This was on PS4... we destroyed the poor Pig, he didn’t even put a single person on hook, I felt really bad. How can this happen?

    He was a bad player? He faced someone higher than his skill level?

    This is why ranks don't matter. You're still going to be playing against new players.

    I understand, but how can matchmaking allow a rank 20 to play against ranks 2-3? And this wasn’t a Kill Your Friends... :/

    You just did gens if you were chased enough you would get more points so you didn't really destroyed anything.

    Because matchmaking sucks in this game.

    I think he was asking why four rank 2s got matched with a rank 20 killer. Matchmaking has been wonky recently.

    The matchmaking currently sticks you into a queue and tries to find a good match. If it can't find a good match after a certain amount of time, it'll gradually lower it's standards until you do get a match (better to play somebody than sitting there waiting forever). In this case, the killer likely had a long queue since they're rank 20 and the game would have tried to pair them with other rank 20 players, which is a fairly limited pool since 20-15 is reserved for new players.

    There's a new matchmaking system on the way and it should help with that. It will hopefully fix the longer queue times so it doesn't get to the point where it gives you whatever it can get.
    Thanks for the answer! Hopefully that’ll be fixed soon.

    I honestly don’t know... I didn’t see her the whole game and nobody got hooked. We just did gens and escaped, she downed two people near the exit gate but they managed to escape.
