When did red rank survivors get so bad?
Im coming back to the game after several months of not playing. Ive been clmibing my wayu back to purple where i left off and I keep getting red and purples in green games. Now normally this would be annoying for me because they would be way out of my skill range, but it would appear they arent. Almost every time i see a red rank at the end of my game they are either one of the first ones dead or they are playing into my perks and not realizing it. Did survivor climbing get easier or something? Just curious

They were always bad. Solo q is a nightmare because of potatoes in reds.
Especially after the new rank reset system it's to easy to get and stay in red for every potatoe.
That's also a reason why Q time is horrible rn. Every survivor main is in red ranks.
I have so many random team mates using urban + self care and hide in lockers, crouch in the corner of the map and selfcare against Legion and stuff.
It's not worth playing solo Q and Bhvr just doesn't give a SingleShit about it.
At least you can get many easy games as killer versing potatoe solo squads lol

When ruin got nerfed the game became significantly easier for survivors.
Added: and dwights right, the rank reset thing too also made it easier to rank up

The new ranking system that they brought in made it significantly easier to reach red ranks because the game would only boot you down one rank set. Like if im in rank 1-4 I only go down to rank 5 after rank reset.

ruin and the rank reset. without ruin gens are sooooo damn easy and take no skill, a rank 20 can just be as strong as a rank 1 on gens now. the rank reset also means you need to win about 5 matchs in a month to stay that rank, those players that just hit rank 4 go back to 5... but i mean its not all bad as if it wasnt for the weak survivors killers would hardly play or be able to beat actual red rank players, i mean i often say it if the survivors do the objectives they win... kinda silly when you say it but its why you get games where you can get 10+hooks with one gen done because they hardly ever touched gens

Survivor isn't hard not is it hard to rank up. An thanks to the new rank reset even the scrubs can be and stay at rank 1 while most part killers have to try an work for it or at least put the effort in.

When popping as survivor became brain dead easy it started to let green and purple ranks higher, but what hurt was the new rank reset. That made it so the survivors who really struggled to get to red ranks or even purple ranks could stay close. This inflated the upper end with bad survivors.

in 2018 it started and goes from bad to worse

Ok i see now. The rank resest makes sense. The ruin thing though doesnt really make sense cuz at higher ranks you cant really gen rush and pip as easily so it would make no real difference in this instance. Played some survivor today though and saw some things worth noting with red ranks on my team.
1) theyre always going for either altruism, boldness, or a rush and doing it poorly
2) they have terrible timing
3) Their loop ability is extremely low and often get caught in some of the worst parts of maps to be in.
Most of the green rank survivors i see actually usually are outperforming the red and purples by a long shot. So in my opinion i do believe we need to do hard resets every new season OR implement an mmr based system that works off of what you are doing in game rather than just giving points for pips. Thats obviously the best option but they will never do it because of 2 reasons. First one being because they would have to admit that their system is flawed and do an entire reset of everything. And the second would be that all these little baby survivors and baby killers would cry in the forums forever because they cant pip easily anymore. So it will never happen and after pyramid head hype ends the game will slowly start to die once again

So you're saying every noob survivor gets to red ranks yet killers have to work for it? How does that make sense when most red rank survivors are easy to hook due to the fact they play like rank 20 as a result of the Ruin nerf and current rank reset?
The obvious result is a high number of bad killers on red ranks BECAUSE IT'S EASY TO HOOK MOST RED RANK SURVIVORS A MILLION TIMES.

maybe they're just having fun with the game instead of sweating
