Matchmaking has always been trash in this game and probably always will be. They make the game ridiculously difficult for new players so they don't stick around. They also deliberately try to inflate kill rates so they can be around 60%..

Everyone's obsession with SWF doesn't help either. For every good or even decent SWF group playing together is that many less Survivors for the Solo Queue talent pool as well.

in Matchmaking is bad Comment by Lobos September 20, 2023

Because it's "Us" against "Them" and it's just not fair! And blah, blah, blee, blue! Other people make me sad..

It feels like BHVR does it by design regarding solo queue matchmaking. There is almost always one player who is significantly worse than the other 3 players. It stops feeling like a random quirk of matchmaking when most losses are the result of one player being significantly worse than their teammates. It makes outcomes feel contrived and frustrating.

This is what it feels like to me as well. I've noticed the matchmaking will usually pair me with at least 1 or 2 low prestige survivors and 1 survivor like me with a high or mid tier prestige.

Most likely this is by design to keep the kill rates where BHVR wants them to be because they know 4 good solo players can perform just as well as a good SWF with no comms needed.

It also helps to constantly report all his content on whatever platform he posts to. Don't watch it, just keep reporting it. After the platform gets so many reports about the hacking and hate speech/harassment they will shut down the videos/streams.

Honestly it's just sad that person gets any views at all. Granted most of them probably come from bots anyway. Imagine being so lonely and desperate for attention that you would make such "content".

Another fine example of the trash matchmaking system at work

in 3K Hours Killer vs Survivors who is playing their first match Comment by Lobos September 5, 2023

Same problem for me on Xbox Series S too. Error code 502..

The lobbies are fine, it shows the offerings, the game loading bar fills up and then it crashes right before the trial is supposed to start.

Have the killer be Charles Lee Ray "The Lakeshore Strangler"
He can transfer his soul into random Good Guy Dolls scattered throughout the map.

I like that idea. Or maybe if he downs you as the Good Guy doll he can swap bodies with Survivors and make them be the doll for some random amount of time?

Lots of fun memes and pranks to be had there! You wouldn't know right away if the doll approaching you was Chucky or a temporarily trapped Survivor.

Yeah I was considering doing that. Disabling chat,but I thought we had a nice casual match,and wanted to say gg to them,and then they just started talking smack to me. I just ended up saying glhf,but I guess this ain't the type of game where you can just say gg if one side loses.

Your heart is in the right place. There are still Killer and survivor players out there that have fun with each other and are nice about it but it's kind of rare these days honestly.

I disabled chat long ago but if you do and have a nice match with someone you can always send them a friend request in DbD too. Odds are they will accept it if they had fun too.

in What do you do if your bad at a killer? Comment by Lobos August 21, 2023

People will say anything to get under your skin, especially if you outplay them a couple of times. I play on Xbox so I rarely play killer on public games because the controls feel clunky and slow.

I say play whatever you want to play and just disable chatting. People rarely message you nice things in DbD anyway.

You can also try out killers with bots in custom games to find your desired play style. Give the bots builds you normally see Survivors using in public games and play a few warm up custom games before going back to public games.

in What do you do if your bad at a killer? Comment by Lobos August 21, 2023

I used to feel this way after the 6.1 update. I have around 1850 hours in DbD, 90% of that time has been spent playing only Solo Q Survivor. Sure, I've experienced plenty of bad trials but also had plenty of fun or really close ones too.

I recently started keeping track of the results of my trials just out of curiosity. In my past 37 games I have escaped 62% of the time.(23/37)

That is all purely Solo Survivor. A few games I got teammates with poor coordination but overall I had pretty good teammates that tried their best. A few games I saved or helped someone early on in the trial and they sacrificed themselves end game for me to escape.

There are good Solo players out there. Just keep practicing, trying your best, and being helpful to the team when you can and your teammates will eventually start to notice it.

This is the truth. I am pretty good in chase but sometimes I can waste just as much if not more of the killer's time if I can hide effectively and have them continue searching because they know I'm nearby.

