Would you be upset if pips & rank moved behind the scenes?
I have lately developed the opinion that removing pips and rank from player's view would greatly improve the health of this game. I think the concepts should be kept for the matchmaking algorithm but why do we need to see them? Personally I would be happy just seeing how many bloodpoints I earned at the end if the match.
In my experience, seeing rank before a match can alter how players interact with the rest of the survivor team. And yes, many will claim that they aren't a team but I think people would work together better if they didn't know the difference in their ranks.
Also, red ranks seems to be an incredibly contentious place to be. I have a theory why. When you are low rank and get destroyed by a killer, you don't feel as bad if they are several ranks higher. It's easier to just let it go. But I imagine this is difficult when you're vying for a top spot.
What do other people think? Would making pips and rank a purely unseen matchmaking component be better for the game and community?

Meh. BHVR relies at least a bit on the feedback of the community. And making it impossible for people to see is not the right way to get feedback.

Do you think feedback regarding pips and rank have any direct correlation to gameplay feedback?

I think yes, because for example some people couldn't saw, that they are playing on red ranks against a red ranks killer with two yellow ranks teammates.
Or killers couldn't see, that they blackpipped after a 4k.

Yes, but that would be the point. Pipping and rank cause so much outrage why not just get rid of them and have two less things for people to be outraged about.
Why does the killer need to see whether they pippedd or not? They also wouldn't know their rank so what's to get upset about? People are constantly saying that rank doesn't really reflect skill in this game so why show us what rank we are?
