Dead by Daylight – October Community Stream Recap

Summary

Whether you were able to tune in live (thanks!) or you're dropping by to get a tl;dr, we're here to give you a recap of some highlights from today's community stream:

MMR UPDATE

As you may remember, back in 10.1.0, we updated how MMR is calculated. While kills and escapes continue to be an aspect of MMR calculations, they are no longer the only thing used to calculate these values. Now, we also factor in a wide range of actions that help progress the game – think, emblems.
Of course, certain aspects of the MMR have stayed the same. Namely, Killers keep their individual MMR ratings, Survivor share their MMR, matchmaking prioritizes wait times over exact MMR matching, and MMR gains/losses are calculated by comparing Killers and Survivors against each other in a match.
Since making this change in 10.1.0, we've been keeping a close eye on this system and recently noticed that Survivors' Altruism wasn't giving as much MMR as it should have.
To make sure altruistic play is correctly rewarded, we made an adjustment to our MMR system earlier this week (thanks to the adjustable elements of the algorithm), increasing this value. We'll continue to keep a close eye on how this impacts players' MMR and matchmaking before making any further changes.
