killer queues are just abnormal

I really waited 7 minutes to play killer, to have a 5 minute game, because the survivors dc and still killed themselves against a pig, really the worst time to play with killer is this, I've never seen this in my life, take 7 minutes but on the survivors side find instantly,

    That's part of the reason I barely played killer since the patch. Ages in queue, and half the games don't even count because survivors are quitting all over the place regardless of what killer or build you're running. Feels like you're spending more time in queue than actually having fun.

    TBH, I'm fairly sure part of the reasons survivors are ragequitting on hook is because they can immediately queue into another game and there's no time wasted as long as you have the requisite selfishness to not care about your team. Makes shopping for a match much easier. You saw a lot of the same behavior when DC penalties were turned off in the past.

    Thats "normal" now, nighttime always has less Killers so queues shrink but before the patch around 21:30 in Europe there werent queues anymore, you could get a match instantly but now Killer still has to wait even during night.

    It’s too bad they couldn’t get the matchmaking incentive fix in the next small patch, but hopefully when it comes out in the full chapter patch 6.2.0 that’ll help even things out a bit. (Personally I haven’t had to wait THAT long for matches as a killer, but I also only really play at around 7-8PM Eastern US and the queue times never seem bad for me at that time of night.

    Play during the prime hours in the evening, when all the peeps come together to play SWF with their friends.

    Its not back to the instant queues of the past, but I get sub 1min queues during that time.
