Pipping with bubba in red ranks

I've found to be really difficult with bubba to pip up specially in red ranks to the point that i hook 12 times in a game and i still only get ruthless. I've never really cared about ranks but with the new update they will offer rewards and it will actually matter, at least a bit. I wish chainsaw hit points weren't capped so low so i could get max points without having to resort to m1 attacks. Have you been having the same "issue" or am i alone in this?

    Plague and billy suffer from this too.

    This is about the chaser emblem, which counts the hits and chases in a match. All insta-down killers have this issue where they don't pip because they have half the chases and hits than other killers, which is quite ridiculous. The fact tht a hit with Legion's power conts the same towards the emblem than a chanisaw hit for Bubba or Billy is downright stupid.

    I hope we can reach the devs and they tweak a bit the numbers, seems like a totally uncontroversial change and easy to make.

    I don't understand why pipping is so important to some people. The system is flawed in a way that favors people with playtime, plus anyone in red ranks would love the chance to de - pip into purple ranks.

    Even with the incentives it's kind of meh. The rewards are bloodpoints, and anyone with a couple BPS and BBQ could earn more than 500,000 from a couple matches.

    Red requires 4 iri to double pip. Think you're asking for too much? Gens are going to pop fast in upper ranks. Also using the chainsaw on healthy survivors cuts into your chase emblem.

    Speed limiter is actually a really good way to pip with bubba. If survivor is outpositioned, you should be able to down them quickly even with speed limiter. Maybe speed limiter with iri flesh if you feel it's difficult.

    "Everyone in red ranks wants to depip to purple". No i don't, if i go derank i have a higher chance to play against new players and have a boring match.

    And I specifically said AFTER the update when ranks won't matter in matchmaking and only for the extra BP rewards. I don't understand how something so benign could bother you in any way. I think it's just complaining for the sake of complaining at this point.

    Are there killers in the game that’s it is easier to pip with?

    Its an instadown problem. All of the killers who have this ability suffer from the same issue.
