Rank 1 Rewards Otherwise Deranking Will Continue
Hello. When can we expect something to be finally given for ranking? I know this has been discussed multiple times on stream in the past but I think it's finally worth putting something in now more than ever as people are deranking as there is no benefit of staying rank one when the waiting time for matches are insanely long at rank one.

My 2-cents on de-rank:
While I am sure a lack of season rewards is part of players not desiring to be "rank 1", I suspect there are many issues in play:
- longer ques due to fewer players
- doubling down on meta perks, slugging and tea-bagging
- lack of "the next thing" to achieve
No matter our rank, players want to have a good time, find quick games and have a way to show what they have achieved. I hope the devs continue to ponder ways to make each rank even more exciting: including rank 1.

Longer queues are due to people deranking in the first place, just FYI.

When you at Rank 1 the main aspect of survivors and killers in those matches is anything goes. It's the highest elo of matchmaking so there is going to be a lot of use of extremely meta perks and strategies that people at lower ranks are agitated by from both sides. Personally I play to learn and I would imagine most people at that rank are too, asides from those that are there for their ego and bragging rights but they get weeded out quickly as they are usually the players that complain about literally anything in post-lobby.

I am trying to reach rank 1 for the achievment currently and I cant think of any reward that could force me to go through the unbalance again.
First they need to balance the game, then they need to make ranking actually mean sth and then we can talk about rank rewards.
It cant be real that at rank 2 I face teams where I get a single hook after 4 gens poped with ruin and only kill that guy due to hard camp, then the next game I 4k with ease with 2 gens left.
Piping is way too easy in this game.
Btw, after I reached rank 1 I will derank back to 15 lol

In a asymmetrical game it's never really going to be 100% balanced but it's been better than it was which is the main thing. Of course there still plenty of things still need looking at but most games I'm not facing SWF full of DS, flashlights and toolboxes so why not?
Yeah, piping is just a playtime thing really, grinding the game can get you further up more than skill can.

Of course an asymetrical game can be balanced.
I reached rank 1 now btw and Im heading down to fun areas again. Its just sad that deranking takes at least three times more time as trying to pip, but well I have another nice game to play in the meantime^^0
