Well since rank gives nothing, im not gonna write much but...

Why in a game,you do 3 gens, never get hit, downed, escaped throught the hatch and then LOSE a rank...makes no sence at all. killer got 10k points for a 3 man basement camping bubba, i got second with 9k. Not a long game but still deranking makes no sence at all.

    Because ranking wants you to play a specific way.

    So in a perfect scenario =

    • You need to do 2,3 gens
    • Have a pretty good chase with a killer
    • Help 2-4 survivors (safe hooks unless you want to be sad)
    • Escape

    It's not that we don't care (I ######### hate this new ranking system and want it removed ASAP), but the devs are trying to force us to play a specific way instead of allowing us to choose our playstyle.

    You need to play stealthy also. Losing the killer and evading LOS while inside the TR.

    This is the problem, players don't want to be forced to play a certain way. I for 1 couldn't care less about ranking systems, I just want to play and enjoy the experience. The beauty of this game was the simplicity:


    If you're a Survivor - Escape

    If you're a Killer - Kill Everyone


    But the issue now is you get penalised for not playing a certain way and end up being paired with noobs.

    Attempt at behavior (or Behaviour) modification of players. Instead of improving mechanics, it is easier to try and give a very small carrot and use a very big stick liberally in order to play the 'correct' way.

    Easy fix to that just play the way you want to play :) as in just do what you want to and just have fun that's what I do.
