Low ranks are amazing (just be nice)

I got resetted to rank 9 as survivor 2 times lately because i don't play it as often as killer and only solo lately aswell. Not exactly low rank but because of matchmaking i've seen a lot of yellow rank survivors and killers. I also played with a friend for a while who never got past rank 15 (then stopped with the game).

My experience is, that survivors are much nicer, but i think part of it is that they're more scared and not as confident in their abilities as red ranks. They still fear the killer and the game is more of an adventure for them than some sweaty sport. I've also seen much less toxicity, obviously these people don't have this toxic relationship/ addiction with the game that a lot of >1k hours red ranks have and which causes a lot of frustration and toxicity.

Killers on the other hand camped a lot more, i think for the same reason, they're insecure and don't trust their abilities because of crushing experiences with red rank teams and rather stay near hook and wait for them to come. It also works consistently in these ranks.

There were some really frustrating moments because of missing game sense (letting me go into second stage without any need for it) but besides that i enjoy my green/purple rank games after reset so far.

I got reset from 1 to 20 as killer and have had the opposite experience. I'm a try hard though so maybe the survivors were just salty. At rank 1 survivors usually don't say much.

I've enjoyed being a rank 17 survivor for the first time in months. But unfortunately my killer only went from 5 to 7...

Totally agree. The best experience I have in this game is around green ranks. Survivors know what they're doing, generally, but they're not dicks about it.

Unfortunately hitting purple tends to put me with red ranks anyway.

Really, I'm always baffled at how sweaty and malicious people get after rank reset just to get 'back' to red ranks, and how they only ever seem to mock new/casual players.

Like, honest question to everyone upset at the rank hiccup: are you going to lose a vital organ if you take things easy from time to time?

I feel so bad for the actual low rank killers I've been facing. Can definitely tell what would normally be a low rank killer v one that got the reset bug and should be high rank. I feel like such a bully with the ones that are committing to chases they shouldn't or can't even hook a person all match. I keep giving them kill at end because I can't imagine these matches are feeling nice to them.

Yeah, that's where it starts getting rough. I tend to just meme around at that point with a weaker killer, normally Legion just for farming bloodpoints!

That and the occasional red rank swf that ass blast me into oblivion!

I played last night and can confirm, there are actually good sports around the lower ranks. They actually COMPLIMENTED me like wth man. It is pretty uncommon for them to actually praise me for slaughtering them, usually I get death threats and the classic "Get a fricking life you absolute trash killer main".

There were only two matches where the survivors were salty, at their teammates. One guy was just going AFK randomly but then would move once I started to chase her. The other game, the survivors were just incompetent and did not go for a save and let one person die while the other person went to struggle.

This is a generalisation of course, but red ranks get cocky. They think they know the game so well, but are in fact blaming their failures on other parts of the game, like "camping bubbas" or "stridor spirit". So they give up or DC over the smallest of issues that offend them.

This isn't a red rank I know (again, it's a generalisation, and who knows what rank any of these people were two days ago) but this is the sort of thing I mean, that you see regularly in red ranks and not so much in the lower ranks. You can probably tell from the picture alone, but Feng with the key was caught by Ghost Face about 20 seconds into the game, where she promptly DCd.

I haven't blocked names out, because the other players were totally fine, and you can't actually tell what Feng's name is because two characters failed to display.

It was actually one of the better games I've had in a long time, honestly thought I was dead on several occasions, and the GF would have got a lot more points if he had a fourth player to get a couple of hooks and some chases out of.
