Suggestion on reintroducing the MMR system

I am severely disappointed in how Behavior implemented the MMR system. I don't think basing off the MMR using data from the old system was a good idea. This is because the old system would put you against random people with different skill levels. Which then would cause inflation in what your MMR rating should be.

It should have been implemented like any other competitive game like a fresh slate for all and it will progress as you get better. Honestly, I don't know how people can treat this game as a competitive E-sports-ready game. It was never designed to be as such. As you can see with the current issues that have been highlighted from MMR. For example:

Low variety of killers, Limited viable perks for the killer, Low variety in survivor perks, How unbalanced the game is, Sweatiness for both sides. There are many more issues I could list but this is not what this discussion is about.

Here are the ways it could have been implemented better.

  1. Introduced on any day and everyone would have the same starting MMR rating. Yes, it will be rough for a few days for the casual players but it would figure itself out. This way everyone would have the MMR rating that they should belong to. Not the inflated MMR ratings that we currently have.
  2. Introduce a new ranked mode. We would be using the same implementation system stated in #1. This way the competitive players have a separate place from the casual players to play. For the casual mode, we would be using the old match-making system.

For implementation #2 I do not think it would mess up queue times for both modes. There are definitely people who want to see their rating compared to others. While there are people who just want to have a fun game.

I write this as a Killer and a Survivor who has played since beta. I do believe I have a high MMR rating for most of my killers and a decent rating for my survivors. While playing the past few days I can state that it feels like the game back when infinite loops were still around.

The game currently is just not fun and enjoyable. As I write this I decided it is in my best interest to stop playing till something improves. I do hope the game will become fun again in the near future.

Thank you for reading.

Does anyone else have a comment on how to make the game fun again?
