Idea to fix matchmaking, groups and ranks (maybe?)
This idea quickly popped into my head and I wanted to share it.
I know how a lot of people complain about ranks and matchmaking, well I had a sudden idea to how to fix this, maybe? Or probably I'm just being stupid again. Anyways...
I thought that ranks wouldn't be shown to anyone, anywhere. But there would still be a hidden ranking system based on wins, stats, etc. This would be the great time to add stats, finally! People have been asking for this anyway.
Based on these stats, the game would collect the people who are within range of these stats and put them in the game. So if you're a survivor but you can't win, you will be put together with a killer who also doesn't have merciless victories every time and is in your range regarding skill.
Now you could say this idea would make the matchmaking times even slower, but it really all depends on how many people play the game, and what kind of people play the game. If there are a lot of red ranks around nowadays, then it shouldn't take a long time. If everyone's so cool and toxic all the time, then they will be paired with someone equally as toxic and good.
If there's any killer mains out there who are really good at the game, they will be mostly paired up with a 4 man SWF group (or 2x2 man SWF groups) where the survivors stats "combine". Otherwise, there shouldn't be any solo player in a SWF match. For example if there's only 2 players in a group, and they're looking for a match, they will be paired up with another SWF group. Kind of like the Overwatch system, where if there's a group of players on one team, there will be a group on the other team, 100% of the time.
I am unsure whether if this would make it longer for people to find matches or not, but it sure did sound plausible in my head.
Either way my only intention for this idea is to prevent people from waiting so long and to prevent rank 20 killers matching up with purple/red ranked survivors, or vice versa. It happened earlier today. This is why if there is a SWF group where one survivor is rank 15 (for example) and the other is rank 4, then the killer will be decided based on that SWF group's stats as a whole.
Oh also remove post-game chat. I don't think it has any uses besides toxicity. Sure, some people go past it as killers and whatnot, but most stay to argue, harass each other only to report each other at the end of the day because of their own stupidity.
Everything else is fine, in my opinion.
