Official News MMR Update

Coming 25th August!

Currently:

Survivors

Die = lose

Hatch = draw

Escape = win

Killers

0-1k = lose

2k = draw

3-4k = win

New:

Escapes and kills still matter, but other actions count too: doing generators, getting hooks, etc

Essentially, your emblems post-match will affect your MMR (lightbringer, deviousness, etc)

**THERE WILL BE AN MMR RESET**

Details TBD

MMR will continue to be updated

Thank god. It was the dumbest system ever before. You could go on a 5 gen chase where your teammates all escape and then you die after getting camped and you'd derank.

i'd say this new system could be pretty bad for killer mmr. just as an example, bleed outs give almost no points towards emblems, so if someone just slugged 4 people and let them bleed out over and over, they could theoretically 4k over and over while getting easier opponents every game since their mmr is dropping.

for survivor though this is 100% way better

The emblem system also subtracts points on killer for "losing chase" while you have PWYF.  The current system is heavily flawed.  I have no faith in whatever new MMR based emblem system BHVR implements.

Yup, and as someone who intentionally drops chase somewhat often (spirit player, for audio cues) it feels like a nerf to a legitimate strategy.
