Has matchmaking become more lax for killers?

I mostly play during peak hours at night when killer incentives are at 100%. I feel like they just throw any random survivors at me. I get baby and mediocre survivors in most of my games. 5 months ago, I felt like I was getting sweat squads every game. I haven't improved at the game since I only started playing again 3 weeks ago.

    DBD matchmaker heavily heavily prioritizes waiting time over skill. Even in ideal situations it will generate matches that should never happen. Now throw in times when there's not enough players playing x role and it gets comically worse, you could be going against brand new survivors or swf running green medkits and bnps. How long they have been waiting to find a killer plays a very large role

    yeah i've been noticing survivors in my lobby that make me look like a god hillbilly player and that's a bit weird as i hardly play him except for dailies and rift challenges so i shouldn't be good at him

    Well, you partially answered your own question, the incentive is 100% on one side and i would guess your queue times as killer are nonexistent?

    Because that are strong indicators that bhvrs speed over quality matchmaking approach is kicking in throwing anything that's in the queue together.

    So the surplus of killers or survivor lobbies gets matched with the next best that's available on the other side.

    And as long as that is the Modus operandi, this game will never FEEL balanced, no matter how much it might be.

    100% killer makes awful survivor lobbies by randomly putting survivors together. 100% survivor gives you a random skill killer with a well fitted survivor team.

    at least that's my experience. logically, shouldn't it be the other way around?

    Absolutely I've had baby survivors all the way to p90+ sometimes in the same match.

    It varies. One match you get a super well coordinated SWF and beat them due to a combination of luck and skill, the next you go against a baby Dwight, who just installed the game 10 minutes ago.

    I feel like this has gotten a bit worse than it used to, though I believe part of DBD's charm is the random moments that appear when the matchmaking goes haywire.

    I play with my friends and some days we get try hard Blights and Nurses with 5K hours and some days we get Micheal Myers with 100 hours.

    From my experience it's always a 2-2 situation as survivor, I can count on someone else to be useful and carry the team with me, while the other two are potatoes. As killer I can be matched with a 4 man comp SWF with a fancy team name and get absolute potatoes the next match, and then back again to efficient teams, with no gap in between the two at all and regardless of match outcome.

    Matchmaking in this game is a joke. I shouldn't be thrown againt baby survs, but I see them often. I usually let them farm some points, do few gens and loop me so they can feel like they accomplished something. It's not fun for me, but what can you do?

    I've won 28 of my last 30 Billy games. So....probably.
