This hasn't gone away, 4 times in the past 2 days, support no help from ticket I put in a month ago regarding this. I've had hours of bans at this point, which is absolute bullshit.
What a ######### way to treat paying customers, to allow this problem to continue for as long if not longer than the life of this thread...

Happens to me at least once a week, probably more

An image above players' heads being invisible or not has nothing to do with why or when you get matched with them. You were still going to end up in that lobby regardless. Prestige doesn't effect MMR.
I know you guys who are annoyed with the wait times but if I SEE the numbers are well above what I perceive to be an even match, I leave that lobby and look for something without level 100s. Am I specifically looking for an advantage and shopping for a person whos well under me? No, I just want an equal playing field. My highest level character whether it's killer or survivor is 3. That's how much I play. Should I be forced to play with someone who's obviously outclassed me? I don't believe so, I'd rather not. I'd rather wait another 5 mins for something that looks like it won't be a miserable experience. I get the random lobby matches have nothing to do with this change. But now I can't decide whether it's something I wanna deal with.
Like I said the problem is apparently a lack of evenly matched player base, so they hide it. That doesn't fix the root problem. That just frustrates people like me who have to blindly enter a contest that I most likely will lose. I'd rather play games to enjoy them.

We literally had RANKS visible for a long time until they decided to make them hidden and nothing apocalyptic happened. Trust me, you'll survive.
Nothing in my post stated anything apocalyptic was occurring. I've simply noticed way more one sided matches, with me the one being outclassed, since they've started messing with this mechanic. Sure, I could keep playing, if that's what you mean by survive. But it ain't fun, and I'm not the only one who thinks so. My point is which is the lesser evil, which drives away more players... Catering to those who want to shave a few minutes off of a wait time? Then expect those of us who are mostly frustrated with the game to lose interest.

If matchmaking is such that is so disproportionate in player skill that says something about a declining player base, so hiding the fact that you either have a problem with new player numbers or departing seasoned ones or mid level ones walking away from it, I dont believe this is the fix to your problem.
I'm relatively new, started slightly before que times were terrible in my limited experience, a few months before the 7 year anniversary, so I'm not what you'd call good at the game by any stretch. During the first few months of playing the game was engaging, as a killer, and I found the matches to be rather close. As a survivor, random teams seemed 50/50 whether I'd get some sandbags or players that didnt even know how to use perks yet, or we'd get your random p100, so thats always been just a mixed bag it seems, but for the most part I don't seem to recall being utterly outclassed by a killer before this either playing survivor.
Lately I've had nothing but survivors with the ability to endlessly loop, gen rush, and whether they are random or a group of friends out to troll completely one side a match to where I'm close to hanging up the game altogether. I'd say the not very fun matches I've had in the past week or so are 3 to 1 in ratio. I don't play games to be frustrated, so this newly implemented feature makes it fun for your veteran players. Not players like me.
You're absolutely right at this point I'd lobby shop. As a guy who's trying to develop skill and learn the game, I don't find an environment where I'm completely dominated for most matches conducive to learning and enjoying the game.
I'm sure all the higher level players who are doing the destroying of killers or high ranked killers who are getting a group of babies are absolutely loving the idea.
I'm certain if you look at the data you'll see their ranking going up steadily as newer players like me stagnate or get worse.
This is not a welcome change, as I absolutely would leave a lobby after waiting 5/10 mins to join up with a group of level 50+ flashlight holding survivors.
You as a developer need to find some way to either retain a player base or be more inviting to newer ones. Not put a bandaid on the problem by masking a disproportionate skill level in matchmaking.
From the player perspective, if you're enjoying the total domination of lesser skilled players as a skilled and seasoned one, especially due to this change... well I don't see how that's that's very fun at all.
If you're wondering why a killer would go sit in the basement and wait out the time after being flash-banged, permablinded, head-on at every locker, pallet stunned at every corner, and has gotten perhaps 2 hooks in 4 gens, this is why. This cannot be an engaging experience for them either.
Seems to me this speaks to a real problem of a good game hemorrhaging players and not gaining new ones, so my suggestion is focus on how to compete with that rather than just masking it with the inability to see how one sided match ups have become lately.
