So when do we get a SBMM system?

Generally curious as we currently only have a matchmaking system, I know it's called SBMM but its definitely not.

Doesnt track personally skill what so ever and is just a coin toss of who will be on your team, could be someone actually your skill or it could be a new player who cant loop or hit skill checks.

I know everyone says "good players will escape more often" while it may have an idea behind it isnt actually true, it's just a stretch like DBD being like hockey. Escaping is a TEAM effort, you're judged as a TEAM, so your personal skill doesnt matter and just have to pray you're on a team that can actually play.

This is why solo Q sucks so much, people are just thrown in all over the place and it's hard to enjoy matches you know are a complete lost cause because no one on your team decides to do objectives.

I shouldn't verse the same killer twice, first game win easily with him getting 2 hooks to versing him again where we get 1 gen done especially when I played better in the second match...

If my escape rate can massively improve due to a swf simply because I can find players that can do gens and are somewhat okay at looping shows your system isnt skill based as my skill hasnt changed.

So, SBMM when?

Edit: in short terms, I want an average game. One where we dont stomp or get stomped because of bad SBMM. Just a normal game where people are trying and are somewhat closely ranked

    Never. Hopefully never, the time when sbmm was "working", that time was one of the most stressful and unfun times ever on dbd, they lost thousands of players, no one wants to play comp games every match. Be careful on what u are asking for.

    I'm asking for me not to be put on teams that dont do gens at all and go down so fast they could be AFK...

    Doesnt need to be perfect but I certainly shouldn't be matched with people that dont do anything and punish me for it...

    I cant have fun in a game where its 100% a loss because the matchmaking sucks. It's more stressful being on a team that isnt even playing a normal game than it is to have to try to win in a game especially when my killer matches are full of people doing gens a d understand tiles yet god forbid I play survivor and I'll definitely see People get hit at mega safe pallets with 0 mindgame...

    Just doesnt make sense matchmaking wise

    So you would rather go against players that are either way worse than you or way better than you?

    A friend of mine routinely runs the killer for 3-5 gens then gets camped or tunneled. Best player on our team. Doesn't matter if killer focuses him even if the other three escape, his mmr goes down. Unlike the bullshit we've heard the devs say it's a VERY skilled play and VERY skilled player. Him losing has nothing to do with skill but sure, it's hockey and that's why he lost. Imagine playing hockey and scoring five hundred goals then you lose anyway despite the other team scoring ONE. Considering one dev openly said on camera "looping the killer for five gens then dying means you didn't make a skilled play" shows how out of touch at least that one dev is with the game if not more. Imagine a basket ball player ONE player getting 100 points, the other team COMBINED getting 101, and him being told he played poorly. Its absolutely stupid as hell. I really hate defending survivor but it's really stupid. This game punishes good survivors currently. If you bait a chase to help your team whether its one gen or five, you're likely to die no matter how skilled you are. You cannot stop a killer camping and tunneling so basing mmr on escapes makes no sense. It should be based on emblems like it was before. Not to mention how many players now who have to clue ######### grades are or how not deranking means your grade is MEANINGLESS with actual mmr hidden. Ive given up and stopped playing more times since this crap started than I EVER did before.



    Not to mention my killer games. I have a few lucky matches where a survivor makes one mistake and it snowballs into a 4k. Now next game is a sweat fest I can't win because the game says "you won so you're skilled" when I did nothing skilled. Some idiot just led me to someone injured person on a gen or how their perks work. Every other game is potatoes who I toy with and let go or dowsey and ayrun level bullshit I'm not prepared for.


    the current matchmaking system is the DUMBEST and WORST idea I have ever seen in ANY video game and so is EVERY explanation I've ever heard supporting it.

    If Good players dont escape more often, then are they really good players then? Sounds like bad players to me.
