"Its a legacy billy, i can't 360 this guy" 😂

Nah this is not a good example.. hag is a killer that can make good players look bad bc of how strong she is especially in soloq.

Had a game yesterday and I was running bond. Killer finds this bill first at shack, before getting injured or even trying to loop he just throws god pallet and goes on to throw 2 more safe pallets. I'm like WTF so I take aggro and when the pig realizes I don't camp or pre throw pallets she just leaves me and finds a David. Who immediately does the same thing as bill! By this time I'm pissed so next time piggy is on me I gesture her to follow me and run down to basement asking her to hook me. She shakes her her head no and let's me boop the snoot. ANYWAYS! Piggy kills everyone and would've let me go but I just teabag and boop with her until an active RBT crushes my head. End game lobby - ALL RED RANKS! I honestly couldn't believe it. Tldr: ranks really do not matter lol

@@lfr234 i believe is a good example, sometimes u don't know how to deal against some killers and that affects the match, because his teammates that have "similar experience" to him doesn't did nothing with the info they had. But of course hag has some really opressive aspects on her kit

that's not rank fucking up that's people purposefully being assholes

@@lfr234 They all had purple kindred....they could see all the traps she set around the hook. Not to mention a couple of them had flashlights that could neutralize the traps.

when I started playing the game back in December of last year, I reached rank 4 in 2-3 weekish and I didn't know much about perks and killers. i just played the game normally. I knew I was bad because my chases were significantly shorter than they are now and it felt like at the time this isn't the rank I was supposed to be. Now that I'm consistently at rank 2 I find it hard to pip because of how bad my teammates are and how killers play nowadays.

im basically the opposite. i can last in chase pretty long, a minute or longer. but because i chade the killer for long enough for teammates to do gens and not get downed too often I can't heal them or do gens so i usually safety pib or rank up on a good game.

Same here. Im always stuck in red ranks, even when im not even really trying. I suck at chases. I feel like I am an average player so ranl 10 would suit me better.

Bruh, i thought you are playing killer

Hey bro if you can last at least 30 seconds that’s good! That’s about half a gen with one survivor and basically a full gen with two by the time the killer hooks

This + glitch fixing and some perk balancing, and the game becomes a lot more tolerable

i just feel as tho, if yall keep complaining about the queue time, theyre gonna speed it up but u will be playing against bots, dbd is one of few games who doesnt add bots

@@actualperson5443 Lmao thank you, the same to you good sir

I would also like it if my Xbox didn’t crash everytime I tried to load up dbd.

Everyone just dismiss this saying "queues are going to be unending in that case, there are not enough players". I think that the broken matchmaking is keeping player from trying dbd.

as a Meg main I was also nodding

I was hoping to find a comment like this bc this is totally me. I hit and sit between rank 1 and 2 pretty early on after reset but I'm only half decent at looping, I just get gens and am really altruistic.

I'm not rude, just asking. Why don't you learn how to loop? To not be just half decent you know

@@fabianguidon611 Most likely a matter of not being chased enough and also when in chase with a really good killer, the chase is so short that your 'time' to practice is essentially nothing to really be able to learn from.

@@fabianguidon611 not rude at all! I actively still try to be better and have been watching yters/streamers for years to take notes, tips, and such to bring to my own gameplay. And I am muuuch better than when I first started a few years back. My thing is, I panic a lot in chase and tend to make a lot of stupid mistakes that I immediately recognize and try not to do again. Also the past few months I've taken up playing killer a lot more so that maybe I can learn something from that too.

The issue with this though is that you are equating your looping skills to your overall productivity, when YES looping is the most impactful thing but it's also not the only thing a survivor can do to help his team - you don't need an entire team of great loopers to win as survivor, you need efficient teammates at doing gens / healing / body blocking / opening gates / taking hits / saving - esentially what I'm saying is, if all we do is base red ranks on skill level of looping ... it's probably gonna be like in the past where it was hard to find a game in a reasonable time because NOT MANY PEOPLE are actually THAT good at looping. Most survivors have SOME good looping moments but they are inconsistent - they are just productive in other ways and as long as there are at least 2 solid loopers the other 2 can be productive in the mean time to win the game .. at the end of the day everyone is contributing something for the win (unless they are complete idiots but that's a different argument) the point is you don't need to be a top tier consistent looper to be a productive efficient teammate.

