Being called a "tryhard" at rank 1

Well it seems like if I'm literally in the best rank of the game I can't play good because I'm a tryhard, or sweaty. Well I guess I have to play bad on purpose now because I have to follow the Survivors Rule Book or I'll get punished lol. 

Having said that, good luck on this Blood Hunt! Don't forget to prestige the Daddy Gordon :3

    Yeah I get this "sweaty" or "tryhard" stuff a lot when you don't play by made up rules.

    I was called sweaty during my second ever game as Nurse on PC. Or, rather, a specific body part of mine that generally comes in pairs was called sweaty.

    It should be noted that the harder you "tryhard" the lower your rank should be.

    If you're not getting black pips with a 4k then you're not trying hard enough.

    Are black pips good?

    Depending on what your goal is :)

    -1 pip means you lose a bit of rank

    0 pip (or black pip) means you didn't move up or down rank

    1 pip means you moved up a little

    2 pips means you moved up a lot

    :) I was just trying to be funny because the ranking system is... ineffective at ranking players.

    Yeah I figured as much: ) we can't snowball as much as survivor's do

    If you max out a certain objective every match but you don't do it the following match or retain your 4k streak you lose pips or don't get any, which is annoying to have your rank fluctuate constantly

    You are always the bad guy as Killer and the survivors will blame you everytime, doesnt matter what you do.

    Dont forgot the survivor rule book:

    1. When you hook a survivor and you are still on the map, you are a camper.
    2. When you hit a injured person, no matter when in this game, you are a tunneler.
    3. When a survivor is longer then 1 second on the ground, you are a slugger.
    4. When you use your mouse or keyboard as killer, you are a tryhard.
