I think the matchmaking system is beyond terrible.

How can they match a new player against players who have leveled up their prestige and equipped full perks? I'm a beginner player and I enter the game with only one perk, how is it possible to be matched up against a player with a prestige level of 100? I wish I had taken a screenshot when the player with a prestige level of 100 joined the game. I think the matchmaking system should be more fair.

    welcome to dbd :D dbd is the only game that i know that dosent have a Matchmaking, new players will be matched with veterans, if you play swf with good people at your level 5k+ hrs then you will destroy pretty much all killers, this swf will not be matched with killers around the level they are, Blight, Nurse players with a 500 or even 1k win streak in a row, they also won't be matched with survivors who are about their level

    have fun in dbd, -signed by bhvr, our top priority is "play killer or swf, or die in the solo q!"

    Ok well this is gonna be super short and super well not sweet. I am a new player such as yourself. I have a total of 275 hours game time played. So far I have faced as a killer and dealt with as a killer everything from p0 to p90. You know what you do if a p100 joins your game as survivor? You sit back and you smile because odds are they are going to run the killer till he croaks while you do gens or they are going to make gens fly. So either way in that one you have a win win. If you got them as killer you still sit back and laugh because that pita chase you just got into for 5 gens is going to make you learn the safe tiles to play as a survivor and make you a better chaser as a killer. So in the end this p100 in your game is not a bad thing. Also MMR and matchmaking it doesn't exist.

    Prestige doesn't mean anything sometimes. When I was with a p100 Steve (I am new too), I was like yes! I lasted longer than him. I think you need see that soloq is garbage heap. There is no matchmaking. There is not enough players, especially right now, to do it. Yeah it sucks because I don't want to play SWF and gamers are of all ages not just a certain age. There is no balance to the game in any aspect. It's pretty bad when a Roblox free game can do it better than a paid game can.
