Since rank is only really meant to sort matchmaking and keep similarly skilled players together, why does DBD decide to reset the ranks once a month and make ppl who WERE rank 1 into rank 10s. Whats the BENEFIT to doing this, because all Im seeing is something that screws up matchmaking more than it already is once a month.

    Ranking up gives dedicated players something to keep working for each month.

    It also helps alleviate matchmaking times - imagine if everyone was clumped around rank 1 forever. New players would come in and have to wait for a very long time to get a match, as they'd only be able to find other new players.
