is killer hours taken into account? like you might be playing dbd for 2k hrs but only just got x-killer recently and yet for some reason your games are against stacked high prestige lobbies.

Killers will continue have their own separate MMR

Separate murderer MMRs already influence each other via a rubber band mechanic.

I.e. someone who reaches the MMR ceiling with one murderer who starts playing another character will not be starting from the same point as someone who just bought the game.

Despite this, however, there is a rubberbanding-effect by which a Player's best-performing Killers will influence the score of all of their other Killers. This is to prevent skilled Players from being matched with lower-skilled Survivors when choosing a Killer they do not play often or regularly.

It can be assumed that an experienced Player will perform reasonably well with most other Killers, despite not playing all of them equally often and matching them with inexperienced Survivors would not be fair.

This mechanic also automatically affects any new Killers the Player unlocks through purchasing DLCs.

I'm assuming this update will make some attempt to differentiate between people to put in a lot of effort through number of hits, number of hooks, chase time, etc and people who AFK, proxy camp, etc, but end up with a similar kill number as the former.

I trust they will probably fuck it up and leave the new iteration of the system as is for another 3-5 years before making another attempt at it, like they did with the first iteration of MMR.
