spoken like a true rank15 casual who cannot compete at rank1, which i know is correct from your previous posts on other threads. this thread isnt for you.
Ya except I'm rank1 rushing towards it every season in so little games that I'm very glad that they'll give me a way to pip slower by camping next patch, not because I think the game's too hard but because I'm not some tryhard and I want to toy with survivors instead of playing optimal each damn game. I can compete even without sound (no headset) and addons/offerings most of the time since I'm leveling (didn't have BBQ&Chilli till about 1 month ago) but kay mr troll
Me playing casually means I still reach your rank even with crap killers like freddy/lf/spirit and I can't even get out of it when I give people hatches, what does that say about you.

your wording is strange. you arent and have never been rank1, but will get there soon. lol ok
keep at it, get to rank1, and play there, for a long time, then do it as killer too, and then your opinion may matter on this vet only thread which you currently dont qualify for.0 -
You enjoy making a fool of yourself?
I'm only rank10 on my surv currently because I only play those with my GF or to farm BP by farming hooked teammates while watching a movie lol

I think they should ditch the current rank system and just have 3 tiers, and you can't drop out of one. The r difference in "skill" between rank 20-15, 14-8, and 8-1 is not that much. I wouldn't match groups based on this, but I'd show it post game. So matches would be much more varied in skill, and if you get stomped or crushed you can decide for yourself if rank made a difference and how you'll feel about that win or loss.
I *might* try to figure out a handicap system for miss matched tiers in the game, but not sure how that would work.1 -
they should just remove ranked entirely if they're not gonna reward it anyways. Would make the game way more relaxed.

For comments like this is why people say some killers just want ez matches.
If u wanna play competitive, do it. If you wanna play relaxed, just don't play competitive.I play relaxed most of the time since as said I'm mainly using BBQ&Chilli to level up my killers currently, what else do you want me to do? The "perkbuilds" that I use are perks that the bloodweb gives me till P3. I already rarely tunnel unless somebody unhooks a guy right in my face and doesn't even let me hit him (or if somebody teabags) I let one survivor go most of the time if he impressed me by juking me without using the braindead loops.
If I wanted to turn my game down even more aside from playing with music on most of the time I'd have to friggin miss on purpose which...oh wait I sometimes already do to keep the tension up. From R2-R1 onward there's only optimized playing, you can't toy with survivors there most of the time unless you bring addons or face a flashlight SWF that is more interested in playing for the lulz.
And yes you read that comment correctly, I want ez matches where survivors are basically mice and I'm a cat. If I want to play a competitive game I'll play a moba or quake, heck even WoW's arena is more sophisticated than this game when it comes to competitive PvP

There are more extremes in matches at Rank 1, that's about the only difference. When they readjusted the emblems, they made is disgustingly easy to Rank up. I should probably be around Ranks 8-5 or so, but I can't even depip playing in Rank 1 matches because the emblem system makes it too easy. I'll get rekt and depip, but then have a decent match and end up pipping. They should reward Survivors for actually Surviving and penalize them for dying in a match. Just watching my own matches, I almost always score better when I die than when I actually survive.
I am a random, scrub solo queue'er. Some matches I do horrible and get killed out quick, other times I'll do great and carry the team out the exit gates. I see a lot more 4k or 0k matches at the high ranks than I did when I was playing in the purples. There it was a lot of 1-2k or 2k-3k. 4k sometimes, rarely a 0k. Just feels like Rank 1 the matches are either pretty easy or really vicious. Not a whole lot of the challenging ones that feel good to survive in or at least help your teammates escape.
I really think the emblem system should be rebalanced to make it harder to Rank up. Right now it's aimed way too casual.

The reason you see a disparity at r1 is because sometimes you will have survivors bringing tons of addons/items that make the game trivial. 25% more repairspeed through a toolbox shouldn't be possible in a game where genrushing is a problem already.
On the other hand if a killer brings an ebony mori into an itemless decisiveless survivor game it's basically a free win unless the survs are hardcore and the map allows strong loops.
Also most killlers let's be honest don't have a high skill ceiling, the ones relying on mindgames are basically relying on survivors ######### up, nurse is downright broken and ignores most things that survs can do to survive and billy is the only one I'd consider well balanced even tho he gets looped to ######### he punishes really bad survivor mistakes heavily by 1shotting them. All this feeds into the game feeling unbalanced.

I'm rank1 since about the start of season LOL and I've been rank1 so far every season since I gave this game another chance even as freddy, the arguably worst killer in the game especially without his addons. In fact most of my complaints stem from not being able to get away from rank1 unless I DC.
The only one embarassing himself is you. "Veterans" rofl, go play a real actual competitive game at high level then come back instead of trying out bragging rights in a game infested with e-grills even at the highest rank.

a quick steam search for the name in this picture you posted “iridescentshardfarm” shows no results, so im doubting thats even you, since nobody on steam right now has that name.
did you google that picture? lolanyhow, you can tell from the OP votes that the majority agree with me, and can also tell that the vets agree from reading the thread. you will understand in time. until then, you should sit down and take notes, no offensefor reference, heres how it should look, with your actual name.0 -
How does it feel to have your wannabe psychological analysis crushed? I'm just not part of your little bubble, I want the game to be balanced in a way that makes sense.

