What would you guys think of...
... a reset back to rank 20 each season?
I think there would be less potatoes at higher ranks, better queue times at lower ranks and more diversity.
What do you guys think, pros/cons?

But wouldn't this only be the case right after rank reset? If the matchmaking were more accurate and not something like +-6 ranks could it work?

which would be fixed by the dc penalty

There are other ways to make sure you don't pip without having to DC - don't touch a gen, don't escape and rescue teammates in the killer's face..

Sure but doing that would literally make you a rank 20. Even now there are people like that. Or do you think a reset to R20 would cause a rising in depipping players.

Maybe, but I don't think so. On the other hand, after many hours in the game, some survivors only enjoy getting chased, so they could technically stay at rank 20, make life miserable for new players and still enjoy themselves.
Not saying that it will happen that often, but it's still technically possible.
In my opinion BHVR should just make it really difficult to rank up and/or find a way to make it so that ranks are reflective of players' skill and not amount of time spent playing the game Then rank resets wouldn't really be necessary at all. No idea how to achieve that, but it should be possible.

Yeah I get that. I just think there will always be players who like teasing newbies.
The approach with the r20 reset is just a idea to get a sudden change of pace. In long term I think they need to rework the ranking system like you said.

Easiest thing would be to eliminate black pips for survivors, or make it significantly harder to achieve. As it stands, unless you're a complete potato or get tunneled into oblivion, you're going to at least get a black pip.
Killer is opposite of that, you can work your butt off for only a black pip or depip.

True. You're right and the more I think about it your suggestion is possibly better for the game.
However, until the proper overhaul of the whole ranking system that was promised in the 3rd year anniversary stream I'd personally like to give the current reset system a chance.
Right know I've completely given up hopes of being matched up with and against players at my skill level, so I see the current approach to rank resets as a way to reduce my time waiting in lobbies, as it will push a lot more players into the higher ranks, potentially (hopefully) decreasing queue times at red ranks for both killers and survivors.
Your suggestion will help out newbies with faster queues, but people at high ranks who will take about a week or less to get from 20 to 1-4 will have to endure even worse queues than they already do.
Obviously, I'm biased towards red rank queue times at the expense of the new player experience, so it's a good thing that i'm not a developer!

Tbh I think r20 reset would not work with another ranking system or matchmaking. I agree, red rank queues would be awful. Dang its really difficult ^^
I think the main problem atm is that ranking system and matchmaking arent working together. I hope the devs come up with a good idea for it.

Yeah sure I didnt mean that would fix the whole depip thing. I was a bit confusing here.
But you have the same thing happening atm and I think also always

Got you. Thats why I think r20 reset alone will be not the solution. But maybe could be part of it.

It will be a complete he11 in the first few weeks before players start climbing jntk their ranks. A complete nightmare. And I don't mean Freddy
