Hey BHVR, how about we don't stick with this.
If this is supposed to be the new matchmaking then imma just be a full on killer main, Because if these are the teammates that i am going to be playing with, then i don't think there is any reason to keep playing survivor.

I think the new matchmaking is a little wonky, but I see what they were attempting to do. From what I can tell, it may be a system in which they give a Survivor a difficult Killer and MAYBE other ranked Survivors to help newer ranks learn from their mistakes. That’s just my theory on the current matchmaking system though, whether or not it’s true is a mystery to us all. :p

Killer lobbies have taken a while the past few days. Seems the new system is slower than the last. I wouldnt bother becoming a killer main.

with lobbies like this, it's the perfect time to become a killer main. lol.

idk man, for the past couple of hours of this matchmaking going live, i have had low ranks in my game, one of them being a rank 20 with only one perk, and while it is fun demolishing these people, i would like to have some kind of challenge or something, At this rate i might be able to get enough points to get Jeff to prestige 3. lol

the new match making is bad. 10 times in a row i got put into the lobby with 300+ ping. ######### bhvr, could you not ######### up the only properly working thing there is in the game?

Looks like there just matching people up regardless of rank or ping

Bold of you to imply matchmaking was functional in the first place

I get the opposite when playing killer. Since I've been focused on survivor, my killer rank is at an all time low but survivors are still much higher up. Pairing perfected loopers with 1 noob survivor is not a balanced match.

tbh I’ve been playing WAY more killer than survivor cause of stuff like this. Solo survivors have it he’d enough as it is with all these nerfs, then you get matched up with peeps like this? No thanks. I get more bp as Killer anyway.

Friend and I were searching for a lobby for probably ten minutes because we kept getting over 250 ping.
When we finally did get in some green ping lobbies the ranks were totally bonkers.

To be fair, I had little problems with the old matchmaking system. Fast lobbies, reasonable rank range, yellow/green ping most of the time. The only thing that was bad about it was that it prioritised new lobbies instead of the old ones.

Yeah solo reporting on feedback, given my playstyle it’s alright I don’t mind the new match making. Some games are easier, some games are harder. I definetly like the variety of killers I’ve been getting. Will report back once I’ve reached reds, but I’ve just been enjoying goofing around in purples atm as I’m not trying too hard.
It’s hasn’t been active long so will keep posted

I'll be taking a break until they sort this out. Match making is horrendous right now. I'd rather wait 10 minutes as killer and ha e lower pings survivors and appropriately ranked ones for a good match than this dumpster fire we have right now.
What the heck are the devs thinking?!

Wasnt there just a rank reset like 2 days ago? There's going to be a lot of people with a lower rank than they actually are, and the pool for higher ranks is still going to be very small.
When you run into matchmaking that looks like this a few days before the reset, though....

i'll take it over lobby simulator anyday.

I imagine this could be a mix of the matchmaking system trying to create matches quickly and the fact that the rank reset was very recent. So not many people have hit the same rank as you.

This is horrific match making, I shouldn't be rank 1 getting matched with rank 10 killers and rank 8 to 15 survivors as my team mates......... Not to mention all the red ping lobbies I am having to cycle through to get a decent ping. I have had several killers exclaim "I love this new system" because they are red/purple rank getting green/yellow rank survivors and it's just easy mode for them.

Rank 5 vs rank 4, thats a fair matchup.

The new matchmaking system doesnt include the ranking matching, its just all about queue times ignoring the ranks to reduce queue times to a minimum. Even thats not what a matchmaking system is all about. They actually dont care for that part atm.
0 -
I honestly don't know what hole they pulled their stats from for the announcement that the longest queue time was 3 minutes.
I did NOT get a match in 3 minutes, I got dumped in a 500 ping unplayable lobby within 3 minutes 5 times, and 15 minutes later got a match where I could jump a window without finding myself dying in the room I just left.
I did NOT find a killer game in 3 minutes, I watched 25 people from BRAZIL enter my AUSTRALIAN lobby in under a minute, see their 700 ping, and leave to wait for the next batch of Brazilians, when I can look at my steam friends and streams amongst other things and see that there's a tonne of Australian survivors at my rank on. 30 minutes later I get to play one match against a 4 stack SWF who stomp me trying to do a daily on a killer I don't like.
Try fixing your matchmaking to even slightly accommodate PING, RANK and LOCATION rather than literally removing all ability to play the game so that "oh maybe killers won't dodge lobbies as much."

Yeah based on the description on how they are performing match making it makes sense. They kind of generalize the description.
But they probably can tweak it quite a bit.... people gonna have to give it some time for it optimize itself.
0 -
The write up on it says based on rank and geolocation. I am rank 1 getting rank 10 - 15 killers, along with rank 8 - 15 survivors for team mates, that hardly seems right.
