Why was the discussion arguing that MMR should be made visible removed?
Is it because MMR is that much of a can of worms?

I think it's because it really doesn't exist. After this long and everyone on the same page about wanting it, they have no reason not to other than… they are unable. That's my take.

Yup. They are afraid to show MMR to the public in fear of some honestly stupid reasons. What they fear would happen with MMR being visible already happens albeit in different ways and honestly it's worse the way it is.

mmr is not as meaningful as people think it is. you escape a few games and suddenly you're put into matches with survivors who can't survive for 5 seconds in chase against all the 10,000 hour killers in the game. and if you lose a few of those games you suddenly get put into matches with the 10,000 hour survivors and low skill killers who struggle to get a single hook all game. this is the mmr system and it's a joke honestly.
further, your rating is literally only based on the performance of your last dozen or so games. your mmr is therefore not mysterious at all.

Source? I had no idea.

Maybe that's why they won't make mmr visible

I like how they remove discussions but dont comment on popular discussions about real game issues like Ghoul

Let's be honest, MMR isn't a thing. This game favors queue times over all else. People just convinced themselves MMR was real because they needed an excuse for losing. "I lost because I was put in the wrong MMR".

How MMR works has actually been figured out at some point. There are several youtube videos about it and there were ways in the past to get your mmr that have since been patched out. So we know it exists at the very least.

Good question. A mod commented in that thread so I don't think there was anything wrong with it. Maybe people started to get heated and they closed it? I don't know who the OP was but if it was a newer account and they edited it then it will have been sent to be reviewed.

Don’t the mods usually add a comment and then close the thread rather than deleting it altogether? The fact that it was removed entirely is disturbing and continues a pattern of complete lack of transparency on the MMR/matchmaking issue. I guess they don’t want open discussion about what is IMO the biggest issue in the game.

yeah, real mmr matchmaking was scrapped because people like Dowsey had 2 hour wait on Twins.
I feel like people have forgotten that survivor games uses to take 10 minutes at night back in 2021-2022. id be fine waiting for quality matches

We saw the uproar and outcry over simply the PTB to limit tunneling and how outage people got.
I think that they understand at some level that those reactions wouldn't even hold a candle to the reaction people would have to revealing MMR to players.
Because revealing to people who think they're "Max MMR" and "struggling because the game is broken" that, "sorry, you're actually silver fighting like crazy to break into gold while the deck is actively stacked in your favor" would actually cause people to melt down and quit.
