Rank change idea similar to hearthstone

 tl:dr at bottom

For anyone who has played hearthstone you can see how similar the ranking system are to each other if not i will give a quick explanation

In hearthstone you rank up from 25-1 needing to get “stars” the same as pips in DBD

But the main thing they differs from the two games is at rank 1 in hearthstone you still need to get star to get to the next rank “legend” and once you are in legend you can never get demoted out of legend, you just go up and down from rank 1 all the want down to rank however many people are in legend. So if there are only 100 people in legend then the lowest you can go is ranked 100 ( but i have seen as many as 20k on Chinese server) also just like DBD the “season” last 1 month with resetting at the 1st of every month

Your rank is almost like you place on the “leader board”

And that part is where i feel like dbd should add a “rank” after rank 1. A name I thought it could be called is “purgatory” that is basically what the entity world is and the point of the rank after rank 1 is you can leave or get demoted out of it just like purgatory. it also goes with the whole spooky theme of DBD

With something after rank 1 it also give people something more to do in the game. I feel like at first people might not like it because people might feel like killer/survivors might get more sweaty to get rank 1 but i think that would only happen at first and in the long run it would be better for the game

“Rank reward”

Now this is something that needs to be added and here a few ideas

In hearthstone they have monthly rewards and the rewards depended on the highest rank you got and the reward have stuff like gold (used to buy card packs), dust(use to craft cards) and golden version of cards.

Another game that has reward for rank is overwatch. After the reset you get “competitive points” and the amount you get depends on the highest rank you got in the season.

“competitive points” is a currency that can only be obtained from the season reward and they are used to get golden guns for your hero.

So the rewards BHVR could give are obvious ones like blood point, iridescent shards, and maybe auric cells

Other not so obvious rewards they could give are teachables ( and if you have the teachables you can just get blood point like if you buy one from the shrine of secrets), a new currency to but certain cosmetics, maybe blood party streamers and escape cake/ survivor pudding and many other thing.

TL;DR

  1. Add a rank after rank 1 called purgatory like the legend rank is hearthstone
  2. Add season rewards like blood point, teachables, or a new currency for cosmetics
