My thing is how are new players supposed to learn the game or have fun when they get put into lobbies with Predators, people with 20 kill badges, over 3,000 kills or some BS like that. My nephew & cousin are new & I try to help them but we get wiped by these types of players almost every single time we load in! By the time they figure out where they're being shot from their dead! They play 3 or 4 matches & then quit.

@bwhitt3384 If they are new players - they will play with new players 1-20lvl (from the beginning until they develop a little), but if you join them, the game will automatically put you in stronger lobbies to stop you from farming new players. You better leave your nephew & cousin to play duo and learn. 2 players below level 20 and 1 players level 350+ and you expect to play against level 1-30? good joke :D

@IamPapiHans that's slightly true... however, I'm level 500+, highest rank so far being Plat IV (normal ranked), and I STILL get low level teammates and go against low level players. Most are smurphs, but my teammates are usually new players or just bots.

@IamPapiHans I have two friends that I would sometimes play with, one is almost level 500, and the other is around level 200 or so. (They started in like Season 4 or 5), when they play together, they get "normal" lobbies, people aren't highly skilled, they're not preds/masters/diamond/plat ranks, they're usually not low levels, yet when I join them; we're instantly shoved into high tier pred matches where almost everyone has the 20 kill, 4k damage badges, and most of the time theses players are only level 20 or around that level with a masters or pred rank badge.

@bwhitt3384 it's not a problem of newbies, I suffer exactly the same at diamond level. Controller aim assist is completely broken, and any decent player running on controller will wipe you out in less than a second.Adding that every team seems to be S.O.B (seer, octane, bloodhound) so wallhack is constantly on. Putting this 2 legends together has completely ruined the game.Seer is already broken, and combined with Octane, Bloodhound and aim assist, this is what we get.

@Midnight9746 Same here 500+ (2.5 k/d) and my teammates are not close to my skill level or game level. Most of the time we are playing against 400+ lvl players - normal ones, sometimes masters/preds. When I'm playing with my friends (pre-made) we are facing monsters , thats why we are avoiding playing pre-made.

New Players Bad Experience!

@hydroskate606 Level 5 mixed with 60-60+ - then your first game wasn't that bad, right 🙂 The game is not that dumb to let skilled players erase new players/bot lobbies. I know some people think they will create a new account and will take 20 kills and 4k damage badges super easy or going to fight for heirloom shards. Smurfing is a big problem as the cheating problem.
