I love playing as killer in this game when it's a balanced match. However I only get balanced matches once in every 3 or so games. My killer rank is 16 and in the last 4 matches I played I got no kills. 3 of the 4 games had 3 survivors better than rank 10 (usually around the 5-8 range) the 4th match I had 2 rank 5 survivors and 2 rank 10 survivors. Needless to say I didn't have any fun whatsoever. I often get at least 3 kills every time it's a balanced match (however my "balanced" matches usually have 1 or 2 people that are 6 or so ranks higher than me).
Anyways, this matchmaking issue is incredibly frustrating. When I first started noticing this issue (my first match as killer against 2 rank 5s, an 8 and a 12) I looked up how matchmaking is SUPPOSED to work. Supposedly, it's supposed to match a team of survivors with a killer where the killer's rank is close to the rank of the highest rank survivor. Now I understand the three major elements that are considered in matchmaking (fairness, time, ping[location]). So, I understand that as a way to keep time down there should be some leeway when it comes to fairness BUT there was also and explanation for this. Again, SUPPOSEDLY when matching a killer with survivors they start searching for a survivor that is the same rank as the killer and widen the rank window til they find a fitting team. But it's only supposed to be able to go up or down by 6 ranks as a cap, but that doesn't happen.. ever!
I have maybe seen one match of my 10 or matches as killer where the highest rank survivor was within 6 ranks of my rank. There is usually at least one survivor that is far higher level than me.
All of this being said, I really think the way that the matchmaking is explained would work really well if it's how it worked. If as a killer you could only go against survivor teams where the highest rank survivor as at MOST 6 ranks higher than you then the matchmaking in this game would be much better and the game as a whole would be much more enjoyable.