Oof that's hurt

Reminds me of the people who don’t know you can mori with devour

2 months ago not knowing some perks is acceptable but killers powers is just dumb, you should know every killers power to be at a rank 1 standard

@@nursestan7788 a lot of killers don't get played and their chances of going against them get lower the higher rank you get. So it isn't ideal but is possible.

From 1 am to 3am , I can only encounter red ranks and green ranks. While I'm literally rank 16

got bored when i hit red ranks so i played basement bubba till i was ~rank 10-15 instead now I can have fun fooling around

@@SoundsImportant Consider playing afk Myers or Deathslinger next time so you can rotate and have some variety. Those were some of the funniest troll games I’ve ever played. :)

The main issue for me was very similar yet slightly different. I took an entire 8 months break from Dead by Daylight and returned recently. The biggest problem for me on a personal level was something let's call "Boredom of the meta". Like you said, sometimes there will be baby games which is not very fun and also sweatfests and when people wanna sweat they will obviously run things that work. So every game felt the same way. It's the same perks every game and the same addons sometimes too so I know exactly how the game will be before I even start it and it became boring for me. The game needed fresh ways to play and better pool of perks (+obviously nerf stupid combos and fix bugs). The breakable walls at that point was very stale and uninteresting. Cool in concept, bad in execution. Luckily, Blight was released just as I was about to take a long break or quit but at that point it was point of no return for me haha.

@@Monkey_Business_JJ Hmm might just need to pick up gunslinger and give it a shot hahaha

Underrated comment

Why killers are so strong? Killer will be strong if player plays well as same as the survivor player.

Alternatively, it's a lot easier to say "Tunelling is necessary to win" than "I'm not good enough to catch these survivors in the intended way."

@@reeepingk mmm, it's really necessary when you play against swf, dbd is unbalanced af in that case

It's also a lot easier to just say people are bad rather than address the issues with the game itself

I feel the exact same

I got to rank 1 first month of getting the game. This was a little over a year ago.

Y U P

I had the same exact thought as well. Letting us pick up and play in casual would be nice especially for testing a build but at the same time having the competitive and “sweaty” lobbies strictly when playing ranked. It’ll be easier to track and easier separate those of us who wanna be competitive from those who are trying to just mess around

The thing is, sweaty people still would play Casual to crush people that don't want to sweat. In other games, most people love the feeling of improvement/competing and beating equally skilled player(s), making playing Ranked worth it but in DbD, most people want easy games since, well, it was supposed to be casual game and people want to win by playing casually.

@@justwatch7091 yeah there's enough killers that like the power fantasy of absolutely obliterating easy survivors and swfs that use 20 rank smurfs to have easy escapes/bully killers that I'm not sure a casual gamemode would work. Then again the sweatiest people would at least play with eachother so that would at least make most games more comfortable though queue times could be longer

@@greenbrickbox3392 not just killers.

@@usedhalfcart He didn't say just killers tho?

Im literally 50 hours in an have played mostly survivor games. every survivor game my team is fucking dogshit. no arguments about it. and everytime i tryto queue killer now, with very little bloodwebs done, i get matched with red and purple ranks. its very frustrating. i never get matched with these people as a survivor. im going to have to quit the game because i play casually, and i can not play this game without being upset whenever im not even trying.

I don't get how you can have games like that whilst I at the same time (as a rank 10 killer) queue into 3 rank 1 swfs in a row (I'm not making assumptions, they confirmed.)

@@lennart_glimpsel I get both of the above. Actually, every game is pretty easy until I get to rank 10 in both killers and survivors. I always cuise along and do just fine in most games until the rank 10 wall. At which point, all hell breaks loose. As a killer, I get 4ks regularly, until rank 10. Then it all comes to a stop and i face only god gamers and become entirely lost. There is no middle ground. They have 3 gens done by the time I get my first hook and they all get to the pallet or window right on time every single time. They know all the places they need to go and how to loop efficiently every tile in the game. As a Survivor, everything goes well until I get to level 10. Then it all comes to a stop and I get the worst teammates possible, hiding in lockers all game or walking around doing nothing the whole game. Teammates letting people get to second stage on first hook or even die without even trying to save them or come close. No one working on gens for 5 minutes strait... I'm seriously an average gamer, but holy shit how can people be so bad that they make me feel like i'm good? Then I stop playing... tired of that crap happening over and over again. And it's like that every time. I take a break until a rank reset or 2 or 3... Then I return to the game and proceed to have easy games again until I hit the wall again, rince and repeat. Couple all that with the typical arrogance of the player base and it's a real pain in the ass to play that game. I play for fun, and this is not.

