We need to change Rank Reset change my mind
This is the most unfun thing in the game
From dealing with potato teammates as survivor to playing against experienced survivors or OoO swf its super bloody annoying

Without rank reset we would only have purple to red ranks playerbase, this means that new players would have a lot of issues trying to play.

I said change, not remove

The longer you make the season last, the less matches for newer players. The less rank progression lost, the less matches for newer player.

They could also simply make a causal and ranked mode
But I doubt that will even happen anymore

I don't like the ranked reset either. Because in the end it also hurts the dedicated players. Taking 15-20 minutes to find a game at red ranks isn't fun at all.
Personally I think they need a new system all together. But I like the idea of everyone eventually going down into red/purple because of no rank reset. It would hurt the newer players, but I'd imagine they could just make the match making more lenient to accommodate them. I mean it's not like some of them rank 15's or whatever they are playing as/against. Don't have experience, strong tier 3 perks etc. It just means they stopped playing for a month or two.

rank reset is that time in the month where i dont wanna play...
toxicity is at its peak there, as many take their buddies out to "stomp some baby killers" and you just deal with sooo many SWF teams with OoO, flashlights, etc.
and as survivor you have these guys that do nothing but crouch in a corner somewhere while you slowly die on the hook after looping the killer for like 2000 minutes straight, yet no one did anything and you still have 5 or 4 gens left (depends on weather you got to complete a gen or the killer found you before that).
i'll just be taking a break for 2 or 3 days, let the tryhards get to their tryhard ranks and then play casually again and see where i end up.
anything else could hurt my sanity.

Why do we even have ranks? It's meaningless. I've played this game for around 2 years (I did take a break for 6 months this year though) and honestly despite what some would have you believe I cannot tell the difference between ranks 15(ish) through 1. The only difference I've seen is from brand new fresh off the boat players. Anyone whose played more than 25 to 50 matches is generally on the same level with everyone else.
Some of us red rankers like to toot our horns but ranking has less to do with "skill" and more to do with how many hours a day you play.

What really isn't fun is getting put to rank 10 survivor and then having to play against a killer that has somehow managed to get to rank 3 in less than a day.

I agree with you. Though I think a big part of that is that most of the really good players don't want to play at the high ranks so they purposefully derank and play more casually. With no reward and less fun games, why would you ever want to rank up. This leads to each rank being more mixed. Combine that with the fact that the rank system is inherently bad at determining how skilled a player is and there's really no point to it anymore.

rank reset is a blessing. I don't have to deal with the horrible queue times

I do believe it needs to be changed, but i don't know what.

This is literally the main thing they need to implement. A casual mode for swf and no skill based matchmatching. For fun

When I started, I found little reason to like Rank Reset... Now I love it because I can actually practice some killers that I cant play in high ranks because I'm
1. Lacking Perks
2. Lacking Skills
3. Just looking for a fun time, but the killer isnt that good
4. All of the above.

Im always happy about reset. you face so many new killers in green ranks, you have never seen before on red ranks. also you get the most fun survivor friends as solo player. they are so funny xD
as killer you get lobbys with your old friends from rank 1 and sometimes you get teams full of new players. you can help them learn the game the easy or the hard way. always fun.
for me as long time dbd addicted theres no problem hitting red ranks fast to have the old try hard game mode back. so at least for me i enjoy rank reset

rank reset would be fine if it weren't every 13th

I understand why a rank reset is a thing for a rank-based game, but I wish there were season-based rewards to it (something as simple as a BP reward based on your highest rank with each role would honestly be fine).
Also, I wish that the per-match pip thresholds were flat across all ranks.

I just had a game where 2 survivors blocked and the hag downed me. I left even tho it was my first down but that annoyed me. I’m pretty sure hag wasn’t work with them because I spectated a lil and she was downing them also. I don’t like rank reset. I was comfortable at 13

I like rank reset as it allows me to more easily get achievements.
That said, they definitely need a rank rewards system in the game... Even if its jsut a BP/Shard reward for every rank you reach the first time you reach it during the season

How long do you think I should wait before playing after this rank reset? I can’t find the fun in none of the 4 games I’ve played. About to play 1 more and that’s gonna make the choice if I continue or stop for a few days until people back in the ranks they need to be in

Other games that have longer seasons, simply Decay your rank if you don't play enough matches on a weekly basis. They could simply make the season last 90 days and after 7 days if you haven't played a match and you're in purple or red rank you'll start to decay.

