Is MMR off?
I faced OnePumpWillie and the team just gave up and I got out through hatch. Then the very next game I go against a 70 hour trickster who got 1 hook. I would assume my mmr was high since i faced someone currently on a streak of 144 wins. Did I miss something? Is mmr off right now?

Personally the matchmaking has felt extremely broken ever since 6.1.0.
I think it's because there is a lack of survivor players.

So, the queue times are sooooo long, that eventually MMR becomes useless. This game prioritizing queue time over match balance.

Like the others said, it's just that the game doesn't want to make you wait in the queue for over an hour. Better to wait a few minutes and play an unbalanced match than to play no match at all.

Not enough survivors so people of vastly different rankings are being put together more frequently than before.

After midnight, MMR tends to fail more often than not. (e.g. if you live in Europe, it would be that time)

ahhh okok and before the patch MMR was well ? not realy ! i play dbd nearly 4 years, Ive seen a lot and can say matchmaking is so bad since the cap for mmr has been lowered so that all bad players are matched with experienced players (like emblem system)
MMR wasn't perfect before either but it has a reason to exist but you can clearly see now that the matchmaking is bad because the people who were just carried by the "meta perks" are going under now, i can still loop for you the killers for minutes , but that doesnt work if the killer ignores me and goes to the weak mates or my mates don't make any gens after minutes of free time, and swf is same and easy mode (no David KIng with 500 hours or Urben Nea, Hidding Claudi, Sprintburst saving Meg, no... my mates are Ace and Nea with 5k+ hours) destroy all killer

is MMR still calculated by 'get gate escape'/'get hook sacrifice' and nothing else btw?

MMR is basically non-existent for all the points noted in the thread and BEHAVIOR DEVELOPERS knows that people will still play regardless. It's a shameful disregard for player experience. If you have under 2,000 hours of gameplay and trying to improve, avoid these times or you will be decimated (as survivor) or shamed (as killer) more than not. The overpowered and legacy players that know this and purposely hunt during these times:
- After 5pm your time zone (unless your in the middle of chapter, event or tome releases when legacy players drop the game)
- On the 12th of each month (because rank resets on the 13th)
- The first three days of any event
- The first three days when a new tome is released
- The last two days of an event
- The last two days of the tome close
Yea, doesn't leave a lot to practice and improve. Honestly BEHAVIOR DEVELOPERS should suspend de-pipping when paired the match exceeds a certain level for lower-level MMR players. It's demoralizing not to even have a chance to safety pip. All the tinkering of perks is such a waste of time and subterfuge -- does nothing to the #1 problem in the game. At least give me a choice as player to wait longer for my MMR group.

No official confirmation was given, but the ceiling for MMR was effectively reduced from 1900 to 1600. It's not hard getting to 1600 at all and once you reach that, you can get matched against Ralph's Huntress or that 70 hours trickster.

Haunted by Daylight (Halloween event 2022) really underscores that MMR is really only effective at a really high player base. For steam charts that is in the 60k range or higher. Unfortunately, players feel it when the tier 1 killers start raining down in their games and just make it so damn sweaty for the great middle base of players. it's the reason this halloween season has up and down spikes and not a sustained level of gameplay.

Yup, went against a lobby where everyone was above p60 1st game then 4 p0s that ended in them all having under 5k bp.

It's because the matchmaking system is broken.

The MMR is Absolutely OFF. I could write you a book to what has been happening to me the last 3 weeks, it's insane. It so makes no sense that even if I tried explaining that to you you'd call me a troll. So to answer your thread - YES.

No,MMR just is,always has been,garbage.
0 -
Don't know if its on or off, but i face different level of players everytime, it could be 30+ lvl surv or somebody with yellow perks. The games, matches are far from being balanced.

long queues = scuffed matchmaking

More like an overabundance of killer players.

BHVR Devs, can we now have a conversation? And not just listen to the Content Creators and Whisperers. You could only break 60k 4 times during the Haunted by Daylight 2022 (on Steam). Midnight grove was a sustained 75k. Dead by Daylight is in trouble and it makes me sad because you keep doubling down. Your MMR choices are wiping out the mid-tier and low-end players and these dramatic dips demonstrate that. I'm not sure why this is so confusing unless Patrick was right - you only care about the high-end and new players. Sadly, your free Halloween days won't give you the bump you hope for. Please fix this so we can have fun playing.
