Remove Rank reset
Ever since the very first second I knew the ranks resetted; I've given exaclty 0 damns about pips and rankings.
Furthermore, I've going at it in my mind ever since, and I can't think of ONE good reason why this thing exists; aside of course, to show hoe inepts the devs of this game are; other than that, any reason you could possibly muster (with a lot of stretch of imagination) gets debunked by having 2 neurons in the brain or appliyng common sense. For example:
You could say the rank reset is to incentivate players to constantly be playing and ranking up so they can get to where they were. BUT, unless I'm crazy, the devs themselves have said multiple times "THE GAME IS FOR CASUAL PLAY" (I'm pharaphrasing of course). So unless I've suddenly be thrown into another dimension where common sense doesn't apply, rankings in an online game, by definition, entitles a competitive game, not a casual one; having ranks is the exact opposite of what a casual game stands for.
The only purpose of ranking, (as any sensible person would guess) is to separate players by skill/experience, so new players aren't destroyed by veterans, and veterans don't get bored of destroying newbies.
Now, having said that, a question naturally arises "What good in all hell's name could possibly come from mixing newbie players with veterans?" Is a rethorical question of course, anyone with half a brain (except the dev team) could see that nothing good would ever come from that; and whatever rebuttal you could have about giving newbies a glimpse of high level or learning or whatever; CASUAL GAME, remember?
And lastly, if the reset is to encourage ppl to play more, guess what Behaviour, this might come as a surprise to you, but DBD IS NOT THE ONLY GAME IN EXISTENCE. There are literally thousands of other BETTER games anyone could be playing instead of DBD, so get your head out of your icehole. If you want ppl to play the game more, make it more fun, by, I don't know removing rank reset so newbies don't get absolutely obliterated and don't come back anymore? It's so funny and sad at the sime time, but if rank reset is to make ppl play more, it literally has the opposite effect. either a newbie will never come back based on how bad they were beaten, or ppl will deter from playing until ranks have stabilized again and they can be matched against ppl of their own skil/experience. WHICH btw, why can you only see other ppl's rank until the MATCH IS OVER!?
Look, I'm not salty or anything, I've been following this "game" ever since the halloween chapter; I'm more or less used to the BS this deves can pull out, but it still amazes me just how dumb some ppl can be, like trey as I may, I just can't explain it logically.
Someone should give these companies an award for "The worsts desicions in video game developing", is literally mind boggling.

I can't understand why the ranks aren't visible, either. More often than not, I join a lobby with a swf team with a useless rank 18 player who is boosted by his rank 7 friends and of course the killer destroys us. Or when I play as a rank 8 killer I get swf consisting of rank 8, 2, 3 and 18 (because arithmetic mean). Then again, you can't really expect those developers to think things through, it's just too dificult for them I guess.

I can't understand why people who've only recently started playing act as if they know everything about the game. Then again, you can't really expect those people to learn about the game's history; it's just too difficult for them, I guess.

Firstly, be at least a bit intelligent and creative to write something with your own words instead of copy-paste like a brainless ape because no one will treat you seriously.
Secondly, at least make ranks visible only to other survivors and not to killers, so that I know who I'm playing with.
Thirdly, boy, I have more hours in this game than you could possibly count to. The fact that I only have like 40 posts doesn't mean I just started playing this game. So remember to do some research first, little boy, before you speak.

Rank reset us important, because if you force killer player to stay in toxic high ranks forever, they all would just quit playing at all.
If you want rank reset to be gone, the game needs to get balanced first.0 -

If you want rank reset to be gone, the game needs to get balanced first.And without rank reset, people would just keep ranking up forever, meaning that newcomers would never find lobbies. Furthermore, without rank reset, ranks would become irrelevant because people would just keep ranking up forever, regardless of skill level or how long it'd been since they last played.
Rank reset is there for a variety of reasons.

This lead to a lot of dodging: the Killers dodged high ranked Survivors, low-ranked Survivor dodged lobbies with high-ranked Survivors (assuming a high-ranked Killer) and high-ranked Survivors dodged lobbies with low-ranked Survivors (assuming noob team mates).
Eventually, the complaints about dodging got so out of hand that the devs decided to hide the Ranks outside of KYF lobbies.
That's the main reason Ranks are invisible today.

@DocOctober Yeah, and where did that lead us? Now, people DC mid trial because they see their teammates are getting rekt and then they get downed too. Or the killer DCs when he starts to realize that he plays with veteran survivors who will loop him till the end of the match.
I still believe that ranks should be visible to, at least, other survivors (and not for the killer).1 -
