Pub Stomping - Unfair Lobbies

Definition: When high-tier players play in casual Public Pubs lobbies or low-ranked lobbies to get high kills damage, effectively dominating or stomping the lobby.

 

Why is this being allowed and what can be done about it?

 

I was playing Gun Run and the top tier players was killing so insanely fast that the mathc didmt even last 2 min this is not cool how are we suppose to enjoy the game when guys like that are just dominating

  • The list of things that CAN be done about it is long.

    The list of things that WILL be done about it is readily apparent: absolutely nothing.

    This game has a 100% tolerance policy for players to run as many secondary accounts as they like, and while the developer claims that running one for the purposes of cheating the matchmaker is against the TOS agreement, I guarantee you that they have never once banned anyone for this because there is no way to prove culpability. The TOS threat is just empty posturing to make normal players feel as if the developer gives a rat's **bleep** about the abuses we suffer at the hands of hard stuck masters who get tired of sweating in their own lobbies and then start a secondary so they can "have some fun" riding their way through the ranks until they stall out again near the top. Rinse. Repeat.

    Secondaries aren't just tolerated. They're condoned. They're expected. They're encouraged. It matters not to the player using one, or the developer who wags their finger at the player while winking on the side at the same time... it matters not to any of them what this does to the experience of other players. Anyone using a secondary is a cheater, and if the developer had any integrity they would either shut down these accounts or ban players who use them. No excuses. Not, "I need it for my little brother." Not, "I play ALGS and I don't always want to queue in public and have people know who I am." Not, "I stream rookie-to-predator runs and my subs love it." None of that garbage is a legit reason to pretend to be someone you're not. There is no legit reason to pretend to be someone you're not. It's a pox on this game. It's been a pox on every other game I've ever played. In fact, I've never played any game that wasn't ruined, sooner or later, by the players. Sometimes while the developer looks the other way and pretends no damage is being done. Or that the benefits outweigh the toxicity.

  • All you can do is stop spending in the store, convince everyone you know that plays this game to stop spending.... then and only then, will Respawn and EA start to actually listen (pending their heads are out of their a****) to be able to hear anything. Mind you one has to be willing to listen to hear. 

    If most of the entire player base was to stop spending overnight - most things would be fixed pretty quickly. Like the cheating/ broken MM, sound, smurfing and balancing. 

    We hold the power for change only unified, putting away our wallets. But we know that is never going to happen. So as long as the simps out there continue to spend, spend, spend despite the state of this once great game, Apuke Legends is what we are stuck with. 

    Enjoy. 

  • Is so flippen sad that they are messing up the game like this. Instead of fixinhg the game they do a stupid update to break windows I mean common, They should be more involved in the lobbies  and actually remove players who cheat
