MMR isn't helping whatsoever.

My killer games are still against 4 man sweatlords running full meta and powerful items/addons, which is nothing different.
My survivor matches are still me carrying the entire team, having to get all the saves because nobody is going for them, having to do all the gens because nobody is doing them, getting chased, almost certainly always being 1 hooked at the end, survivors going down in less than 20 second chase, running weird goofy builds and generally just wandering the map aimlessly or hiding at the mere sound of a terror radius. Meanwhile the killer is quite competent and running full meta builds/killer which makes me wonder why the Killer isn't a potato like my teammates are.

My solo survivor matches have been nice. Every teammate has been useful so far. I can't speak for killer because I really don't feel like dealing with sweaty teams, so I haven't played killer. If you are a decent killer you probably have decently high MMR. That means you are going to get better survivors. Decent survivor players are going to be more of a challenge do to well against.
Same here, all day using 1 killer I'm not even that good with, but the survivors are consistently top tier. Tight looping, pinpoint flashlights, meta builds and blazing gens. Apparently there's not enough equivalent killers to keep these survivors out of my lobbies.
I had the for the people/soul guard squad earlier today. First time encountering this kind of team and end game did not go well, as soon as I downed someone they were picked straight back up when I was in the cooldown of my attack.
It was awful.
Same here. Legit can't play solo survivor without getting an insanely sweaty killer with bad team mates. I can't play killer anymore because I put up against 4-man SWFs consistently all running the exact same builds. It is pretty ridiculous and unfun.
DBD isn't competitive so not sure why there is a ranking system outside of incoming new players anyway.
I actually can't take this anymore. This has possibly been the worst experience I've had in DBD, ever.
Every single match is a Blight, Spirit, Nurse or Huntress running ruin/undying/pop/x with skins (sign of investment in game) powerful addons and clearly good at the game, all my team mates are shockingly bad. For instance I have over 1000 hours in the game, my last 3 team mates had LESS THAN 100. They were BRAND NEW to the game. They even admitted so, one of them claimed "I haven't played in around 6 months" and the rest only played "once in awhile over the years". The killer had over 2000 hours. This makes absolutely no sense.
Why am I getting paired against a top tier killer player but my team mates are practically brand new to the game? What kind of crappy game quality is this?
same for me as a killer.. i get these sweaty survivor who chose there small map they need to be easy for them gens rush the hell out of me .. always there to flashlight save or heal themself to come back and body block.. this game is ( not competitive ... then WHY the HELL you put MMR .. i rather wait longer for a match and have a good game and not sweat all night and going against these show off survivor.. where the fun to be hardcore all night... i almost want to delete this game for mental health
I managed to play only 1 game as Survivor. We got Shape with ward for addons and he was playing Infinite Tier 3 with slug build (Knockout, Infec. Fr., etc.) and the game lasted 7 min and then he just left us on the ground. Fun stuff.
I am scared to try Killer lol.
I went from needing survivors to stand still at the exit gates to do my Nurse daily to 4 man slugging them. It helped, A LOT.
I had really good time yesterday leveling my Pinboy. I had first really easy matches that were relaxed and i had time to practise and slowly as i got better i got better survivors that gave me challenge.
If it had been the old system i wouldnt have had good time at all since i would have gotten loopers and 4 people with meta perks all the time. I'm really glad i can now practise killers i don't play without being scared i get dead harded and decisive striked all the time
You have to understand that as Killer, if you're having "really easy matches" it means the survivors you are playing against are having really hard matches. That's why asymmetrical games like this are a nightmare to balance. And this is exactly what I'm on about.
I'd like to think my survivors had good matches too. I didnt slug i didnt tunnel and i didnt camp. Everyone had 2 hooks on them and i think there was 1 gen left when i killed them. Also i had matches i didnt kill single person but i still had good time since again i had time to practise on those matches they didnt gen rush and i got some hooks in.
Only 1 match was like *old times* They gen rushed really fast and i got 1 hook in and everyone had dead hard and decisive strike.
I also played survivor yesterday. My matches were nice. i had easier ones and i had harder ones but overally i think i had the best time in weeks yesterday with both sides.
My matches today with SBMM
Killer matches @ Iri 1: Thana, Corrupt, Tinkerer used on every killer plus another perk depending on my mood. No Hex perks used.
