To rank 1 bullies

You're in advantage of a broken system, I hope the vile behavior you exhibit makes you genuinely happen however I hope you learn to understand humility and respect for fellow humans. If you hold positions of power over others I hope you don't treat them with the same regard.

    Several people. I've been playing for 8 hours and went from rank 17 to 11, now i'm against but red and purple ranks with tool box add ons and red syringes for their medkits. I don't care what's fair, but it's not decent. They now the general chance is they'll be going against a much lower rank survivor which is why it's always red ranks with a yellow rank (I check profiles)

    My guy it's a video game and most swfs aren't death squads. The game certainly isn't balanced, but not many people are actually all that good at exploiting it

    So back to rank 12. I wait 10 minutes for a three minute match. I don't need advice because I break off chases but with gen distance so spread there's not much I can do.

    It is a video game, are you saying people should be apathetic to video games? Why should people watch tournaments, support developers, or streamers then if they don't feel emotion behind the experience?

    Must be a casual gamer.

    If you know you can't win then why get mad or play? I'm not telling you to quit the game but if its really THIS bad for you then why do you keep coming back?

    Not to be that dude but if you are having trouble right now I suggest practicing more, getting better perks, and trying a different gameplan.

    If you have all dlcs, go for clown and plague for their teachables, corrupt intervension, infectious fright from plague and pop goes the weasel from clown, it will make your life easier.

    If you don't have dlcs save 9k shards and buy clown, red ranks now a days arent that hard to play against

    It's not bad but if you're newer to the game i can see the struggle of trying out killer. Frequently i get red and purple ranks while in yellow ranks and it is a pain. It's worse when it's SWF but you can tell the difference between someone who has played for thousands of hours and someone who has played for only a couple hundred.

    To get better? I figured it's just calibrating me for high ranks so i'll be more adjusted to high rank gameplay.

    And they dont have to, because swf advantages are so massive they boost any team way up. Or are you denying that a team of swf will usually perform better than a team of randoms of eaqual skill?

    Then expect to be steam-rolled and stop taking the taunting to heart. T-bags and flashlight clicks mean nothing in reality.

    Since when is being Rank 1 an advantage of Power? I'd rather be Rank 15 again so I don't get a heart attack when going against toxic Survivors. What's worse is the people who ARE good enough to be Rank 1 but throw to low levels just so they can dominate the lower ranks.

    So even a rank 11 can 4k against redranks, cause redrank survs are literally below average. So killers also take advantage from this broken system.

    Yea... We totally aren't talking about a casual game.

    If you can't easily 4k against most red ranks easily, then get better. I could do this at yellow ranks. Most red ranks are potatoes anyway. If you aren't skilled at killer, play survivor. No one needs to hear someone complain about their lack of skill. Red ranks doesn't mean godlike lol.

    And what are they supposed to do? No one's going to baby you because of something that neither of you can control. Get better, and stop complaining.

    Where did I say that solos were just as good as swfs? I was just saying a vast majority of swfs aren't the death squads everyone seems to be scared of and you can beat them. Only way to fix swf is to buff solos to have just as good info and then buff killers accordingly

    Welp, hopefully everyone can just enjoy 10 minute survivor queue times when killers leave, I get the idea behind SWF, however I just went against yeeetttt another red rank squad with red gear add ons, I have whispers so I know what gen survivors are on and the gen was popped before I was even half way there, it was literally a four minute match.

    Been on both sides of it this morning play a game where killer and all my teammates where rank 20. I was a rank 4 at the time. Best thing I can say is when you forget about wins and losses it less of a big deal. Not everyone is looking to bully others or be toxic. Given a purple flashlight as peace offering because of blind challenge forced me to be mean.

    It sounds like you're still new to the game, you're going have to have rough games against more experienced players. Same for when new survivors go against experienced killers.

    Rather then worrying about your rank it's best to focus on improving your game.

    It'll get to the point where keeping away from rank 1 is a lot harder then getting to rank 1 as killer.

    People keep saying that pretty often and yet there seem to be enough killers all the time.

    But don't worry , if there will be a need I will play killer more than survivor.

    Since hitting green-purple ranks, I've begun to just admonish them like a little old lady. It gets some interesting reactions, both positive and negative and hilarious.

    Try to find a way to brush it off, or just close your chat box.

    How can I even compete with swf who complete a gen in 30 seconds?

    I'd attempt to upload images but everytime I try the site just spams the upload image window to the point where I have to pull up task manager and close the site.

    There's no denying it really, this game is FAR more intricate than it seems. Yes, I know that's true of most games, but this one really sets the bar high. I'm still learning new things after 3+ years; but I think that's something you come to appreciate in time.

    Practice, practice, practice.

    Take some time off from playing Killer and play the relatively easier role of Survivor. You'll learn how survivors think, where they like to hide, what perks work best for your play style, etc. That'll take your Killer-game to the next level.

    I can tell you this: if you DON'T throw in the towel now you'll come to really appreciate and enjoy this game, and even revel in your newfound skills.
