im assuming gone because survivors would dodge swf gamers if they saw the rank 16-20 in the lobby

gone , because people from rank 10-1 are dodging lobbies with rank 20 survivors in it

It's gone. You're supposed to play in full SWF right now or just dodge all non-cosmetics Claudettes

It was a bug apparently... Rank, character level and prestige level. I can't find now where they originally mentioned it.
Fixed an issue that caused character and prestige levels to be visible to other Survivors in a public lobby.

So they removed a "bug" that helped players get a better matchmaking, something the devs can't fix. Makes sense to remove something that helps you play with and against people your rank.

For me it was an added value, i'm sure many would agree. I did dodge at the very beginning, but never again later.

Just had a nice game with ranks 13, 16 and 5 (i’m 4), killer was 8.
i’d definitely dodge this lobby because as they stated somewhere killer rank is chosen based on the highest survivor rank in the lobby (-5 max or smth like that) and grey ranks should play with grey/green ranks killer. But this wonderful update came with the most useful and informative feature removed... maybe you should fix your freaking matchmaking system first?
not surprised though
it was on ps4

I gotta agree with Peanits. The rank and level thing being removed was a great idea. The lobby dodging was heavy.
The removed it, and eventually will get rid of the ability to see level and tier status of characters too
Exactly, you can always tell immediately if you have a rank 20 in your match. And then it's just confirmation at the end.
Terrible decision tbh. It makes the already meaningless ranking system even more worthless.
it’s really not going to stop any issues, in face it’s gonna make it worse. If survivors know they’re playing with low ranks, they’re gonna die on hook which is a lot worse than “dodging lobbies”. But i guess they’ll see the stats in a month and see it to be true lol.
people only “dodge lobbies” because the matchmaking is broken and we want fair teammates on our level. Nobody wants a rank 18 when you’re purple or red rank so they can die fast and penalize you. maybe once they fix the main issue of how matchmaking doesn’t work at all, then we wouldn’t care.
I liked being able to see ranks. It was a flex for the high rank people and also let you dodge brown rank teammates.
I don't mind SWF but when it's a rank 1 taking their rank 16 friend along? It's just an easy 3v1 for the rank 1 killer the lobby will get. I liked knowing to dodge or to take a key along for the inevitable hatch game.
yep. it's wonderful being rank 6 and getting lobbies with rank 13's
at least before I could dodge those.
Why am I forced to play with rank 20 teammates?
How will I know if there's a baby to protect?!
This is very bad. Today I (rank 4) had to play with someone rank 20... I had no idea of course.
Wait... so you're telling me, I've been playing for half a year with a bug they just noticed/care to fix?
ok....
Way to stick it to the solo survivors. You may want to ease up on that. Their balls must be gettin sore from the constant kicks and punches.
But how is it fair to have to play with rank 18-20 when your in red rank? How is it fair for the rank 18-20 that does instantly. Might as well go back to the instant dc games and it's a 3v1 the whole game. Atleast you know upfront and aren't relying on someone that is so new to the game they can't do anything?
This is a feature that should have stayed in the game.
So red ranks are now forced to play with rank 20s thatd just die instanly because of the skill gap? Also theres a forum on bringing it back with about 100 upvotes right now so might wanna look at the feedback of your decision.
