It's too hard to rank up as The Plague

The Plague has a very hard time pipping at high rank because people don't cleanse. This makes it very hard to raise your Devious category.

I will often get a 4k and get brutal killer, or 3k and a D/C and actually Depip.

I love playing The Plague but you can't be competitive with her atm. It needs fixed.

    Her chaser is absolutely atrocious. Her bp gain is abysmal. She needs some QOL changes to fix her bp gain and her power from becoming completely useless.

    I still don't get why some people care about ranks. There's no incentive to rank up yet.

    Plague is perfect for this because she is horrible at ranking up but such a broken killer that it's piss easy to 4k with her.

    DBD is not a competitive game. People just tend to take it more seriously than they should.

    Play who you think is fun, not who you think will rank you up in a pointless ranking system.

    They should add a scoring event for hitting survivors who are broken and/or give people more reason to cleanse. I hate not having half my power and basically being locked out of an entire BP category

    People care about rank because its shoved in their face every several seconds and the game makes it very annoyingly clear when it believes you've done poorly. It's not about the benefit, it just starts to become annoying when the game is basically telling you that you're garbage because your killer is sub-par or because survivors are doing gens too quickly when its out of your control. Same could even go for survivors when they get insta-mori'd and depip for it.

    Agreed.

    Her point gains are atrocious. This especially caused by the lack of ever getting to use her power for Deviousness.

    to be honest they should rework every killers emblems. each killer should have unique scoring. like the trappers chase points too

    It is nuts how Legion gets Brutal Killer for the same exact type of match that would give Entity Displeased for any other killer. I have got merciless multiple times with one escaping via hatch with Legion.

    I find running Thanto seems to encourage cleansing unless they are SWF, and a good SWF messes with every killer's score.

    Good swf wins for free usually.
