Make it worth it to be rank 1

So deranking is still a very real thing. People don't feel like getting to rank 1 is worth it each reset, with lobbies taking longer and more try hard killers/survivors. That being said, I would really like to see something in the game similar to Overwatch's top 500, but for Rank 1 in this game.

It's a point system where you're ranked and you can get knocked out of the top so that it keeps people competitive and gives them another reason to grind. Reward people with a cosmetic, offerings, items, anything.
