Matchmaking / PS4
I've noticed since the recent update to matchmaking (specifically PS4) the wait times have dramatically risen again. I know there needs to be a better "Quality vs Quantity" balance on this so just documenting my experience at the moment which is pushing players I know away from the game again. Main issue is when we play as a 4 - me and my friend tend to be red rank and our partners are generally about level 16. This has brought every game where the killer is too strong for our partners to play against and also the time spent waiting for a game has tripled.
Thanks for reading

@NoOneImportant I find killer queues even longer than survivor ones, I think maybe when they look at matchmaking it needs to be a bit more fluid, changing by platform and current players possibly. (or just get cross play working)

You are aware that they changed SWF to match against the highest ranked players right?

Did you all restart the game? They did say that if theres a change in queue time to restart it..

Same I play on ps4 and am red rank I literally stopped playing the past couple of days cuz it would take 30 minutes to find a game and the killer would either lobby dodge or I would get a killer with 600 ping

Not enough Red Rank killers it seems, lobbies on PS4 in Red rank are about a 5-10 minute wait now.

I am fully aware of this Martin, that was the thing behind my initial post. I must not of made myself very clear but being this strict creates a bit of a topsy turvy game if your playing with people who arnt very good at the game. So I think the matchmaking needs to be relaxed a little, not too much, just to add a bit of wriggle room.

Isn't that what KYF is for, if you know it's going to match low rank players against high rank killers why would you put them through it.

So if me and my friend want to play with our partners we have to play KYF? We shouldn't choose to play the part of the game that offers things like bloodpoints etc? We don't put them through it tbh , me and my mate play alone and they play alone, but its ######### that we cant play together in the base game without having to resort to 1v3 KYF ..so

There's nothing to stop you playing SWF with them, they just have to expect to be facing higher tier killers then they're use to. If a handful of survivors didn't exploit the old way to bully low rank/new killers they wouldn't of had to change it.

@martin27 Oh I know it was abused, that's why I don't want it back to the original settings, however the current settings are so strict it makes game waiting times ridiculous. #loosensomeofthestringsandletmatchmakingbreath
