As you might know you can play DbD on PC for free this weekend. Normaly i play on Xbox with crossplay and know whats going on in purple/red ranks on both sides. And i was actually suprised how quick gens still go at lower ranks. No Terrorradius = they do gens.


Sure, none of the Survs and Killers used any meta perks (maybe just BT or NOED). Everything just went... slower. Most of the matches the killer got only 1-2 hooks before all gens were done. Survs seemed to be more scared of the killer, they hide more BUT they still got the job done and helped eachother very well. The main difference was nobody tbagged the killer, even not at the gates. Insults in the endgame chat were very rare aswell. Most were just quite.


I'm not here to tell you "ranks doesn't matter", there was definitly a difference.

But i came to the conclusion low rank survs can do better as you might think. And the arguement "if you're playing killer at low ranks, you can beat them even without (descent) perks" isn't really true. Even at low ranks the game isn't really balanced as the killer takes even longer to get a surv. At least in this 9-10 games i played.

    I deranked hugely by trying to learn The Blight on release. I dropped a couple of colour ranks and then got hit by rank reset to drop another. "Great", I thought. I am going to get some really easy games now! Nope, barely any difference.
