Question about the pip bug

So everybody is aware of the bug where you de-pip when you should of maintained pip or maintain when you should of pipped or in some cases double pipped.

In the next steps news section under misc section the dev's have aknowledged this bug but not in a way that i for one percieve it.

It says "Losing pips even though you appear to have safety pipped: Fixed in 4.5.2 (this was a visual bug where the game would incorrectly show you a higher quality emblem that you actually earned)

When i have encountered this bug i have checked my score in all 4 catagories, with most of my games i get 8000 in at least 2 of them, 6000 in 1 and lets say 2000 in the last one. Thats my average game. I do think it is a visual bug but that visual bug seems to reflect the pip system

To back up my theory i will say this. Before the mid chapter patch i was rank 4-5 survivor bouncing back and forth, my games were and still are on average the same. I have slowly gained rank ever since i started playing about a month ago and i have sunk nearly 200 hours into the game in that month (i know sad right)

Now i am sitting at rank 8-9 :/ playing the exact same if not better (i have better perks and items now) and because of this bug im just not getting the same consistant rank progression. Its asif the devs have either changed the matchmaker or its a bug within the ranking system. Its definitly not a visual bug

someone please tell me im not going crazy and if im getting this all wrong please explain

i want to hit rank 1 atleast 1 time :)

    points =/= emblems

    they have some correlation, but you can't just use one to know what the other is

    There is a bug where the incorrect emblem does get displayed. I ran into it once where I died and the end screen showed Gold Unbroken (Silver is the highest you can get when you die).

    There's also a bug as survivor where if you die you don't get unbroken emblem. The unbroken emblem only gives out nothing, gold, or iri. So if you aren't escaping you are losing 1 or 2 points towards your pips as survivor.

    Yeah i agree. The correlation shouldn't of changed then surely

    If the visual bug is affecting the ranking system then i cant see why its been adressed as a visual bug

    Thats only part of the problem. i just want it fixed really, like how it used to be.
