Why isn't there a casual queue and a separate ranked one?

I would enjoy a mode where I could just be paired with the first 4 Survivors/Killer combination available regardless of rank. I feel like if it were setup in a way where players wouldn't gain or lose rank but just played to play a lot of people would enjoy it. From a survivor's perspective I wouldn't mind getting tunneled into the ground, camped, or 4k'd in this mode if I could immediately find a new game. It could be limited to just a queue for getting blood points and not be able to complete daily's or tome objectives. Hell they could offer +50% blood points for playing ranked as incentive but for people that just want to play and don't care about what rank they get paired against there should be an option.

    Agree I would love that too. The casual mode should not have the DC penalty aswell thought. This mode would help new players to get used too the game. They can maybe lock this mode for ppl with atleast 2 devotion levels maybe? So experienced players cant "smurf" there maybe.

    I don't think it should matter if people want to smurf just to get their e-peen hard by flexing on casuals so be it. If they get nothing out of it aside from blood points i think they will lose interest real quick.

    Same. I've gotten to a point where I don't care for my rank but I am sad that I can't just have fun and not have to sweat to avoid making the game unenjoyable for my team.

    Because the game is casual af.

    You can't really call a game competitive when it has Keys & Mories in it that greatly sway the match one way or the other.

    Yeah I guess I just don't care about ranks, I just want to be able to play when i want without waiting forever. Its super annoying to wait 10 minutes and die 2 minutes into the game and then go back to waiting again. I can't imagine new players want to come back for more of this and its got to hurt new player retention when they spend more time wait than they do actually playing.