Exactly! Or better yet, you waste some of their time with the searching and then also get their attention and start a chase too. Very efficient for gaining the maximum amount of time possible for your teammates to work on other gens.

in This game has become a bit too much of hiding and not enough in your face horror action Comment by Lobos August 21, 2023

Stealth as a Survivor is generally pretty fun and tense at times. It's incredibly underrated these days and is also where new players will naturally start their learning progression.

Stealth is just another tool/skill in the Survivor Toolbox. When used correctly in certain key moments, it can positively effect the outcome of the trial. If not used properly or at the correct time, you just lose overall gen pressure.

I still occasionally enjoy Stealthing around and I have 1800 hours. I find it hilarious watching Killers searching lockers while I'm really in a nearby bush or behind a wall.

I can also see the Predator angle. What's not discussed a lot though is this: everyone says the skull merchants power is clunky and weak, so if she were replaced with the predator, wouldn't peeps hate on him, too?

I agree that it's supposed to be Predator. I even requested them on that survey about licenses too. I would have been a lot happier just seeing the iconic Predator cloaking and uncloaking even if it is just like Wraith.

What we got just feels kind of forced, awkward, and a little too safe visually. The drones could use some more polish too.. I wish they could be controlled manually in First Person view. Maybe smash into Survivors and deal a single health State hit? Just something a little more interactive maybe?

If you are going to camp, tunnel, bring annoying or overpowered builds, and play a OP killer in a obnoxious way then don't queue up. See how easy that solves the problem?

in If you're going to give up on first hook..... Comment by Lobos February 3, 2023

And why do people play killer more often than survivor now? Why is the incentive almost always on Survivor? Or why do people feel the need to only play "Survivor with their friends?" It's not a difficult conclusion, playing Survivor is not very fun most of the time and is mostly extremely boring and tedious.

in 100% incentives are always on Survivor Comment by Lobos October 30, 2022

No really!? You need 4 survivors for 1 killer!? Wow thanks, who would have guessed!? Maybe ask yourselves why there are not enough survivors or why you don't play it more often..

Lol. A 4 game streak is hardly indicative of the game's health. Play 400 games and you can draw some conclusions.

I play Survivor 90% of the time and can 4k with a low tier killer multiple times in a row against people with more experience than me without even trying. Pretty sad it takes a full 4 person SWF with comms to even have a chance at win streaks

I know it's shocking for you but killer players lose too eventually. Can't win every single game!

Oh no, killers can't win 100% percent of the time!! Survivors are OP! Nerf, nerf, nerf!! SWF is OP! Boo hoo, now I'm sad and angry.

in D3AD one of the best killers just got owned twice by SWF Comment by Lobos October 30, 2022

ArrayGaming, Vulpixia, Dookmo, TheGhostieShow, Ohmwrecker

Ran into OnepumpWillie during his current Sadako win streak. (I almost legit got the hatch escape but he downed me and gave me mercy hatch anyway.)

The one really big one that stands out was SpookyLoopz. He was playing Oni.

I play against or with many small/newer TTVers every single DbD session but we're obviously not counting those. So many people stream DbD these days.

As a killer my thinking has been that solo players should get a slight buff, not that swf players should get a nerf. 🤷‍♂️

I agree, thank you for being civil and reasonable. As a mostly Solo player I don't want SWFs to get buffed either.

I've seen plenty of streamers playing with their chat or friends and all they do is talk trash and try to show off and then complain so hard when it backfires or they get outplayed. I can totally see that being the majority of SWFs too.

I really wish there were more decent human beings playing this game but people have always been vile, especially when they can hide behind a screen and not have to face any consequences for their actions.

Playing both killer and solo survivor, your bias is showing.
Killer games can be that miserable, facing SWF after SWF where you get barely any hooks.
Meanwhile my solo survivor games lately have been fine. Decent amount of escapes, and even if I don't someone usually does.
That's not to say solo survivor isn't desperately in need to QoL improvements, but the situation isn't as dire as people like to claim, and if it is, you're probably not a very good solo survivor.
Latest stats showed that solo survivors escaped about 15% less than SWF, which is still within the "2K average" bracket.
Playing solo survivor requires a different attitude to SWF, you need to play more cautiously and strategically, and be aware of how the killer might find you, because you don't have team mates to fall back on if you get yourself caught.
Decent killer players make better solo survivors, because they know how 'they' would find someone.

