Is match making broken today?

I know its reset day but every single match for me has been nothing but an absolute slaughterfest. Everyone is using the unknown and they're playing like they have years of experience with this killer. Every match is a 4k with no gens completed. Anyone else having a similar experience today?

  • People don't know how to go against him he's incredibly easy to counter too one wall and he's just completely nullified

    This should not be the reason why nearly every match is ending in 4k with no gens completed against this killer.

    People probably aren't trying that hard most people are really bored with the game not sure why they play it though there's so much other games to play

  • I feel like this happens most of the time a new killer comes out with odd counterplay. Unknown excels against survivors who don't know maps, as he forces them to stare at him instead of looking ahead for loops. The matchmaking reset just means the new and veteran players are placed together, which gives any Unknown player presumably a few easy targets in every match.

    Give it a day or two, it should iron itself out. Unless matchmaking is bugged, in which case that entire paragraph should be disregarded.

  • Just all the sweatiest Killers returning to the game to try their hardest for easy 4Ks with the latest overpowered Killer before BHVR decides to nerf him. Sable's perks aren't all that impressive, so all the more experienced Survivors have probably stayed away, hence the imbalanced match making. What else should we expect when BHVR keep releasing Killer sided updates?

    It happens every chapter. I've already decided not to touch the game for another week. I should know by not to play around new chapter releases because it's always a miserable experience for me.

    Matching making doesn't reset, only the grade system resets. They are not in any way connected.

  • I started tracking my games today and I'll share the results at the end of the season but currently my escape rate against Unknown is 33% (50% for the day total) and it's kinda not had a lot to do with Unknown.

    One game was just with people doing more totems than gens and the other was on new groaning storehouse and honestly that map feels a little too small to me now. My observations on Unknown rn is the following

    1. He actually has insane map presence with the teleports
    2. Running him is kinda annoying to have to constantly look at him, other killers like slinger and huntress it feels like you can alternate looking ahead and looking behind inbetween shots but Unknown feeling like you have to look at them all the time.
    3. Dispelling hallucinations feels like a must to keep them under control.
    4. Most insane zoning in the game, a lot of Unknowns I'm playing against just hold the shot forever and they barely lose any speed
    5. I have not seen their dog and I wish they would stop asking me
  • It’s not as in-depth as you might think. Grade reset so the climb to iri 1 begins. Once many reach their goals then it will get more back to usual.

    Strange that is even a factor, considering you don't even pip as killer if you 4k too fast. At least you don't in the higher ranks as far as I remember.

    Depends on the killer being used. If you are using power and downing quickly and getting high amounts of hooks you get the double. I also have had games that were quick and got nothing or barely a pip.

  • This has pretty much been my experience with the game all day. You shouldn't be able to down 4 survivors this fast and leave them on the ground like this.

  • Is today a day that ends in 'y'? Then yes, matchmaking is broken.
