Why would anyone rather sit in a lobby for hours than play against or with random ranks?
Ok having bad teammates is bad, being new killer and going against experienced survivors can be hell but is waiting for hours better alternative?
And even when you wait for so long you still get people who dodge, dc or play badly no matter which rank they are. So tell me people who made an outrage when they removed matchmaking, why?
I love this game and want to play it but I am lucky if I play two games tops per day because of the lobby times on ps4. I don't get you people. Is winning more important than playing the game?

I think there's confusion going on here; we've never "removed" matchmaking. The filters for the matchmaking gradually increase and accept a large range of ranks the longer you wait. It ensures that you get a match eventually rather than waiting hours for the perfect match. This has been a feature for a long time and has not changed recently.

No, I'd like to have game no matter against or with whom. Higher ranks/lower ranks, experienced or not. If I'd like to watch Netflix or browse forums I'd did it, I dont need background lobby for that.

Thanks for clearing it up. Even that was better than this imo. I had really good time then so at least I got to play a little bit more.

I keep refreshing the search cause otherwise i end up facing new killers. For whatever reason anything more than 5min and I get red rank teammates and a 18-20 killer, just makes the matches boring.

2 games a day? I took this as a joke post at that point.
The lobbies aren't perfect but no where near that bad.

I'd rather wait and get matched appropriately. Nothing worse than facing newbie survivors. I'd rather not destroy the game for them. We need to keep new people, not discourage them.

I'd sit in a lobby longer if I could tick a box that gave me the ability to avoid all Legions.

"Is winning more important than playing the game?"
To like 80% of players, YES. Toxicity exacerbates every issue to its breaking point, even in the lobbies.

2-3 games an hour was pretty realistic a few weeks ago.
There was one time my lobby was stuck at 3 people for like twenty minutes too.

I'd also prefer to get a match within a minute no matter which rank, instead of waiting 5 minutes to get matched with players of a similiar rank.

On console the lobby wait times were horrible, a couple of months ago, over 4 hours we got into 3 games. G1 was short and sweet, G2 was a against a Dr, 2 survivors insta DC as soon as someone screamed. And G3 was against a face camping Wraith who one hooked all 4 survivors.
All of a sudden, Camp Fire simulator seemed pretty good lol, maybe we can roast marshmallows and have a sing song before our game starts? @Peanits

All the lobby issues could be solved by cross platform play, imagine the player base being all in one place. Console players can get butchered by pc players and mobile players can get hunted by all 😂

I'd like some feedback on the screen so I know whether the game is starting to look further afield to match with someone. Personally I would rather be bullied by red rank swf than face nobody at all.
@Tensor - Why do you want to avoid the most useless killer in the game? I don't even run away from Legion trying to give me papercuts.
