High rank Trapper depip
So I am slightly annoyed by the fact that 2 kills and 7 times trapped a survivor results still in a depip at rank 4.. I cannot play Trapper due to not being able to rank up. Is there something wrong?
It seems like traps do barely count towards emblem scores and when you're very good at trapping you have a very hard time to rank up - another reason you do not see trapper too often in red ranks.
I would love to continue playing him but ATM it's just not possible :'(

I think you should worry less about rank and just enjoy the game, the ranking system is awful and can punish some of the best play styles because you can't hit all categories.
and to top it all off, your rank will be reset every 13th, just try to enjoy the matches is the best approach, I feel.

I will try! But often (sadly) not possible

Rank's not a huge deal.
But if you do enjoy ranking up, you should know some killers are very bad at getting emblems. These include: Trapper, Plague, Leatherface and Hillbilly.

It's actually hard to rank up as Hillbilly due how chaser emblem works with chainsaw. It's actually one of the many reasons I like Billy cuz most games are safety or - pip.

Yeah, all of the killers I mentioned interact badly with the Chaser emblem specifically.

Forgot Myers and GF.

When you get the R1 achievements on either side, there is literally no reason to not play for fun...
The ranking system is broken and is by no means an indication of skill.

Well I play trapper at red ranks (rank 1) and even a 4k doesn’t guarantee a pip or even a black pip because the ranking system got designed by drunk or autistic ppl.
The worst thing for me is when I 4k a 4 man swf and all are rank 1 or 2 and then comes the endgame screen and you see you “ barely” managed to get a black pip because you either killed them to fast or they gen rush and you didn’t protect your gens...

ye trapper emblems are horribly broken.
ive had the exact same problem.
you do not get ANY chaser emblem points for trapping survivors and i am pretty sure you also get no malicious points for it, which is ABSURD!
on top of that, gatekeeper is usually pretty bad, since you gotta spend the time creating a setup, which leaves gens unprotected.
honestly, i couldnt get him past rank 3 eigther. its so dumb, yet none of the devs ever said anything about potential fixes in the future! it has been said so many times... and it has been broken for such a long time... its ridiculous!
since trapper is my main killer, i am really pissed about that.

This also applies to Hag with the Chaser Emblem. To play Hag correctly, you're not supposed to chase.
I 4k'd and missed out on my adept due to this emblem and won't attempt it until they fix achievements, and god knows when that will be.
The whole Emblem system isn't a good evaluation on performance.

myers have same problem

Thanks for all the acknowledgement! Nice to see I'm not alone with these problems :)

I could care less if I rank up or not all I'm looking to do is kill all the survivors

Trapper and Plague will rarely pip at red ranks due to the stupid emblem system. I've depipped on a 3k with Trapper at rank 4. Any killer that has a one shot or can down survivors outside of a chase will really struggle to pip at higher ranks. You would think there would be some common sense built into it like "you can always safety pip with a 2k" and "you'll always +1 on a 3k", but apparently the overall objective of the game is not weighted as heavily as ThE FuN FaCtOr.

Why would you want to be at high ranks as Trapper
De-Pips are wanted at high ranks
0 -
because trapper is fun?
because he is unique?
because we enjoy playing him?
why would you play ANY killer up there other than nurse?
however, de-piping just because i selected a certain killer should NOT be a thing! EVERY killer should be able to get to rank 1. when played efficiently, they should at least have the possibility to do so. for Trapper, the emblem system literally works against him, leaving you with de-pips you did absolutely not earn all the time.
that is fundamentally flawed game design and NEEDS to be adressed!

Oh I totally see that and it's the mindset I've predominately had. It's just lately I see a depip as more of a victory then a pip. While I always enjoy and want good competition I'm just not interested in the toxicity at higher ranks. I just want to have fun not deal with a bunch of egotistical players who are taking the game far too seriously

You guys realise the entire ranking system is being redone? It's on the road map and it isn't that far away
