Rank 1 matchmaking needs to be fixed

Not exactly sure where to put this on this forum, but I figured general would be good enough.

Anyway, rank 1-3 matchmaking for killers needs to be sorted out. I've been in so many lobbies where it takes between 5 - 10 minutes to find survivors, even then, they'd quit out anyway despite good ping. Compare that to the ranks below 4, it takes less than a minute. Can something be done about this?

    Probably not as only small percentage of people reach red ranks in the first place

    I'm rank 18 and it's 15m to get a lobby or longer , so it's nothing to do with your rank.

    I found survivors within a minute when I was that rank. I think it does have something to do with how high your rank is.

    Yeah , when YOU were.
    NOW I am at that rank and I wait 15 minutes or longer for the 1st survivor to get into my lobby.
    It's broken.
    Your rank doesn't have anything to do with that issue, it's a different thing.

    My queue doesn't even take 10 seconds as survivor though.

    Yeah, I started rank 17/16 in patch 2.1.0, never took me that long to find a game.

    The problem is you "got gud" when you should have "stay bad kid".
    I don't claim to be an expert but with everyone yelling these two things i assume they must be true.

    Seems like the best way to go about it is being bad XD

    Rank 1 is supposed to take long. (it should)
    Rank 1 reflects the most skilled players in this game, obviously there are not that many of them. If you reach the highest rank in any other competitive game, lol, dota, starcraft or whatever, you will actually wait ages to find opponents on grandmaster or whatever it is called.

    In DBD its a different story because every pleb can get rank 1.... just saying

    I know it probably takes a lot longer to rank up as a survivor, compared to killers anyway, but I also get ranks anywhere between 2 - 5 at times.

    That's not completely true anymore after the SB nerf etc rank 1-2 has been some lobbies I've seen the exact 10-25 ppl each time. It's gotten to the point we all know each others plays tyles so well there's never any hands signs etc. We all know pretty much where each other are on the map at any given time and who's going for unhooks when and how. Where they'll run when unhooked and the killers are mostly the same as well.
