I swear I'm going to uninstall if this is not fixed soon

They’re aware of this issue, they already said they’ll work on it after their holiday vacations.
There are literally dozens of almost identical threads about this now, why make another way? Your situation is not any more dire or unique than another.

You can't tell when THAT survivor DC-ed

With a 6-rank hard limit (assuming the best ranked survivor) queue times, for survivors, would explode.
Also 6 ranks is too wide anyway. Rank 11 vs rank 5 can be a big difference..

They didn’t lie, the matchmaking is bugged, and they have said they will get to it free winter break.

You played Nurse, your loss was already written on stone lol

I would agree if such a problem wasn't so consistent.

Just don't play nurse. If you are fighting good survivors, a bad nurse is the worst killer in the game. I could 5 gen chase a bad nurse very easily, because you don't need pallets, and nurse doesn't get a big advantage out of bloodlust. If the survivor knows what they are doing, and the nurse isn't good enough to catch them in 3 or 4 blinks, then it's going to be way too long before the nurse catches up.
As bad as it is, this is the matchmaking right now, and it's going to be a few weeks to a few months before it gets fixed. Every match is going to be like this, so play a character that doesn't care about rank and skill as much.
Complaining on the forums does nothing though, the devs don't take stock in what is said here, they already know the problem, and said they were planning on fixing it, and if you don't want criticism, you'd be better off not posting.

Listen its not just the fact they were nurse. I was watching a streamer who i believe was red rank 3 and they dominated a pig.
End game screen so pi was with 14 or 12 i cant remember facing 3 red and a purple. I. What universe is that remotely even fair to the killer. I legitimately felt bad

Its not like threatening to uninstall would make anybody sweat more.
tho the matchmaking is bad and I can agree it needs a fix asap

Om my ######### god this happens to me every game. I'm rank 12 killer and keep on going against low purple/ high red ranks and they abuse there power. Occasionally I get one low rank who did nothing, dcd and then they all talk trash
1 -
Several hours is frustrating, but in the end its just hour, not days or weeks. I think you're overreacting
0 -
I'm only a rank 13 killer myself, use to play a lot of survivor which helped me understand their mind set a bit more. Not saying get good but playing both sides helps you understand things to win as either side. Could try that to help your odds?

You take your own mediocre lost noob this is a serious problem
0 -
If you really think that you can't win just because your rank is a certain color, then you lost before it ever began.

Do it u wont

well, sadly, matchmaking is infamously broken since the new rank reset and the change in the swf matchmaking
so i guess dont play nurse for now

Is this bait post?

They are on vacation. Wait few days. Don't sweat it. Try to improve and don't care much.
1 -
Yeah, I don't run Nurses calling, you probably tunnel and camp, while the rest of the team finishes of gens. Get a better strategy. Survivors that get tunneled always seem to DC, and as a survivor I'm constantly blocking or taking a hit because sweaty killers won't even chase me until I'm injured

You think that experience doesnt matter in this game? Is that what you are saying?
Im in red ranks too but that doesnt mean I automatically think everyone is as good as me. Also you are absolutely ignoring the main topic trying to divert the conversation. Its about ######### matchmaking, not whether or not they lost. It IS fustrating when you are a lower ranks and you play against red ranks. I have been there so I understand.
7 -
You are doing nothing but trying to aggrivate people and divert attention from the actual topic, how about staying ON topic.

I'm usually float around ranks 10 and 11 as killer because I don't really go try hard and usually just 2 hook or do daily's. But I can tell when someone is red ranks and usually kill them as they are usually kinda toxic. I'm guessing the 2 red ranks were SWF which made it worse because just being red ranks isn't that big of a deal with killers typically having the advantage. I have noticed that if I don't bring ruin gens are done really fast against obvious SWF teams? Like ridiculous fast so ruin is almost a must and both the red ranks brought small game otherwise the match would have been different and this would never be posted to begin with, lol.

"How can you expect to get good at the game if you're only comfortable vs-ing green ranks?"
It's more like "being comfortable vs-ing players you are intended to be matched up against instead of people out of your league."

Aside from people arguing with you because you played nurse and used meta, i agree with you. The matchmaking with ranking is #########. I rarely play swf anymore and when i do, its just my really Good friend and no one else. I hate as a solo player when im matched with a lot of low ranks and they literally ruin the game for me. They get me killed because they don't know what working together means. Its also really annoying when i play killer and I'm stomping a bunch of potatoes. Im always in purple ranks as survivor/killer because i dont play enough to get to red ranks. So i stay around rank 5-6. Also doing some challenges hold me back from ranking up. I also can't stand people being carried to rank 1 by their friends and constant hatch escapes because they urban evaded the entire time. I hate seeing rank 1s who are just as bad as the rank 15s.

Nurse with meta perks and some quality add ons? I think this is just the day by day case of “git gud”.
1 -
Red n purple n brown vs a green?
0 -
I don't care much about OP; What I do care about is a Rank 19 going against a significantly higher rank. This isn't a "git gud" moment for them. It's a "Oh boy, I died 8 seconds into a chase". How do you get better at a game you just started playing when you instantly get stomped by a higher skilled player (especially one of the higher tier killers). It may be OPs fault he lost, but it's not the rank 19's fault he got dealt a ######### hand. A better Matchmaking is still needed, this one is shittier than before Dedicated Servers came out.

