Rank Rewards before Battlepass
Seriously, I don't think anyone really likes the mindset in which this is heading towards. Rank rewards have been requested for ages, and it leads to it 'not being a main priority' or 'maybe in the future' kind of deals. Well, how come a battlepass is a main priority over that? No one asked for a battlepass, but that seems to be set into gear and ready for us soon enough, while rank reward topics are still heavily ignored. What's so hard about rewarding players for actually playing the game? People have simply asked for bloodpoints or shards as means of rewarding them for their hardwork, and all they get is radio silence.
It shouldn't be too hard to simply do that. Deathgarden, of all games, rewards players for simply doing a survey, yet we can't be rewarded for actually taking the time and dedication into ranking up? This is one of the main reasons why de-ranking is so common, because ranking up means nothing. The way I see it, it's either remove ranks or start rewarding players. And, before someone says 'bUt RaNkS pReVeNt GoOd PlAyErS fRoM pLaYiNg WiTh NeWeR pLaYeRs!!!!!!111!', no, that's not true, because people, AGAIN, could simply de-rank themselves or play with rank 20 SWFs. It won't surprise me if a bunch of new players coming in from the Strangers Thing's community end up leaving past week one because they got bullied by 2000 hour Survivors or Killers who wanted to de-rank to get some form of enjoyable content.
Please, invest time in listening to the community before having us whip out our wallets for a battlepass. There's been too many threads lately asking for rank rewards, and it's upsetting to see no one from BHVR actually taking the time to listen to their suggestions.

Didnt the roadmap say we would be getting "Incentives" tied to ranking?
0 -
No. They said in the dev stream they'd like to add incentives next year when they rework the ranking system though.
Battle pass comes in mid chapter though so @Chaotic_Riddle will be disappointed.

Yes, we need an incentive to rank up. But as @BBQnDemogorgon said, it's not going to happen this year.

@NoShinyPony @BBQnDemogorgon Very disappointing indeed...

Because of money, which is fine.

Please, BHVR, don't turn into EA. Nobody likes EA.

I find it quite funny and sad.. The community is asking for any kind of reward since day 1 of dbd. And Bhvr just says "nope" and gives us another grind mechanic called battlepass. I personally don't know who is making these decisions at bhvr. But that person shouldn't work on DbD anymore. He is missing what the community wants and what's really needed.
It's just a matter of time till dbd turns into a game like we all hate nowadays.

Here here. Its ridiculous honestly that its gone this long without being adressed. Having ranked rewards is something BOTH killers and survivors want. i really can't see the problematic reason as to why nothing has been introduced yet?

Don't worry, majority of the community will purchase the battle pass and throw money on top of it just to get faster progression into it for old cosmetics that no one wants.

@Dr_Trauts Because why provide cosmetic rewards for achieving certain ranks (no cost) when you can provide cosmetic rewards for grinding out a Battlepass (with cost)?
Behavior has learned that there is (apparently) decent money to be made on cosmetics with their playerbase, so I'm not shocked they went with a Battlepass instead of rank rewards. It's what happens when players keep throwing money at a company, and they see a winning formula.

Exactly.

Rank rewards don't have to consist of cosmetics, it could be shards or bloodpoints.

I just hope we get something soon. Some kind of rank reward even if it's super small. Would only promote better game health tbh

Rank rewards = Only top tier killers, moris, keys, insta-heals and top tier perks...
Taking example for the Kombat League 3 when people was that frustrated to not lose points that they've started abusing bugs, using only the best characters like Liu Kang and zoning the hell out you.

Perhaps they could also invest their time in actually fixing this god awful ranking system while they're at it, but at least rank 20s who just bought the game won't have to deal with rank 1s disguised as their level due to the need to try and gain a reward for not going all out on some poor newbies.
1 -
I mean the rank reward is all good. But I hope it will be based on how many matches you've played instead of connecting this with the rank. Rank already has the good purpose to separate new players and expierienced one's.

It kind of does and it kind of doesn’t. Players can just purposely de-rank to not really have to deal with sweatier and harder Survivor/Killers, due to the fact that there’s no point to it, especially with long queue times. But who knows what BHVR will do.
