Hunt Showdown MMR rating rant

**Being high MMR in Hunt makes it impossible to just play casually**

I'm currently around 3800 MMR, high 6 star, and I'm honestly getting tired of this matchmaking system.

I'm sick of playing against 3 KD players who sweat their asses off every single game. Every fight feels like a tournament, people hold angles forever, play passively and punish every little mistake. Sometimes you barely see a shoulder before you're already dead.

I just want to play Hunt, get into some fun fights and mess around without feeling like I have to try my absolute hardest every single match.

And the stupid thing is that even if I wanted to drop to 5 star, it would take ages, I'd probably just kill a few players and then I'd gain all that MMR back after a handful of good games anyway.

The way MMR works makes dropping feel almost pointless. If you're consistently getting around 2 kills per game, it feels almost impossible to lower your rating. Even if you end up dying and losing the match, you can still gain MMR from the kills. You're basically stuck unless you deliberately throw game after game.

Yesterday after a week of not playing I dropped to around 3400 MMR, got a few kills in two matches, actually had fun playing agressively and ended up back at 3800. Imagine how long it would take to drop all the way to 5\* if only a few good games can undo so much progress.

And no, I don't want to deliberately play badly just to lower my rating either. That sounds just as miserable as sweating every game. I'm not going to spend dozens of matches throwing fights, making stupid decisions and forcing myself to play like an idiot just to get into a different matchmaking bracket. That isn't fun either.

So what am I supposed to do? Stay at high MMR and keep playing against people with 3 KD who treat every match like a competitive tournament, or deliberately tank my rating just to stomp people who aren't on my level?

I don't want to pubstomp worse players. I just want to enjoy the game without every single lobby feeling like a fucking sweatfest. I just dont want to sweat my ass off every single game - which is not fun and actually get away from this high 6\* prison.

**Being good at Hunt shouldn't mean you're permanently stuck choosing between sweating every game and ruining the game for people who are worse than you.**

Does anyone else at high MMR feel the same way?
