New ranking system?

This game is such a contradiction within itself. A category that gives you points for not being found or downed, but another one that makes you have to be in chases and win? But 9/10 times you can’t win chases as survivors because killers and bloodlust... there have been so many games where I do 3-4 gens, save survivors, and depip because I wasn’t chased enough. Okay, so shouldn’t I be REWARDED for being hidden?

Also, how can I be chased against the spirit, the nurse or wraith, or even the billy who break chases or can one shot you? It does NOT make any sense.

Does anyone know if they’re fixing the ranking system because the state it’s at now is honestly the biggest mess ever...

    The game rewards you SLIGHTLY for being hidden. But being hidden means - being in the TR for x seconds

    It is very contradictory. In red ranks, it basically requires that not everyone pips.

    I’m glad you guys agree. You do so much, and be rewarded so little. Such a weird system that needs work and everyone’s said it needs work for years now, and nothing. Hm

    Also I love how if someone leaves, or if you are facecamped (elements out of your control) you depip. But that’s balanced and fair. Okay.!

    Ranking and matchmaking is bad. I'm bad as a killer and at rank 20 my last game had a 11, 12, 14, 15 survivors and two in a clan to make this worse for me. Last three games have been like that. The fourth game had 15, 16, 19, 20 which was more fun because they where new and still learning like me.

    Is it so hard to get others within 1-3 ranks each time? I know next to nothing about the analytics or the game but it seems like it could be a lot better with so many people playing.
