Summary
MMR & Matchmaking
The MMR system has been adjusted to better reward altruistic Survivor play. While kills and escapes remain primary factors, the algorithm now places higher value on altruism to ensure players are correctly ranked based on their contribution to the team.
Upcoming Perk Adjustments (v10.3.0)
Several perks are receiving balance tweaks in the next update. Calm Spirit's action speed is being buffed, while Dark Sense will now use a token system to prevent wasted activations. Dark Arrogance is seeing a mix of adjustments to align it closer to its PTB performance, and Slippery Meat is being adjusted to reduce its efficiency in risky unhooks while increasing its Haste benefit.
Mori System Overhaul
A new tiered Mori system is being introduced to clarify gameplay rules. This includes cinematic Finisher Moris for the final survivor, Power Moris triggered by specific Killer abilities, and Short Moris for perks and offerings.
Backend Tunables & Future Updates
A new "Backend Tunables" system will allow developers to push small balance changes (like upcoming tweaks for The Executioner and The Judgment) without requiring a full patch. Looking ahead to January, Update 10.4.0 will bring a medium-sized Killer update and adjustments to 15 perks including Eruption and Sloppy Butcher.
