Insta Kill/Escape solution for ranking system
Ranked systems should not account for abilities or addons that allow for the circumvention of normal gameplay.
For instance; bringing a Mori should automatically either remove the chance of depipping for survivors, or make the game only award Bloodpoints and not count as a ranked game.
Moris and similar items and addons circumvent normal play. In the case of a Mori, it removes the need to sacrifice a survivor multiple times to take them out of the game.
A list of things I believe should stop a game from being counted as a ranked game or make the game a minimum safety Pip are:
Moris
Keys
Iridescent Heads
Tombstone Piece
Judith’s Tombstone
These items, though rare, do not belong in a ranked system because they do not promote actual gameplay but rely instead on the power of the addon to do the work with no way to actually counter them.
I am not saying they should be removed from the game, simply that if they’re used in a match, that the match stop being counted as a ranked match OR have the ability to lose a Pip removed from the opposing side by making the requirements for a safety Pip 0 points while gaining a Pip should keep the same point requirements.
DCing should be treated the same way, except that it should stop the game from being ranked, or reduced the safety Pip requirements to 0 for everyone in the game.
I think this would help balance out the strength of these addons and offerings with their effects on a monthly ranking.
