DBD's matchmaking system is crap

[∆ Night Owl ♋]

I have just started playing killer, currently rank 18. Guess what, 30mins ago i finished 2 matches, both with rank 1s and 2s. TWO TIMES IN ONE BLOODY ROW.

I dont even understand the algorithms anymore. Like what triggered it? Was it a coincidence? Twice in a row? Im afraid of playing a 3rd match. Playing killer against top 3 rank survivors make me fear them more than I ever should.

Ranks dont mean anything now

[ArtyPortwain]

New matchmaking system is based on a local MMR. Ranks do not mean anything now. The game calculates your skill level on certain killers and gets you survivors based on how good you play certain character.
If you're playing better on Hag for example you'll get better survivors against you when you'll pick her. Otherwise if you'll take the killer you play less or don't usually main you'll get average survivor players in lobbies. Same goes on the other side. If you usually suck against spirit or nurse the game will give you a bit less skilled spirit or nurse than you played before until you will increase your skill level against her.

The only thing is that we cannot see our MMR like in most competetive online games.

Hidden MMR is bs. Change my mind.
How do you want to improve your MMR or know that you are some certain skill/group if you can't see it.

Another attempt to hide the broken MM system and go "Yeah, we fixed it" with some random excuse.

Yeah! The game decides to dial the difficulty notch up 180 degrees without warning and its leaves you wondering how good can you be on 3 perks. I understand learning is part of the experience but its very frustrating to be matched up against seasoned veterans while you are just a budding potato ._.

What does the algorithm base "skill" on? Pips or kills/escapes?

Nobody knows, since it's not shown to us, and the devs refuse to say.

[Mochan]

Ah well. I am assuming it's escapes, because I keep getting low rank killers and I suck and keep getting killed while pipping.

survivor1: rank 15 play time 1k hrs
sw2: rank 16 play time 75 hrs
sw3 rank 16 play time just 5 hrs
sw4 rank 16 play time 450


killer's rank 1 play time 4500 hrs and legendary pro nurse

:)

I agree with this to some extent. Without knowing how well you stand, how do you know if you're getting better or worse? Intuition? The game is finnicky enough as it is.

I agree that hidden MMR is BS but meta gaming MMR doesn't make you inherently better at the game. It just makes you better at ranking up.

Edit: which is pointless because apparently your mmr and your rank are not entangled currently.

This MMR is a big steaming pile of BS, I ahve 1,5h in game and got up against people with few k hours, wtf