Except the only BP event that happened or at least that I knew of was last month, I'm rank 1 literally since I started playing killer and the worst one at that, heck that was during my first 200 hours of this game where I didn't have perks such as ruin, BBQ or even NOED. But at this point I think you're either trolling or in denial.
Also your whole thread is about rank mattering when literally a 50 hour killer who runs freddy can reach rank1 without even trying and without having extensive amounts of addons and offerings LOL.
The killers here on this forum are ridiculous if you think that you're super skilled when there's even such a thing as aim-assist in this game.

I really liked this post, it shows the reality with this CASUAL community, 100% agree with eveything that OP said!

You should probably mention that purposely de-ranking essentially forces the game to pair you with/against less experienced players. Giving them a harder time, and being more likely to push them away from the game, than if those players were to be paired with/against similarly leveled players.
If the goal is simply "fun" (Curb-stomping every match), then de-ranking is quite literally the fastest method to get to an area where you'll have the most "fun".
the threshold for dc bans should be much lower. maybe 20%. then people wouldnt be ragequitting every time they get caught. fortunately i see slightly less dcs at rank1 than low ranks.0 -

You don't need to stomp those players to have fun, I intentionally miss, let them escape n stuff. It's a great feeling being in control 100% of the time, too sad it's over at around what..20 matches? since you pip even if you let 2+ escape if you stomped them hard and hooked them twice each person.

Funny are also "vets" with 2000 hours that took 2 months to get to r10 as killer in a system where they only had to facecamp 2 kills to pip. Barely has any of the Adept achievements, it's almost like he's very reliant on those addons and perks
But hey, maybe I'll put my stuff on youtube so you can learn from an actual gamer, I stopped playing other competitive games a while ago tho, once you're in your 30s you become slower, DBD is the perfect game for me in that regard since it's mostly slow and easy

Warning. this thread will either make total sense if youre a vet, or upset you if youre a casual. if you find yourself getting upset about it, back up and recognize that it wasnt intended for you.We regularly hear from low rank randos about how rank doesnt matter.
The truth however is that is does. The gameplay is far different at rank1 than rank15. At rank1, you deal with far more skilled players on both sides, who are bringing better items, using better offerings, and i see moris at least 50% of games.
The harsh reality is that the average player is bad, real bad. the majority of our population plays between rank10-20, however humans dont do well with thinking they are average. Its far easier to play at scrub ranks and tell themselves that rank simply doesnt matter, or that rank1 just isnt fun, which actually translates into “i get less points and survive/kill less at rank1”.
The result of all this, is that you see well known and even sponsored streamers DCing to play at rank15, because they can convince themselves and their followers that this is where the game is “fun”.
fun, means differnent things to different people, but for people who play at rank1, we play for a challenge, not SWFing down rank15 killers. if we didnt play for a challenge, we would be deranking to earn more bp per game with easier wins.
people need to start supporting actual skilled players, not these deranking scrubs. if the person youre watching is DCing, or running SWF and bullying low rank killers, stop supporting them.
if you like watching survivor gameplay, find some solo survivor, preferably one who plays with no items or offerings, or no perks even, and watch them. you will learn more, see better gameplay, and ultimately be doing right by the game and its community by not supporting bad streamers.
on a more personal level, if youre a player, stop DCing. get to rank1 and play there. your achievement for “getting there” means nothing. actually play there, for the rest of whatever season, and the next, and the next. you will be better for it.
if this thread makes no sense to you, or is offensive, then you do not play at rank1. you may have got there during a double bp farming event for the achievement, but you clearly arent playing there.
No matter your insults .
I am of the view that rank is just a badge that everyone wears. Hell i remember as killer many "rank 1'ns" that were the weak links of that game while the rank 8- 5 players were the strong ones.
So cut the crap.
But nice bait i rate it 7 of 10 .

You needed 2 kills and a hook.
and at the time it was a lot more streeful playing killer by the way.

You think Rank = Skill? Hilarious. I've been playing since Beta, does my opinion count?
It's too easy to rank up on either side. Rank means absolutely nothing. Imagine getting a brand new account on OverWatch and hitting Grand Master in 50 hours. That's the equivalent in Dead By Daylight.
You talk about competition in a 4 v 1 video game. You don't know what competition is.
When I sit down and play Killer for 10 hours, hit Rank 1, and maintain it all month.. There is a problem. There's no such thing as "skill based" matchmaking in this game, so far less inexperienced players play with and against much more experienced players.
The first emblem season where everyone cried about the difficulty to rank up as Survivor, I played without perks. Guess what? I still hit R1 even in that time. I'm washed up in this game and play far less than I used to.
From someone who's played since beta. It's never been a better time to play Killer, and it's never been more irritating to play Solo Survivor.

how can this be competitive game when both sides can win?
competition a contest between rivals
contest a struggle for superiority or victorycan't have a contest if both sides can achieve victory
can't have competition if there is no contest
Both parties can achieve victory in DbD
therefore DbD is not competitivethis is true as long as victory in DbD is defined by attaining a pip

Survivors were originally not meant to be a group @Aviema the game was meant to b 1v1v1v1v1. Survive at the cost of others0

I got to rank1 toying with survivors and unless there's rewards for going further beyond I see no reason as to why I should try to master the game further, besides the only thing you can master in this game that actually helps you at high rank is predicting where they run in the big loops which get removed as we speak, groaning storehouse cough.

like i said in the op, the low skilled randos always claim that a game isnt competitive, not only in dbd, but any game they are playing. ive heard that from the losing side in every game ive ever played.
no worries, like i said in the op, salt from randos was unfortunately expected on this thread.0
