Holy shit I made it to rank 5??? I honestly thought I would never manage it but… A miracle happened. Now I can perhaps stop stressing about ranking up and fearing that I might lose my rank (because I just wanted to reach rank 5 once and there’s no way I’d ever get to rank 1 anyway, especially since they’re going to change the ranking system and it takes me forever to adapt to changes).

So I didn’t get to rank 1 this season (which I knew wouldn’t happen, of course). But I made it to rank 3 momentarily and this shall forever be my personal best:

I think it’s weird and unfair that I was put against rank 1s so many times before even reaching rank 1 (and of course this kept happening during the last few days of the season). Also it’s absurd that they constantly gave me killers with millions of hours of play time, which obviously makes it impossible for me to rank up. And I know for a fact that not all rank 1s are that experienced. I also shouldn’t have to face rank 1s before actually reaching it myself. 

And here I thought the point of ranking up was that you’d be put against people with the same rank/similar skill level as you, and then you would see who’d get to proceed to the next level. Seems pretty unfair to me that I have to try and achieve rank 1 by going against rank 1s (and thus, forever staying in my current rank). I’m not even there yet and the game will never give me a chance, therefore it will never happen. Also holy shit, high rank games suck so much. The killers sure like to bitch how toxic survivors are (and I agree with that) but man… killers are just as toxic in the high ranks. Like it’s my fault that my non-toxic noob ass has to be put in a toxic team. I’m never toxic and yet i get punished for it.

Another reason why I will never get to rank 1 is because it’s too stressful. Too much grinding. I don’t have the patience for it. Even this season I was struggling to play the game enough every week. Besides, I don’t think it’s even is possible for me to reach rank 1 on PC (solo), considering that DbD players on PC have potentially played this game for years. At least people on PS4 have pretty much the same amount of experience because the game is relatively new on PS4 (and most of the rank 1s I’ve seen play with lower level friends – therefore their games are significantly easier). But on PC? ALONE? Potentially it’s a match between a player who has 2000 hours of experience and a player who has under 300 hours. I had to go against someone with 2,5K hours, with 100/101 achievements, no doubt all characters prestiged. Very fair and balanced match, so much fun for me lol.

Or just, you know. Bad luck, I guess.
