Rank reset should be twice a month

The reason is that once a month is enough time for "noob" survivors to get to rank 1, cuz they black pip most of the time and eventually pip here and there. So they will get to rank 1 eventually.
The plan is: I want decent and good survivor mates if I play solo Q, pretty sick of these noob mates dropping shack pallet in the first minute of the match.
It's just a QoL change for solo survivors, so bad survivors don't even come near to red ranks

    That would be nice and all, but it would make it impossible for some people that don’t get to play it enough. Instead of this they should just bring back the old rank reset and get reset to 20.

    I personally think there should be a rank reset even less than now. There should be one every two months. The PROBLEM is that the ranking system sucks. It's because they don't have a casual mode, they have to make the "ranking" super easy, for the people who just play casually. There has to be a casual mode, then a ranked mode, then they need to make it harder to rank up.

    What's the problem if it's not possible for some people anymore? Ranks doesn't mean anything cuz they is no reward for hitting rank 1
    It's just a fix to get the noobs out of high ranks

    Okay, but doing a rank reset twice a months is easier to do than ur suggestion. We are waiting for 2 years for separate game modes for casuals, still nothing happened. I just want the noobs out of red ranks, nothing more or less right now

    And what if people don't play the game everyday?

    because it's basically the same affect as the old rank resets but more meaningful with the rank numbers. It would have the same affect, as everyone being rank 20 so people at rank 1 meant they spent more time and effort in getting rank 1. If rank reset would be twice a month, it wouldnt change anything because if they were rank 1 it didnt mean they were good it meant they play the game too much.

    If that’s what you want then you should aim to make PIPing harder then.

    Red Ranks are more indicative of play time than anything else right now.

    Making Rank Reset every 2 months, while also making it harder to PIP, will more accurately put people in their skill zone and for a longer time.

    They stay at low rank, cuz they are potentionally not that good an anyway. What's the problem?  U act like there is a reward for ranking up lol

    We are waiting to long for that, devs haven't done anything. Yet, pipping is easier than never before

    Is it currently once a month, I like once a month more than twice, because everytime rank reset happens players exploit this to enter low ranks for easy 4k or escapes

    Instead of making reset more often, they just need to make ranking up an actual accomplishment.
    It's way too easy to pip as survivor as it is, and that's the real issue. BUT if you make it even a tiny challenge to pip people freak out because "I'm totally rank 1 material, it's the game that's unfair, not my lack of skills!".

    This game shouldn't even have ranking though tbh.

    Fix the rankings instead of doing reset twice a month. Rankings is about how much you play the game, not how good you are at playing it. My wife is horrible at Killer, but can pip nearly match. I completely suck at survivor, but still pip every match.
