What's up, red rank players?
So, after a couple of months of not playing that regularly, I finally made it back to red ranks today, and geez... I feel like deranking, because really, the amount of toxicity and lack of sportsmanship you find there is amazing.
Survivors won't save you, they would rather go and harrass the killer with their flashlights. They will even fast vault right next to you while repairing a gen, just because.
Killers camping, tunneling and, I would have to confirm this, lag-switching.
I had a blast while in the purple-green ranks. Survivors tried to work harder as a group and solo, they tried to help in any kind of way. Now I'm waiting in a lobby and 3 people join at once and I know it's gonna suck for me, and for the killer, because SWF groups usually leave the random to die or sacrifice them so as not to get caught themselves. I've had my share of p3 Megs and Dwights running towards me when the killer is after them. I've had my share of people failing a skillcheck when they're healing me to run away and teabag at me when the killer finds me and hooks me. I've had my share of being teleported back to the killer's arms when I was safely running away (or so I thought).
So this makes me wonder... is the game losing people because it's "bad" or are we people tired of the people we play with that ruin the experience for the rest?

There is no point to be at red ranks, the best thing to do is derank to at least purple ranks

Yuppz, I was considering that option. Thing is I'm using my bp offerings to try and get Feng Min some decent perks after I p2'd her and I end up ranking up

I hate how everytime rank reset happens, i just manage to get to red ranks easily. It doesn't even feel like an achievement now, rather a punishment.

The only way to slow down on that ranking up is to slow down on the gaming... play one or two games a day and go do something else. That's how I ended up in rank 15 after months of being rank 1.

How do y’all even make R1 survivor? I keep Just safety pipping even if I save people, do gens, avoid the killer and get chased.😂

Never derank i'm against it, red ranks is not always fun but there is no reason to derank. All those who derank should be banned for exploiting the ranks. deranking to have fun against potatoes you are proud of yourself.
@peanits do you allow this (deranking) for me you should ban them. it's like exploiting a bug to have advantage over potatoes killers/survivors.

You know your friends hate you when they try to get you to R1 after knowing the pain of being there. The person closest to my rank is a rank 8. I started at the same rank as the rest of them. -_- And I play like an idiot to not rank up but here I am as well in red again.....

I never deranked, so chill. And who said I would derank to have an advantage over anyone? -.-

I’m just that unlucky.

Derank = less skilled players = advantage. Simple as that deranking is a weak attempt to have fun and easy games.
Balance is just bad for red ranks that's why we don't have a lot of fun. If looped were more skill-based and shorter, he will be way more fun at these ranks for both sides.

You're seeing it wrong. There's mostly no skill difference between red or purple or green. You can be an average killer or survivor and still make it to red ranks. However, when you are there you see people doing whatever to retain that rank, even if it hurts the essence of the game itself. I just played a game in Yamaoka versus a rank 3 wraith that camped the basement. He had BBQ but camped the basement. He camped every person he hooked. He will get kills for sure and probably safe pip, hence, he will still be red ranked even if he didn't actually do anything for a kill, but camping.

Red ranks are just toxic. People can't rank up any further, so they get bored of playing normal and start to play toxic.

A LOT of killers derank aswell, so doing it as a survivor may not grant you "EZ games". The point OP is making is to derank and get serious survivors, not potato killers.

Did you not read a single thing? There *is* no game in red ranks; just bullying and lack of gameplay. The only Advantage being had is getting your money's worth and actually getting to enjoy the damn thing

I've been to both survivor and killer rank 1 more times than I can actually count. That being said, I go out of my way not to get to red ranks these days. As a survivor, red ranks is just another way of saying "Nurse, Billy, Spirit, rinse, repeat". Purple ranks at least has some variety for survivor. As a killer, I'd rather not wait half of a humans average life expectancy for a lobby.
