So ... How Might This Have Happened?

I was playing as part of a 4-person SWF last night, and we suspected that our lobby was bugged, so I exited the party and all four of us exited all the way back to the main screen (not restarting the game). When we did, all three of the four of us had different BP bonuses -- Two people had a 100% bonus to play killer, but the 3rd had a 50% killer bonus and the 4th had a 25% survivor bonus. All of this was happening at the same time.

We all were in the same place in the game -- the main screen -- at the literal same time, and we all play in what should be the same region/area (two of us live less than 20 miles away from one another). If we were playing in different regions (I'm in NA, and I've played SWF with someone from Great Britain before, as an example), I could understand it, but since we weren't -- does anyone have an explanation for why we might have different incentives?

    That's what I suspected, but my assumption had been that the BP incentives wouldn't be looking at your MMR (and if more people were needed at your "skill level" when handing out the bonus), but rather at the overall picture of the number of survivor players vs. killer players at that snapshot in time, regardless of what someone's MMR is according to the game.

    If that's what was happening, it's an interesting window as to how the game's matchmaking is currently functioning.

    ETA: For what it's worth, our survivor lobbies as a SWF were pretty much instant, so the presumption would have been that there were a lack of survivors at that moment, and plenty enough killers to go around, making the 100% killer bonus for anyone seemingly out of place, unless MMR was the determining factor on that bonus being offered.

    How can it use your MMR if it doesn't know whether you're playing Killer or Survivor? And how would it take into account the supposedly different MMR for each of your Killers?
