Why this game needs rank rewards

Right now it's no lie that survivors disconnect most games for no reason, and it's so frustrating as killer and survivor. As killer you waste your good addons, you lose momentum, you lose BBQ tokens, and you don't get to play the game and actually have fun. As for survivor, well it's obvious as you're down a team mate.

If this game had rank rewards, which the community have been asking for for ages, then people would actually want to rank up, and wouldn't DC, whilst it would also reduce the ever growing grind ever so slightly, and encourage people to play the game more regularly. I recognise the ranking system is broken af right now so it would be pointless the impliment, but i still think this is a much needed change for the game.

    They don't want implement something like that. But they're trying to make more ways to get a bloodpoints.

    They could do something simple and gives you different amounts of shards and bloodpoints depending on your rank when the reset drops.

    The problem currently is that you dont lose Pips when you DC and restart your game. So a (potential) Depip can be avoided by simply DCing and restarting the game. Basically players are more in favor of Ranking up currently.

    This is the same for Killers and Survivors.

    Of course this does not explain all DCs, but it is partly responsible for the current high number of DCs.

    I... dunno. Rank doesn't mean so much now, especially since awful tactics can get you rank to the detriment of other people's experience. Imagine how sweaty everyone will become (both sides) if they were all desperate for sweet, sweet Rank 1 Rewards? I'll take more BP to negate some of the grind, or hell faster Iridescent Shards so I can buy more cosmetics. I think they want to keep that as slow as possible though, but it would be nice.

    Maybe the rewards can be discounts on their IS cosmetics? I'd be okay missing out on that.
