    You can't go into lobbies that already have survivors in them so you basically have a smaller lobby pool.

    It's trying to decide which rank killer to pair you up with. If you're all the same rank, there might not be a killer in the same rank range available. If you only have 3 survivors, it then has to find a solo survivor and a killer of similar rank. So there's a lot of variables.

    If you're solo, there's less variables and it can fit you into basically any lobby including ones that already have 3 survivors and a killer. Playing solo is basically akin to removing search filters in Google.

    What do you mean it's trying to decide? It's the exact same algorithm as solo.

    This happens to me as well but it doesn't take 10 min only 5 max, this happens since the SWF update they did.

    Yes this update ruined my queue times, especially swf. I should do a thread on it eventually probably.

    BHVR recently stated that it tries to match you with a killer or a teammate of similar rank, but will sometimes sacrifice that in favor of shorter queues.

    Yes that's how it matches solos too. It isn't supposed to pair you up with people of random ranks.

    Like someone already said, you have to wait for a game with only 1 survivor and a killer. It eliminates the options that would have been there if you played solo. How do you not understand this.

    Yes I realize that...it's not just about ranks. It's about who is queued up. If you have a 2 man, it has to find another 2 man or two solos. If you're in a 3 man, it has to find just a solo survivor and a killer. If you're a solo it can throw you into a duo, a three man, or with a bunch of other solos. Being solo just diversifies the amount of lobbies you can possibly be thrown into.

    If you're a 4 man SWF, the queues should be shorter, but it'll still go through the normal algorithms of trying to find a suitable killer, and if you're all red rank survivors, there isn't many red rank killers to go around for everybody.

    I'm a Rank 1 killer and my queues are about 1-10 seconds, any time of the day, any day of the week. North American region.

    North America my queues have been 1-3 mins post patch. I get the fitting survivors into lobbies stuff, but what does multiple survivors of the same rank have to do with anything? Matchmaking takes the rank of a survivor party and matches it against killers, not regarding other teammates in the lobby. The highest rank(1) of the party is used to determine the party's collective rank. This collective rank system has been this way since the swf matchmaking change, which ruined queue times by skewing survivors towards higher ranks.

    Because you need to fit into a lobby that has room?

    Everything you're saying should be highlighted with the word SUPPOSEDLY. I'm Rank 1 and queue up with my Rank 11 friend and get a Rank 15 Killer. So stop acting like it's so clear cut LOL

    Rank 1 solos also go against rank 15...enough with the anecdotes.

    When we SWF someone always goes on their alt where they're yellow ranked. We get baby killers which are always fun to fool around with.
