It makes so much sense that someone at Rank 8 is still going to have all their skill after not playing for an entire month, my goodness, total domination after all that time of not playing 100% we are all gods at this game. I am so happy my high rank Killer is going to stay in the high ranks after not playing them for a month, holy ######### all my skills are just retained and memorized because I eat, sleep, and brag about DBD.

Now I have to wait 2 months if I ACTUALLY want to be at a Rank according to my SKILL LEVEL. Great job guys, only people who play this game every single day are rewarded by this system, totally not the people who take breaks every now and then for decisions just like this.

''Oh you're Rank 1 well at Rank reset you'll be Rank 5 now that feels better right''?

''Ah yeah I'm actually taking a break right now, Rank 5 seems a bit high for me you know I'm going to forget how to play the game, all my muscle memory is going to go away, I'll forget how to loop, where are the good trap spots? You know, Rank 5 seems too high.''

''Lol''

    Well the problem is that I don't get to play Killer as much as I'd like because I live at my job so I usually only have time to play Survivor. The Ranking system does not reflect skill, it reflects how much fun you let the Survivors have so I can do a really ######### job as Killer and still pip up and rank up and go against good teams while I am over here still trying to figure remember all the complicated strategies. I rely on the rank reset so I can have a hope of going against players who are near my skill level but if my Rank is always going to be high then I am perpetually going against good teams and I only derank because of the unfairness and my inability to play very often and not because of my lack of skill. The silver lining though is that we might have more people who suck at this game at the higher ranks because the game says they're good when they're not so maybe my fears are unwarranted. If the Ranking system was actually good and paid attention to skill and not a checklist then I wouldn't be having this problem.
