    Ranking is very good now. You rank up when you did exceptionally good against decent opponent. Most games is just safety. This is exactly how it should be. Ranks will mean something week after next reset. At long last.

    Edit: Have some humility, truth is, most of us do not deserve r1.

    Quite the opposite.

    The better you play, the harder you demolish your opponents and the sooner the match is over. Short matches mean low emblem progression, even though you completly dominated the match.

    Instead of getting rewarded for such exceptionally good playstyles you get punished. You're forced to prolong the match in an unnatural way to farm the emblems up even though you've already won 10 minutes ago.

    Very good ranking, yes. /s

    For Survivor Ranking, it might be worth to consider that the other 3 Survivors (or how many are left alive) will get some points for their Emblems if someone is doing an Action.

    E.g. I am unhooking a person and healing them. This counts for my Emblem System for 100%, for all the other 3 Survivors it counts as 25% from what I got (Percentage just made up). Of course there would still be a race for Unhooks or Gens, but someone is not doomed to get a De- or Blackpip, when he is only getting chased the whole game or never get to an Unhook, because he is too far away. In the end, it is a Team effort.

    It would also help with the Killer playing bad so that only a few Unhooks or Chases can be done.

    In general the Survivor System needs some tweaks, it is ridiculous that at Rank 1 you cannot find any games as Killer. Even though, Killer System also needs some tweaks.

    The thing that makes this ranking system so hard for survivors is getting teamed up with potatoes. The SWF groups will not have that hard of a time ranking up.

    @JoannaVO I wouldn't say that. The amount of gens and unhooks is limited, so survivors compete for work = emblem points. If survs split the work fairly, nobody gets enough points for a pip in the high ranks. It works in the midranks but not in the red ranks where you need 13 points.

    The ranking system is terrible! I been rank 1 every season and now my rank is 7! I do gens, I save people, I cleanse totems, I search chest, I lose the killer but I still only ever get a safety pip or lose one! this really is so unfair because I been tunnelled and camped a lot since new Plague came out and I lose my rank cuz of this! They need to fix this because it's stupid!

    All this new ranking system has done is more killers more try hard then ever before.

    Thanks a lot DBD team for meaning this game so much more unfair.

    @LilZombieGurl Dull totems and chests don't count for Emblem points. Tunnelling and camping have been a thing before the new pipping system. And while they are annoying, they aren't unfair. Unfair are cheats and hacks.

    Yes, the new pipping system doesn't work properly, but the reason is another one.

    But as a survivor you should try anything to escape. That 's what I do atleast, screw pips. And if people feel like getting fast easy points by being altruistic instead of bothering their selves on generators then nobody in those teams has the right to cry about getting killed while many generators still had to be repaired.

    If you 4k as a killer.. DISCONNECTS OR NOT! You killed everyone and deserve to pip period. No ones argument against this is going to change my mind.

    I had a thought about this a few days ago... Whatever they do I hope they do sooner rather than later.
