A leaderboards for DBD and new ranking system

Honestly i love DBD but i do not like the ranking system. I main Killer (this doesnt mean that i only play killer but im alot stronger with them than survivor) and getting to Rank 1 after rank reset is very lack luster to say the least. Theres nothing special but some skull at the bottom of your red rank which is not so motivating

In my honest opinion it should be alot harder for Killers to get to Rank 1 so that its easier to differentiate skill. There should also be Leaderboards. Basically rather than this piping system where a Killer wont really care if 3 (or 2) Survivors get away or Survivor not care because they did (x) amount of things in the match. Keep that but make Surviving and Killing worth ALOT more so that it means more to Survive (or Kill) rather than Pipping

Leaderbords should work that all Rank 1's 2's, 3s etc are determined by a world ranking system based off how many 4 mans they do. So basically every game you play counts to determine how high up in the world leaderboards you are. You can filter players by region or world to see they're positioning. The Killer (or survivors) "main" icon can be displayed which is basically the killer or survivor they play the most with, they're level and they can add (x) things to this. Add specific stats there. I understand that DBD is not a competitive Community and im fine with that but this should at least be considered. If the (DBD team) can make dedicated servers happen i have no doubt they can do this as well

    Maybe once we get dedicated servers. 

    Problem with making piping harder is, that no one would reach high ranks and players would have to wait ages for a match. 
    This happened when they introduced the emblems. Survivor was to difficult to pip (because most don't deserve to be high rank) and killers had extremely long queues. 
    Devs had to make piping easier.

    If they ever get leaderboards in this game... and / or continue to make it harder to rank up... This game will die off.

    Sweaty players ruin DBD. Where do you think allot of the whinning comes from..

    People try-harding cause they can't try-hard enough to beat the crap out of everyone.... So they complain they don't have the ability to try-harder.

    So add in a leaderboards... Those players (minority) will be happy.. Then everyone else just peters off and stops playing cause the game keeps telling them they suck...

    LULS...

    That is what leaderboards do... If you aren't a good player.. It reminds you that you aren't a good player and shouldn't be playing it. Which is the vast majority of players in DBD.

    Making it harder for Killers to rank up.. Might be ok.. but rises the same concerns... Not enough killers at rank 1... to all the rank 1 survivors... Then those survivors don't find matches but with lower skilled / rank players.

    I don't know.. I don't think the Devs need to make the game more competitive rather then more fun and enjoyable for a wider audience.

    Separate queues would be nice for competitive and non competitive.. But not a big enough pop i think for that.

    SWF would also mess up leaderboards since playing with your friends is easier than solo most times. So unless they separated the queues, the leaderboards for survivors wouldn't mean much.
