Please for the love of god look at matchmaking!

On what planet is this fair? 4-man SWF (they were ridiculously coordinated) complete with 2 instaheals 🙁 It was on god loop macmillan too which topped it off 😂 EVERY chase was straight to the center building loop and then another would appear & body block the window for the first to escape. Completely unfun.

    My friends and I are a mix of red and purple ranks, and we were constantly getting rank 17-20 killers last night. We felt so bad. We were messaging them and apologizing afterward. Felt like bullies getting these newbie killers with only two or three tier 1 perks on them.

    and people wonder why we use E mories when we think it is a SWF, and why if a killer thinks the lobby is SWF they either dodge or put on the heavy sweat addons

    Man, I'm like a solo rank 15 survivor, I don't bully (or play well), and I still feel bad when I win against a newbie killer. I should really learn that if I'm doing well the killer must be new, but sometimes I'm just so happy I'm not dead that I'm not thinking straight, ya know?

    Matchmaking is so borked. If that team of reds + one green that went against you feel good about themselves, then there is something seriously wrong with them. I can't imagine they didn't set that up on purpose by having the green host the SWF team... ugh, that's messed up. I mean, I don't get it. It's not fun to go up against someone who's either way above or way below your skill level; it's boring for one side and miserable for the other.

    Every once in a while I'll see a survivor who realizes they just wrecked a completely unprepared killer and lets themselves die to EGC or something, but it's rare.

    Right?

    Red ranks have a lvl 15 host so they can bully weak killers but cry when the killer retaliates. Toxic af

    I'm around your survivor rank but a beginner killer. You'll be surprised how many experienced survivors get off on bullying new killer players. I don't expect to be matched with baby survivors all the time obviously or win against more experienced players but some people really go out of their way to show off their "skillz".

    When I play survivor against a player who's obviously new to that killer, I just get my job done and leave. Some players wait at the gates to "give the killer free hits" but I find even that is condescending most of the time.

    and im losing to average killers constantly because on average I am now getting paired with at LEAST two people rank 15-20 while at Rank TEN.

    I just played with a guy who I am sure was actually playing his very first match ever. I would start dodging but its so damn common I would be dodging all day long.

    I wish matchmaking was at least consistently broken.

    I have no issues with playing against red ranks, I can do fine against them. I was playing a few games with killers I rarely play, perkless and addonless, just for dailies. Rank 16 since I often don't bother anymore to kill anyone and want to give new players a good experience to show them the game is fun when played without camping and tunneling. Got matchmaking like the above, multiple times in a row.

    Then I said ok, done with dailies, my lucky day that I don't get beginners, now let's play a real game against good players. Picked my best killer, best perks, and got a bunch of rank 19's who gave up halfway through the match. Let them do the gens and go.

    Im not a bad killer & managed to sort of hold my own against them but the coordination coupled with the instas + borrowed didnt leave me with many options

    And of course no truly good team should be without their clicky flashlight DS teabagger 👌🏻

    That is absolutely obscene. I get some leeway will be needed some matches happen but come the hell on. It appears because the level 11 was a decent fit all their buddies were too? Be real nice to get a dev response on this, not holding my breath though.
