Just that, if you let potato killers get into higher ranks then we will have the matchmaking problem temporarily fixed.

    How will that fix the issue? The big complaint right now is that killers are being matched with survivors who are far more skilled than them. This would change absolutely nothing, and just obfuscate the actual problem with matchmaking.

    It would be a temporary fix, with MMR getting implemented shorly there is no point on pipping being so rough.

    Well, its that or making pipping harder for survivor.

    I feel like pipping as a killer is already too easy. I actually attempted to play a game yesterday without pipping as killer. I just chased and pressured a bit, and only killed one survivor and let the others go, and i still pipped.

    I only just started playing killer and am only rank 14 and there have been a ton of games where i go up against a full squad of rank 8s.

    I think the skill level difference is less about rank and more about availability to new players. A new killer only has access to 5 killers, two of which are horribly underperforming right now (Trapper and Wraith). As soon as you hit rank 12~ with Trapper and Wraith, you basically can't do jack against good survivors unless you are using super powerful addons. And these new players probably avoid nurse and huntress because of their difficulty. If new players buy some of the premium killers, they would probably feel just fine with the survivors they are being matched up against. They probably should consider making some of the older content just free, or massively discounted so that newer killers aren't pigeon holed into using some of the worst killers. I think Hag or Doctor should be free by now, they have been here since the beginning. They probably could give survivors one or two free ones as well. And the best way to fix these problems is to just balance the underperforming killers. Most of them dont need extensive reworks to fix. They just need small tweaking which could be done very easily.

    They should have survivors derank farther back. Or heck, all the way back to 20 and have "seasons" last two months instead of just one

    ABSOLUTELY NOT! Idk about other people but personally find that I rank up way too fast as a killer with how much I play, i hate going into the red ranks as I am a killer who plays all the killer not just the top tier ones and that's bad in red ranks because you have to try hard so much in that rank class because every survivor and their mom brings a full set of second chance perks with the most broken items not to mention the random swf here and there. The bad survivor mains pushed for devs to have killer variety to be killed in that rank and I'd like no part of it if I can help thank you.


    I would much prefer staying in the purple ranks where I still get some decent variety of survivors to play with and people aren't as toxic, that allows me to play any killer without feeling like I'm purposely handicapping myself.


    Also anyone playing killer noticing you're getting matched up with survivors that are farther and farther from your region?
