First, we don’t have complete control over what we can do in a game. Second a game should be rewarding and not punishing. It makes people (myself) want to turn the game off because I spend hours playing these only to be penalized if I can’t “do enough” of things I can’t control.


Please remove the pip penalty and either let us pip or not.

    Might only encourage more DC's. You know what people are like. Dummy spitter's.

    Then I would say if you finish the game .. ie if you don’t DC then remove the de-pip penalty. I should not finish a game and be penalized.


    I get the most frustrated when I do the best I can then get a penalty.

    Since grades are now only an indication of time played and no longer used for matchmaking they should remove negative pips. Only have safety/black pip, +1, and +2 pips.

    I agree with you I don't really care about pips because I know if I put on my sweat hat I can bang out the grades (often around the second weekend in reset I go I want that 1m bp from being a dirty survivor and go for it). The amount of times you see that the grade system is not a your rank but just the time you play is such a lie when you can still de-pip. It makes no sense because the pip system is from the old rank system that actually took into account your skill. The grade system is not time played it is a skill system and has been always been about skill. If they wanted it to reflect time played they would make it a specific amount of matches or actions that gives you the grade. If you load in and AFK you get no points toward your grade. If you D/C you get no progress. You have an amazing match and get out having done a lot you get bonus points. You get wrecked and had no chance to do anything you get pity points. You have an amazing match an stomp the survivors before the complete a gen you get bonus points. You get stomped by Clicky Clicky teabagging toxic bully swfs you get pity points and move on. The MMR system= no skill the grade system= skill not time lol this is ridiculous.
