Bring back visible Ranks in lobbies for survivors.

I'm slowly losing what little faith I have in humanity when I get into a match and my teammates are playing terribly (crouching in corners/can't finish a single gen due to failing skillchecks constantly). I'd rather dodge the lobby and hope for a better one than suffer through what is essentially a 1v2 (I usually have 1 semi competent teammate).

    I get where you’re coming from, but I’ll tell you right now that I’m not gonna wait 15 minutes for a lobby and then dodge out cuz I see a Rank 14.

    (Seriously though, I really do see where you’re coming from!)

    I kinda feel the same too lately, it seems like every lobby I get with a survivor where more and more people are yellow ranks and yet I am red. but as a killer, I go against rank 1s. I think this poor matchmaking is the awful "hidden rank" system. what is the point of having a deceptive rank when you are being matchmade from another unknowable algorithm?

    Why? Ranks are disappearing anyway.

    They'll only be used to show a players progress to the monthly payout.

    People haven't learned anything from the last time I guess. If you forgot, this was removed from the game because the insane amount of lobby dodgers lead to much longer queue times. So no thanks, we don't need longer queue times that we already got.

    I would love to dodge the survivors who DC just as they get hit or hooked. Played for a few hours last night and almost every other game there was someone who DC just because they get hit or hooked?? I dont mind bad players as much as one or more who quit after something that happens they dont like!! One game three players did it!

    wouldnt you dodge lobby when you see ranks 20, 19, 12 while you sit at rank 2? sure you would

    I would say the killer deserves to see their ranks. Especially if they are a 4 man red rank SWF while I’m a rank 14. I don’t think seeing ranks as survivors is necessary though. The game is just too easy anyway for them.

    I'd love to see their ranks as a killer so I know how sweaty to be. I feel bad powering out a group of 15's, mainly because I remember that from when I first started, but not gonna take the risk of going easy when I'm more likely to face 1-8 and get my soft ass served to me.

    Unfortunately though, I can 100% see why this can never be implemented =/.
