    I typically just assume SWF when it happens to a random survivor. Ive gotten plenty of THESE this morning though...

    That looks like swf as they will join a lobby with a high rank team mate which it matches them off. You are within 6 ranks of the highest ranked player and the lower ranked ones could be playing with the rank 4 or 7.

    @LordGlint

    That match looks to be one of the cases the matchmaking isn't working as intended. I'd personally report that matchmaking issue for the devs to look at 😉.

    The one in the OP would likely be a SWF. Everyone else in the lobby is within 6 ranks of the killer, and if the rank 18 is playing with someone else that's a higher rank, the higher ranked player is used for matchmaking.

    As for @LordGlint's screenshot, we recently identified an issue that could cause that to happen. I can say for sure if that's the same reason why this happened without checking, but we're looking into it.

    Had back to back rank 20 killers. Its rough, and hopefully the issue is solved soon. Games like the one in the screenshot, I just assume someone is memeing around, until I realize...no...they legit dont know the controls yet.

    Idk why swf lobby isn't just averaged, then a modifier applied to the average rank per member of the party...

    Could even be simple to start off... Ie:

    3 person SWF.. rank 18, 13, 9 this total averages to 13.3333 round down to 13 (always round down)

    Then since there is 3 member of SWF subtract 1 rank per person above 1... So in this case subtract 2 from 13 making the matchmaking rank 11.

    This seems like a fair system which give the survivors a disadvantage for playing SWF and doesn't completely ruin the game for solo queues

    Yesterday I was queuing up with a friend of mine, we we're both at the time rank 7. We got matched with rank 15-14's several matches in a row and the killer was also rank 15-14. So clearly the match making is still not working as intended.

    I've been having games as solo survivor as rank 10 getting matched with rank 18s and 15s. I've tried playing with them but there are only so many games I can handle when I get chased for five minutes then die on first hook with 5 gens left.

    The devs said they would address SWF matchmaking, yet here we are.
