Better Balanced GamePlay

NeoBlaze

Can you fix the ranking system? i feel like when you fail the objective you should go down a rank and if you complete the objective you go up a rank. then match people with the closest rank to yours. I think the gameplay would be more fair so people didn't get matched with people they couldn't handle.

Example when the killer kills all survivors the killer goes up a rank and survivors go down a rank. When the survivors escape they go up a rank and the killer goes down a rank.

If you matched people based on their rank i believe this would help the gameplay become more balanced and make it more fun for new and old players.

just off the top of my head I could see this ranking system being troublesome for survivors because escaping does not equal skill. As a survivor you need to put yourself at risk to complete the generators and escape. I believe the current ranking system does try its best to reward players for putting themselves in danger and doing gens. Your ranking system seems to help the survivor hiding in a corner waiting for hatch rather than the people doing the gens or looping the killer.

I am forming this opinion based on the belief that you mean to say that only the survivors who escape rank up. If you instead meant that if all survivors escape they rank up I also see an issue with that.

It would be fine to require all survivors to escape in order for them to rank up if it was not extremely easy for the killer to facecamp one person and kill them off thus preventing the rank up of all survivors.

Also the requirement of the killer needing to kill all four survivors is a bit too much. Hatch would either need to be removed or you would need to change your requirement of 4 kills down to three kills. As of now getting a 4k is more a test of luck. Even if you slug the third person it could still result in a 3k

There's probably a point system that could be integrated into it. But the main problem that i've been having is that your rank goes up no matter what but based on what you do it will go up slower or faster. I haven't won a single match in a long time no matter who i play as and people have told me the only way to make my rank go down is if i simply don't play the game. Given where my rank is it will be a year of not playing the game before i am going up against people i can handle. So i believe there needs to be a system that will make your rank rise and fall faster. I'm pretty sure i'm not the only person having this problem. I like the game and i want to have fun but haven't had fun in over 6 months of playing and have even considered quitting the game entirely.

I absolutely see where you are coming from. This games ranking system is a huge mess and I can understand your frustration. Hopefully the MMR system they want to add can do anything to fix the imbalance of skill from people in the same rank. Assuming they ever actually get around to adding MMR to the game that is
