    No, the Ranking System is not perfect. There are no Red Rank Survivors. Of course there were yellow Rank Survivors that could be stomped by Red Rank Killers, but since the Matchmaking got reverted (again), there are no people left for High Rank Killers to play against.

    So as long as they dont revert the Pipping System too (which they should do so that people can actually play the game) or re-revert the Matchmaking, you will not find many people to play with you.

    Of course the Pipping System should only be reverted until they fixed the Matchmaking... But new PIpping System does not work together with Old Matchmaking, as we can see here.

    It's nearly impossible (for me at least) to find a game in red ranks as killer currently. Hopefully they are working on fixing matchmaking.

    Well in NA pc I'm seeing rank 2-4 killers against purplle and or green rank survivors from Asia all the time. They all hard camp or hard proxy camp and tunnel and then all say ggez afterwards as if that takes skill.

    This whole thing is becoming the Highlander 2 or Highlander: The Source of online PvP gaming. After a while, you just move forward and pretend it never existed. It's a shame.

    The rank 1 killerstream I watched yesterday evening seemed to get lobbies quite quickly =)

    @Master, Yeah, as various threads have displayed, it isn't the same for everyone.

    It is. Because I dont have to play with urban evasion sprint burst baby survivors like you obviously. I can pip I mean Im rank 5, 3 pips from rank 12. And Im dcing sometimes because sometimes solo q makes me pretty salty.

    Yea thetre are less red ranks, because it's new because people have finally to adapt. People HAVE to do things to count as a good player. back in the days rank 1 felt like rank 21. After 2? Weeks and Im just rank 5 I can feel the better skill level. It's the best thing theyve ever done. It has some grey zones (because of dcs) but it's very good atm. And just BECAUSE it's a big change the matchmaking is screwed up. The devs need to adjust this as long it's needed and when people adapt and finally learned how to play they have to adjust the matchmaking again. This is an ongoing progress. And the whole frustration out there is ONLY for solo survivors because this mode is pretty unplayable with NO communication. (And no, no one wants an ingame voice/chat)

    Im wondering that I cant play one god damn single game. Because after 1 minute or sth i should get matched with every single survivor out there. And there are many purple and green ranks. (in the EU, not korean and japan and chinese -.-)

    Cool, you can totally see my playstyle. Your math is amazing btw. So you are Rank 5 or Rank 13?

    And no, the Pipping System is not perfect when High Rank players dont find any games. This should not happen at all.

    I'm not surprised that solo survivors aren't able to rank up, honestly.

    on the other hand, how is it possible that SWF players aren't able to get rank 1?😂

    High ranked players having extremely long queue times is not abnormal in a ranking system. If the ranking system works and is actually predicated upon skill level, the highest ranks are a minority of the player base. This is true in Overwatch, Paladins, and other games as well. A majority of the playerbase hovers arounnd the upper-end of the low ranks, and low-mid ranks.

    The issue in DbD for too long was that play-time also equaled rank. It was no secret that those who played the game religiously were eventually going to be in the red ranks, it was just a matter of time.

    Now, this new emblem system still needs a lot of work, but the fact that they seem to want to head in a skill equals rank direction means that lobby times in the red ranks will be long. As I said, they're long in a game like Overwatch, which has a hell of a lot more players than DbD. I don't want to imagine what they'll be like here in the long-term.

    But if they're going with rank is achieved by skill, then the minority will be in Red Ranks, and the queue times will be long. There is no getting around that if they're going for more of a skill-based system.
