Yep, it starts regressing all of the gens as if you had kicked them. Higher ranks regress them faster than normal is all.

Well it might be, if we give it time now to gather the data. Only one way to find out!

I can't tell you exactly what happened, as I am obviously not on the dev team :P But this is such a huge overhaul that we should expect things to be a bit chaotic for a few weeks.

A post from a mod I saw said the data they gathered wasn't as good as they hoped, so most players are still effectively at 0.

I think this is a separate, but related, problem honestly. Assuming the new system stabilizes and performs as its intended (Which I'm hoping it will), this will become much less common, but will still be possible. An MMR system is designed so this will happen, but should be decently rare. However with a game like DBD,…

Honestly I think that "10 games" shouldn't have been said at all. That sounds to me like the ideal, when the whole system is working, not when the system is getting up and running. I understand there's a lot of frustration with playing with newer players, I get it. If it continues like this it absolutely needs to be…

The system needs some time to get everyone's baseline, so this is to be expected for the time being. Give it more than two days and (hopefully) this will stop happening. This is to be expected for a little while.

Folks you need to give this more time than 2 days. Yes, it is possible the system isn't working properly, but we do not have the data yet to show that. It's very possible there's any number of things going on, from negative report bias (Which makes sense, as it isn't fun to be in matches like those), to the fact that there…

They did that, but they said the data wasn't perfect, and only did so much. This honestly was to be expected when implementing a new system this massive, there was always going to be growing pains. Secondly they are not trying to break down what works right, at least not in this case. People have been complaining about…

That's not how its going to be forever. Imagine in the old system if the entire player base got reset to Rank 20. Things would be pretty similar to how they are right now. That's basically what's happened. But just like in that scenario, if we give it enough time, the really good players will start to build up a higher MMR…

Yep I was in the same thread. They were not 100% sure, though they believed that. It doesn't mean we will have no information, just not an explicit score. They could give us absolutely nothing, and if that's the case I don't love that, but we don't know anything for sure right now.

From what I've seen they're going to give us more information "soon". However be aware I've also seen in the same discussions that they likely will not give us "the math". I personally was of the same mind, but the reasoning not to is that if everyone knows exactly how it work it becomes very easy to game the system. So…

It might not be that way forever. They rushed this out without making a UI system or changing ranks because (in their mind) the actual matchmaking is more important. Now, I have not heard for sure how they are going to display the ranks to players, or if they will at all. I have heard that they are giving us more…

No worries! Good luck in your games, hope you have fun.

Then don't play for a bit. This whole time should honestly be considered sort of like a PTB. Being a new player and going against experienced ones sucks, I get it. I've been there. If you're not having fun, take a break and come back later. This is a massive overhaul, it's going to be a bit chaotic for a while.

It happened literally yesterday, so things are a bit chaotic right now. It will take time for it to stabilize. There is currently no way to check your skill level, we're going to be getting more information soon about how the system works. They wanted to get the fixes out for the matchmaking system out quickly, so new UI…

Folks, be patient. It will take some time for the system to stabilize, at least a week is my guess, maybe more depending on how much people play. Struggle through for the time being, see what happens. It's been out for a day and a half, this is going to take some time. If you haven't played at least 10 games, start with…

This is a new system, and it takes about 10 games (at least, according to a forum admin) for the algorithm to correctly determine a players place. It's only been out for a day and a half, be patient, it will likely be at least a week or two for things to properly stabilize.

This will not be forever. This is just like that while the rank 1 killer gets an actually accurate MMR. Imagine it like everyone's rank basically got reset back to the beginning. I believe that's basically what's happening right now. It will right itself if people give it some time. An admin said in another thread it takes…

Cool awesome. Thanks for the quick response! Read this whole thread. It takes at least 10 games for the algorithm to stabilize, and I honestly wouldn't expect everything to be fully stable for at least a week, maybe longer. If you're new, this might be a rough time for you, and you might want to wait a week or two for this…

@MandyTalk Do you know if they planning on ever giving any info on how the MMR works? I had made the assumption they'd give at least a little data once it had been out for a bit, but that could've been a faulty assumption. I personally would like a general idea at how well I'm doing, though I do understand why it would be…

I get that, but given everything I've seen I'm not sure how much they've actually done honestly, and I'm not sure how much the people who are complaining played during that time, because I can't be for obvious reasons. They've put out so little information on the new system its hard to judge any of this, which is why we…

They've said they're working on a fix, but no ETA as of now. EDIT: Spelling mistake

It's definitely not perfect yet, but similar things to this need to be seen by more people. You can't just play less than a half dozen games and expect your ranking to be correct immediately, it takes time for these kind of systems to work out where you belong. You basically have to imagine that everyone got reset to rank…

That seems to be a reasonable suggestion. I've seen a lot of people complaining about the new system without sufficient data to really give any conclusions, so I'd really like the devs to release some information on exactly how the new system works as well. There's been enough people seeing completely new players in…

I don't mean to try and invalidate your experience, because if that's your experience, it is what it is. But many, many people have been complaining about the current matchmaking system for years. Maybe give it more than a day before completely condemning the new system before they've even given us any details on how it…

It's hard to know from our side, they've told us so little about what exactly is being tracked, it's very hard to predict exactly how much time we'll need. I'd give it at least a week, personally, I'm going to give it a few before I get worried. They're not likely to get it right on the first try anyway. Hmmm that's…

First of all, the devs made a good point that rank does not necessarily corallate with skill. I'm very good but rarely get above rank 12 because I don't play that often. Someone who is average can get to a very high rank just by playing a lot. It was never an effective matchmaking mechanic, and they have specifically said…

Anything other than the current system would be good, this one makes my wrist hurt very badly. I switched it to the mouse wheel, which is certainly better, but it's still not fun.

I mean. It's been out for less than a day. Give it time to both gather enough data and so you have enough data to see if that's accurate or just bad luck.

My guess is they plan to at some point. They haven't even released the criteria, what the rating is based off of. They said they were rushing this out in order to fix the matchmaking as soon as possible. I assumed that meant there would be aspects that would be sub optimal because of this. Obviously, that's true. I'd give…

Another thing that I'm not sure if it's been mentioned, but I can no longer see my hex totems unless I'm really close to them. Given that this rift is all about the Hag and her hex totems... It's pretty bad. I'm normally one of the people calling for patience, but if this doesn't get fixed, and I mean fully fixed, soon,…

So. The issue here is actually a much deeper issue that I've been thinking about for awhile. And honestly, I don't really know if its fixable anymore. This game base concept has some pretty big issues. This is coming from someone who loves the base concept, by the way. It is built as both a horror game and a competitive…

Most of you are talking about vastly different issues than the change that is actually being purposed. Cosmetics and survivor say nothing about player skill, you could be full prestige 3 and have never played the character, or be default skin of a survivor, and be the most skilled player in the game. The item is the only…

I had this same thing happen to me, it said match server unavailable. My friend in SWF was not disconnected. Its only happened to me once so far.
