There's still something off about grades
I previously made a poll where people agreed for the matchmaking to be based on grades, and I think the devs actually took action, but there's still one flaw. Grade reset. The grades completely reset every month on the 13th day. This just punches another hole in the matchmaking system, cause every 13th of the month, the matchmaking becomes awful for everybody. I suggest you go back to the previous group, for example you are Gold III, you go back to Silver I. Kinda like in DBD mobile. But if you are in Ash ranks, it will bring you all the way to Ash IV (cause Ash ranks are the lowest)

I completely agree, it should reset you back to the previous group
Correct me if I'm wrong about matchmaking now being based on grades, but I think it is based on that.

It doesn't affect me, do whatever you want
matchmaking is based off hidden mmr number which is hidden and is different for each killer.

Grades are not used for matchmaking. Matchmaking is done using a hidden MMR Score. Grades are there to show time played during a season and Grade reset does not affect MMR - MMR does not reset.

I agree a bit, but the grades could go a little further
By a little further, I think it would be best if Grades were in some way representative of your SBMM rating via percentages.
If Iridescent I's were in the top 5% of DbD players worldwide, you'd know that it's an earned emblem.
If Ash 20's were in the bottom 5% of DbD players, according to the SBMM, you'd know they're newer.
You can lose your emblem if your SBMM changes, but I don't think people should lose their scores back at ALL on a reset.
If anything - every 13th should be the end of the month, which should shift your 'current' SBMM score to 0 and your 'Seasonal' SBMM score in stone with what you had the day before. So you may or may not lose ranks on the 13th, but it would be a lot better than being sent back an entire color spectrum... or having to start from the bottom all over again.

I know they were used, but in my recent matches, not only does it now show the grade (which is an indication already), but also they stay around my rank. When MMR's hidden score was used, not only did it not show the grades, but also there was a wobble in the games I played.Ok, once the test results were shown, yes, I saw everything what was going on about the tests, and I just realized, that the settings placed there were actually ok for matchmaking! But still, Grades and SBMM should be reworked.
And also sorry, I did not realize that until I saw your comment. (I use a dark-mode browser extension so I couldn't see that vibrant BHVR mark.)

Mandy is an employee of BHVR. You can believe what she is saying is true.
the grades were only invisible for a MMR test for one day.

eh. At certain stuff, sure. But in this case it really doesn’t make any sense.

It should go back to the old emblem(rank) system not grades. You don’t need to play consistently well to go up in grades that’s why bad players get to the iri grades. You only have to play good, have luck, or farm a few games and play a lot to go up in grades. You hit check points to where you won’t go down. That’s the problem. It makes average player get up to the “high” ranks.We need to go back to the old system where you had to play really well all of the time to maintain your rank.
