If you care about Rank / MMR Score...
Vote up this post.
I think we should be shown something that indicates our skill level.
For me DBD is competitive, i dont play for just fun. I play to be better than my opponent.
All the games i play, R6 Siege, BF5, Gears of war, ect i play to be better than my enemy. How can you make a 4v1 game and not give us a rank or something to show us skill or something for us to improve on.
How are me and my buddy going to race back to rank 1 on the 13th each month? Or have bragging rights about whos better than who?
Like when i was new to the game i use to study the emblem system at the end of my games to see what i needed to do more of the next game to make sure i got my pip up next game.
Now your telling us your going to do away with all of this and give us some janky unknown invisible score that we have no way of knowing what it is or how to improve it to become better?
If i wanted a casual game i would go hop on mud runners or some sandbox game. Im on dbd because its a 4v1 objective based competitive game that isnt a shooter game which is different and very fun.
Dont take dbd into the crappy uncompetitive game type. Make a casual game mode that doesnt include rank so all the potatoes can go have fun and goof off in that game mode.
When i que up i wanna get paired with sweaty experienced red rank killers who are going to put my gameplay knowledge and skills to the test, while also getting sweaty experienced survivors that know what there doing and have my back in this all out sweaty top tier sweat fest, and when the games over i wanna see how experienced my team mates were as well as myself and the killer.
The community is already toxic and i would say the majority of us enjoy the competitive nature of the game now.
Ha im done now. End of rant lol

I do enjoy the casual nature of the game and I don't want it to become competitive, almost every game has one already.

Just because yku want it to be competive it doesnt mean everone wants it.
Also imagine you think you are better because you got a higher rank than others..

Its not about me wanting it to be competitive, thats how they created the game.
How is this not a competitive game? Its a 4v1 objective based horror game.
I think its the other way around, the game itself is competitive already and alot of non experienced players are wanting the rank to disappear so itll lean more towards non competitive play.
Just stupid to build your player base off of one game design and then in year 4 of the game there gonna switch up the whole play style of the game?
And yes i imagine i am better than the majority of dbd players i come across. Lots of boosted red ranks up there and some people got the skill to back up there rank and some people dont.
Doesnt mean we still dont like seeing rank 1 beside our name.

You taking this casual game competitively doesnt make it competetive.
This isnt siege of GoW. Its 1v4 horror simulator.

I'd prefer to keep it a slow as I can on killer, at least the killers I'd rather use, and as high as I can usually as survivor so I can mooch off better teammates and have some good scary moments.

How is this game a casual game? This isnt gta5 where you just load up and do whatever you want.
You load into a match with a set objective each match and a team to accomplish said objective and as the game is of now your givin a rank assigned to you to try and work your way up to rank 1.
How is that not competitive?

This game isn't very competitive. How many tournaments have been hosted? How easy is it to do a tournament?
Also, you can't make a game with Ormond, Haddonfield, fractured cowshed, blood lodge, mother's dwelling, keys, moris, iri head, DS, unbreakable etc, exist. This game needs to fix its maps and add-ons to be competitive. Also, people who play casually shouldn't be considered potatoes, that's just ignorant.

Dont get me wrong, i alos would love the game to get more competive since i also play pretty much only play competive but you let it sound like that everyone who doesnt want to play / cant play competive is complete trash and a worser class of human.
Thats just how it sound like to me.
But also, just because its a 4vs1, it doesnt mean it is meant to be competive. Also as far as i know the devs themselfses once said the game was never meant to be competive but i could be wrong with this.

No im saying that there is a clear line of people who are sweaty and not sweaty.
Some players load up and just have fun what happens happens.
Then you have players like me who have researched the technical parts of the game like exactly how long it takes to health with a med kit or exactly how many charges it takes to get a sabo off ect so that i can be as efficient and optimal all game to give myself the advantage.
Im not saying people who dont play competitive style like me are trash, im saying id rather be paired with more advanced like minded survivors like me rather than just the average dbd player whos just having a good time and doesnt really care to learn all the technical aspects of the game.
This is why we need a lobby for ranked and another lobby for unranked.
Edit : when i search for solo que i want other survivors who are working hard to level up like myself not someone who doesnt care weather he dies or lives or how the game goes.
If your someone who doesnt care about your rank a unranked lobby would be perfect they could just throw all the people who just wanna have fun and goof off in unranked.
Then you would have ranked for the sweaty more competitive players.

Then sorry for missunderstooding.
I agree with most of the points but the problem is if you add a ranked mode and a casual mode, the queue times will take even longer.

also if it would become competive there are tons of things that needs balancing like moris, keys and even hatch. I dont think it should be possible in a competive game to escpae through the hatch when you did nothing just because your mates died. They would need to find any other solution so no one can take the game hostage. To balance the game to a competive level there is tons of work to do before.

Likewise as i didnt intend to come off as sounding like people who dont play like my style are trash.
Everybody plays the game the way they want to play and thats fine.
I can see your point on que times but i mean it would be worth a try. I think alot of people would enjoy this.
You could go into unranked when learning a new killer or how to use new perks while working on strategy and plays and then switch to ranked once you feel comfortable with using them.

Okay, here's how much I care.
When I win against someone with a better rank than me, I am 1% happier than a normal win.
When I win against someone with a worse rank than me, I feel nothing.
When I lose against someone with a better rank than me, I blame that for my loss, because I'm petty like that.
When I lose against someone with a worse rank than me, they earned it.

I really don't care. Visible MMR would serve the same purpose as visible rank, to screenshot and put on here as a supporting document to why your opinion is correct. As long as it works properly soon, I'm happy enough.

A competitive queue sounds like a good idea in theory. But dividing an already sparse fanbase into different playlists might give you like 1 hour waits to find a game. That's not so ideal is it. I also would love for all sweat squads to be in their own separate playground, but what will stop them from going into casual and stomping them casuals? Some sort of punishment for very experienced players? And what if someone who can play very well decides to just have some causal fun? I'm not sure how that would work. But, with all that said, I'd still enjoy a well thought-out competitive + casual system of queues

When i say competitive im not talking like tournaments ect im mainly talking about how serious you take the game.
Like i would say im pretty knowledgeable on dbd i know most of the numbers for perks / items ect.
Like for an example otzdarva made a 7 hour video detailing every single killer add on giving specific numbers for each add on for each killer.
I watched the entire 7 hour video.. Twice just to better familiarize myself with the game so i can be better.
The average dbd player who just loads up for fun isnt about to sit and watch 7 hours of technical info on the game, they just wanna load up and have fun.
Thats what i mean when i say competitive style of playing.

Because there is no rank, no reward, no REASON to compete other than personal options. Plus rank resets every month. Theres no accurate "good or bad" to use in a competetive ranked system.
Plus its asymmetrical, it's almost impossible to acurately gauge both sides as a competetive game. Because theres 2 different metrics to use.
Its casual, but due to its 1v4 and horror elements, people WANT to think its competetive.
0 -
But there is a rank, the reward is blood points, and weather the ranking system is accurate or not is irrelevant.
The fact that its in place today would seem to me that the game was designed to be competitive, but just my opinion.

Que times would suffer so its not likely to happen but it would be nice.
You would make unranked not give any bloodpoints. It would be like a custom game where everything is unlocked for everybody and you could just go in and test things out have fun ect.

So they go from some janky emblem system to an MMR system that almost every competitive game uses and suddenly it's casual? You don't sound very competitive at all. You want to do better than your enemies? Win matches.
