Rank reset change made solo survivor unbearable

The change the devs made to rank reset a few months back has killed the survivor half of the game for me. Almost every match I get paired with red ranks who run into a corner to Self Care against Sloppy Butcher, completely ignore the info they get from my Kindred, avoid gens like they're allergic, and go down five seconds into every chase.

I've gone from playing survivor most days when I have free time, to going weeks without playing it because every time I boot up the game and play a few survivor matches, I remember why I hate it. For all that people on these forums complain about SWAT team SWFs, and I know they're an issue, as a solo survivor the experience is completely miserable.

It's at the point where every single survivor ends up in red ranks because pipping is trivially easy and boosted survivors don't get knocked back down to their real rank by rank reset. Between this and teammates who sandbag, killers who BM for no reason, or hateful slurs in post game chat, it's almost impossible to have fun playing solo survivor.

The rank reset change and the devs refusing to address the solo/SWF divide have made this game miserable for everyone in the playerbase who isn't running in a regular SWF. Change my mind.
