Is the MMR active without warning?
I've been playing with the Killers with whom I have the most ability for some time (Demo, Hag, Huntress, Spirit, Deathslinger...), and normally, Spirit included, it shows that I play against experienced Survivors, the problem is that today I played three games with the Wraith (which I haven't played for 2 years) because I wanted to test the buff they made... and god, I faced absurdly bad Survivors, not the typical ones that are Rank 1 and sometimes do stupid things, they were Survivors that really seemed like they had been played for 20 hours.
This makes me think that the MMR is active, because if when I play Killers that I frequent (and I think I am something good with them) I face decent Survivors and then a Killer that I haven't played in 2 years (not even 2 years ago I played it a lot) I face against Survivors who seem to have just bought the game...
It wasn't even the typical thing that his team had Rank 1 and then Low Ranks, no, they were all low Ranks:

MMR is not yet actively creating matches. It is still taking data in the background. We will let you know when it starts making matches! :)

Would love to hear from a dev that's working on the mmr system what the experience has been like. What's been the biggest hurdle? This systems been in the works for like a year and a half at this point so it would be interesting to hear a behind the scenes perspective on the tech issues

I hope so, I just played a fourth game and it's been more of the same, but hey, It will be that I have "good luck" (which isn't good luck either because against bad survivors I don't improve with the Killer and I barely get bloodpoints)...

Nah just you playing on server with not enough red rank players

That awkward moment when we find out that they haven't even started yet and are just saying they have to appease us😬

So they're like me and all my college finals?

And somehow I still maintain a 3.8gpa. (Humblebrag)

Sometimes I believe it as well, that MMR is active. But since the dev said it isn't, I guess it's not.

I wouldn't be surprised if it would be activated on a single server or for a random subset of players. The devs need to be able to test it and experiment with it somehow.
(That's how I would do it.)

Probably just a coincidence. This isn't even how MMR should work for DbD when it's on. Killer fundamentals carry over to each killer and it doesn't really matter what killer you play if you're good, you're gonna do well with that killer because the mechanical skill floor is so low. You should be getting roughly the same-skilled survivors with every killer, and on your main you get slightly more-skilled. If this isn't how it's gonna work then it's gonna be a disaster but I hope they've thought about how good players have actually become at this game for once.

"You should be getting roughly the same-skilled survivors with every killer, and on your main you get slightly more-skilled."
What nonsense is this? They're supposedly going to add the MMR on every Killer, right? So if I'm horrible with a certain Killer, am I still going to face good Survivors?
I don't see the point, I thought that if I was bad with a Killer (or had never played it), I would face low-level Survivors, which is what seems most logical to me, the problem with Ranks' system is that if I want to practice with a Killer and I constantly face against good Survivors, it's almost impossible to learn (and also the desire to learn it takes away), with the MMR I thought, and I think it's the most logical thing, that I would face Survivors of "low level "(I'm not referring to Survivors that have 20 hours of play either, but I don't see any reason to face one of 2k hours).

I know a dev answered already, but I'm with OP. It certainly *feels* like it's on. I'm getting absolute gamers when I play Nurse and my Nurse queues are noticeably longer than with other killers.

pretty sure mmr is always active,if they tell people when mmr is active then most killers will throw the game away to be matched with low rank survivors

"Always" I doubt it, but I'm pretty sure they will do tests without warning, because after all, warning and without warning you get different results, since, as you say, there are people who simply play badly to reduce their MMR or simply play differently.
I don't know, it just seems weird to me that coincidentally with the Wraith, which I haven't played for two years and barely played it then, I play against bad Survivors and when I play with the Killers that I'm best at, I face good Survivors or even SWF.

Yeah because Almo and all the other Devs and Mods who have responded to all the other threads like this are lying to us.....
Or maybe - you guys just need to put your hats on..... that seems more likely.

Better than believing everything, especially if it's from BHVR.

Eh. I'm willing to believe that they'd lie to us to maintain the integrity of an invisible test.
I'd be willing to lie to you for a whole lot less at stake.

Maybe they are aiming for the June 15th RE DLC release date.

Here's the thing, though: the devs are the only ones who can tell you for certain. Anything else is 100% speculative. If your starting point is "you can't trust what the devs say", then you are, in fact, saying that it's impossible to know.
I mean, why even ask if the only people who can tell you for sure are people whose word you don't believe in? If they say something that goes against your position, you'll assume they're lying and that you're right. If they support you, you'll assume that you're right. Either way, your opinion remains the same, because it's independent of what they say.

Because they will say "No" even if they are temporarily testing it or doing some A/B testing or experiment.
When they say "No" it just means that it was not officially activated.

The last temporary test had an announcement, with start and end dates and times and everything. Kinda blows your claim out of the water.
When they say "No" it just means that it was not officially activated.
Oddly enough, they'd also say "no" if it was, in fact, off.
Like I asked OP, if your starting position is that the people who can confirm/deny something are lying if they disagree with you, then why ask? You're set in your position, there's no way anyone can convince you you're wrong if you're just going to assume they're lying/wrong if they tell you something that goes against your position.

Devs will tell us if its on. They did the last time and it was a clear change to the match making.
Lets stop with the conspiracy theories.

No need to believe me.
Btw I also correctly predicted the details of the RE chapter.
0 -
Not for me, not that I notice because even when mmr was on, it wouldn't matter if a teammate was rank 18, they'd still play well. At least that was my experience.

So either you have an inside source, or you happened to correctly predict the chapter was going to have the most iconic characters in Resident Evil, like most people believed.

Your fundamental knowledge of DbD carries over to every killer you play, regardless of how much you play them. You should be getting similar-ish results with every killer if you're a good player, and slightly better results with the killer you main. If MMR started at a low score for a killer you don't play that would be terrible for the game and not a logical system at all. An example: Say you almost never play Wraith, but you're a good player and you play a lot of Trapper, Clown, whatever and do really well. You shouldn't be put against bad survivors as Wraith just because you don't play him much, because that's not fair. You'd stomp those survivors without even breaking a sweat because you're a good killer player in general and those skills carry over to every killer.

MMR will be killer-specific, though. It won't be completely reset since some skills do carry over, as you mentioned, but each killer will have their own MMR. Survivors won't because survivors are skins; the gameplay is identical for every one of them.

No, when we say no, it actually means no - we've always been completely upfront with the MMR test and have announced when they're active and we will continue to do that.

You and 117 other random posters.
And no - I don't believe you - I believe the Mods and Devs.

At the rate they're going, MMR for DbD should be active around the same time Overwatch 2 sees a release from Blizzard.
My 11-year-old should be in college by the time either happens.
