    On the day of the Rank-Reset I got the notification that my ranks resetted, however when I was playing survivor I had the same rank as the day before. Only after closing the game once it was changed to my "actual" rank

    Game does this every month on the 13th a soft rank reset down 1 color. If red you'll go to mid purple, if purple --> mid green ranks. IDK the exact methods the game uses but you shouldn't have any trouble climbing back up to your proper ranking.

    A few months after I first started playing rank reset took me from rank 9 to 16. I didn't get to play very often back then. If I got to play 3 hours during the weekend it was a lot. It had taken me several months to get to 9. I would gain 3 or 4 ranks every month and lose 2 or 3 to rank reset. It was really frustrating. Took me almost 6 months to get back to a 9 after that. Never knew why I got pushed back so far on that one.

    sry for the misunderstanding but after 2400h I know what a rank reset is ^^

    i mean I got pushed further away than usual. I play on the daily bases. After the reset from 13th as a survivor I was already in red ranks again and my killer got back to R9 because I prepare for an adept-achievement-run with trapper, billy and LF.

    But today After I logged in I noticed that I’m R9 as a survivor and R14 killer.

    How does it take you 6 months to get back to rank 9?

    It's incredibly easy to pip at yellow, green, purple ranks. Plus the players at that level aren't very good.

    For example I got reset to rank 17 as killer, I still got back to rank 1 in the same season.

    Yeah, but how many matches would you have to play to do that?..... As I said, I was playing at most 3 or 4 hours per week. Some weeks it was less than that. Some weeks I didn't get to play at all. I was probably averaging 20 matches in a whole month. Seeing as there are 32 pips between 16 and 9 I would have had to average 1.6 pips per match to get from 16 to 9 in a months time. Considering I wasn't averaging 1.6 pips per match that didn't happen. I did pip most matches, but 20 matches in a month doesn't get you very far. I would actually drop 3 or 4 ranks in the very limited matches I played and then lose 3 or so to rank reset each month. That's a net gain of 1 rank per month.

    I was rank 1 killer, I'm rank 12... Giving a bad time to survivors...

    I got to rank 1 from rank 5 as survivor in two nights, it's a lot harder to pip at red ranks then it is at yellow and green ranks. I probably only played 5 to 6 days as survivor last season. I just double pip a lot.

    I'm not someone who plays DBD every day, I'll often go weeks without playing DBD. For me it's harder to stay away from rank 1 then it is to get to rank 1.

    Anyway rank doesn't matter in this game, before the rank reset changes it's only purpose was to separate the casual players from the competitive players. With this current rank reset system it doesn't even do that, due to how easy it is to get to red ranks on both sides.

    I would love a double rank reset for killer.

    it is kinda awesome. I stopped playing killer to avoid ranking up and now I’m R14 which gives me enough room to get the adept for the rest of the roster.

    My friend didn't even get rank reset. She was rank 3 and now she's rank 4. She only got set back 1 rank for killer and survivor while she should've gone down to purple ranks.

    There is a common visual glitch that shows the player not dropping in rank divisions.
