Downranking with 10 hooks is the worst feeling i've ever experienced as killer
Out of all the imbalance between the killer and survivor gameplay and rank-up problems, this takes the absolute cake. Two consecutive games with 10 hooks giving me a derank is just a joke. I got 10 hooks. I got 10 hooks again. And i got 9 hooks. And as a result i'm now 3 pips lower than i was before. My gatekeeper emblem is never above silver, because thanks to the event handing out Commodious toolboxes like candy it's now less than 90 seconds before 3 gens go up, even when i injure someone and chase someone else off of their gen.
But what really gets to me is the chaser emblem. 10 hooks. Literally had everyone on death hook. Landed over 20 chases (with some slugging to desperately buy time). And my chaser emblem? Silver quality.
You have got to be joking at this point. Am i supposed to get 40 chases every game? Is slugging now mandatory to even get enough downs for the chaser emblem to be above silver?
TLDR how the actual genuine ######### do i pip up in red killer ranks without landing a 12 hook game? How is depipping at 10 hooks ever ever ever even technically possible?

Corrupt is pretty much a must especially right now where toolboxes are running rampant. You have to be extremely efficient, because people are rushing gens like a maniac due to toolboxes and people not wanting to loop due to poor desync with the hitboxes. Honestly slug away is your best option to get a gatekeeper above silver. I'm lucky if I get gold or iri because I only run corrupt for gen control lol.

The amount of hooks you get doesn't determine if you pip. It only determines your sacrifice emblem. Besides, the emblem system is bugged right now.

Believe it or not everything can happen as killer in red ranks.
I even managed to black pip with 32k points 🤣
It's so hilariously stupid the ranking system on killer, and I mean not in this state but when it isn't bugged.
But it is something from resent weeks where there is a lot of gen rushing going on.
Loads of builds especially just for that purpose alone.

Yeah, this event is hard because the toolboxes and survivors being even more incentivized to complete generators. Might just be best to be less hard on yourself for a few weeks.

If the killer you were playing was the plague just remember this:
Even Otz managed to DEPIP with the plague on stream with a 4k due to how bad the emblem system is for some killers.

This makes me feel a bit better (I know you weren't addressing me, but). I've played loads of plague games today and I've been getting consistent 3 or 4k matches and managed to go from rank 6 to rank 10 in the space of a few hours, I thought i was doing something really wrong

The reason is simple: The plague loses the rank scoring points for "hitting" survivors AND gets "lost" chases after 15 seconds despite "hitting" survivors by putting them into the broken state. You literally lose out on not just the hits from this, but also the chase completion. It downgrades two of your emblems simultaneously.

Meanwhile Legion can pip easilly even with everyone escaping. Hell in lower ranks even a double pip is possible while letting everyone go.
The emblem system is just not universal enough for the killers

1) It sounds like most hooks you get happen in EGC, and those are gifted to you by overly altruistic/bored survivors. You've already lost the game at that point from competitive point of view.
2) Plague and all the instadown killers get generally lower score in chaser and malicious categories due to how emblem system works.
3) Sacrifice points are sometimes calculated incorrectly due to an ongoing glitch of 4.5.0 patch.

I would think playing a fair match, only to be teabagged at exit and bm'ed in chat to be a worse feeling. Rank means nothing.

Dude. For the past week I went down from Rank 3 to Rank 10 by escaping tons of matches and depiping 2 points each time I got out.
Luckily I stopped giving a ######### about rank years ago so water off my back, in fact it was pretty awesome because now I'm slumming in the Green ranks and facing killers closer to my actual skill level. Sure I am also getting a lot of potato teammates but you can't have them all.
Playing at lower ranks is better than high ranks. It's less sweaty and a hell of a lot more fun.

Problem is, the survivor pip issue will be fixed soon. The killer pip issue has been like this since the release of emblems.
Emblems don´t take the different killers and their powers into account.

Tehy should just scrapthe emblem system. it is stupid.
Kill/Escape rate is all that matters in this game. It's the bottom line. Everything else is just details. They should do that instead.

When you get 6 hooks and kill one person:
ENTITY DISPLEASED!

Who gives a s@%! About ranks anyway. I play for fun and fun only. I just so happen to always get rank 1 but I could give a flying F@!%@.

3 gens in 90s is not unreasonable for survivors without toolboxes. Chasing a survivor for 80-90 seconds means there are three survivor potentially repairing three gens.
