Red Ranks Be Like...
Ragequits, tunnellers, and unbalanced lobby's, and you can thank the emblem system. It's just too easy to rank up as both killer and survivor, leaving around 80% of regular players in the red to purple ranks, and the majority of them in red ranks (not that it matters due to the awful matchmaking system but that's a separate issue). I play killer and survivor, and as killer i find that far too often i'm put against dreadful survivors who are far below my level. It's boring for me because i waste my addons as I 4k without any trouble at all, and it's awful for the poor survivors who expected to go against some half blind trapper. Sure I could play a weaker killer, but next game i'll be against some SWF experts who run me around until i'm smashing my keyboard. Meanwhile as survivor, sometimes the killer is far above my level and destroys me, but even worse is when i'm with a kill who is god awful, and i can practically see the tears forming in those soulless eyes. What option do they have but to chainsaw face camp and tunnel off the hook, which is fun for no one. Or what about when your teammates lose hope and DC, leaving you in a 2 man game with an angry huntress. Meta perks like Ruin and DS are all i see and i'm beginning to lose hope as this game becomes a repetitive cycle of pain, a thing this game never used to be, even when killers were weaker. Forget bringing out new chapters and cosmetics. Fix the system, before everyone gives up.

swf screws up survivor ranks so bad. I wish I was matched with other solo players that ranked up soloing like I do, they are usually much better players. I can always tell when I’m with bad swf people the pipped up off their friends.

Yeh, but though i think SWF is a MASSIVE issue, i'd still say the core problem lies in the ease of ranking up in this system

i can’t even begin to think about how to fix this. As for swf yeah some are op but a lot of times swf are the ones you’re snowballing due to their altruism . I see it all the time.Bc as a solo I’m not falling for it. Swf most times do. They will straight up do some of the dumbest things. Swf actually killers bread and butter.

As a killer when I chase people and they drop pallets even when I'm miles away... That really makes me cringe. Ranking is messed up.

SWF's! OMG! Those evil SWFs! Seriously, most of my matches vs SWF's are fun and not filled with hit-squad players. Just friends goofing around. Without SWF, this game would shrink to the point you would wait an hour for a match.

The emblem system doesn't take into consideration if one turns the camera to look behind during a chase. There are lots of people in upper ranks that do this. Same for pallet camping.
Maybe there should be an additional category for the emblem system: STYLE

You summed up perfectly what I like to say but horribly fail about current situation of the game.
I would like to see balance chapters before any other chapters. I was pretty excited before the announcement of the new killer, but now I am not sure. I guess we’ll see.

All it takes to fix it in my opinion is raise the condition of pip by 2-3 emblems and maybe safety pip by 1. Also fix safe hook rescues. They often pop up after rescued survivor gets down for some reason.
Why? It is so damn ridiculously easy to rank up as survivor. I had a lot of trials when i died and did almost nothing but still ranked up.
It goes by the spiral. Many weak survivors in higher ranks cause more bad killers ranking up which causes even more and even worse survivors... You see what i mean here? We are currently in state where all you have to do is play regurarly to get r1. Skill doesnt matter its just about time.
I think the only solution would be to make survivor pip harder and a one time total rank reset to r15 so people have to earn their place again and then with normal monthly resets (you know r1 to r10).
Edit: When it comes to dcs we just need some punishment. Lets say if you dc manually you can't join any lobby except kyf for 1 minute. 5 minutes for second manual dc withing hour. If you dc more you get leaver status which will make game to try puting you with other leavers.

Though i mostly agree with you, i also think just nerfing survivor pipping isn't enough, as with most killers, pipping is easy (i double pip literally every game with nurse, spirit, and billy). Also, i think the truth of the matter is, the bestter a survivor is at looping, the betetr they are at the game, so i still think that the pipping system should be made harder in general, but by just running away most of the game you can still pip (doesn't always happen for someone like me who runs the killer round all game)

I strongly believe they should do what rainbow 6 siege did, an entire DLC dedicated to patches and balance, with no new characters

You ever just give up playing killer when your nice addons are wasted by idiotic pallet campers and DC's?

It's the only way you can be challenged as a killer anymore

I like the ups and downs myself... Sometimes you have some amazing games.. others times not. Too me.. if every game leveled off emotionally I would get bored. I like to get excited about a good win and get mad on a lose. The emotional roller coaster is what brings me back to this game over and over.
