    The game just got no chill anymore. When you're mediocre like me, you're gonna have a really bad time. Also I don't have the time to play this game 24/7 nor am I interested to.

    All I ask for is a fighting chance. Is that really too much to ask? Because now this "Masochism Simulator" we got going on here is just a monumental waste of time and energy.

    @Solim66 Play during the weekday. I've found that not only are the matches way more balanced, but hit detection and enemy positions aren't lagging behind due to server issues. During peak times this game feels so sluggish. When I play during the weekday it's very crisp and feels great because it feels like you actually have a fighting chance.

    I think what people seem to miss is that it only requires 1 or 2 squads of 2-3 masters/predator players and they will most likley stomp everything until they run into each other and actually get a fair fight. 


    I had such game just yesterday. I was randomly teamed with one Predator, 20k/4k player, one with diamond banners and 4k and I am also a 4k 20 kill player...So we were pretty stacked and we stomped almost every fight we ran into the entire game, never letting the enemy team even heal before they were dead.   And this went on until there was only 2 squads left and when we eventually found each other and started to fight, we actually had a super swearty and even fight, going back and forth for the the entire round 3 and round 4 of the ring. And when I was checking my death summery, two of them also had 4k banners etc.

    So what I am trying to say is that I dont think its a correct assessment of the situation to say that there are "50% masters in pub lobbies" only because you often die to one.. Franky, I don't even think there are even close to 30 master+ players queuing for pubs at all times..  OFC its a much higher probability that you get killed by a master/pred/4k dmg/20 kill player, it doesnt mean that there are THAT many of them in the lobby. Especially not on Kings Canyon since its pretty fast to move from the maps POIs for "stomping squads". So if you die very late in the game, to a  "stacked master/pred squad" that has 10-20 squad kills, then it will tell you that it most likely wasnt that many similar stacked squad in the lobby.

    With being said; I think its super unfair that these squads are allowed in the same lobby. Like in my example, we stomped everything and there were perhaps only one other squad in that lobby (the one we lost to) that could kill us unless we threw it like running solo and trying to 1v3 etc..

    @LetMeVsBotsI would've thought that playing during peak hours might be more interesting because there are more players to choose from and it might deliver a more fair playing field. Sometimes I think I might get easier lobbies Sunday afternoon, but it's pure speculation.

    @BalladalidilaIn the last match I played (after all the other very tough lobbies with many top tier players), I had two 4k dmg teammates. We were contested by one other squad after landing. They defeated us and all of them had a 4k dmg badge. A minute later, they got killed by another triple stack with 4k/20 kill badges. I stopped spectating after that, but I remember the sky turning purple when squads left the drop ship so there must've been other master players as well. This is why I find it extremely hard to believe that that lobby was randomized. Or any of the previous lobbies that were quite similar.
