes as everyone else got out but me.

Clearly the system is broken, I have no idea why I'm not sure if it's a shortage of players but I'm sure it can't be hard to match up people with equal skill. But it adds to a lot of frustration and toxicity in the game when we can't even have evenly matched skill games.

    They want fast queues so the whole idea of "skill based matchmaking" gets thrown out the window because they add a soft cap to mmr.

    Also all the killer queue times are falling to backfill right now. So it's MMR roulette right now.

    A mixture of this game having not a clear objective and BHVR needing fast qeues so that the game doesn't die.

    This „mmr“ is broken most of the time. My experience is more the other way: bad/new killer were paired with good survivors and that’s the main reason for the low killrates!! But instead fixing the mmr the devs decided to make a big killerbuffupdate…
