Enough is Enough, May We Please Get the Matchmaking Fixed?

Before I start I'd like to say I consider myself a hardcore DBD fan. I have over 400 hours in this game. I've spent countless dollars on cosmetics. I've defended it on the Steam forums. Hell I even bought a copy for a friend so I would have someone to play survivor with.

Long story short I'm not one to rage at the devs. That said this matchmaking bug is destroying any and all fun I have as a killer. As someone who plays with a Xbox gamepad on PC using medium graphic settings I'm without a doubt a casual player. I've never reached rank 1 and have no intention of getting there.

So why do I keep getting premade teams of red/purple rank Survivors running OoO? Just take a look at my last two matches:

They were not fun. For the one on the right I went AFK after I could only take so much humiliation.

Now imagine how the free to play killers are feeling after facing such groups? I doubt they'd want to buy the game after such torture sessions.

Please fix this bug! It kills all fun in this game.

    Yeah it is so crazy now. Rank 8 and versing rank 15's. Not gonna complain too much about ez 4ks, but it is seriously unfair for survivors.

    The current wombo combo of the Stranger Things chapter and the Free Weekend would have been a great way in attracting new players... until this happened. Nobody has fun getting obliterated! 😫

    Looking at those ranks is the perfect visual embodiment of how glitchy the game is right now.

    BALANCE

    • The Demogorgon's Shred special ability now breaks pallets by default. Because of this change, we have re-worked the Red Moss add-on. Please see the changes below.
    • Reworked The Demogorgon's Red Moss add-on: Previously, with the Red Moss add-on, The Demogorgon could break pallets using Shred - now this is a default effect of Shred. The new Red Moss add-on reads as follows: Tremendously increases the duration of the Undetectable status effect applied to The Demogorgon when emerging from a portal (for a total of 10 seconds). Tremendously decreases power recovery speed of traversing the Upside Down (recovery now takes 24 seconds).
    • The perk Surge now grants the Destruction score event for each affected generator.
    • The perk Second Wind will now display the progress towards activating the perk.
    • Adjusted the matchmaking logic so that Survive With Friends groups are matched using the highest rank of all players in the group (instead of the average). The 3.2.0 patch introduced an issue that caused Survive With Friends group matchmaking to be skewed towards Rank 20, which is also fixed with this change.

    @Peanits Thank you! I will no longer complain as much anymore. I will only defend the upcoming Pennywise chapter from the many, many haters.

  • captainlongshlong captainlongshlong

    I had the same issue just now.

    I haven't played DBD for a few weeks. First game tonight as killer and I end up with three rank 2's and a rank 14.

    I'm pretty good and have played for quite a while. But if a new player has to come up against lobbies like that, they'll lose interest in the game very quickly.

    Glad to hear that they're fixing it but considering the game is now 3 years old, you'd think that these sorts of issues would have been all figured out by now.

    So I'm not the only one who questions matchmaking that is a small relief.

    3 man swf. I feel sorry for the random and the killer.

  • T_FAT1988 T_FAT1988

    Same happens to me and one of my friends on ps4. We're both killer rank 16 and just tonight he was up against 8,8,6,&5 and I had to face 2,2,3,&4. Needless to say we didn't win.
