Re: New season; gone from 10+kills per game to 5 and under

Have noticed the cheaters yes.  The "pro" Players  hmmm not so much.     I am gold 3 now and all i get in my team is silver/bronze that keep asking me to NOT attack but avoid all enemy's and hide untill last 5........ now maybe 1/100 matches is fun to do so and try stay undetected.

but after 30 matches in a row where your teammates loot and hide its kinda hard not to get reported for telling them to ***************************************

...............................................Yet for a FREE Game...............Filled with Bugs,Cheaters,Lags,Errors,Weird People,    i still play:D

You could be playing against better players suddenly?  Lots of players returned to check out the new changes.  If you're playing ranked instead of pubstomping you'll be coming up against other players which aren't potatoes.

Nah definitely not better players , bare in mind you still get to see the banner of who killed you and they’re all trash . Get killed by someone with the 20kill badge an huge wins etc- that’s fine , get one shotted by some bronze rank level 12 pathfinder that has 80 total kills - that’s bs . 

Point is I know when the game is [Removed - CM] me over and when I’ve been outplayed  and it’s never the latter anymore it’s just seemingly silent games and then 3rd /4th/5th/6th partied , or instant killed by any weapon by some laggy **** , and it’s those deaths that are angering me along with all the other bugs this season has brought back.

I;m having the same problem. There is multiple reasons this is happening. 1: If you're playing ranked: you;re playing against better people meaning they kill eachother more which leads to less for you to kill. 2: obviously new meta, new map etc, you gotta get used to it and how ppl play with it.

Whats probably the biggest reason is the fact that the first ring is smaller. Since its smaller you usually have to run further for it and in 9/10 games atleast 5 squads meet eachother at the edge of that ring and fight 1 big chaotic battle. This leads to a lot less people to kill.

I agree with the comment about the ring size that totally makes sense and should be changed straight away, but with the rest I totally disagree because; 

most at people have been climbing the ranks from simply camping which takes no skill whatsoever and therefore proves that I’m not going against mor skilled players, and as I said earlier I’m playing against people with barely any kills or anything .

And the only differences the map and weapon changes have made is that the alternator and re45 is now op af and the loot is so badly unbalanced.

As a few people earlier have said I really think it’s down to bugs and lag but your comment about the ring size definitely factors into it

Well:

1# ranked mode.  Yes you are playing against better people, Not everybody climbs the ranks with hiding.

The people you are meeting ( The people shooting you, Climbed the ranks obviously running around and shooting. )

2# Looking at your picture, You are a pathfinder player. People are able to hit pathfinders now his hotbox isn't broken anymore. AND you take 5% extra damage.

3# Weps deal more damage. ( So a noob surpising you deals more damage fast now. )

4# Ring size yeh

5# Ranked mode again!,  your not god, You are just meeting people equally or even more skilled as you are now.

If you get matched up against people with the same skill as you. You lose 50% of the fights. ( Not matches but FIGHTS. )

Thats how people get stuck in the rating they are supposed to be.

All the people complaining this game is to easy suddenly play against the other TOP players. And they get put in their place.

Same happend to you.

Saying people are doing fishy stuff because they are able to kill you.
And its can't be skill because they are idiots.

Welcome to ranked play! people are getting kicked off their pinacle of selfclaimed gods. And meet their match.

Well I respectfully disagree and here’s why:

1#Your unbelievably naive if you think no one is hiding to climb ranks , so many people are complaining about it as it’s one of the most viable point earners in ranked and one of the many reasons why the ranked system is broken . It’s absolutely bs and I discourage it to anyone but people are gonna exploit the system currently in place much like the losers who were camping to get a higher elite streak when the event was on. 

2# I’m not a pathfinder player I use every character except Gibraltar, with pathfinder being my 4th go to after mirage, octane , bloodhound - so don’t make assumptions.

3# I never said I was a ‘god’ at this game and am perfectly happy to accept I’m on the better side of average - more like consistent , and and I already said above I’m more than happy to admit when I’ve been outplayed . Being seemingly one shotted or (having my level 3 armour turned to dust by the re45) by some low level player who doesn’t strafe , has terrible positioning and isn’t even working with their team is not skill it’s luck and bs and it’s happening often enough for me to bother making a post about it. Getting killed by a premade squad with co ordination  or some nutter that has the 20kill badge and 500wins with their main is being outplayed , what I’m talking about is not atall.

When the ranked started , besides all the details, I only considered myself a gold rank player with maybe hopes of climbing to platinum or even diamond in the long run and of course I expected the matches to get harder due to skill ramping! - BUT I’m currently at gold 1 almost platinum and I’m still playing against bronze rank players who smash me regardless of their inexperience and bad plays .

I honestly think a balance patch is needed asap to fix a lot of the problems  with weapons and ring and as for lag etc , well I’ve done all I can on my end and have a stable and fast connection and play console so am not able to have any other problems that would be my fault . 

EDIT; misread your first bit and thought you were completely denying the fact that people hide so sorry for that, but still it definitely is happening more often than not . 

And my comments prob look aggressive and snappy - I’m currently playing and encountered some of the very bs were discussing just before replying , so again sorry for that haha

@DaAceXDYour wrong about the ranked match. Maybe you have been so lucky to avoid most of the crap but i can tell you i have not.

I do agree with you with meeting my match. after bieng killed and spectating my opponent, i see some oponnents that are so good its amazing to stay and watch.

however.
Sometimes that oponnent is so good its easy to see why.
Lag. its a fact. the game and server are obvious having issues... you cant deny that.
it even happens on a positive way. that i myself see the red line in my screen and enemy's shoot at me and i hardly get damaged.

Because of lag the hit registration is a mess. iv seen bullits go trough enemy's like they are a ghost.
You could even call this soft-cheating.

Now back to the ranked.... I cannot accept a player that is gold ranked but has a level lower then 25 and kills me like a pro. and not once but most of the games i play. and i mean pro....shooting headshot after headshot with a wingman from huge distances... yet having less then 100 kills on that legend. this is possible yet its hard to believe when it happens over and over. now im not saying those people are aimbotters or cheaters in anyway. but if these people are suppose to be "my match" as you put it... how come i dont stand a chance against low levels, and have an amazing battle against high levels.

They are called smurfs,

You can't determain if anyone is good by stats at all.

Even worse, stats are bound to the legend.

So he could not be playing his main that match.

A player with 30K kills and a K/D of 1 is way worse then a player with 1000 kills and a K/D of 5.

I don't understand why it matters who kills you.

You died, You don't think its cheats then its fine.

@DaAceXDYes i understand that. i know people who played to level 100 and where not happy about the legend/weapon skins they recieved so started a new clean account to start over an maybe recieve legendary skins for there favorite legend.

However. there is an obvious pattern sinds season 2, Like i said Low level destroys me, and high level just gives me a hard time as in season 1. now you cant expect me too believe that every single low level player i come accros has the skill and brain to shoot me and my squad down withoud braking a sweat. ofcourse there will always be people on low level that are very good.. but as for now 99% of them are Godlike.

and that can only mean that there is something differant/bugged/glitchy about the game that many of us apparently seem to miss.

it simply cant be a weapon damage change or some changes to the map that takes me from a good/very good player too a complete idiot that has a huge target on his head that cant be missed..


so its fine? no!
it will be "accetable" when for the first time in season 2 i will get over 1000 damage in 1 match. ( which is the amount of damage i did 5/10 games in season 1 )

And just now that FINALLY happend...
