... and seems to get worse every patch.

we dont care about emblems. we have not changed our playstyles since the emblem system changed, and we wont be no matter what you do to it.

attempts to change player behavior via the emblem system isnt gonna work.

    Once you get to rank 1, you can just fiddlefart around all match and stay safely at rank 1. I played several matches where I got chased all game, did no generators or saves and still PIPPED... 

    Seriously... #########!

    Remove the safety pip zone when you reach 10 and lower. Rank 20-16 will be beginner ranks, rank 15-11 will be intermediate ranks where figure out more things about the game, rank 10-1 will be the competitive ranks where you can not make no mistakes since there is no satey pip zone.

    A killer cannot pip if (s)he hasn't sacrificed/mori'd at least two survivors regardless of what the emblem system is indicating.

    A survivor cannot two pip if they have been sacrificed regardless of what the emblem system is indicating.

    It's worth noting that this system is both causal and competitive friendly since the competitive players will be at ranks 5-1 ish and the casuals will be at ranks 6-15 ish. This is a win win.

    The killer system never should've changed (with the exception of safety pipping with 2 full hook sacrifices somehow not awarding them).

    I mean, the real incentive to go out of your way to do stuff like kicking generators without Overcharge is bloodpoints. And a lot of things you do in-game do not reward a good amount of bloodpoints. Some killers don't even get good bloodpoints from doing all of the right things (Pig, for example, is one of the worst BP farmers in general; meanwhile, Doctor just exists and maxes out Deviousness).

    Survivors can fail to pip playing like an all-star. I've done games where I repaired multiple generators, got 3-4 safe unhooks + healed others, cleansed totems, and never got hooked, but only safety pipped. The system is whack. I'm starting to think just upping the points requirement to 17-17.5k BP for survivors would've sufficed, since that was still rough to hit surviving, and very, very difficult if you died (mostly because Survival points are unrealistic).

    My playstyle is based more on how many bloodpoints i can earn over if i can get all iridescent emblem rankings.

    Survivors shouldn’t pip unless they escape a horror game should have no free handouts

    Because the rank system is pointless.

    There is no reason to rank up unless you are a masochist.
    It simply is impossible to make both casual and competitive players happy in the same queue, especially with the balance problems in DBD

    Yup best way to play. Bloodpoints can get you stuff. Emblem is just for worthless rank.
