New pipping (ranking) gap
This is GREAT, now that killers that tunnel and camping will easily depip when they keep doing that.
It's really HARD to reach red rank though, especially rank 1 cause it requires at least 3 gold and 1 iridescent emblems to gain 1 pip; 4 iridescent for 2 pips (which is impossible unless farming with killers/survivors). Safety pip means at least 3 silver and 1 gold, less than that -1 pip.
It still might be harder for survivors than killers though, cause 1 pip means you have to done more than 3 early generators or about 2 in later stage of the match. Get hooked once, rescue and heal people many times and 'loop' for as long as you can during the chase or survive long enough and be chased for awhile at the end(...).
And more pressure on killers to maintain the game long enough to find, hit, chase, hook... to acquire 1 pip before survivors open the gate and leave.
In total this is fair, getting to red ranks nowadays is too easy, people that play enough can reach that no problem. With good players, playing about 2-3 hours/day the gap from rank 10 to 1 is like 5-7 days; with 6+ hours streamers it's like 2-3 days. Next update probably x3 the time they need to reach from 10 to 1 in my opinion.

Old system, me as survivor in red ranks - Play against:
Hillbilly,Hillbilly,Hillbilly,Hillbilly,Hillbilly,NOT Hillbilly, Hillbilly,Hillbilly,NOT Hillbilly, Hillbilly
New system, me no longer good enough for red ranks:
Not Hillbilly,Not Hillbilly,Not Hillbilly,Not Hillbilly,Not Hillbilly,HILLBILLY,Not Hillbilly,Not Hillbilly,Not Hillbilly,Not Hillbilly,
LOVE IT!!!
I like how the new rank system reads but I'm willing to see how it balances out over the next week or so. I do think it's a move in the right direction, it should be hard to pip, especially double pip. I'm also hoping that if this fixes the rank system and makes it harder to maintain red ranks that they will consider some sort of rank reward in the the future for those that want to push ranks.
Campers/tunnelers mostly depipped anyway. The downside to this is the game is going to be awful for new players or returning players as there will be the most borinf, unfun killers at low ranks.
Similar to how low rank survivor is full of all the disconnectors.
The new rank system weeds out the players that aren't fit for high ranks and places them accordingly.
Lol harder for survivors.
Let me see you reach rank 1 as a killer with the new ranking.
When someone comments that they are red rank, my thought will be, "oh you must be quite good then" as opposed to "oh you must play a lot then".
You say that like survivors don't DC at higher ranks.
(I know I main Legion, but seriously?)
It used to be back in 1.x.xx version, but this one is even harder than that though
@JawsIsTheNextKiller hate to break it to you but the chainsaw barely gives the Hillbilly any chaser points. This means it will be hard for them to get to red ranks and in turn stay in the same rank as you.
Harder for survivors than killers?
Have you tried killer? lul
But now you cant rank up to rank 1 that easily anymore, at least sth
Not at the rate they do from ranks 10-15. It's unbearable as survivor there because every 1 in 3 games will have a survivor disconnect in the first 60 seconds.
It will be interesting if these changes go in... I like the idea of people being put into their proper ranks... but will they?
What will be the point if you reach rank 7.. Then the Devs open up match making for red ranks cause their isn't enough players in it, and you start being matched up against rank 3 killers. This will completely defeat the purpose and show how dumb the system is.
At least there's a slight difference to me, I play nurse, spirit & hillbilly. Usually I get rank 1 as killer first.
