Please Hear me out Devs !
Hello , and Thank you for taking the time to read this .
First and foremost I understand that the game is still not in its final state yet and you are still experimenting with it to come up with the best to solve every issue . So I'll give my opinion on what should be done to fix some of the major and most annoying problems with the game .
1. Matchmaking on Console .
I Realize that before in the previous updates Rank restrictions were Removed allowing players from different ranks to be matched up together and it did improve the queue times significantly however it can be so overwhelming to new players due to Rank disparity and being placed with more experienced players in the game.
So to fix this to temporarily .
○ include a filter to Remove Region Lock .
So that players who want to sacrifice ping for faster queue times can have the option. Without splitting the player base . Those who choose not to enable the filter can still find a match within the current time .
For me Solo Wait times now on PS4 now are 5-10 minutes , excluding lobby dodging and having to restart all over again .
SWF can be 15-20 minutes or less .
As For Rank Disparity I have two solutions on mind .
1 . Including a Filter to allow the player either to choose to be matched with different Ranks or not.
2. Splitting Ranks in two groups theoretically like Rank 20-15 ( Rookie level) and they won't be matched with others , Rank 15 onwards the Player can be matched with other survivors and killers from their level up to Rank 1 . ( I know you must've already thought of this but do not want to split the playerbase but believe me just a few levels can't be as bad as the current situation )
Conclusion .
I got these from my personal experience with the game and asking friends . Regarding these issues .
P.S keep the discussion short adding more solutions / ideas only if you want hopefully the coming days will see a better brighter future to the game and community whole .
Cheers .

I agree with you, console queues are ridiculous.
And I've never played a game that makes it to difficult to play with your friends, you have to re-invite, 20 minute queue times.
What is going on?

Guys they should add Bots in the game to fasten the queue time. Maybe two bots or one bots which will regularly do all the same stuff the survivors do in the trial. This is to stop the queue time. This is my opinion.

as much as that would fix the queue time problem it's a player vs player game the bots would most likely suck and it would be more like a 3 player or 2 player lobby.

Where are you from, if you don't mind to answer that? Wait times are fine for me on PS4 even if I play quite late, my only issue is that I get dodged a lot, but I can't blame the game for that. Also if you play solo survivor try to queue through the swf lobby heard that this helps if you have long waiting times as a solo player.
Also I would be okay with your idea if I can disable to get queued with low ranks survivors on my end too.
