Yeah. Due to MMR I stopped killing survivors. I'll shoot for two hook stages on everyone but I intentionally let everyone go. Survivors are usually nice about it, everyone gets BP, I max out my BBQ if I'm lucky, but the game SUCKS as soon as you start winning. It's not that I don't like losing, that's a normal part of a competitive game, but it's that the game becomes frustrating and unplayable once you raise your MMR.
I know what I'm doing can be considered smurfing, but I really don't have any intentions on killing survivors every again as long as the current SBMM algorithm is in place. I'd gladly sacrifice some extra BP for a playable game in exchange.

at higher grades maybe. i am more casual killer so i haven't moved above silver 4 since they changed the ranks into grades. since they just reset we'll see how often i play. if i end up needing a kill to pip i'll just kill 1 when i have the chance. personally i think mmr being based on kills/escapes only is dumb so i do this partly in protest.
Yeah, but selfishly if they raised killer MMR based on hooks or other actions then I couldn't farm anymore without getting a huge MMR boost. Ugh! But I'm sure some players want that, the ones that care about MMR being as high possible.

It's different based on your grade.
In ash you should be able to get it from 1, maybe even 0 if you would max other emblems.
Iri grade usually need 3.
Thaaaaat is really good to know! Thank you!

I came to the same conclusion. I just try to do enough to pip and then avoid killing survivors even if i'm outplaying them. Getting kills means more stress as killer. No one plays games to be stressed
Have you solved any math equation to understand the MINIMUM number of survivors to kill in a trial to get one pip? Is it 1 or 2? I know it depends a lot on the other categories though.

I know where you're coming from - but the problem is that you're smurfing. When you eventually do decide to step on the gas, you're just going to roll over dozens of newbies.
Maybe, when you hit a spot that is challenging but still fun - go for the 2k to hold your MMR in that position.
Honestly, I'd be so happy if this game somehow magically gave me nothing but 2K's.
And I get your point. It is smurfing, but I don't see why I would ever step on the gas, so I don't plan on taking advantage of the situation and going for 4K's, or even 2K's. I know, it's a weird way to play this game and not what the devs have indicated is a win condition. So now I'm in the philosophical dilemma of "Do I play a game the way that it's intended to be played or play it the way that I want to play it to maximize my own fun."

But dont you need to kill 3 for pip?
I personally don't care a whole lot for pipping, I'm more about my stacks of BBQ. But I think you need at least 1 kill to get 1 pip if you have maxed out everything else, but I could be wrong.

@Bwsted the good news is when I was actually trying and playing for kills I doubt my MMR was anywhere near the soft cap. Sorry to ask but how much does each individual's killer MMR get lowered if your overall MMR is lowering? I thought I read somewhere that losing a lot with one killer still slightly lowers it with the other killers? I can't find those notes/explanations anywhere though!

From what I understand MMR depends a lot on how many people are playing at that specific time of the day. Let's say you have 200 high MMR survivors and only 40 high MMR killers playing at a certain time, 160 survivors are going to get paired with all 40 high MMR killers. Meanwhile the 40 survivors left will probably get paired with average/low MMR killers after a certain time waiting for a lobby.
So even if you derank your MMR on purpose there's always a chance you would get paired with these teams. That's why even today you still see players with less than 100 hours who get paired with those over 4000.
That's actually really good context, thank you. Depending on who else is playing not ALL matches will be as chill as I want them.

Yeah it's weird @Adjatha that DBD is the only game I've ever played where I feel rewarded by NOT playing the objective and playing the objective is a PUNISHMENT, at least as killer. I personally don't get satisfaction by rising any ranks. So if tanking my MMR means experiencing less toxicity and hair-pulling matches then so be it. I won't waste survivor's time (unless they're full of BM then I won't do anything all match) but I also won't kill anyone.

AH! Sorry @I_am_Negan yes, I meant 8 hooks, my bad.
