rank system = unfair!

in Feedback and Suggestions

few weeks ago i sugested a small change to the rank system that would make matches more fair.
it comes down to this: rank is split between how good someone is in chasing/evading. and the rest.
a developer that i sugested this change to reply'd that the rank is already mainly looking at this. wich is not true.

as is right now. rank is desided on the 4 emblems equally. meaning u can get a rank up wile being horrible in evading the killer. saidly this also means ur able to rank down wile being great in looping. (u simply dont do the rest).

this saidly tells me (i might be wrong) that the developers either: dont care about feedback if its balance related. or are survivor sided cause thats where 4/5 of their community is.

now with the latest dead by daylight video mentioning changes to perks we again see the same problem.
horrible and never-used perks are getting a buff. however for the already good perks. only the killer gets a nerf in the form of tinkerer.
yes they did mention that changes to ds selfcare and hatches were still in the making. but woulnt be in next patch.

wich brings me to the perk ds. about a month ago the developers mentioned a change to ds that they were testing out. honestly. if this change actually makes it into the game. i will have no reason NOT to camp anymore.

the report system. its been made very clear to me that punishing those that cheat (in the form of glitching into specifiic locations or straight up hacks all the way to a DDOS attack) either doesnt happen. or cant happen.
as of my knowing. in the 3 years that i played dbd. ive been hit by a DDOS twice. and saidly. i cant report this. nor am i able to prove this to a developer, not even with a recording. when it comes to glitching in specific locations. the devs stated this. when ur killer: just quit the game. when ur a survivor: use the ingame report system.

lastly i got 2 requests for dbd.
1. talk to the community more. reply to threads make sure u mention something that was mentioned. and not the standard copy/paste bs. actually make it clear to the community that u are listening. dont just say that u do in a chat or livestream.
2. find a way to inform us if a report resulted into punishment. as is right now. i feel like reporting anyone does nothing. the ingame report system gives us examples of what to report for. yet at the same time i hear that the devs dont punish for most of them. like being rude for example is an option. yet i get yelled at to go kill myself in many matches that i win. and thats not even talking about all the insults.

    Simple fix for rank: rank reset only happens if you're at rank 10-20. If you're at rank 1-9 then you don't get reset.

    what you mean you don't I was rank 6 and went to 12 I do think the ranking is pointless tho.

    I'm main killer in rank 1 and I am so tired of playing against survivors who don't have any skill, this survivors only know to hide like rats because they are really very bad.

    They need to fix the rank system!

    Yep, I know I don't have the skill yet to be in the upper ranks. I was posting match results in the balance forums about ranking. It's ridiculous that someone like me with limited skill can rank up so easily. I really should be in the green ranks and yet I am sitting in the purple ranks. I am afraid I will get to the red ranks and never survive a legitimate match. That is why I de-rank to the green ranks where I believe I belong.
