Add Ranked.
I could go in a long spree talking about all the reasons they should add ranked but I’d rather respond to comments for specifics. To quickly some it up, many people in this game have an addiction to meta or what is needed to do to win when there is no real reason to play this game like that. Adding a ranked will allow those people to migrate over there. Even just being able to brag about a specific rank would ease the issue. Also I think splitting ranked and quick play would be a good way to test out different updates on each version for example what if on ranked killers couldn’t use above purple addons or survivors were locked to one or two of each perk per team.

I don't feel the population is big enough to handle a population split. It's already excessively painful when 2v8 comes out. Queues go from seconds to 15+ minutes.

Believe me, strong players with a lot of hours would be happy to wait for the opportunity to play against worthy opponents, this is not a problem at all.

With each new update, the developers lower the entry threshold for new players.
They add an endless number of skills that break the killer's gameplay, and mechanics that punish the killer for actions originally embedded in his gameplay.
As a result, more and more survivors rely on skills such as: "Off The Record", "Decisive Strike", "Babysitter", "Reassurance", "Made for this", "Unbreakable", "Deliverance", "Background Player" and "We're gonna live forever".
With all this in hand, survivors continue to complain about camping, tunneling and slugging.
But this is the only thing left for the killer given the current meta. Moreover, this does not guarantee him victory.
The game of the killer against the survivors turns into a game against their perks and built-in mechanics.
Take away all the survivors' meta and see what they are really capable of without it.
Strong survivors with voice communication, having the skills and capabilities that the game currently has, abuse all of this, gaining an unfair advantage that makes most killers feel helpless. They also mock killers by crouching, nodding their heads, or endlessly blinding them with flashlights, land mines, firecrackers, or flash grenades.
The game needs a ranked mode with a well-developed resource balance. Players should be motivated to learn to play better and not rely solely on their perks. A huge number of strong killers have already left DBD because they have nothing to strive for and they play not against people, but against their perks.
How many more built-in mechanics do we need to add to survivors so that there are no killer players left in the game?

Yeah the game was at its lowest player count in a while just a little bit ago. I don’t hate survivors I play both sides equally I just feel like I want something to strive for or an environment where I won’t feel terrible using four slowdown

IMO that’s probably the biggest issue with it for sure. I also think that a ranked could add many more players though. Often when you hear people talk about games they’re talking about ranked and bragging about their ranked stat. Personally I know I would play the game much more with a ranked

Everytime MMR is made tighter and lot of hour players have to wait for matches, they do complain and BHVR eventually undoes the tighter restrictions.

that’s just straight untrue. Not everyone is playing purely to win. If I need to wait 30 minutes for a match I’m not playing

Ranked mode will do nothing to stop people from entering the casual mode to stomp with A-tier killers running A-tier perks.

People always say that acting as if people don’t do that already in all mmrs

same with survs running most powerful stuff against weakest killers in the game :D
But anyways, adding ranked in this game would be a huge step towards finally having a possibility to make right balance decision that can be accomplished through sampling of optimal vs. optimal gameplay, since there is no way to currently make balance decision due to how awful playerbase is

straight up and let them go a wall the normal game. Bring back things people want that people considered fun. Maybe the old ranked mode. Also I think it’s a gamble but if they do it right ranked could bring it so many new players

I think your idea is great. However, if killers are restricted, they will not play ranked.

Nah me and many other killer players I know usually don’t go above purple addons. There’s gonna be some stinkers but that’s true everywhere with everyone on both sides

The issue with a ranked mode for DBD is that it would become pointless pretty quickly.
The casual players would be overjoyed...at first.
Think of the average mindset of very good/competitive DBD players favoring one side: they want to curbstomp everybody and will absolutely make the game miserable to do so.
Now imagine if they had to go against equal opponents, and eventually superior opponents. After sweating too much or too many losses, they would leave the ranked queue to go pubstomp people that are either not trying or newcomers in the "casual" queue instead, making the experience miserable for the casual players again.
After a few weeks/months, only a handful of comp players would stick to ranked queues out of principle and most sweaty players will be back to casual queue, returning the situation to what it is now: most games being pretty sweaty and the occasional chill games. All the dev's work and time likely wasted.
It just wouldn't work.

This depends on SO many things.
Like is ranked not allowing swf? Is ranked not allowing certain perks or addons? Some killers best addons are greys while others are ultra rares. SO much variation to blanket balance here.
This idea being a yes or no varies by so many factors I’d have to know a ton of specifics on what’s limited for my opinion on whether it’s a good idea.

The default mode IS already ranked. MMR = rank. DBD doesn't have unranked modes outside of event modes.
