New pip/point system is terrible!
It seems every time the devs really start nailing good implementations for the game they always screw it up somehow. You now have to do every single little thing in this game to get better rankings rather than playin a certain role on the team. For killer even if you get all four survivors hooked and killed you still won’t get merciless because you didn’t chase them enough or break enough generators. I’ve been avoiding playing DBD for other new releases lately, just got back on today to realize that’s not the only reason I haven’t been playing. Please fix your point/pip system guys! ):

a 4k shouldnt automatically mean a 2 pip, but in my opinion it should be a guaranteed pip (which is not the case atm)

The pipping thresholds are way too high, especially at the higher ranks (Purple and Red).
I get the fact that ranking up was way too easy before hand, but now it's literally at a point where you can do almost everything and not pip.
I had a 25k+ BP game as survivor, unhooks, gens, 4-5 minute chases which I won all of them except 1, hooked once throughout the entire game. I safety pipped that game.
A 4k is a guaranteed gold emblem on devout. But if you hooked enough people it's Iridescent no matter what.
The problem is -
Survivors will complain that they were tunnelled or camped as it basically means they're guaranteed to lose a pip
Killers will complain because if they aren't good enough, they'll also lose a pip. Even if they're good enough, they still can't guarantee a pip unless they get a 4k at a reasonably quick time.
Until they lower the pipping thresholds (Not even by much), then I really don't care about my ranks. I would quite happily leave games if I'm getting tunnelled/camped as a survivor and if survivors run me around forever as a killer.

Agreed, Pipping thresholds for Killer is absolutely ridiculous right now. I got a 4k as nurse with only a 1% proximity deduction due to a Survivor who was hanging around a hooked Survivor one time, and I got a -1 pip with 28k BP. The hell is this garbage?
What's worse is that I got sick after seeing that ######### that I went to Survivor, was first to die within first 5 minutes of the game, only unhooked and healed one Survivor and didn't complete any gens. I got +2 pip at 11k BP. Like this system makes NO sense.

All this change did was turn ranking up into a giant box ticking exercise. If they want to continue with this system, they need to give players a way to keep track of their emblems while they are in game.
I lost count of the number of times I checked my emblems at the end and realised that doing slightly more gens or giving one more heal would have pushed me from a gold to an iridescent emblem.

the pip/rank system is fine.
The Emblem system is what is broken. It should take more to get higher ranks, but due to the fact that if you get potato survivors as killer, you won't pip because of the emblems. If survivors DC while youre playing survivor, you are guaranteed not to pip unless the killer farms with you.

I created my account here just to say how much i hate the new ranking system. Game is pretty fine and even although i could not understand every change they made so far, the new ranking system is a pile of #########.
As i often read in this forum it only rewards you for the games where killer play fair and both are equally matched which is ######### rare.
And even if you get one of those games and manage to pip, in the next game you get unlucky or you get a camper/tunneler and pooof your pip is gone.
There had to be done smth with the ranking system, it was really easy to reach rank 1, but what they did made it far worse...
It just feels so punishing, having a great game, did some amazing things only to see in the endscreen that it wasnt just enough to get a pip.
This decision really has to become undone quickly.
