i’m at my wits ends with this game, why is it every game I’ve played since about rank 15 has there been at least 3 red ranks in my game? And why is it nearly impossible to pip as killer at the moment?

    The matchmaking system has been broken for months and the community has been endlessly making posts about it but nothing's changed.

    As a fellow killer main and even as a rank 1 it is still often frustrating to win against red rank survivors, but here's my advice

    1-Work on your technique, your mindgames, your movement to gain the most distance you can on a survivor, when to give up a chase and look for other vulnerable survivors, when to slug, your map knowledge.

    Every single one of these elements matter in the red ranks

    2- Find a killer within the first two tiers THAT YOU ENJOY to main, then find a loadout for him (all over the internet, once you become familiar you can make your own god builds). Don't keep switching from killer to killer because of a loss, maybe its just sweaty survivors this match.

    3-This is up to you, but you can try and dodge SWF, swf teams are often organized with their builds and communication is very strong giving them the upper hand. However eventually you learn that a large portion of them is overaltruistic and will be able to counter.
