Why has it become so easy to de-pip as trapper and other low-tier killers?

I recently returned from a break from DbD, and have won almost every match thus far. Some of the buffs have been great, some of the nerfs have been great - and vise versa. As a killer, I've been having a field day as clown and myers.

However - something just seems wrong when playing some of the lower tier killers... including my favorite (for the aesthetic, at least) - The Trapper.

Last match, I spent the round just running around, just chillin' with some good ol' DBD. Overall turnout was less than ideal - 2 players killed, 2 escaped, all hooked and trapped multiple times, few good and long chases - and a 36,000 BP take-home.

However... - "ENTITY DISPLEASED" - De-pipped.

I mean, I play the game for fun and for progressing, and (truly) I don't care about rank... - But what's up with this? Rank truly doesn't matter (and worst-case scenario, you just de-pip and wind up playing with people that are easier than the last anyways)

It's just that can play a match as Myers and get Brutal Killer without even killing a single one of the four players... and then there's this on the flip side. Am I doing something wrong when it comes to trapper, or is the rank system just truly busted?

    My medals were:

    Chaser: Gold

    Malicious: Silver

    Devout: Silver

    Gatekeeper: Bronze


    Is success as a killer SOLELY based on ending the match pre-gate opening, and blocking gens now? Seems ridiculous to do well and still not be considered a successful match.

    Not to mention getting genrushed after placing 2 traps,but thats your fault for allowing that 'cause ,apparently, Trapper isnt supposed to place traps.

    Trapper gets punished for good trap use. I've had 4k matches with multiple hooks and only 1 gen done, but hardly any chases because I spent the whole time running from trap to trap recovering victims. Depip.

    In the new pipping system, you get punished for doing good.

    Its because Trapper is trash. The devs refused to buff his base kid despite ppl posting in forums and such.

    You go around wasting time to pick up traps = Less Emblem Points = Easier to Depip

    The trapper trap's being bugged is still not fixed so survivors can walk through it due to amazing hit box

    Killer

    Rank 20-15 one kill for one pip and double pip for 22k points too

    Rank 14-10 two kills for one pip and 2 pip 22k

    Rank 9-5 three kills for one pip and 2 pip 22k

    Rank 4-1 4k and 2 pip 22k.

    Survivors

    Just escape for one pip and get 20k points for 2 pip

    If you get the piont but no the kills or the escape safe pip if you don't get any other the two downpip

    I think this is how the rank should work

    Because the system is a one for all when it should be made individually to play to each killers strengths and weaknesses but in reality that would take alot of work so I can't see it being done.

    The emblem system punishes good play and also if the survivors refuse to save from the hook, kill themselves or DC which is quite disheartening, your pip is not just in your hands.

    GIT GUD! watch some streamers like "HUMERO GAMES" he is the best TRAPPER on RANK 1 !!!! Learn some lesson from him.

    Watching streamers doesn’t fix the fact that you can 4K and bring home like 60-70,000 bp with chili and still manage to somehow de-pip LOL

    Yeah it's really just trapper isnt that good, making it harder to get points.
