Longer Seasons

1 momth is entirely, ridiculously, and infuriating short. Please extend the ranking seasons to at least 3 months, like how real seasons go. Thanks you!

    Oh God please don't! Why should it be 3 months?

    1 month is long enough

    Rank means nothing, you'll meet as many boosted survivors up there as any other rank, and once you get the Rank 1 achievement, there really isn't any reason to wanna be Rank 1.

    Rank doesn't really indicate skill, it indicates playtime.

    Which is sad because a rank should do what a rank does in other games: indicate skill. Levels should only indicate playtime, and they already do: that's what devotion is for. Thus, the "ranking" needs to be a proper ranking system or just removed entirely.

    Many would disagree. Some people can't spend all their time ranking up in a game like this just to have their rank deleted a month later. You've played other rank modes in video games right? How long are their seasons typically? That's normally longer than 1 month for a reason. And if you haven't had experience with rank standards in other games, you should get some before you attest a longer ranking period.

    Do you not play ranked modes in other games? They're always longer than 1 month. What would be the disadvantage tbh? What are you afraid of?

    1. They're really easy to climb. Making them longer is pointless.
    2. Recently, they talked about how they wanted to add bloodpoints rewards. Again making seasons longer would mean you get that currency later.
    3. There's ONLY ranked mode. And I don't think you want to see someone killing themselfes on hook, affecting your game just because they want an easier game AND STILL can go back to red ranks for reward.
    4. I'll ask again, why should it be 3 months? Every game does it diffrently (for example, LoL has it's season going for over 9-10 months, while Overwatch lasts just 2 months).

    I second @Kuudere1 's suggestion. 1 month is only time enough for me to level up 1 role. I need more time to give to the second role - I play both but I work fulltime with lots of overtime. I stream it too so extending the season seems fair. I won't say 3 months, maybe 45-60 days? Or adjust the grades/pipping
