broken matchmaking

Got 400hours in dbd, stopped playing for a year or so and started back for a month.
got in a match with level 100 oni and in 5 mins all 4 got hooked, zero gens done.

Amazing matchmaking

Prestige represents playtime, not skill. Zero gens done mean that your teammates weren't focused on winning...

Also you havent played in a month... MMR resets monthly, new players come and go which will dilute the system. MMR is a very loose science people expect way too much from it. Also the longer it goes the quicker it will just jam you into a game because the overwhelming majority of people would rather play a match before 5 minutes of waiting rather then wait for what is perceived to be more fair/better matches.

These systems aren't without flaws but you can't expect them to give you a good match consistently. Its just doing the best it can given a very large number of variables.

MMR hasn't reset monthly since the old ranking system. What resets monthly is your grade, which has nothing to do with MMR or who you're matched against.
