Kill Switch update: We have temporarily disabled The Legion due to an issue that allows for infinite power spam. The Legion will be re-enabled once this issue is fixed.

Matchmaking sucks

Every single game I get survivors who are really low skilled (They waste pallets, they get downed immediately, they run away from you when trying to heal, etc) and every time I look at the result screen I can see why. I keep getting fast lobbies with really good ping but at a terrible cost. I get matched with low skilled survivors within my area instead of getting matched with same skilled survivors. I don't mind waiting an extra few minutes to find the right lobby and I wish there was an option to configure that because I hate being the one survivor who was to babysit these baby survivors while dealing with a high ranked killer as well.

    Guess what, high rank survivors do the same crap, thanks to the poorly designed ranking system where no one is at their approppiate rank.

    Well I figured those guys either don't care or purposefully want to derank without leaving the match.

    Matchmaking doesn't always seem to work as it's intended to. You should be placed with other rank 4 or 7.

    A lot of it is because of the lack of proper matchmaking with SWF groups. 

    If a rank 14 invites a rank 2 and 3 into their SWF lobby they will all be paired up with a rank 12-16 killer. 

    If during the next match the rank 2 is the one inviting the others into their lobby they will face off against a red rank killer.

    As a killer player you will find a lot of survivors using SWF to be pitted against killers much lower ranked then them for EZ games and pips. 

    If if they do this enough they can rank up pretty fast without ever facing killers of similar rank. Hence the common phenomenon of potatoe survivors in red and purple ranks. Without SWF these people struggle.

    The matchmaking has been broken by SWF for 3 years now.
    The devs havent cared so far, so I doubt that this will change anytime soon

    Yay! More ways SWF breaks the game. Love it.
