Ranking up is too easy as killer.

Like lol, I always legit manage to stay at rank 1. Despite me only getting 1 sacrifice. Like it's crazy how one just needs to hook a couple of times, and one can still stay at the same rank. Why is solo survivor not as easy to rank up?

    Honestly, depends on which Killer you are playing. Like, I believe it is impossible to depip with Legion, but some others really get ######### by the Emblem System.

    But overall, yes, ranking up is easier as Killer. At least from my experience, I get way more Double Pips or Blackpips (during bad games), compared to Survivor.

    Yep the sad part is you have to rely on 3 random players to rank up... and hope that they are decent at the game. Not only that sometimes I get more points when playing survivor compared to killer yet I still lose pips.

    I don't It's just that I don't wanna be a high ranked killer 😂 Which I always end up as sadly.

    then stop bringing add ons and run less meta perks and forgo tunneling and camping entirely, if you already do all of those things you should pick up streaming, im sure you could make decent money doing that.

    As people said before, ranking up as killer is easier because your success on the trial does not depend on 3 other "goofballs" disconnecting/trolling/unhooking unsafely/etc.

    Also sometimes if the killer is bad you don't get a chance to unhook anyone and you get less emblem points so you can't rank up efficiently on those trials.

    I agree double pipping is way easier for killer than survivor but in my experience normal pipping is way easier for survivors than for killers.


    Either way, ranking up is too easy in general.

    Survivor is not easy to rank up????? What servers you playing on? I am red rank since 2 weeks I started playing this game. And I never played swf, only solo all the time and most rank resets I am rank 1

    That's because as killer you're relying only on yourself to pip, meanwhile as survivor the emblem system basically forces you to do half the work of the team if you want a pip. It's not rare for me to do almost 30k points and then still black pip lmao.

    Man it's still not good enough. I am constantly on killers that only have 1 tier 3 perk, not my mains, not much add-ons and still don't de-pip unless I play tremendously horrible. Couple of hooks, constant chase, and kick a few gens is all it takes to safety pip. Well unless of course I am Mike or Plague they don't do great for emblems unless you 12 hook.

    Honestly that's largely because the killer emblems feel into one another. So you're constantly fill two plus emblems at a time.

    As others have said, its killer dependent. I know plague is horrible for pipping. As an Oni main, I never really double pip and only single pip. From what I’ve seen, it’s because I get few hooks since I play a slugging killer. Survivors also want to heal against Oni, so that’s a bit off there.
