Elite queue is a JOKE

Finally got the new update and barely managed to get into top 5 with randoms and went into this 'elite' lobby with much enthusiasm and do you know what my first match was like? A level SEVEN joins with Gibraltar no less anchors afk after dropping only to die immediately and spam his banner before leaving,a thanks to the faster ring myself and the remaining teammate were half dead before making it out only to be gang * by a much more competent squad.

My second game wasn't any different either,got paired with two campers who sounded no older than 7 or 8, they landed in swamps and I had to hide in a corner for a good 10 minutes before they finally showed up, and even after that they preferred to stay passive and loot every good piece of equipment including a mastiff leaving me with lv1 armour and a damn Alternator and when again we got deleted by a more competent squad before getting a SINGLE kill I had more damage with a toy gun than the bot who swiped a * MASTIFF!

PLEASE put a LEVEL REQUIREMENT for anyone who wants to enter this so called 'elite' lobby because getting carried through a match should NOT mean you're good enough to enter it

    @Pretzelnutcake, Caustic, I shed blod for the Allfather, yet it is hard to find that our enemies are hiding in the bushes like meek little deer. This behaviour for deer is understandable since they are food on which we feast, given to us by the Gods. Yet our enemies and sometimes our teammates have weapons and as such have no honor among themselves or (for) us because they can fight back.
    The times that our teammates do actually shoot, they are not blessed by the Gods for their aim is not one with their sights. I fear that our brethren will eventually cower like arachnids in a hole until an enemy strings their web and then decide to strike. That time shall only prove if they are favored by the Gods.

    May the Gods bless us and our enemies to let the hunt continue to see who's favored!

    Jeez writing like how Bloodhound might talk is annoying XD

    @Koochi-Q that deserves a medal lol maybe they'll hire you to write voice lines for him

    @FishingAddict24 when I said I was hiding in a corner I meant I landed, geared up and was ready for action within minutes and also got a head start towards the next ring because it closes faster in 'elite' queue, but my teammates didn't get the memo and spent half the match running circles in swamps making sure no stone was left unturned before being forced to regroup with me by the closing ring. Afterwards we saw a care package and one player pinged a Mastiff to which I immediately called dibs because again I had a friggin Alternator, but the same player who swiped a 301 from under my nose also ignored my dibs and yanked the Mastiff despite being a level 20 something with the aim and the reaction time of a blind man in a coma (I had plenty of time to watch his ELITE LEVEL gameplay when I got killed because my teammates who were two feet away didn't come to help me fight the full squad that I pinged before having to engage because they were on top of me)

    I just wish the sound level across the map was a little less from zone to zone. I can hear gunshots from swamps to air base and I feel like that is a little unreasonable. Then the third party team that runs from swamps to air base to fight is now shooting a half equipped team with reduced resources. 

    Also another possibly is maybe adding a damage reduction buff temporarily right after you wipe an entire team for like 10 seconds. Enough to get away from the other party and possibly heal a little bit before battling again. 

    Fix the peacekeeper( I say this cause I use it as well cause its pretty easy and OP). An non-legendary gun should not be able to one shot a fully health/purple armored player regardless. That or remove the million and one hop ups that are dropped everywhere in elite and make them all legendary.

    I agree, and the bots are ridiculous now adays, i get them in my games constantly. It's easy to tell they're fake players. I hate the whole new bot approach to games now adays. So many by-rote incompetent players. No one plays in unison, just adolescent animals dreaming of short circuiting and getting a win, no one plays with any integrity anymore.

    @Pretzelnutcake, lolz thx. I'd rather have a voice acting gig for one of the new legends tho :P yours for caustic only missed the macabre yet scientifically sound reasoning of death missing. The intellectual part was all there xD.

    Elite Queue is something new. We and the Devs are just getting a first taste of it, what it is and what it needs to be. With our feedback help it can be improved, but we cannot expect it to be perfect since the first moment - that is not how software development works.

    @D3loFF a little common sense on the development teams part would've made it great off the bat, they knew very well this isn't going to work out before even launching the update hence all the precautions like the one where you don't get disqualified from the elite queue if a teammate leaves the game. I literally unlocked the Bloodhound skin not by being top 5 in every lobby but by eventually getting there after losing back to back multiple matches but never getting kicked from the queue because there was a leaver in 9 out of 10 games I played in this 'elite' queue..

    It's one of the least thought out things added to the game. It impacts games so much, and not in a good way, everyone wants to hide and if you're unfortunate enough to land away from the zone with a bunch of different teams that you have to fight, by the time the fighting in your general area stops, you have to move into the zone, only to be greeted by edge of the circle campers that look to get top 5.The overall purpose of the match is defeated, which usually was win the the most amount of kills that you can get, now it makes people only want to hide to get continuous top5 for the bull crap queue. It's an endless cycle, i hope it gets removed as soon as season 2 starts and replaced with a skill based queue (ranked).

    @Throhjen I recall even seeing a YouTube video saying the best way to get a high win streak is to land in a quiet place and avoid running into battles if possible meaning even that streak badge that could possibly tell if a player is good or not is useless because you could get high streaks just by hiding. Really really hope they make the next event either level or kill/damage based so you HAVE to chase those fights in order to get stuff. Camping is just not what this game was made for but that's exactly what's happening right now