He's using Ruin on the killer that is literally at the bottom of the charts in terms of actual performance.
DAMN HIM!

is that why so many people can’t reach red ranks after hours of play? I call bullshit

Nurse is not a good killer anymore according to every available metric and feedback from many Nurse players. Her only asset is 1v1. Her tracking, mobility, and map presence are horrendous. The only people who still maintain that she's a top tier killer seem to be survivors, killers who don't actually play Nurse, or a minority of Nurse players. Yes, if you're a god tier Nurse you'll do just fine, but why is Nurse the only killer where we rate them based on the top performance level? I had a few games yesterday as Hag where survivors didn't complete 2 gens without Ruin, but I won't argue that Hag is S tier.

If I were a newer player I would be upset too.
@Shenochek tough it out man. My first game was against a team of Claudette's with flashlights while I was playing Wraith. I was a baby Rank 20 and I got spammed with hatemail because I killed the one lower ranked player. You gotta tough it out, this should be fixed when the Devs come back to the office, until then, don't take the game too seriously.

Lol has a working matchmaking
DotA has a working matchmaking
Jesus, even sports have different brackets dividing teams by skill level.
Only entitled pandered dickheads (by the devs) surv mains would claim a 9 skill level gap is ok.
Imagine a CHALLENEGER player in Lol stomping some bronzes and telling them to get gud.
But I guess is ok. According to devs, only survivors are supposed to have fun.

I know a very, very simple solution to this. As killer, and this applies to everyone who mains killer, (i do this myself being a killer main). You CAN tell when someone is knew, someone is weak, someone can't run, loop, mind game, or know the maps well. Those are your low ranks, give them a fun chace, don't use red rank skills to merc a rank 19 in a 15 second chase, pretend you mess up here and there give them a feel of the game, hit them then run. Still obviously hook them, but you know leave them down on the ground a time or two, give them some second chances
And when you can tell it's a higher rank, be a high rank killer give him your chases, down him, hook him just like if you were playing a 4 man red rank team.
Do that, and you will decrease the amount of DC's, and frankly you'll enjoy the matches a lot more as you're not ending certain chases within seconds and you're still getting satisfaction in chasing the higher ranks.
Now this doesn't fix the issue, but as a community of people we're capable of actually making the game enjoyable for everyone. Even survs should do this to obviously low ranked killers. "Mess up" a mind game here and there, let em hit you hook you, so on so forth. If you feel like being real nice let him get you as a final hook so he gets a kill or two if he hadn't gotten any already.

Honestly, this is all counter-productive to the point.
While there are many compelling arguments to the point, unfortunately most are either hidden behind the "git gud" excuse or looked at by OP as such.
What needs to be addressed is that, regardless if they fix how ranks are match made, ultimately it still won't matter because it will still happen so that friends with different ranks may play together.
I hate to say it, but OP needs to understand that most of what ails them can't really be changed.

I mean, I just started a PC account yesterday (I've been on ps4 for a year), and the first killer I faced was a rank 15 leather face with a maxed out BP and with over 1k hours in the game. It was my first game so theres no way the algorithm could calculate my skill and place me with that. On ps4 I go against red rank killers as a rank 11 survivor but get rank 3-7 survivors as a rank 12 killer.
What I'm getting at is that matchmaking does just seem broken rn. In every rank for both killers and survivors. It's making it difficult to get my account started up.
1 -
It’s been awful lately. Not just the ranking system, but the lobby wait times and overall toxic way the killers are playing.
I chalk it up to a lot of stupid teens being off school for holidays and pushing their angst into the game. It’s never been this bad.
0 -
You're really not the brightest guy. This is unfair, for a new player. A NEW PLAYER can use ruin on Nurse if they so please, actually...wait a minute. ANYONE CAN.
6 -
Wait.. so the New Years Skins didn't fix your problem? Weird. That usually works.

LOL I used to being this up, then all the brilliant minds in here remind me separate teams fix bugs and one does cosmetics.
Seemingly the cosmetic team had triple the members though

Broskis. Bro-cha-chos. The man is saying he doesn't like dealing with DCs and people being absolute buttholes to him back to back to back, with the root problem being matchmaking and it's state of being a dumpster fire. What perks the dude has is incredibly irrelevant, and his skill level is plain to see and part of the issue of being put against red rank survivors. Toxic people should really start getting the axe more for talking ######### as much as they do.
5 -
Same, once I hit green ranks I find myself going against red ranks. Makes no sense, so I’m just avoiding killer until they fix matchmaking.

Not a PC player but this "end game chat" can't you turn that off? On Xbox there is no such chat and I can disable messages function meaning I will never get a single toxic message from anyone. Switch to console and that problem is gone. The DC part well they need to start handing out bans that hurt to solve that problem.
