Can seeing teammates ranks please stay?

As a solo player it gave me so much good info on who to help out incase they were lower and who I knew was higher than me or the same. It was just nice info to have and I really think it should stay.

    Why would it disappear? What’s happening to it?

  • Why matchmaker goes I see you are rank 2 here is a rank 15 killer with no clue what they are doing and like only 2 perks.

    That sounds fun and balanced.

    I never remember who's who and what rank they are anyway, so it doesn't even matter to me. Still, I pay more attention to their Survivor's level than actual overall rank. I, personally, suck when I'm very first beginning to level up a Survivor with no Perks or tools and my overall Survivor rank is 11.

    It really is a helpful tool on whether or not you're going to be the one carrying or be the one being carried for the whole game.

    Or you all will be working together because your skill levels are actually similar to one another.

    I like that you wanna help other, but mostly i see people leaving because that rank 19 claudette. 🙄

    I typically don't leave just because of that Rank 20 Steve, because there's a good chance the killer is the same rank he is.

    That's nice to hear. I did not mean a specific person if you thought so.

    You mean no one has complained about the feature since it was implemented so why are they removing it? You're right, but player complaints aren't the only thing the devs take into account when making adjustments to the game (contrary to what many people believe).

    I've wanted this for a long time and was very pleased when i first saw it. Sadly, it was just a tease. Guess i'll go back to only playin sporadically.

    I'm just legit shocked since it's a bug some people liked.

    I honestly thought this was a QOL feature for solo Survivors until I read the 3.4.0 patch notes.

    I really hope BHVR reconsiders and lets it stay.

    I mostly saw people using it as a tool to dodge lobbies. This extends the time it takes to get a match.

    I am neutral on it, but I am leaning towards it being bad for the game.

    Well the level of survivor is still available. So I suppose one can infer that at level 10 they should have at least three perks slotted, whatever those perks may be, and since the game offers the three unique perks at the start the player has three perks they can use by default regardless of what the bloodweb throw up.

    We will never know the killer's level. And by level I mean the level between 1-50.

    I played a match this morning on the PTB and noted the loss of ranks. I was rank 16 on the PTB. I got matched with a rank 16 a rank 19 and a rank 20. The killer was rank 20. The killer had full green perks from multiple killers. So to be honest rank is relevant but its what perks they are running that may make the difference.

    I would like to see rank for survivor remain available, if queing solo. If I am in a SWF I see the rank anyway. That would let a SWF teanm of two or three see they have a solo queing with them.

    I like seeing their ranks but not all that crazy about prestige level as I don't feel like using the bloody heads as often to show off XD

    I have enjoyed DBD twice as much since this was implemented, and I hope it doesn't go away.

    I am going to admit that I use it to lobby-dodge. I dodge ranks above green, because I see that as my privilege. I feel i earned the right to play with better players and have a better outcome when I do.

    since I started dodging lobbies with poorly ranked survivors, not only has the quality of my games improved, but I don't get anywhere near the DCs....which is why I started doing it.

    Lets face it...when you see a rank17 person with a P3 player, its obvious that this person disconnects anytime he gets a map or killer he doesn't like, or, he DCs the minute his looping skills are outmatched.

    Please, please, please Behaviour......leave this in so some of us can have the games we deserve because we NEVER DC or give up on a game.

    I know some of you are going to reply with "Don't worry dude, they are going to start punishing DCers", but I am not convinced. The players buy the cosmetics and DLCs, and they can only police so much before they appear unfriendly. I don't think this is the end of it.

    My solution would be to put a credit rating above the survivor for everyone to see, and then let the players punish people who DC on their own. Lets grade people based on the last 30 days, so if someone ruins their credit, they can have a clean slate in 30 days. Take a small amount out for DCs and let a lobby vote to kick them, instead of making top credit players lobby dodge, and we will have good, fast lobbies with people who want to play any game they get.

    i think this is perfect so that Behaviour doesn't become the police and bad guy, and it gives people a chance to play no matter what style they choose to play, or not play. A lobby filled with poor credit teammates, and possibly killer, is a game they can still get until they improve their credit score, and you know what.....30 days of dealing with other people who DC might teach them a thing or two about what they are doing in the game.

    What do you think?

    If they gonna revert it I'm already ready to sacrifice my time and make all rank 20s go and refund their game...

    I agree, everyone seems to think it was really great. I hope they decide to keep it after all.
