4k = safety pip
While I'm not eager to climb ranks, I find it funny how I can get 4k in a game and not even pip up. Shouldn't a 4k game be an automatic one pip at least? I'm in the mid ranks, not even the higher ranks. And it's not good enough that you kick everyone's butt, but you have to do it with a certain style otherwise the game treats it as an even match.

Well yeah on Killer you can get 18k in game and still de-pip. But I'm pretty sure on Survivor all you have to do is show up to rank up. lol

@DoubleTap Not at all, it's similar. If the survivors rush the gens and there aren't a lot of hooks and chases, they won't pip. If the killer only downs one surv and camps them to death, the other 3 survs can also leave with a de-pip.

If you manage to win so easily, you probably stomped some Potatoes. So you think you should get a reward for not doing anything that would justify a reward? Many games are like that nowadays...Do nothing-->Win.
I think a game where you actually need to do something is more rewarding. Pretty sure you had quite an easy game when you win that fast.
btw. on Survivor Side pipping is also not that easy... You have to rely on your Teammates making mistakes so that you can get some Unhooks and also do some more Gens than usual. Also the Killer needs to be decent, otherwise probably all Survivors will not pip, a Killer who cannot hook anyone will not help with the Benevolence-Emblem.

I think it's even possible to de-pip with a 4k, like if you did an absolute stomp and slugged everyone under a minute.

Goes to show you don't play Survivor.

Nope, the Survivors will depip. If a Match is over in like 3 minutes with a 4K, the Survivors will all depip. But the Killer will keep his Rank.
And apparently, if the game is done that fast, the Killer did not do that much. So no Reward for not doing anything. Sounds fine.
(I mean, as a Survivor, I also do not pip when the Killer is bad. And thats fair, I played vs a Killer who is not good, so why should I get rewarded for that as well?)

The Emblem system is definitely dumb.

Tbh, if you stomp Potatoes, just stomp them and accept that its a Black Pip. You did not do anything exceptionally well, so dont expect a Reward for it.
But on the other Hand, when you are in Red Ranks and you play vs High Level Survivors and beat them, it feels way more rewarding and you will get your PIp.
(I dont mean "you" in particular, this is just the way I use to express myself.)
In short:
Beating up weak players (either Killers or Survivor) = not skilled.
Winning vs good Killers/Survivors = skilled.

Emblems = Play the style the Devs want you to play.
Don't play their way you didn't play in a manner they deem worthy enough to rank up.
At what point will people figure out it isn't about being the best but being able to pull of the style the Devs want you to play.
If you are too good then you should be good enough to allow room and still close the door shut on them.
Call it farming or whatever you want.. but if you go around killing new players all the time you are not making it any fun for them. So why the hell do the Devs want to reward you for that?

4k should make you pip automatically. Regardless of play style I think.
