I was enjoying < 1 minute wait times for survivor

Now it's back to 10+ minutes with the revert. At least when I was getting into trials ASAP the DCs or camp and tunnel fests didn't bother me as much because the next game was right around the corner. Now it takes 10 minutes to get into a game and then either a survivor DCs, meaning best case scenario one of us gets the hatch OR we actually do well and the killer DCs, completely nullifying our BP and rank gains.

But yeah give in to killers who were upset they had to wait 30 seconds to get into a lobby or people who wined because they occasionally had to go against someone who outranked them.

    Yeah....havent played today. Had 4 hours last night and got 4 games.

    One was waiting 30 mins, killer dc, 15 more mins to get rank 10 ish survivors with a rank 2 killer.

    Waiting and weird matches. Bad combo.

    And while I'm happy for those who have instant games now, somehow, I am having worse issues that 5 minute waits and mismatched ranks...

    I actually get much faster lobbies now.. My killer lobby is full in 1-2 minutes (at rank 7) & I get lobbys in 1 minute max as a rank 8 survivor. With the "new" system I had to wait 2 minutes as survivor on that same rank and got 90% red rank killers & I waited for 3-4 minutes to find a match as killer.. so personally I'm pretty happy that we got the old system back.

    Conclusion: Both systems are inconsistent

    The whole purpose of the new matchmaking was to balance and improve the average queue times overall for all players. That means, some people maybe waited a bit longer than before but other people waited much shorter than before. With the new MM i had only longer wait times as killer with 3-4 min but i didn't really care, survivor was fine with < 1 min. I'm sure many people still didn't get that point of the new MM.

    Cause i want to have normal matches.

    Not matches that are clearly one sided from the beginning...

    the waiting times weren't that bad, I think the worst thing for me was going against red rank killers with good addons again & again as a solo player that isn't that great & with 3 teammates that somtimes are even worse than me.. since the revert of the system I have those red rank killers only every other game instead of every game. When I was rank 12 or something I only got baby killers & that wasn't great either (for them). If they fix that I would be pretty happy with the new system they had.

    Killers complain about queue times, survivors complain about queue times.


    I guess BHVR didnt revert to old matchmaking, the reverted to sth else thats broken =)

    IDK if it has to do with my region but I have NEVER had wait problems. Literally never had them.


    The new system that got ditched was actually much worse for me. It turned the waits into a few minutes as opposed to about maybe a minute?


    The only damn problem I wish could get fixed is the "3 man" lobby thing. Where for some reason finding another person takes forever. Especially if a full lobby had 1 person quit. You can tell its some weird issue too because if a 2nd person backs out then the lobby gets full again nearly instantly.

    new system helped a lot with my friend group because one of us in our group has a really slow connection that for some reason put us into slow queuing times. and on top of this, we play on PS4, and from what ive seen with this queue times on PS4 are already god awful. having 25-30 minute waits or up to an hour wait for one or two matches wasn't the greatest, so we were all enjoying the faster queue times.

    we were disappointed that it got changed back but fixes need to be made, i guess. yea i know the ranking system needs to be fixed, too but... here's hoping we can have a matchmaking system where it doesnt make the game unplayable for us that we give up after waiting for too long for just one match. ;o;

    I am the opposite, I had 30 minute wait times before the change, 1 minute after

    A lot of people who didn't have very long wait times before the matchmaking was changed, started getting matched up against people they had no chance against. The new matchmaking did nothing for them except make the game just suck to play. Why wouldn't they complain?