Doctor (My main): 2k, 4ik, 4k - Only 1 gen left at both 4ks
Legion (2nd main): 3k, 3k, 2k
Pig (3rd main): 2k, 4k, 3k - 0 gens left at 4k - note 3k match had a Disconnect mid match
Blight (Only played twice before): 2k, 1k
Huntress (Prolly played 20 matches with her before): 2k, 4k, - 2 gens left at 4k
Nurse (Played MAYBE 5-6 matches before): 2k, 0k, 3k - 7 hooks on 0k - granted I made A LOT of mistakes and bad blinks
Survivor matches @ Iri 1: (All matches as solo survivor) - Lithe, Kindred, Inner Strength, Borrowed Time - Iri Map + Crystal Bead + Retardant Jelly
Cenobite: Dead at 2 gens, Dead at 0 gens, Escaped, Escaped, Found hatch after everyone sacrificed (No offering or key), Dead at 1 gen
Spirit: Escaped
Deathslinger: Escaped
Blight: Dead at 1 gen, Dead at 3 gens - personal note - I loathe going against Blight - my escape rate is much lower with him
Bubba: Escaped - this match was given to me after a suicide on hook and a DC
Nurse: Escaped - personal note - I love going against Nurse - my escape rate is significantly higher against Nurse
Wait times seemed the same as before for both survivor and killer.
sbmm wasn't even on yesterday (tuesday). sbmm wasn't activated until Wednesday morning 11am est.
Sounds like you were having pretty good matches on the old system...
Solo survivor. My matches have been as smooth as a moist gummy bear. I'm very much enjoying the game.
I am not from america so im sorry to tell i had good time with the new system. For me it was activated 6 pm wednesday and i started playing 6.10 pm :) I'm already living in thursday. It's shocking i know... not everyone lives in america. ;)
I live in europe so for me it was activated 6pm yesterday. So yes i did play on the new system.
For me tonight Survivor felt great with the exception of the Trapper game where my team 3 genned because they kept looping him to where I was trying to break the 3 gen. As killer three of the four pinhead matches were 4ks with 1-0 gens remaining and close/fun games. The other match was a 0k with 7 hooks and full meta builds but sbmm needs time to settle and you'll still probably get a couple outliers based on queue times and upticks in sbmm scores.
Ok makes sense, thanks for clarifying.
It has been so much worse for me since MMR, the game thinks I am some godly killer since it keeps throwing the sweatiest SWFs at me every single game. All day I've been getting destroyed and the groups have stayed the same...
Finally started seeing some low grade bronze survivors, in swf.
Trust the devs & mods when they say grades don't mean much in the matchmaking cause these players might have well been iridescent. Full meta builds and highly coordinated, if it wasn't for light born it'd been instant blinds at every pallet.
I'm glad it's not just me. I honestly think SBMM is going to ruin the game for a lot of people if there is no way to indicate to the system "I do not want to be placed in matches where everyone is sweaty and competitive". Maybe the issue is just that it thinks I'm a top-tier survivor or something idk, but I do not have fun AT ALL playing against sweaty rank 1 killer mains. Even if it ends up being true that I'm good enough to be matched with them sometimes...I don't want it. I'll just quit playing if most of my games end up like that.
Grades have absolutely nothing to do with the MMR system. Grades are ONLY for End of Season Rewards. Nothing else. MMR is completely hidden from everyone.
A lot of players have a high rating due to the old matchmaking, most people have been killing or escaping every match so your stats have significantly increased for SBMM.
Right now your rating is constantly adjusted so keep playing, you will end up in a similar skill level match...
(or super low rating)
I mean, that is just flashlights being broken. Lol... Low mmr people can still blind off a stun... Probably.
Praise be to Lightborn, amen.
Guys..SBBM has been out for a day now... give it some time.
MMR Systems don't get implemented and just magically go BRRTT and every game is balanced from the get go.
MMR needs to adjust itself over a decent amount of games.
I'd say give it about 50 games and you should usually start to see an effect and get even better over time.
That's how it should work at least, we'll see if it does.
This.
It's less than 24 hours old, wait until the MMR actually starts to move people.
Exactly, MMR systems always work like that but just like always, player are slow to understand, quick to complain.
Furthermore, the player that complain that their matches are too hard may be the one that got carried in by other in the old system, so even if they played casually they are what we could call "boosted player" and will need just like you said quite a few match to realign their MMR with their actual skill level.
This is the same logic as nearly every new killer receving a nerf or buff thread after the first day in the ptb.
First 8 matches with pinhead....not one kill. Like how many games does it need to know that I'm not that good with this guy? Every survivor group I get has Iron Will, Dead Hard, Unbreakable, etc. It feels like with this new matchmaking it is not giving us separate MMR for our killers.
"My survivor matches are still me carrying the entire team,"
Do people really expect their mmr to be super high on literal day 1.
The system has been tracking our MMR for a long time now
