Please revert the rank reset changes
I mean I am not 100% sure, but I believe that at least one of the problems of the current matchmaking and ranking system was caused by the changes to rank reset. Before, you would drop two tiers of ranks, now you only drop to one tier below the tier you were at. And if you don't know what I mean with tier, I mean the different rank colors. Before, a red rank would drop to green ranks after rank reset, now they only drop to purple ranks, and to rank 5, which is the highest of purple ranks,
Since this change, so many people have been able to consistently get to red ranks, and more importantly, stay at red ranks, even though they don't belong there. Of course this isn't an optimal solution to the current matchmaking problems. People of very different ranks are still put in to one lobby, and people still manage to get to red ranks even though they shouldn't. But at least it would be a temporary improvement to reduce the amount of people at red ranks that don't belong at red ranks. At least until the new matchmaking is implemented, I would really love the rank reset to be changed to what it used to be.
I'm not sure, but I do believe the complaints about matchmaking and the ranking system really started to amass after the rank reset changes were implemented.

No.
MM will be fixed, they’ve stated this. Reverting only invites bullying at lower ranks again. It’s why they implement the current rank reset.
That and to stop boosting

I’d prefer the old reset as well. I used to enjoy the monthly climb.

I mean if mm is fixed, then it would be a lot harder to stay at ranks you don’t belong. People stay in red currently bc you face a lot of low rank killers and the occasional higher rank. With consistent ranks they should be able to prove themselves or derank. Good killers are hard if you’re not used to it.

I think this and the SWF changes are to blame.
Current rank reset just reinforces the bloat that already occurs at Red Ranks; where it gets filled by people who just play the game a lot and don't necessarily 'belong' there.
The SWF changes also now make them search for a match as their highest ranked party member. An okay balance change, but it means that a SWF of ranks 2, 5,7, and 8 are now competing with the Red Rank Survivors for Red Rank Killers.
There are just too many Red Rank Survivors matchmaking slots and not enough Red Rank Killer matchmaking slots, so the game sticks people with what it can find.
This is also why low Rank Killers often face higher Rank Survivors.

If it was to stop boosting... Why do I face so many survivors that are obviously boosted? How about facing rank 1/2 killers that are certainly boosted?
Oh yeah! Because with the rank reset change, it became easy for boosted @$$ players to stay in red ranks.
I'm a killer main. I play a bit of survivor, but I'd say I'm at BEST rank 7 material... Yet here I am, back at red ranks.
The original rank reset wasn't that bad, because good players would be back at purple/red ranks within a few days.
I'd reset all the way back to 18, and be rank 1 within a week. But as survivor, I'd rarely hit red ranks... Now, I'm red rank often, and shouldn't be, all because of the way they changed rank reset.

How does the new rank reset system stop boosting?

Like ranks mean anything. A rank 3, me a rank 7, a rank 16 and a rank 17 against a piece of trash rank 13. He down one of the low ranks, hooked in the basement. Camped at the bottom of the stairs. I run in jumped off a rock with BT ran toward the basement and see the trash killer sitting down there, I turn and run escape. I do gens. He hooked another one. The rank 3 was able to get one off the hook as he had BT. Finally came down to just me and the rank 3--I had a key...we both escaped. Massive amounts of abuse sent the killer's way after the game until apparently he blocked me...no idea why he would do that really.
So let's say I was rank 5 in the old system. I'd start at 12/3 instead of 9/0, I am now 7/2..so I have earned 12 PIPs since the reset. I'd be rank 9/0 now. If I am getting low rank trash at rank 7...what makes you think I won't get low rank trash at rank 9?