Yeah I'm not sure how this game has like 40k players on at many times and yet the matchmaking is so broken. The ranking system I would swear doesn't actually work.

See, you being bad at the game shouldn't be an issue. You should be matched with people at a similar skill level.

@@chriskilian7529 It should be random

Yes i agree. On killers u rellay on regression. On survivor seconds chances and exhaution. I see more variety on surv, but there is not so much

I literally don't remember my last match against a killer that didn't use bbq and noed and it sucks. They really need to somehow get more variety into the perks, especially for killers. (And don't get me wrong, while I think that noed is basically just a "I am too bad to catch you before Endgame and don't want to admit defeat" sign, I completely understand the use of bbq and hex ruin and all those other popular perks. I rarely play killer, but I use those too... it still sucks.)

Agreed. There’s only a select handful of survivor and killer perks that are actually viable. The rest are just neglected (baby sitter, red herring, cruel limits, mad grit, etc.) or used exclusively for meme/gimmick builds (impossible skill check, window/pallet denial, healing mid chase, all eye perk build, etc.) if the “non-meta” perks were buffed it would also make a few adept achievements much easier, if you’re into those.

That's the hard part about an asymmetrical game. When it's a 4v1, you're stuck trying to find 4 people of the same caliber as 1 person.

@@TheDreadedJuggernaut And at the same time, the same caliber of the other 3 of your team (if you're survivor).

Yes. This is basically the reason you can’t have those high level skill brackets that Tofu refers to - it has to be possible to get to rank 1 relatively easily each month, so there’s no way to meaningfully differentiate high-rank players.

🤣

I agree.

so fun *residentsleeper*

Yeah, but it’s something that needs to be done. Honestly I don’t think there’s a clear cut solution either though. DBD at its core is meant to be a casual experience. At least to me that seems to be what the devs want. You can’t get rid of the rank system all together or else noob survivors and killers are gonna get stomped by god level players and not want to play. But if you do MMR and get yourself stuck playing only the highest level, then the people at the higher ends are gonna have a terrible time. Especially since the game is balanced towards the more mid ranks and lower end of the high ranks

The root of all problems is that Jigsaw doesn't talk to me back when I play Pig :(

@@zizoegy8460 died

It's exactly what they are doing.

Exactly! The devs would need some very intricate stats to get even remotely close to a proper idea of what's going on in matchmaking. Maybe when the game first started and it was much more barebones, the stats they are using were useful. But now there are so many variables that I'm assuming whatever stats they are using are obsolete and insignificant.

I can tell you're an academic. You just wrote a paragraph of absolutely nothing whilst reaffirming to someone else of how smart they are. Take a hike

I do not like when people say "a perfect matchmaking system would result in sweat-fests and I don't want that." Well, WHAT DO YOU WANT? In truth, what they want is to win without effort. As players get better, the game WILL become sweaty. That's the nature of competition. You cannot simultaneously want good matchmaking while also not wanting sweat fests. EDIT: Sorry, to be clear, I'm agreeing with you.

yeah, agreed. the unbalances have to come out in order for balancing to happen.

As a purple rank killer main. I agree with these points, its pretty difficult keeping pressure. I've watched videos on how to pressure the map. Even tho some of my chases last less than thirty seconds, gens still manage to pop left and right. By the time i hook my first survivor, They already have two gens done. Maybe i need to figure out a better strategy or use better perks. I started playing DBD when the Twins were added, so it might be a reason why i'm still kinda garbage. (Nice to meet another xbox player btw)

@@callmedisappointment I have some oppressive perks when I play Demogorgon (BBQ, Surge, Corrupt, and Save) and I get gen rushed like crazy. Even if I start getting pressure, the moment I start a chase I lose it all quickly.

