PLEASE, PLEASE create unranked matchmaking
When you first hit red ranks, it might initially seem like you've hit a milestone or achieved something notable. What really happens is that you are thrust into the most aggravating games with the worst of the worst that this community has to offer. No, I'm not talking about players who are bad at the game or don't know how to play. I'm talking about the absolutely most toxic players that exist within this community.
Survivors pose just as much of a threat as the killer does, because for some reason, once you surpass purple rank, everyone forgets about teamwork, and plays exclusively for selfish reasons. It's not uncommon to be repeatedly sandbagged by the same person over and over again throughout a match or farmed to death because the only thing they care about is obtaining enough points to keep their precious pip, or finish a challenge.
The killers bring moris or their most tryhard loadouts 9/10 games, even when no survivor brings items or offerings themselves. It seems as if their only intention is to make everyone suffer as much as possible, even when it doesn't benefit them in any way(obtaining less bloodpoints).
What do I want to do when I play this game? Pretty simple, I just want to have fun and enjoy the match. That doesn't mean that I feel like if I didn't survive the match, then I didn't have fun. I don't have to win to enjoy the game. The problem is that these red rank killer mains play the game like it's an e-sport and the survivors play like they aren't on a team at all. I don't want to play like it's an e-sport where I'm forced to stress myself out if I want any hope of scraping by throughout the round.
I don't play poorly enough that I don't pip most games, so I am forced into this by default. The only hope I have to have fun is to wait for rank reset where I don't have to be put into games with sweatlords each and every single time or play intentionally so bad that I can depip long enough to de-rank back into purple. But this doesn't last, it doesn't take very long before I am pipped straight back into red and the cycle continues.
There really should be a de-ranked version of matchmaking for people like myself who want to be removed from this vicious cycle. I'm sure you would still get some of the same folks going into unranked matchmaking, but I've found that for a lot of the players that I speak of, they hold a strong affinity for their super epic rank symbol next to their name. Let them torment each other in red ranks since that's where they obviously want to be. For me though, it's not fun in any way whatsoever.
Devs please consider this.
