What is wrong with survivors?
First off, this is NOT a balance discussion thread. From my experience as a red rank survivor and killer, survivors have been unbelievably bad lately. My killer games are almost always a slaughter since survivors are doing stupid things like being downed in 15 seconds or trying to gen rush while injured. When I am a survivor, I am often the only survivor in the group that can stay on their feet for more than 30 seconds in a chase, and isn’t allergic to doing gens.
Granted, matchmaking has been suspect lately, but I am facing red ranks that play like they don’t know what’s going on. Add to that the constant DCs and it’s clear that the level of play is at an all time low.
Thoughts?

New rank reset made it easier for bad people to get to red ranks I guess

Rank =/= skill is at a whole new level now. Ranking system rework when?

All killers will be overperforming soon.

This is just the first iteration, after 9 days. So I would assume that can't be a factor yet.
I just got the feeling that many survivors just get frustrated more and more for no reason (just regarding on the type of salt after games and the amount of negative posts here in forum) and that's making them act strange like "I just go get the unhook, don't care tunneling, want the points" or "Legion agaahn / Iri heads agaahn / dream pallets agaahn Im just gonna hide until the hatch spawns".
No problem with potatoing around, that happens sometimes so I don't blame around. But when I see people doin bad stuff on purpose, being able to see that seconds before it happens, then I think these ones have been giving up at the loading screen.

For me, people are getting better.

And another thing to the rank / skill / matchmaking stuff. 1) The ranks don't reflect skill, 2) matchmaking doesn't work so even if 1) would work, 2) screws it up anyway and 3) I don't know yet but counting up to 2) would look silly. Anyone has a 3)? XD

I am rank 6 facing red ranks and getting 4k's using sb3, whispers1, iron grasp3 and tremors3 so I would say it's very suspect this season the caliber of player considering I'm just average.

It was already to easy to rank up as survivor and now that they dont get set back as far you see your typical green ranks as the new red ranks.
Makes killer easy but if your a solo survivor it sucks balls.

Pipping as a survivor is super easy atm. Add to that the new soft rank reset and you'll have half the community at red ranks within the next month. Rank was never less meaningful than it is now.

This.

because survivor emblems are depending on killer performence devs kept "buffing" survivor emblems + if remember correctly they need 1 less point to pip
and after all those changes surv almost cant depip unless: surv is afk, surv is hard tunneled as 1st surv, killer is afk, killer is so bad he cant hook 3 survs during game
and if any of those situations didnt happened GJ as surv you pipped xd, or at the very least safety pip (sth is wrong, change my mind)
imo they should remove safety pip for survivors

Just moved from console to pc for dbd. I got to green rank on Xbox in no time and still don’t have all the main tier perks teachable. I actually hate that I rank up that fast because I know I’m not that good.
Its too fun though so if I’m crap I’m crap. Still play’n.

I don't know. I've honestly never stopped to ask.

I think part of the problem is the rifts. everyone is focused on completing the challenges and aren't playing as well as they could be or working as a unit. I like the rifts and challenges, but when everyone is trying to do the same ones it makes for crap games. the same can be said of killers, too. a lot of killers that wouldn't normally tunnel or camp do to complete the challenges.
