Introducing Ranked into Dead By Daylight

Hey, I was wondering what the reason was that ranked hasnt became a mode in dbd, after hitting iridescent the game is basically boring and just becomes a game where you are just trying to hit 100. If ranked becomes implemented it might make more players stay or come back to the game more often also some ideas towards ranked rewards can be badge,banners,charms or even seasonal frames like the OG scratch marks for a certain character used. As a competitve player in general I feel like it would be more rewarding if our ranks meant something and actually took skill to be the rank given because anyone can become iridescent.

    It's not been added for various reasons:

    • Queue times of splitting the queues into potentially three modes (Ranked, Casual, Event) but even two is a stretch at the best of times
    • Balancing (the game is very optimisable with good builds and, where relevant, comms, which makes a balanced mode difficult)
    • Optimised DBD being something a lot of players signal they don't like (take even a glance at socials about DBD and you'll see lots of people communicate their problems with genrushing, tunnelling and slugging - all optimal strats that would be seen constantly in a Ranked queue)
    • Difficult to define win conditions (anyone with a passing understanding of the MMR system in this game knows that its a total mess. How do you define a win or a loss when you can carry and still die, or play really well but not kill anyone?)

    A combination of these issues, and more I'm sure I haven't considered, are probably why BHVR hasn't pursued the idea to release.

    I can see survivors being globaly nerfed and than killer side being sorted into groups where each group has own strenght of perks to reflect their kit.

    Let's say Nurse would have pain res 10 % damage, nowhere to hide would be cut in half.

    Hag would have 20 % damage on pain res, doubled range of nowhere to hide etc.

    Its not possible to make the game balanced, you will always see people crying that its killer or survivor sided but if ranked is added im sure it will gain the most players. the only people struggling from queue times are killers and events are pointless i think it would be better if they just add offerings and new models for items when it comes to events.

    rank wont be as simple as escaping as a survivor, i feel like each player should be judged on their current role in the game if thats doing gens, looping killer or getting rid of hex perks, as for killer it shouldnt be judged off how many people you kill it should be judged off the fact that you as the killer are doing your job applying pressure and playing smart in general.

    as for gen rushing and tunneling thats just apart of the game even though it is super frusturating as a survivor to be slugged or tunneled theres multiple perks that counter that your entire perk loadout shouldnt be dedicated to one role it should be spread even for the chance of the killer doing those things, as for killer gen rushing can be taken care of pretty easily with a killer who has mobility and perks to help them obviously if you are running trapper in ranked you will not win that goes for almost any mode in the game lol

    my point is the current "rank system" is not fulfilling at all and the game becomes ridiculously boring when the only goal is to prestige. IF A RANK MODE CANNOT BE ADDED they should make the current iridescent rank system harder to get to and add simple rewards that people can grind to or even a leaderboard for survivors and killers something that will have players actually committed and spending their time on
