Why is the Matchmaking so increadibly unfair

Yesterday i wanted to Track my Kill Rate. I've been feeling like im losing most of my Matches so a friend suggested i should start Tracking my Killrate and then i will see that it probably isnt as Bad as i thought.

And when i started it yesterday at Night with Legion, i got an average of around 2.4 Kills per Match which seems fine for me.


But today i started playing Demogorgon (who i have also played a lot so im not a Noob with him) And i keep getting absolute Sweat Squads. One of the Rules i made for Myself is that i will not Dodge a Lobby.

And what happened is that im getting completetly destroyed left and Right. Most Games i could only get a single Kill when i really tunneled or camped which i hate doing.


It feels absolutetly impossible to play Killer right now.

My Average Killrate today is at around 1.1 Kills. Needless to say im feeling absolutetly terrible.

I heard People complaining about either having Absolute Pros, or Absolute Noobs in their Lobbys. Well, im kinda missing the Noobs in mine. I would honestly take it at this point. ######### getting better. I just want to have some fun. BHVR, Please, give me an Option for better Matchmaking. Make a Fast Que and a Ranked Que or something. I just don't want to be steamrolled each and every Match and sweat my ######### Butt off every single Minute im playing your Game.

    If it makes you feel any better I just got matched with the guy who is ranked #3 in the world in Blight hits. For context I am a solo player. It's just bad all around.

    It seems fine to me most games are somewhat easy and some are very hard against gen efficient teams with 4 MFT meta builds, it depends but I wouldn't say "unplayable"

    just an advice always dodge lobbies with 3+ toolboxes they are very broken with a dedicated build

    Matchmaking is pretty broke. I

    Especially if there are any backfills since they won't be mmr filtered. Not that mmr filtered matches are that accurate anyway. Usually mmr as killer is a little more stable tho, maybe you're a little rusty with demo? And your previous mmr is coming back to haunt you.

    Props for not dodging though, when a killer dodges it messes up the mmr for that came so well done for not being part of the problem.

    You're not only one my killer matches has become so sweaty. There are killers I like to play but because they suck I should stop playing them best for me would master on of the strongest killer and only play it to be able to compete fairly. I still find ways to win most my games but that because survivors make mistakes.

    SoloQ is not much better, few days ago I died 10 games a row. I seem to get worst teammates im so jealous to the killers who get to play agains't us. Even usually they seem to have mastered their killer like so often we play agains't P100 blight or wesker.

    So im finally at point that I will play less dbd it's only really worth to play swf or master one killer and I don't know if mastering Oni for example is possible on console when you can't do 180s and crazy turns.

    The game isn't in a nice place right now. I've not played properly for about three weeks since TCM came out. I dropped in just after to have some light matches after Xeno came out to find the game had become even more unpleasant. Horrible killer attitudes are propagating horrible survivor attitudes at the moment and vice versa too. I just cannot be bothered with the stress of it at the moment .

    I consider myself a very chilled DBD player. I don't care if I die. I just play for fun, but that's not been possible for me lately. I'm hoping I'll come back in a few weeks/months and it'll have changed. I've never been at thr point of taking an elongated break from the game before; I think because there's been nothing similar. Now there is, I don't miss DBD too much.

    If you look at nightlight.gg, you will see so many killers with a killrate of <50% like never before. With the upcoming Anti-Camp-Mechanic, I guess we will see more and more killers falling under 50%.

    The 60%, which they wanted on average, is reached by 2 (!) killers out of 32.

    Sounds balanced for me 🤣

    I can't recall having lost a game with my usual killers for these past two weeks. (I've badly lost with the Hag but it was a daily : I don't play her seriously)

    The main reason for my streak is the matchmaking mostly giving me players way too weak for me. Only now after two weeks I get teams with prestige 90+)

    So yes, it feels the matchmaking has been unfair recently. I'm just on the other side of that problem.

    The Blight Player: ######### is this? Is he a dbd god? I can't get a single read on him!!!

    DBD noob survivor: keeps accidently running into rocks and running in random directions
