Would queue times be a non issue if there was no ranking system?

Simple question. If the devs got rid of the ranking system and made it so anyone can join anyone would this improve queue times considerably? Also what would be the negative ramifications of this decision. I know skilled killers/survivors could be matched with inexperienced players but doesn't that happen already? Rank generally means nothing and has little value in this game. Why not remove it so that we can all get games faster.

    I have questioned why we need a ranking system in this game as it really doesn't stop low/high skilled players from getting matched up anyway. My suggestion would be to not allow new players to be matched with anyone who isn't new by measuring how many matches they've played or how much time they've put into the game. Now if no match can be found after X amount of time they just get dumped in with the rest of us. This would still allow brand new players to not get overly destroyed while still allowing everyone else to find matches. I also don't want rank to be given a rewards system because then people will be even more "hardcore" about winning and we sadly might see more rage quitting.

    At the end of the day I just want to get matches and enjoy the game. It isn't fun to get into a lobby after waiting for so long only to have people DC because A you joined in a SWF lobby (even though I play solo) or B you played Doc/Billy/Nurse...I just want to have fun too Q.Q

    Ranks don't even matter in swf. A lot of times I'd end up versing a 12 with 1 purple and 2 rank 1.
