Ranking system placement matches
I've been thinking, the way dbd's ranking system works is far too based on play time during that season, than it is on skill. For example, i haven't played in two and a half months. I'm now a rank 16 killer and survivor (roughly). As killer i 4k every game and as survivor i can loop one killer round all game. it's completely unfair on whoever i'm against, but only because i've been ranked based on the fact i haven't played recently, as apposed to the skill i have from my 1200 hours.
I'm proposing that at the start of every rank reset, everyone plays a certain number of placement matches, similar to that of rocket league and rainbow six seige. These placement matches would put you against various skill levels of players, and so judge your rank, meaning you could technically start a season in red ranks, or on the other hand start in grey ranks. I believe this would making ranking up less based on grind, and more based on skill.
Thoughts?
TLDR: Do some placement matches at the start of every rank reset that determine your rank, meaning you may start at any rank (even red ranks) and then move around from there based on how you play
