Ranking system rework: Achievements?
If the ranking system gets a rework, which it seems it may soon, what are the chances that the rank 10-5-1 achievements will be retired?
I'm trying for rank 5 and then rank 1 as killer but keep hitting a wall at about rank 6 or 7.
(keep getting put in matches with red rank survivors, my god the sweatiness is frustrating).

I mean neither rank nor achievements really matter in DBD. There is no point to either. You also don't "retire" achievements. Once they're added, that's it. And not to be rude, but isn't the whole point of an achievement is that it's hard to get? Simply because you can't reach a rank doesn't mean no one else can. I'm not sure whether you play on PC or Console, and I'm not sure what killer/builds you use, but getting a pip every round isn't really a challenge.

I think the OP is referring to the "bad"matches:
For survivor: where no matter what build they play as survivor or what team make up they have the killer is determined to exterminate everyone in the match as quickly as possible.It may explain why survivors will DC. They can either continue the match certain they will not make enough points to carry a safety and will therefore lose a pip. So the DC and hope the next match is better. I have seen this often in other PvP games.
For killer: the survivors complete all gens in about four minutes or less, evade capture and even if hooked escape immediately.
The difference is the game here does not allow backfilling, that is if the Killer DCs say a queing Killer is brought in to the match new. The reason this is not done is the match is ranked and a Killer could be brought in literally during the EGC.
Having been in matches as survivor where the killer tunnels one player after the other the amount of "fun" gained from being fodder like that is negligible. Other matches in which I failed to escape have been more fun if the Killer allows the survivors to at leat least get some bloodpoints out of the match and perform some objectives in order not to exit with two bronze and -1 pip.

Whether rank and achievements ‘matter’ or not is entirely subjective. I am a completionist, so while you may not understand the mindset, it matters to me and many others.
Some achievements are hard to get, that’s fine and I don’t have any complaints. My question was on the likelihood of those achievements being retired post ranking system rework. Nothing else.
And achievements can indeed be removed from games, I’ve seen it happen more than once.

We don't know how the new system will work at the moment...
For all we know the ranking system will still keep the same fundamentals... but they'll add on to it... so we'll see more than just those ranks...
Whether they retire the achievements because of this is unknown or not... since we don't 100% know what they'll even be doing yet. You'll sadly not get a 100% answer for this question i'm afraid... since like I said a few times now... that info on the new ranking system is unknown.
But, they've never retired achievements before (at least to my knowledge.) They've however changed them... Like when Freddy was reworked they changed some of his achievement requirements to match his current power...
So that's what they'll MOST LIKELY do if the ranking system throws away the 20, 15, 10, 5, 1, ranking system or whatever.

Yeah, that's what I figured. It's too early to say at this stage.
There's talk of the ranking system being separated out for each individual character but that could definitely still work within the current brown-green-purple-red numbered system.

Or they could have two tiers. One for regular matches where you progress from 20-15 and once reaching 15 you can enter ranked matches. It will avoid ranked matrches being full of new players who have yet to learn the game.

There's a reason that's not the case already, and that is that in lower-populated regions especially, there simply aren't enough new players at ranks 20-15 to support such a system without enormous queue times. In fact, ranks 15-20 are the only exceptions (in theory) to the can't-be-matched-with-anyone-more-than-six-ranks-above-or-below-you rule, because the devs decided it was more important that new players should be able to get games at all than that those games should be evenly matched.