The way I've always treated it is, I'm in the same boat as everyone else, in terms of being the "wrong" rank.
Waiting a few days gives you some easier games, because you'd be going against less capable players. But playing now means you're being lumped in with players who are similar to you in skill, since the goalpost got moved for everyone.

I concur yesterday at haddonfield i was claude doing a daily againt a pig with ruin. I did 3.5-4 gens, healed 4 or 5 people overall while my allies were getting chased, hooked, rescuing or doing nothing. By the 5th gen we found the pig had NOED and i was out the door. By the end of the game one survivor had 1k points and the pig didnt tunnel, no one died to her trap, 1 got saced and the 3rd and 4th cuddled as egc killed them.
One could have escaped but prefered to die with the captured survivor

Oh, I didn’t know that but before the rank changed I felt like people was more of my skill level. Now I just get survivors that do some weird things.
I’m alright with the killers I’m playing against. No complaints there. My 3 games (I’m not going to say 5 because I left my first game and about the third game, the killer dc’ed when I cleansed ruin. I never had a chance to play against those 2 killers) those killer were either better or about my skill level and I was alright with that, just the survivors.

i think they have acknowledged a few times that the whole rank system needs to be looked at.
I wouldnt be suprised if thats not on the agenda, as to what would be a better system? No idea. Doing away with Emblems and using a numerical MMR like other games would be a start, but the game has so many things that give a picture of a players skill I have no clue.

Rank doesnt actually exist.
Done.

Yeah, I have seen some bizarre disconnects since yesterday, too. Played against a Legion who threw in a Haddonfield offering, then promptly disconnected when 3 gens got popped without a single hook. I would say there have been more games with ragequit disconnects than not, so maybe that is the quality differentiation that comes with a fresh rank reset (I'm normally a purple-ranked player on both roles).
I also played my first Demogorgon game, and got 3 kills basically by accident, flopping around like a day 1 player and messing around with his powers, getting used to his pounce timing on the fly. I suspect I wouldn't have had this sort of success prior to the rank reset.
Those are just the weird sorts of anomalies that you run into right after the reset, I suppose.

its sad that I would hazard that 50% or more of the community isn't even old enough to know who that actually is , but she fits your caption so well .

Your assertion makes me want to cry.
At least that new animated Addams Family movie just came out, though.

ya , but I prefer the original , she was far more attractive morticia , Carolyn jones I think was her name . Yes im showing my age knowing that ...
0 -
Yep, Carolyn Jones was awesome. She died way too young. :(

...although, I mean, Anjelica Huston owned that role in such a monumental way that it's really hard to beat her. Same with Raul Julia and Christina Ricci. God those '90s Addams Family movies were the best things ever.
1 -
maybe im a purist because I grew up watching the original black and whites , same for the munsters . I didn't like the scripts for the movies more then the actors but I do admit that Ricci made a good wensday
0 -
Christina Ricci as Wednesday Addams is a treasure. This is one of the greatest scenes ever committed to film.

LOL, sorry to derail the topic so much.
Yeah, umm, rank reset needs shinies for a reward. And also a flat pip curve from 1-20. Otherwise it's, you know, fine.
0 -
Time invested is not a reliable measure of skill.
0 -
Maybe just add more levels and less level degrading . 18-20's already have no limit to matchmaking so if they play a 15 killer out of 30 ranks hwos that any different then playing a 13 killer who was rank 1 a couple months ago and just depiped .

I don't mind rank reset, but it needs to bump people down more slowly... then just BOOM instant mid/new player rank tier.... like wut... I don't get how being red rank bumps you down the most of all the tiers. Like if people are red rank, they clearly are playing often enough to not lose "skill" ... for people that say take a few months off or something they probably don't have too much of the same skill anymore and could use some "practice".
I think the best way would be is if someone doesn't play the game a certain period of time. Start bumping THEM down slowly. etc. But I am sure they would have done that if it were possible...?
And considering "rewards" coming soon, I have no idea what possible mess that will entail.

Have you seen that they are making a cartoon reboot? Yeah This isn't even the first Addams there's even a older one. However, this is the one i watched when i was younger.
