There's no reason a red rank killer should derank below green ranks
I came back to this game for the event and was deranked from 1 all the way to 20 on both killer and survivor. I thought this wasn't a big deal at first because I could fly back up to green ranks in no time (which is kind of true, but it's still a grind).
But I have to say that there is absolutely 0 excuse to have a system that deranks someone with hundreds of hours to the point where they are playing against new players. When I play killer, the game goes either one of two ways - I want to play overly nice and 2 hook everyone and then let them farm a bit because of the event. Or, I get super frustrated by how extremely boring it is to be playing at this level and I slaughter them all with 5 (maybe 4) gens up, despite hooking them all multiple times (usually). And god help them if I ever get bored of playing killers I don't know/like (which happens quickly), and hop on my main (literally had a game yesterday where I was able to 4 man slug everyone within the first minute on Nurse and then let one of them wiggle off so they could play the game because cakes).
Survivor is a similar experience. I usually have to completely 3 gens (or more) by myself (which is not fun at all). And when the killer chases me, it's extremely easy to just destroy them. I honestly think that I could 5 gen run them all without using any pallets, if newer players knew how to sit on gens.
The end result is me playing much less than anticipated during this event because the games are horrible. And it's not even the playerbase's fault that they are horrible, it's the bad game design.
Please fix it. This isn't fun for me, nor is it fun for these new players when I am on killer.

i get what you mean, but someone who has been a way and is rusty wouldn't have it fair being a red rank still and not being able to get back into the groove.
still valid though

I've always thought red ranks shouldnt be allowed to derank past purple, killer or survivor. Its unfair on new or less skilled players in lesser ranks to come up against these players.

Monthly resets were a bad idea when the game launched, and several times worse now. Sadly I feel nothing will change until we get the oft fabled update to scoring, pips and Ranks, and that won't be implemented till a working MMR system is in place.

Personally, I'd never reset anyone's rank. Just let people keep the rank they've earned. This would have the extra benefit of eliminating the extra sweatiness that comes right before and right after rank reset every month, when everyone is either trying desperately to climb up an extra rank, or trying desperately to reclaim their rank. Who cares? Let people keep their rank.

But then we could delete ranking completely and only create a safety bracket for new players. Good thing is all of this will be solved when MMR is finally here. Then we have other problems to discuss.

I kinda get that for killer but so many red rank survivors still play like potatoes that I kinda feel like rank is meaningless and it's not a massive deal that it decays.
It's partly the game's fault because you get rewarded for things like doing dull totems, farming with BT and strictly playing for hatch that you can play relatively poorly most games and still make red ranks.

Yeah...but it doesn't take many games to get unrusty. My main is Nurse and I feel like I am completely fine with her now. It's been less than a week of playing. Just decay people to green ranks, at most.

I admire your optimism. But seeing as the glorious hit validation function that was supposed to solve the myriad of issues surrounding hits flat-out doesn't work (and let me tell you, reading the latest dev blog about how they were using the same idea to fix the pallet issue, etc. had my eyes rolling because it simply means the pallet issue won't be fixed, either), I don't expect the MMR to work, either.

I'm green rank as killer and survivor and I'm more often than not playing against red rank killers and 2/4 red rank lobbies anyway. Restricting deranking does absolutely nothing.

Even if its works badly, people will not lose their ranking over time. So atleast this problem is solved.
