2nd week of playing DBD. Sounds pseud as fuck but I'm certain I have much better game knowledge than most new players because I consumed a lot of DBD content before buying the game. Not sure how much it matters but I get the highest score pretty consistently. I usually also pull more than my "share" of work.

I read new players' MMR isn't settled yet and also people say the matchmaking sucks anyway but I have no idea how I'm supposed to climb to a higher MMR bracket when I get other new players in lobby with me who simply exist to be farmed. There's no other way to describe it. Someone who didn't read abilities before playing might get hit by Legion for the first time, neglect mending, and then go down. But after that surely you would go "oh so THAT'S what the shrinking yellow bar and the 'left click to mend self' prompt is for!" and the next time it happens you'd know what to do. I just met teammates who get downed by Legion bleed MULTIPLE TIMES in the same match, genuinely nonsentient people

I think a big problem with this game is a good(or merely decent) survivor player can't carry that hard but a dogshit survivor player can torpedo the entire match. I'm not good at looping or anything yet but I think I'm a *decent* player with alright game knowledge. I don't fail skillchecks, I do gens, I know to try for gens in the middle of the map if possible to avoid easy 3-gens, etc. But I can't win any games because every single match the killer is racking up 4K's. With Bond and Kindred and the teammate activity icon I'm seeing people spend entire minutes doing nothing but walk around. Non-AFK players with 6000 points at the endgame scoreboard.

Is it just a bad time to be a new player? Should I get my friends to buy the game just so I can build up my MMR to a bracket where people aren't brain damaged?

...Who the hell TALKS like this? It doesn't even make sense in context here, nothing about this scene even comes close to evoking either artist.

This is Penders level dialogue, good lord.
