There is definitely something up with the incentives

I was just playing some survivor matches and the incentive was 1.5x and then it went away. I then went to play a match of killer thinking queue times were finally fixed and ended up waiting 4 and a half minutes for a match. Why in the world would the incentive basically say “the queue times are balanced on each side” since there was no incentive on either role but still have long killer queue times??? I know the devs have been beating around the bush about incentives being bugged but come on, this is crazy.

    Also - did the incentive %'s go away and now we are using x?

    Sounds like its working exactly as intended then. They want people to think that the game is in a decent spot, even though its not even remotely close. Survivor games are found in seconds, with or without incentives, while killer queues are so long people are able to play entire different games in queue. You expect that kind of queue time from a competitive mode in a shooter, not a party game.

    My queue times have been about the same. Hopefully tomorrow is a bit better with the event. I'm looking forward to playing chill killer and getting some good bp gains with everyone

    Incentives can be weird because of MMR splitting matchmaking essentially into separate buckets, I believe the incentive system does somewhat account for this, but under certain circumstances there can be a mistmatch between the incentive offered and matchmaking time because no matter what role you play you're being put into an overpopulated bucket based on your MMR

    My incentive has been messed up since Lights Out. It's like a switch was flipped overnight and it never changed back to the way it used to be. Survivor should have a massive incentive at all times with how imbalanced the queue is. Still doesn't happen.

    I am getting Instant queues with Killer. So I am not sure. At least as of right now for my region.
