Ofcourse it had to be a toxic Red Rank...
I'm currently Ran 13, my highest was 10. I know I never win on that Deathslinger map but I was chasing this survivor for the longest time so that I can down her and get my 4th hook for BBQ and they literally just wasted my time, they're teabagging like you know you're more skilled than me and I have no chance of beating you in the chase, just let me get the damn hook then you can use your stupid key and escape.
This game should just remove the rank system because I'm not sure how I'm supposed to feel when I am matched up with Rank 3+ players. If it's not there then I'll just accept the fact that I suck and a broken matchmaking system is not trying to screw me over.

Unfortunately, you're going to get those matches where you're up against people who are ranked higher AND more skilled than you. Match making IS a mess right now.
My recommendation to killers who find themselves in higher ranked lobbies than they should be is to try to pick out the weakest links first. It's often the immersive players that you don't find immediately. The players that show themselves to you right away are the ones you often don't want to chase too long. If you catch them in a bad spot, go ahead and dedicate some time to trying to down them, especially if you have absolutely no clue of the whereabouts of anyone else. But if you quickly figure out that you will NOT be catching a player who outclasses you in skill, it's more than ok to give up on them and look for someone else. If you're a low rank killer, you can still dismantle a team with only one or two really good players on it. Survivor side is team based and a rank 1 sicko is gonna have a hard time escaping against a low rank killer if his team isn't useful.
When I play with my boyfriend and our lesser skilled friends, killers often make the mistake of chasing him instead of virtually anyone else on the team. They get mad about how they can't catch him. You WILL catch them in the end if you tear down the rest of the team first. He wants to be chased, he is better at running than a lot of killers are at chasing, and he will waste a lot of time. In the meantime, players who can't run a killer longer than 20 seconds are sitting on gens. Find them and hook them instead if you can.
If you get a high rank team with all good players... honestly... I don't know what to tell you. It's a real issue with the game right now. My friends and I are red and purple ranks and we got 2 DCs in a row last night. When we looked at the ranks, one was 12, the other was 15. We felt so sorry for the killers.

Sometimes you eat the bear, and sometimes he eats you. This game is a stress simulator. That is somehow fitting because it is based on a horror genre in theory, and those films are all about creating and sustaining stress. The bigger the stress, the greater the release when it tones down. You get the idea. While I despise bad sportsmanship, and tea-bagging is certainly that, you can't let that stuff get to you. What happens in the match, stays in the match. If you end up against better people than you, just give it 100% and laugh off the tea-bagging and Salt. You will learn faster. Think of it like a sort of Boot Camp where you will get the last laugh and one day make the Drill Instructors pay dearly.
I am still very new. There are people who have been playing this game here since 2016. I started in time to experience pre-matchmacking, matchmaking, and the current post-matchmaking. As a result, I ended up constantly fighting two levels above my Rank. I was fighting Red+Purple when I was Green. I was fighting pretty much all Red (or mostly Red) by the time I was Purple. While I found it flattering that the game thought I was "ready for the Show" so to speak, it really frustrated me. In hindsight, I learned a lot. Play against the best and you will get stomped. I make no bones about that. Each match will be a grueling, painful testament to how bad you are in comparison to them. But you do get better, and you get better fast.
And take it with a grain of salt that even the best have bad games. All those awesome Streamers you see are choosing which videos to show us. They lose games too, and some of them even show us the losses. While this game does rely a lot of skill and experience, it also has a considerable luck factor. Sometimes you are just in the right place at the wrong time. That is why you cannot fixate on an individual game. That will drive you crazy. You set long term goals and you move toward them. In the face of that, the odd setback is really just par for the course.

I logged back in just to upvote this post. I never got teabagging in this game. My experiences against really good killers is that you don't even have time for it. Nothing is better than jumping into a game and unleashing a barrage of attacks so accurate and deadly that it demands respect from the survivors. And if they don't show it? They die. It's that simple.

Tbh I don't really play Killer to 4 stacks which only happens vs Rank 14 and below, killers are considerably weaker than survivors (if not then there would have been way more killer mains) I've heard the excuses a million times already, the game needs a lot of rework and balance fixing.
The only thing causing stress is not really the survivors abusing their advantage (the honest truth is killers get ironically more stressed than survivors) but most of the time it's framerates or servers not connecting hits, etc. There are games I get my arse handed to me and I don't complain because it felt fair but DBD ain't one of them. I do still play the game casually 4-5 hours everyday.
