How am i even supposed to rank-up as a killer ?

I'm still Rank 17 as a Killer, i wanna learn and rank-up, and even just have fun, but the same scenario happens every time:

It takes me 20 minutes to find a lobby composed of only one or two survivors, i then have to wait at least 5 minutes to see the lobby filled with Survivors.. then having to go through the loading screen ( which takes a while ), to end up having the game canceled because somebody disconnected while the game was loading..

I know it's more of a rant, but still, how am i even supposed to rank-up as killer if i keep facing this issue ?

    Just wait until you go against SWF, you will be thankful for those solo survivors!

    Play Legion. Not joking since that's how I reached red ranks.

    Also, don't worry about ranking up because rank barely matters.

    Don't try to rank up, the game only gets less fun

    Welp, ironically right after writing this post, i had a bunch of good games against Yellow ranks.. Looks like things got better. The problem was that when i was below rank 16, i almost never found matches, but luckily i did and now i'm yellow rank.

    Ok, here you go:

    1. If you're on console remember killer is host, so, check your connection
    2. Break pallets and/or gens and use your killer's ability, don't just go around smacking everyone to get a fast 4k even if it's a "noob survivors" lobby
    3. Get everyone through all hooks until you kill them at the 3rd hook (don't camp to get them to loose a stage)
    4. Let them unhook by going away and letting survivors get safe rescues, then come back for the hero, not the previous victim.
    5. Slug the 3rd victim to assure the 4th doesn't get the hatch and get the 4k

    If you do all of these you'll get a double pip almost every game (I'm a red ranks killer, xbox) and people will hardly DC cause you didn't camp and gave a fun game for everyone.

    IMPORTANT: If you're not a great killer without tunneling or camping find the one you're good with cause pips and BP come for bolder killers who let survivors have a chance.

    IMPORTANT 2.0: If you just like killing others and to feel the power of the killer you're using don't worry about pips or BP, just have fun killing everyone by whatever means necessary

    To people saying i shouldn't think too much about ranking up, the reason i said that is because below Rank 15 it is extremely difficult to find a game. In fact it takes usually more than 15 minutes and i often end up in almost-empty lobbies. But again this time i was lucky enough.

    Yes by respecting these few rules i actually managed to get a couple of 4K games.

    What would you call " overperforming killers " ? I usually play as Wraith, Legion, Huntress and Doctor.
