Matchmaking Variety System

SkeletalElite

So everyone has those days where you just get the same killer again and again every once in a while. What if the matchmaker would prioritise putting you with other killers for a few games after getting a killer, that way you are more likely to encounter different killers. This isn't something you control or choose, just after playing against a killer, for the next few games you are less likely to see that killer unless there aren't enough other killer choices available in the matchmaking pool.

I could get behind something like this, as long as there is no choice involved, and it’s disabled if needed to preserve quick Que times.

You keep getting the same killers because at least half are not viable.

Let's say there are ~12 viable killers in the game and everything else is in the "suck" category. In order to have a system like this you need to change the difference between the best killer and the worst killer so that there isn't a mountain of difference. The best and worst should be no more than 15% apart.

Blight and Nurse are "op" because they have fast movement, strong antiloop and can always end chases quickly. This artificially creates "4v1" pressure that only a few killers have as part of their kit (Nemesis/PinHead).

Those main three elements represent a "complete" kit. Anything less is garbage by comparison.

No thanks, I like going against a lot of the common killers.

this has nothing to do with balance this is because a couple of days ago I was encountering many legions and ghost faces.

I don't mind playing against a legion or ghostface, but when you play 15 matches and over half of them were legion and ghostface.

(5 ghostface and 3 legion)

I don't mind playing against those killers, but when you're playing against the same 2 killers every other match it just gets a bit stale. Especially a killer like legion whos counterplay consists of running into corners, so he can't chain hits and holding m1 for 12 seconds every time you see him. You get a bit tired of it when it's all you're seeing.
