Rank needs to be removed

I'm a killer/survivor main and solo que 99% of the time. The que times are awful especially leading into the evening because people aren't playing killer as much due to toxic swf teams. As a result, I wait 5 minutes waiting for a game (as a red rank) only to be paired up with countless green, yellow or brown rank survivors as teammates and a purple or red rank killer. If I'm going to be babysitting during matches at least allow the que times to be faster and just pair me up with them right away rather than wait.

    If you are both killer/survivor main, then simply play killer if survivor queues are long and play survivor when killer queues are long. Problem solved.

    Wish granted. Ranks will be removed.

    What are your other 2 wishes?

    It's not active just yet the developers have already said its still being tested in the background.

    I thought that update had already gone into effect. Can see the changes to the HUD and maps already.

    Please note: These changes will not be available immediately alongside the 4.5.0 update. This system will require further testing before it is fully enabled.

    I thought MMR was already active. If it's not, then we are having problems with ranks again, because I often get paired with a lot of different ranks, sometimes like rank 15 (I'm rank 5 at the moment). At this point, if the matchmaking is broken, might as well not have ranks anyway.

    This says the new MMR system will come out soon, they have said the same thing about cross progression with Nintendo and look where that's gotten us.

    I thought they were resetting everyone to 20 with this most recent patch anyways.. I guess that is tied to "mmr" ?

    It should have come out with the last rank reset. But was postponed. Probably due to well... the issues we have right now.

    MMR is being implemented. After that Rank will only be used to award BP at the end of a season

    Nice, MMR would be implemented, super, if you're good, in a few games you'll met the sweatier killers or SWF, being pretty decent will reward you with giving super hard games. And as a good survivor, you'll met only top tier killers, Oni, Hag, Spirit, Nurse, Freddy. I don't want, if I'm good, to go to harder and harder games, sweatier and sweatier games, and I don't want to lose to have healthier/funnier games.

    Ranks are inaccurate, and that is actually good, because it can put you with a lot of different players in term of level. So queuing time is shorter. With MMR, it would be accurate, the matchmaking will tend to put you with players with a very similar skill scores you have, reducing the amount of player you can play with.

    Do you really want that ?

    As a survivor, do you really want to go against same killers over and over ?

    As a killer, do you really want to go against super effective teams or sweaty solo survivors over and over ?

    I'm sorry, but Dead By Daylight must have TWO matchmaking :

    • Quick Game, with the current Rank System, and even larger tagging.
    • Competitive Game, with MMR, and skill score (also named ELO I think ?)

    Dead By Daylight is a unique experience in term of gaming, I don't want it to become a freaking hard competitive StarCraft like matchmaking, I love this game because I play, I'm not working to be the best player, and I bought it, and play to this game because it's a cool game, a COOL game.

    If the game becomes competitive, I'm sorry, but I'll quit.

    I already meet the sweatier killers or SWF as a red rank survivor/killer. MMR does nothing for me except increase the level of my team when I'm playing as a survivor. If your not wanting the game to be competitive, I suggest not pipping past yellow ranks or throwing games to make sure you stay at lower MMR.

    Of course with rank system you'll meet SWF, I never said the opposite. But with time, MMR will be competitive, and that is not good for the game.

    And I'm rank 1 killer for roughly 7 months, don't tell me that cool games are only yellow, I want cool and interesting games, not cool games because people can't play properly, each time as a survivor I play with green ranks, it's disgusting how you can not win because they play badly. And as a killer, facing green ranks and below makes me feel bad because they couldn't do anything, 4K 5gen left.

    To think everybody in red ranks is sweaty is extremely wrong. You can be good, playing without being super efficient and win. As a survivor, for example, I try to get the killer attention because I want chase interactions, and when the killer is occupied I don't tryhard gen to have an absolute fast win, I make gen because it's the objective, but I won't directly sit on another gen and repair it, even if someone is hooked. I'll go save the guy, I'll heal him, and try to get the chase.

    Same as a killer, I won't tunnel and camp someone to take him out of the game and guarantee a win, I'll choose who to chase to make them live longer and make them having a good game. But hey, I'm rank 1 as a killer, and it annoys me when I face super efficient SWF with brand new part, OoO, forcing the Decisive strike, and because I won't take the DS, let them get away with unbreakable.

    I don't want to meet commonly that type of game because I'm a Nurse, and I'm good without pushing me to win, and it will lead me to face more and more SWF and sweaty surv who make games super fast and annoying.

    Oh and, officially (at least officially, but unofficially maybe it is here, the tagging is weird these last months) MMR is not here, they say they are working on it and they'll put it soon. And even it would be here, the system is young, so not perfectly set. A good ranking system takes time before everyone has a good representative skill score.
