Watching the Smurf sniff out the Smurf is like watching 2 spies confront each other in secret. Each knows the others’ secret, everyone else in the room is clueless
That's a great comparison. It reminds me of the movie Mr. & Mrs. Smith where they're both spies working for competing agencies. He knows her secret, and she knows his. But nobody else does
I remember someone describing post-SBMM DbD like this: "Your first match will be against players who got the instructions of the game through a chinese candy wrapping, and too bad they don't understand their own language to begin with, let alone what the wrapping says. Once you stomp those players, accidentally or not, your second match will be against players who have snorted 5 lines of g-fuel, downed 10 four loko cans, and they intend to finish the match within 4 minutes to submit the footage to a speedrunning community. When you inevitably lose, you go back to the complete newbies, and the cycle begins."
Why did they even add SBMM if literally everyone hates it? I've heard they initially had a really, really good matchmaking system but they changed it for no conceivable reason.
@@TodaylsTheDay I'm honestly just as baffled as you are. Granted, we're talking about BHVR, who had one of their devs live-on-air defend Hillbilly's Overheat mechanic because: "people worked on it", thus "it'd be disrespectful to throw their hard work away."
@TodaylsTheDay matchmaking used to be determined by your rank, ash, bronze, silver etc. I wouldn't call it a great system, considering it's literally just a measure of how much you played that month. Anyone can reach red rank 1 if they play enough.
@TodaylsTheDay Its become more commonplace in large matchmaking brackets now to do an Elo setup (every MMR system is some form of Elo.) It makes sense theoretically, as the purpose of Elo is to evaluate and place players of a similar skill level in the same bracket with more specificity the more games are played. In practice though, it shows why Elo was specifically created for 1v1 games of skill such as chess. There's too many variables in DBD to determine a true Elo score, on top of the assymetric design. Elo works beautifully for chess because its two people following the same rules playing with the same assets; DBD is clearly not that, so It's incredibly difficult to create an accurate candidate pool in that situation. If skill placement is based on the wrong variables (or even just one wrong variable) the entire system gets screwed up. It can also cause a ton of frustration, because when the system is out of whack it causes pairings to be totally mismatched. The true result of an Elo system are the intense, close games that happen. Thats the "intended" experience, but what many developers don't understand is that randomized skill pool usually works out for a more enjoyable experience on the whole. Thats why back in the day (like 2006-2010) there were separate playlists for Ranked. All of that to say, their algorithm is a bad rendition of the elo system. I hope they fix it, but looking at the statistics they evaluate to see if a killer needs to be buffed or nerfed it'll either never be fixed or it'll be a very long time.
This are the kind of survivors a youtuber will go against to show us how op the new trapper buff is 😂 " i got 4k 10 times in a row perkless as trapper, the new buff is crazy"
Come on whale, baby killers don't know how to lunge attack. XD seriously tho i had a friend play like 40+ killer games and wanted advice, he didn't know how to lunge that one tip made him soooo much better.
The wraith endgame chat was so sweet! I love it! I use my main account to do the same: I don't kill survivors, so my killer MMR is low and I usually go against perkless people. I do it so I don't get destroyed because I'm bad as a killer. Although I'm improving in my own pace I don't need to win or to humiliate baby survivors. We all have a fun game when they get that I need my 8 or 4 hooks, so it's just farming in the end. Not in the bad way tho😅
No offense, but this is some weak energy and mental fortitude. You're so scared of getting demolished, you purposely keep your MMR low to have a safe bubble. Maybe play singleplayer games. This is pathetic.
This made me think of a fun killer challenge: Unbind all keys on your keyboard, and for every 2 survivors that escape, rebind one key until you can get all keys back or you get a 4k at 5 gens
That Feng in your Nurse game was a real gamer. It was so funny watching you go mask off to chase the Feng, while everyone else you pretended to be a baby still
Oh man. I still remember my first match. My killer MMR is still pretty low. I just touched killer for the first time in a year and I am definitely playing eith newer players. They arent exactly babies, but they aren't where my skill is at. Unless I have to kill them, I tend to let everyone go, bring good bp offerings to help them level, etc. I find it super relaxing and sometimes do it to chill out after getting frustrated on survivor. Haha
i remember my very first game so vividly, it was a huntress and i literally ran into her 3 times and got instakilled while my friend with like 100 hours on the game tried so hard to give me tips.
I wish mmr didnt exist. I used to be able to learn new killers but now i only get the 1st match with them that are chill then it seems to go to the mmr of my main killers😢. I'm considering just going back to my survivor main days which are miserable for a whole nother reason😂
Imagine now they add a gen regression perk for new players then you see a nurse with unnerving presence, huntress lullaby, distressing, and (insert new regression perk here)... I'm down
Damn I miss when I first started playing. Now I know all these things and other people know them too. The most fun I had is when I played games with noobs as a noob. Actual party game feel
Top tier content love every minute of this!!! Professor pain was great!!! *on a side note I don't think they know you can pallet stun, maybe that's why they weren't going for it.*
Honestly I'm at about 150 hours played now and whenever I play my main killers, still almost every lobby has baby survivors that seem like they've never played a game before. The only time I get good lobbies is when I'm playing a killer I suck at for a challenge because the game just wants me to suffer. I played against a P400 bully squad in my first Billy (My worst killer) game.
I swear the time of day can affect what kind of teams you get! Sometimes I switch and it seems to help with that at least partially (still will get a random match or two of babies here and there, but I mostly play solo survivor instead of killer). So, if you're used to playing at night, try to play in the afternoon instead, or vice versa, if you're used to playing in the daytime try a couple of matches in the evening. It at least guarantees a different player set than you're used to (when I play several matches at a certain time of day I will usually recognize at least one name from playing with them sometime before).
