Balance matches and player base

So to start I am NO pro at this game but have seen a drastic dive in player base and over all fun to play since the FNF release.

I know there is a HUGE influx of new players. Most don't take the time to learn the game some do both Survivor and Killer. Before that release, games were fun. I have a small group of friends I play with off and on. Some games we won, some not but it was an equal back and forth.

Now, 1-3 of my survivor buddies blow all their skill checks, run around aimlessly squatting and fast jumping everything possible along with 100 other things players trying to survive a match don't do. Please put in some type of system to keep those players in a lower rank or skill bracket or whatever. Some I'm sure wanna learn but OMG it's old having 1-3 of them every game throwing and DC'ing and on and on. I left League of Legends to play this and find myself going back to it which is crazy.

I play killer as well equally and can VERY easily tell players that are being toxic or lack basic skills. Instead of killers seeing those trying but learning and give them a chance, they get tunneled or killed ASAP usually leaving the rest of us to die quickly also. I chose to 8 hook most games which is my own choice but enjoy pushing them enough to improve but not ruin the game for them. To each their own on how they play killer.

New players are needed to keep the game growing and we all were new but PLEASE stop mixing them in with those playing for a while and put some balances in place. Killers are SUPER aggressive lately camping and tunneling which makes it all even worse. No wonder some people don't even try learning the game and run around squatting and messing around as they have no chance most matches anyhow.

Heck put in a low skill bot killer to let them get the basics on for a while before playing with others as an idea or require so many custom games or so on. I'm happy to share more ideas and thoughts here as this is not intended as just a rant but hopefully enough detail that I'm sure has come from others as well that can drive improvement in these areas!
