What's Wrong With MMR?
There's no way it's working as intended. Either that or I magically jumped up to the top and Otz fell to the very bottom.

Yea something feels broken, been getting my ass slapped a lot harder than normal tonight.
Maybe you're just not giving yourself enough credit? Or conversely, giving Otz too much credit?
Nah, but for real. They explained this, there's a soft cap to MMR that the devs can change when needed. This soft cap is what higher MMR's will fall back to when there's not enough players to fill a higher tier match.
Currently Soft Cap is about 1900 apparently and OTz is probably some stupid number like 3000+ by now. So if Otz decides to play Killer and there aren't enough 3000+ MMR Survivors to fill his lobby, the game will attempt to match him with lower MMR's so that he doesn't have to wait 3 months for a match at his level. When more players start reaching their right MMR levels for their skill the devs will raise the Soft Cap as needed, this'll eventually make unfair matchups less likely (in theory).
That's the general idea at least, and most likely what's happening.
I been 4K’ing most my games as killer, nothing too different than the norm for me at least.
Survivor queues are too long so I can’t help you there.
