Your rank system is broken

Fix it. Rank the highest rank survivors with a killer of equal rank. Should still not be an issue unless you hate killers.

    Reminder that SWF can cheat the matchmaking and it's intentional:

    The matchmaking has not changed in quite a while.

    Generally speaking the game will only pair you with people are your rank and only in your region. If it cannot find enough people to fill the lobby, it will gradually expand the rank and region range until it can. In extreme instances where it cannot find a suitable lobby, you might get ranks that are out of the normal range.

    What's likely happening there is a SWF group. It'll use the rank of whoever started the group for matchmaking purposes. Since there is rank-range limit for SWF groups, people who are outside of the normal expected range could end up in a lobby that they wouldn't normally be put in.

    They are just having fun with friends casually! Killers should serve to SWF gaming experience even thou rank system is not at all fair and can be easily misused on purpose.

    Devs: "We want to make a better ranked system!"

    Also devs: "Your reward for having a high rank is longer wait times to get a lobby. Oh and SWF have a massive advantage but we don't consider that for the rank system. They can also cheat the matchmaking if they want to. Have fun!"

    Rank rewards should have been a much higher priority, LONG ago. Even something basic like bonus bloodpoints would be sufficient, right now there are only downsides if you rank up (= waiting longer to get a game)

    I’m Rank 10. I barely play anymore.

    If I ask my R1 friend to play that means he is cheating the matchmaking?

    lol.

    We both have 5k hours each.

    Playing with friends isn’t cheating. Sorry To break it to you.

    No, just have some common sense about the amount of free health states and repair speed bonuses that can be brought into the same trial. 2x Commodius BNP, 2x Instaheal, 4x Adrenaline, 4x DS should never be a thing. Comms do not break the game. 9th and 10th chances do.

    Playing with friends isn't inherently cheating. And I'm not addressing the capability of such groups to exploit the matchmaking system. I'm saying that whatever the survivor group or make up is, that they should be ranked with a killer equal to the highest rank of the group. If that means longer wait times then so be it. We've just proven that queue times can take forever and people still wait to play.
