How should they change the ranking system?

Any ideas for a new ranking system? It seems like the higher of rank I climb, the worst team mates I get along with camping and tunneling killers. I’d expect to see it with the lower ranks but not the high ranks. It’s so hard to get a pip when it’s like this.

    Well than it is hard for you and not for others, currently I am fine with how it is. I pip 90% of my games. Why? Cause I do the objectives and play smart. Even if a killer tunnels it doesn't matter, you can still outplay the ######### out of them and they lose because of it.

    I do the objectives too and get my team mates off the hook but it isn’t enough to pip up even when I get the most points out of everyone in the match.

    Pips on the survivor side are a participation reward now. Make it piping harder and higher rank will actually mean more skileld teammates.
    Of course there will be more tunneling/camping killers on high rank, those are tactics that actually work. If you try to 3-hook everyone, then you are basically trying to derank as killer

    camping and tunneling killers

    Go play killer if you think it is easy, really.

    And for the topic - it is hard, because survivors are smurfing at low ranks, as well as part of the killers. Devs should make seasonal rewards for ranks, and all the people will be tryharding to get upper.

    Also, since 2.0, ranking for the survivors is a lot easier than for killers, as always.

    Seasonal rewards would indeed make everyone tryhard which would kill this unbalanced game. Apparently the devs are very well aware of that, so they delay those a bit :wink:
    We just gotta hope they fix the core game balance soon

    As always ... ? Just before 2.0, when the emblem system first came out, it was very difficult to rank up as a survivor & killers were complaining about it because they couldn't fill lobbies?

    They either need to reward high ranks or just get rid of having ranks, as it stands the only thing you get from a high rank is a long wait time. There's no point making ranks better if there isnt a reason to do it in my opinion

    Add rewards. Nothing else needed. There is no reason for me to rank up other than to find the level of gameplay I desire. This is usually around Ranks 10-12. If there were rewards, I would not purposely depip anymore because I'd want to get them. Purposely depipping hurts my teammates when I am playing Survivor, and as much as I feel bad for doing it, I won't play in the current Rank 1 meta for no reward.

    They shouldn't.
    The emblem system is decent how it is atm except for very few flaws.

    i have made the exact same observation.  high rank is overrated.  the bozo to player ration is 1.25 to 1 at such ranks.

    It is so easy to rank up as killer and to me this is why the killers run into problems. Being a survivor you need a strategy and it is a lot harder to rank. When you get over matched skillful survivors and a just an okay killer that's when people tend to get frustrated. Add in SWF and the whining and crying begins. The reason they are pallet looping toxic (bad word) is because most killers are out matched. What ends up happening is the just okay killers decide well I'm gonna derank so I can at least have fun. Then you get whining crying survivors saying the killer is OP. Make it harder to rank as killer and harder to derank as well. This way everyone can be even and toxic at the right rank thereby leveling the playing field. My 2 cents worth.