It honestly just depends on what you actually want from the game. By its very nature of a 4 v 1 you have to play dirty if you want to get consistent 4ks. Without snowball moments you won't get a 4k. If you think about it though if you get 4ks or even 3ks by rinse and repeat chasing and downing players one by one then the game would be too easy killer wise. The game has intentionally been altered to ensure that survivors will be caught eventually regardless of skill so if you don't need a snowball moment then you would just kill everyone every match with the exception of the occasional lucky hatch. By snowball moments, I mean downing two people at once etc. leading to a shut out... things like that. You have to remember that this isn't dark souls or something, it's 4 other humans that you are up against and not AI. As such, it will take time to figure out how to gain those advantages to flip the game. You can't really watch a video on it to show you what to do because what to do is ever evolving and will just be figured out over time. All that said, the ranking system is effectively optional much like achievements. Your goal should always be first and foremost to have fun. This could be through learning to get better, but I think everyone should always remember that this game is intentionally designed to have a high degree of variance. Realms, add ons, items, map tiles, pallet position all have a heavy effect on the outcome of the match, not to mention perk selection and killer selection. By perks I mean for example something like Balanced Landing can be amazing or utterly useless depending on the map. You could bring DS and the killer could just slug you. Likewise, you could have Ruin for example and the map puts your hex totem right next to a survivor at spawn or just in some obvious place. You can of course learn to mind game your way to a better position over time and develop your skills, but you're always going to have moments where you are outplayed, by either the opposing side or the game itself. Hence the memes like "You spawned in a dead zone right next to the killer, gg idiot learn to play" or "There's safe pallets placed between the main building and killer shack, guess you're getting looped the entire game, gg idiot" etc. you get the idea. Remember rank truly doesn't matter and what is most important is that you have fun. If you are interested in getting better that will naturally come over time as long as you keep a healthy level of introspection about your actions in any given match.

Not a bad idea, have the sweats duel their boring playstyles out against eachother while the casuals get to have fun matches. Then again it's probably difficult to have an automatic system that ranks people into those categories. Sweats do gens, save and have chases and casuals do the same just not as effectively, you can barely tell the difference for sole players. Dbd's simplicity once again beats itself up.

Yeah, that doesn't get fixed. Parties overrule the matchmaking. I'm curious to know if the game considers the top player in the party or not.

@@kdmendonk it sometimes feels like it does. I'm still kinda new to the game and my buddies are red ranks and we frequently go up against red rank killers. Every once in a while we run against a purple but majority of the time we go against red ranks.

@@goblinmobboss I guess that's better. Parties on coms can ruin many perks and killers. I play Ghostface and SWF are difficult to surprise. There's always someone saying "heads up, he went in your direction." So stalking becomes a pain even from difficult angles which wastes time and gens get done. I dodge some lobbies which means I sometimes take 10 minutes to get into a match. Not because I want an easy match, but because I want a fair one.

@@kdmendonk It actually priorities the lobby host, at least in my experience. At the time I used to boost some trophies with some people, we would make person with same rank as the killer lobby hoster and it would work most of the time.

@@justwatch7091 that's interesting. I haven't really noticed that. Sometimes when I host it hasn't seemed to be any different.

Won’t change anything, after a short go me we’d all be red again

It would be much more difficult to reach rank 1 and would fix the high ranking problems. Just my opinion

@@bodza12 it wouldn’t be harder it would just take more time. And assuming the reset still went from 1-5 then you would be red rank again in a day after each reset

@@johnwarner4178 My idea would be that when you reaching lvl1 now it would be level10.Still would be red rank.But we could have more place then for other tiers including the rank 1.Lets say I would put Gold rank with gold borders and and other one for diamond after level 10.

No, please don't ever say that again. Get Bond if you want information. Or get some Fri to play with you. Nobody wants to be yelled at by little kids that aren't even allowed to play the game yet. Or listen to some shit in the background of someone who doesn't know how PTT works

Speaking facts 100%

I know the feeling. Oh lets try that new killer i've never played and barely understand... Proceeds to get destroyed and bullied... Oh, I thought matchmaking was supposed to rank each of my killers individually, hence why i can't change killer once queued up and therefore, should have an easier match in my first few games... I guess it was a fluke, lets try again... Same result... I'm probably just unlucky at that point, let's try one more time... Bam! Ok, i'm out...
