Sure love being forced to play against 4 man SWFs in every match.

Thanks SO much for this marvellous “fixing” of the MMR that has me matched against 4 mans in every game now. Truly, you are the masters of game design.

    A survivor team skill of 5 can beat a killer skill of 3 as hard as a team of 10 beat a killer of 8.

    We will never know how high/low MMR of theirs, we only know survivors are better.

    Yes, exactly. If person A struggles against a Team this does not mean that person B would struggle as well. Without knowing the MMR, there is not really much which can be done.

    And even if we know that the MMR is working and the match was equal, this means that it is a hard match for both sides. So if a Killer has to struggle to get a 4K, this can also mean that the Matchmaking was really good for this game.

    SWF's aren't rare. They're not rare at all. 4-man Sweat squads are

    It's not SWFs, it's just the SBMM system being made worse with each additional update to it from the devs.

    I'm in the Australian server. I also agree with those who say you aren't facing 4man swfs every game. The last official stats we received in 2022 were something like 4% of the playerbase consist of 4man swfs. It may have increased but I doubt by much.

    You're quite right about the breakdown of survs in SWF groups. The vast majority are two-mans, with threes and especially fours very uncommon.

    Those soul-taking comp quads make up a tiny portion of the overall playerbase, as are those tourney Nurses and Blights. And this game certainly is not primarily balanced around them either.

    I have a 2 person SWF and that's how I play most of the time. Sometimes when I play solo I get seals other times it's seal team six. There is no MMR system it's just players who know how to play as a team and those who don't. I have gone up against a sweat squad as a killer but those are very few and far between. Thing is when you're playing killer identify the one who is the runner or who wants to be the runner because they more than likely can't do gens and will run you the game if you let them. That's the most common mistake I see on 80% of these killers.
