    Unless you derank on purpose, some players will end up there by just playing their normal game.

    Well idk what you like so idk what to say to keep you there either.
    For example, if you like high rank plays, i'd say: Stay there to have fun.

    Well it doesn't really matter since I'm facing red, purple, green and rank 20 in one game. So why even bother with the rank? It's just a number that's there. I've seen more skilled level 15 then reds.

    Rank means nothing to me. I just play the game and try to enjoy what I can.

    I guess there's a certain type of people like me who are competitive and just always try to aim for the highest rank in a game, like me. But otherwise, there's no reason to be rank 1 for example. Only gets you ######### survivor rounds and doesn't reward you in the slightest to deal with ######### survivors.

    I play normally, i generally do pretty good as both survivor and killer and I've ended up being at rank 2 for both. I have stumbled upon an area where 85% of the matches i get there are toxic or insane try hard players or plain idiot teammates who don't do anything useful. 
    It isn't fun up here everyone is insane, I'm starting to lose hope. I get bored when I climb ranks because it's just not fun anymore. Plus i keeo getting coldwind nonstop usually get put against billy with maybe a mori and it gets old after a while.

    Since you can rank up just doing objectives even if you dont escape it doesn't mean anything for me.

    Just hit rank 1 after 2 weeks of playing the game for the 1st time with survivor.
    As a killer, survivors will be a bunch of useless toxic kids teabagging and wasting time. Oh, wow, I couldn't blind you and you hook me? *DCs* Did you hit me while standing still teabagging in front of you?  *DCs* Gets down 1st *DCs* Let's go 3 to save 1 and die all together. I could keep going lul

    If u dont have the SKILL that it takes to stay at high rank then u are a CASUAL! If being at Rank 1 by itself is not enough for u, all i have to say is...

    Can we please get a casual mode. Seriously id like to be able to help ease my friends into this game whom are new without them facing ######### like mint rag hag because my goddamn rank is to high.

    The issue with every game being perma ranked is that no killer or survivour wants to chill or focus time on practising a specific element of their killer like deliberately hunting others far away to improve their tracking capabilities or pick up a new killer whom they have little to no experiance with.

    Also why not award shards for end of season rank. That way people wouldn't be gaming the system to derank and exploit weaker players.

    How would casual mode stop people from playing to win?

    Casual mode would have more gens and hook stages. Probably less camping and less gen rush.

    Why stay at high ranks? So you can keep bragging about it?

    Zero reason to stay high rank.  I’ll keep my Killer at R1, don’t really care about it.  Survivor R1 makes me hate the game.  Thankfully I played so “poorly” yesterday, I went from R1 Survivor to R9.  So unlucky ☹️🙂

    You don't have to stay in high ranks just dont be that guy who depips to rank 15 to play against noobs. I got no respect for people like that. I stay in high ranks for the soul reason of I don't want to destroy every group because my skill as a killer is better than their skill as a survivor. Example I can't play rank 10 seriously or else I always 4k except when I find a swf derank rank squad (screw those people bullying unskilled killers). In short I just find it boring if I can't have a challenge and I hate playing against unskilled players.
