Matchmaking is a bit wonky.....

Not sure how it works for others but I am getting all kinds through rank 1 to 20 and it is pretty unfair when good survivors get matched with a rank 20 killer and destroy them. Then you get rank 20 survivors getting matched with other rank 1 survivors and a rank 1 killer which leads to them most likely getting owned if found.

I know killers can already see a lot of information when in the lobby but I do think there should be an indication of what skill level people are going up against for both sides so people have the option to avoid. I get that most people think the game should be balanced around the "higher skill" players but you need to give new people a chance as well!

    Thats what the matchmaking and ranking was originally for.

    But they busted it hard, some Killers like Trapper, Huntress, Billy, LF etc. Just get denied a pip no matter how good they are if they use their powers.

    If you pair that with the new horrible Gatekeeper you have a recipe for disaster.

    Not to mention that survivors now compete for gens and unhooks which makes the game weirder for them as its a combination of hook bombing and gen rushing.

    I noticed this too but I don’t really care if we keep getting games in a few mins. I’d rather play a difficult killer than play none and wait for a match. Besides you need to lose and learn from mistakes in order to get better and adapt. I don’t mind it at all like I said as long as it’s consistent in finding matches

    Yeah, I hate how it works. The matchmaking is the biggest problem with this game for me. There should be a skill based matchmaking or something like Mortal Kombat where it tells you how good the other person is.

    It would be hard to get right as that would be ripe for abuse but I am sure there are smarter people than me who can come up with better ideas.

    They seriously need to address something soon cause all this nonsense is gonna come back to bite them.

    They should honestly revert the changes and reduce the safety pip, it should be one or two emblems away from a pip instead being this huge margin of error.

    When bad games are more consequential then it will solve matchmaking over time without the need to tell players who and how to play.

    I agree with you but still it can be a put off for new players. Imagine your first ever game being against a rank 1 uber Nurse or rank 1 SWF squadettes. You would need counseling after that 😂

    Yeah, games have become less fun since pretty much everyone who wants to rank up has to be a try hard and the stress ruins it for everyone.
