The second iteration of 2v8 is now LIVE - find out more information here: https://forums.bhvr.com/dead-by-daylight/kb/articles/480-2v8-developer-update

Went up against a killer with less than a tenth of my playtime.

These were the hours of the person I just played against.

These are my hours - On my Steam profile. This doesn't include the 1200-1400 hours I have on my PS4, and for some damn reason, you can't check your hours on PS4. Even if I didn't include my PS4 hours, I have roughly seven times the amount of hours as this killer. Why is this game so god-damn unforgiving to new players? They DCed halfway through the match, and I can't really blame them. I don't believe I got lobby dodged either, that was the first killer the game put me up against.

I have no idea how people can get into this game now. I found it difficult when I joined in 2017.

    I have 3k hours and constantly get teeny weeny baby survivors I'm talking like ~20 hours and I cant kill them cause theyre so cute so I give them massive chases and gas them up in end game chat. Its a vicious cycle.

    "MMR"

    Games quality has decreased, A LOT.

    Honestly i had way better games with the old rank system. Today, most trials are a mess in soloQ. It was not the case 1 month ago, the MM was working great for me but i think the devs have tweaked the parameters.

    I'm pretty sure it went as this :

    • devs have nerfed gen regress
    • devs have created a new META with MFT
    • devs have seen a huge decrease in kill rate
    • they have tweaked the MM settings to inflate the kill rate artificially

    That is the way they are working for 2 years now. Instead of fixing the game, they change the MM algorithm to keep the kill rate around 60%.

    That is why you get 3 impossible to win trials with a total of 4 kills (4 out of 12 = 33%) and then you get 2 extremely easy trials with 4 kills each (8 out of 8 = 100%) and it is magic, yo uget a 60% kill rate even though all 5 trials were trash.

    Something is definitely wrong with matchmaking right now. I had quite a few survivors with even less then 100 hours over the past couple days. One of them only had 3 hours! I know my MMR on Huntress is probably not super high but when I can compete with survivors that have 3k hours and more, I doubt that I'm so bad that this person was on my level.

    The worst part is that you can't really help these players. Let them win and they might go against someone who is even better than you next game. Beat them and they'll feel awful.

    Surprisingly I've also seen some super cracked survivors with less than 10 hours (one Ace spun me to hell and beyond and attempted a CJ tech using Plot Twist + Unbreakable) and 1 killer that just bought the game but wiped the floor with us on his Blight (that man was insane). I'm guessing they already played the game on a different platform.

    We can't really every know if MFT did decrease kill rates, but the ######### up matchmaking is definitely partially at fault for games feeling incredibly bad.

    I've been seeing a decent amount of Survs with 100-200 hours lately in my killer games. Survivor games are often against crossplay killers, so I can't always check.

    MMR is completely useless.

    I have a level 5 free epic account. It goes up against full teachable teams. It has never got 1 kill.

    We suffer through it, and not even the noobs get the benefit.

    As a soloq survivor I am being put with people under 50 hours, and I have 3000+. The kind of survivors my epic account should be put against.

    Well i'm sure that the matchmaking does everything to keep the stats where the devs want them to be - 60% kill rate

    One month+ ago i did many soloQ testing and quality of my trials was mostly great with survivors and killers of the same skill level.

    After that i have only played with my SWF, winning 80% of the trials.

    Now, it has been two weeks i'm starting again to play soloQ from time to time, my MMR is supposed to be exactly the same than during my previous testing.

    The quality of my trials have decreased by a lot. I end up playing with survivors that have 500h and the killers can have from 200h to 8000 hours.

    I'm pretty sure the stats have been messed up with the gen regress perks + MFT and the devs have been forced to change the MM to keep the kr at 60%.

    That's what i believe and that is the only reason that comes to my mind. There is no reason that the MM was working great 1 month+ ago and now it is messed up.

    One of my first five games as killer I had a prestige 75 Leon but he quick swapped into them.


    Like I realize prestige isn't really a sign of Skill and I did sacrifice them because they kept trying to blind me at pallets