That is hilarious you say my bias is showing while clearly showing your own. Killers are not facing SWF after SWF and barely getting hooks.

I have 1,400 hours in the game and regularly get prestige 80 to 100 teammates in my solo Q games and more often than not the team still gets 4ked.

Get off your high horse and quit trying to hide that you clearly play more killer than survivor and have no idea what you're talking about.

I'm so sick of seeing killer mains acting like this game isn't completely in their favor! Even if you do run into a SWF it's one damn match you lost!

Playing Survivor is beyond miserable and you can literally lose 10 or more games in a row. No killer player is losing that much and it's so disgusting seeing them all complain constantly about SWF!

If Solo wasn't such a miserable experience people wouldn't be forming so many SWFs just to have a chance at a fair match up!

First survivor game of the night trying to do the new tome challenges. Got tunneled and chased the whole time by a PoS Slinger player just because I had a toolbox.

So much fun! So glad they make people just trying to do survivor challenges targets for salty sweatlord killer players. What an awesome idea!

Not really, i am getting stomped by SWF's teams every 10th game or something and it is far from FUN.
I do play survivor as well, just very low mmr and i chill, i don't care if i die or escape and most of the time we lose because teammates in solo quee are just selifsh most of the time.
I complain for High Elo SWF being busted not "ALL survivors"

Well news flash friend, it's also "Not fun" for the people that you "stomp" on your way to meet the SWF teams.. Also by the way, how do you even know they are SWFs to begin with? There are good Solo players out there too and I'm sick of hearing how only good players are SWFs which is completely untrue.

Two of your poor Nurse victims are so new they have tier 2 common perks in their builds. And you had the audacity to complain about SWFs in previous posts!

It's shameful that you run those builds on Nurse and Spirit and then wonder why players DC and often send you salty end game messages. Try having a bit of empathy for the people you play against!

I see how much 'fun' these people had playing against you with the points they got - and this during an event that basically doubles the BP's...
Midwich offering, range and recharge addon + that build screams "I need all the training wheels I can get and gonna sweat as hard as possible on top and then act upset if people don't want to play against me"
YOU are the prime example of why people DC against Nurse.

The fact that you still think Spirit is a problem kind of proves his point.

The fact that you don't shows how ridiculously biased you are. All it takes is getting injured and you can't get away from her because they nerfed Iron Will.

There is a reason she is always in the top 3 of tier lists but sure guy go ahead and keep believing killers are not OP. You're delusional just like every other killer main that thinks killers being able to win 100+ games in a row is ok and balanced.

I agree, The Arcane Dowsing Rod offerings will be useless after the event is over. I'm using them every game too and trying to avoid getting new ones but sometimes we are forced to buy more to progress in the bloodweb.

I think they should compensate us the full 2,000 for each unused Dowsing Rod left in our inventories after the event is done but I'd settle for half that too. Just as long as they don't just killswitch them and leave them there!

@fake said:
I am considering some points regarding some issues and inconsistencies regarding PIP.
When it was a matching system by rank and when it worked.
Developers used rank as a measure of competence.
But as time went on, everyone became Red Rank and Rank 1. I think the matchmaking of ranks has been broken since then.
The developers abandoned the rank system, which no longer worked, and developed a matchmaking system based on rates, which are masked data. The ranks were then reshaped into the grades we have today. At that point, I remember the developers saying about grades that they were an indicator of how much you had played recently.
But here is where the contradiction arises.
If the grade is to be an indicator of how much you have played recently, then everyone should get a grade of red 1 if they play a lot. Oddly enough, just like when I was at that rank.
But both ranks and grades use the exact same emblem system. Anyone else find this odd?
If it reinforces the OP's opinion, I agree that PIP for grades need not be reduced. Because the grade should only be an indicator of how recently it was played.
I am not sure if I am getting my point across well since I am speaking through an automated translation. But I am trying to say that the grading system itself is flawed.

Your comment is well written and easy to understand. I completely agree with you!

Thank you for sharing your opinion on reduced pips and the grading system.
