*All* survivors are going to be considered "potatoes" by the new MMR system

Consider this - you're rank 1/2/3/4 and you get put with a team that is in the upper ranks of 10+ that doesn't know how to play DBD completely, your "skill" that round is up to your teammates playing skillfully against a potential red-rank killer. So, if they get downed and you have to go for the saves (and nobody's doing gens), RIP your matchmaking rank. Even better if they DC and leave you in a 1V1 with the killer.

TLDR version: Your ability to do well as a survivor in a round is highly determined by the MMR. If you get put with terrible teammates, it's likely your performance that round is going to be terrible too.

    So far MM has abused the killers for me. I've had Red rank teammates that have been actually NOT potatoes! The killer however seems REALLY bad. I mean, new player type bads. So the MM has screwed somewhere if these poor players are being matched to people far beyond their skill level.

    If you can do well in chases, your team doesn't matter that much because you'll last longer than everyone else, which gives you more time do do stuff like saves, heals, gens and chases.

    Even if the game ends at four gens, a good Survivor will have done that one gen, gotten 2-3 saves and a decent amount of pallet stuns and time in chase. Plus, if you're the last Survivor and get unlucky with hatch you can farm points with totems

    Ive had a dwight running around throwing pallets down when he’s not in a chase.

    And he was such a baby he got into lockers for no apparent reason. 😔

    If you get into a chase and run a killer around for several minutes, then your MMR is going to go up. Especially if the killer you get is also a very high MMR killer. This is only natural if you are actually good at the game. After all, even before MMR was introduced, there were games where I would pip (despite dying) but everyone else would depip.

    If your teammates can't last 10 seconds in a chase, their MMR will probably go down.

    Over time, assuming the system is working as intended, the bad survivors will get weeded out and the good survivors will rise up, then eventually as their MMRs get closer and the bad survivors get further apart, they will start matching with each other together on a team.

    Will it actually work remains to be seen.

    Do you have any evidence that MMR takes length of chases into account, or are you assuming it does?

    Chases is literally the only skillful thing survivors can do besides just general knowledge of the game and having good game sense. It would be insanely stupid if prolonging and surviving chases did absolutely nothing for your MMR. I do not think BHVR is that insanely stupid.

    So it’s an assumption. I guess we’ll see.
