About that ranking system

Am I missing something here? Is it only SWF? Can rank 20 killers still see 4 rank 1 survivors if they were solo?

    Yeah, well, the crappy thing is, the Ranks 8 and the Rank 7 are completely possible now if you're Rank 13, but the Rank 5 should not have been. Depending on whether or not the MM can make a match with people near your rank, it will keep expanding up to a hard limit of -6/+6 your rank.

    At this point, why even have Rank as a matchmaking algorithm.

    A lot of purple rank survivors play like rank 20 survivors so this isn't that bad. You just got unlucky that this was a swf team.

    8 if you are 13 is Ok, but a rank 5 is too much and not because of skills, because the algorithm is doing something wrong.

    Rank 5 guy probably pipped so he was rank 6 at the start. While rank 12 killer probably depipped to 13. Start of the match was likely a 6 difference which makes sense.

    Yeah the ranks are really bad right now. I was rank 8 killer and got 2 rank 1's and 2 rank 2's. N got my ass beat. I mean i dont care becaues i can play them. Its just i would really like to see what there ranks are. I mean i went try "hard" after that and won...but there was a few rank 15 mixed with 1's.. n i felt bad because i know that they are new to the game or haven't played in a while.

    I'm 13 atm, even if he were 6 starting that is still 7 levels difference which means the 6 cap isn't functioning.

    I'm better than rank 13 and can hold my own. I just don't have a lot of time to invest in DbD anymore and my games per day are limited to a handful at best. I am the rank 13 killer, and I'm 3 pips in. The game was a safety pip so I started and ended at the same point. It may have been a pip from 2 in to 3 in. Whatever the case I was 13 going in and 13 at the end of game, 100%.

    I'm not concerned with self but if the system isn't functioning properly it needs to be looked at.

    I'm not sure if the rank cap applies only to groups while disregarding solo ranks. If that is the case it could be they were all solo. I still don't think 4 solo rank 1s should theoretically draw a rank 20 killer as competition nor should 4 solo rank 20 survivors draw a rank 1 killer.
