Killing is usually brought down to 1 - 4k. Kill all four, 4k.
Pipping: Your score is counted at the end. How you do determines if you pip. Better you do, higher your score, better chance of a pip. Pips determine your rank. Five pips for each rank, so you rank up by doing well. The higher your rank, the better your score needs to be in order to attain pips during a match.
I generally think 16k score at the end of a match should be the minimum on whether you did a fair job. Shows you put in some good chases, had some downs, hit gens, broke pallets, etc. Other people think differently, so will you.
What platform are you playing on? On PC, post game lobby has a chat screen we can use.
Mindgaming is outmaneuvering survivors at a pallet or vault. A simple mindgame is to just turn around and walk backwards, or moonwalk, to hid your red stain. It may trick the survivor into backtracking, allowing you to land a hit when they're out positioned. It gets more detailed, but you learn it as you go along.
MMR, as in matchmaking. Technically, you 'should' only be placed with players 6 ranks above/below you. But the system has been busted for over eight months now. A new one is being built by the devs, but it's. . . slow. You'll find a lot of changes in this game are slow. So, you can be a rank 20 killer, and face red ranks, which are far, far above you. Shouldn't happen, but does.
SWF is Survive with Friends. It's the group portion of the game, where survivors can call in their friends to play with. Most of the time, they'll use third party voice chat, such as Discord. to communicate with each other. It's a huge advantage, something I myself detest. But you'll have to learn to live with it.

When I play killer, I measure success by how many kills I get. 0-1 is a loss, 2 is a tie, 3-4 is a win. Others may consider pipping to be the goal. Others still may consider getting points to be the goal. You need to figure out what you're going for first, and then you can tell if you suck depending on whether or not you achieved that goal.
Thank you both. I'm actually surprised I got intelligent, supportive responses from you guys. Knowing the internet I figured I might just get a bunch of "you know u suck when you lose - git gud". I'll take all this into consideration and leave this forum open for anyone else who ever wants to know how to tell if they suck. Thanks to you both as well as anyone else who may comment here with more input.
Also Rivyn, I unfortunately play on PS4. :/

Look at their ranks. If they're red, and you're spanking them left and right, then yes. You're doing fantastic.
If you're constantly getting 0 or 1k, then you can improve.
Are you pipping?
Is your score above 16k?
In post game chat (If you're on PC), is it filled with survivor tears about tunneling/camping? I'd say that's a win.
Can you win mindgames?
A lot goes into determining whether or not you're doing well. The problem is the poor MMR system in place right now. You may get a few fair matches, you may get a ton of poorly mismatched ones. You may run into SWF time and time again who are out to bully you, or you may find a team of potatoes who sandbag each other. It's hard to say.
The real question you should ask yourself, though, is 'are you having fun?' If you are, I'd say that's a win.
Hey thanks so much for your reply. That's some good advice and I'll look into it.
Also since I'm new I'll have to look into all those words and acronyms you mentioned lol
