@SnuggleyPuffs- Wow. Must be nice to have a competitive squad. Most of us do not.
You don't understand that. You are in the top 5% of players most likely. If you want to play with your friends, jump into a normal game. You complain about the SBMM is too difficult with you on the team with your 'lower' end friends...
WELCOME TO OUR WORLD 24/7 and now the pros are doing it in ranked. What don't you guys understand?
@SnuggleyPuffsIf you want to play with your friends for THEIR SAKE, then they'll just have to get on your level or understand it's going to be a sweaty match.
I'm not good in most respects, but out of all my RL friends I play with, I'm the best of the bunch, so when we play together they're going up against far better skilled players than they are. You know how much they cry (like you're doing for your friends?)? NONE, because they know when they team up with me it's going to be a battle, and the few games we win make it that much better.
You're the one saying the system is busted when IT IS DOING EXACTLY WHAT IT IS SUPPOSED TO. I'm not crying, I'm looking out for the EXACT same people you're supposedly looking out for, your friends, and calling out the people your "friends" get upset about dying to, you.
Yes, there is a system built to create a competitive environment; its called RANKED. We have two modes to choose from; casual and ranked. Whenever you wanna go up and compete vs equally skilled players, you play ranked. But sometimes you want to play -> casually <- therefore you choose to play -> casual <- mode. But when you reach a certain skill level, casual mode becomes exactly as sweaty and competitive as high elo ranked. A lobby full of players with 2+ K/D like myself is NOT a casual gaming environment for anyone.
Sometimes you want to goof around, try out weird weapon combos, new legends or just play casually with your friends regardless of their skill but this SBMM makes that impossible. The only way to enjoy casual for me is to group up with two equally skilled players and sweat our ❤️❤️❤️❤️ off which isnt very casual. I have nothing against a soft SBMM that saves the very worst players to be matched against Predator skilled players too often, but all Im saying is that the SBMM is to strict right now.
And also, who has the fragile ego here? Who here wants the game to be catered to his needs? YOU. You want special treatment because you can handle free for all. We who dont want SBMM want everyone to play with everyone; no handicap, no special treatment. Sometimes you get killed by someone more skilled, sometimes you kill someone less skilled. But once again; to have "casual" lobby full of only player with 2+ K/D isnt casual.
There's nothing wrong with smurfing. It's not cheating either. It does suck though when you run into smurfs as you are trying to rank up solo queuing. I expect them to see if they are smurfing or cheating and they are usually smurfs. However, smurfs are only an issue in Bronze to at Least Gold. Platinum is where smurfs somewhat dies
@BabbediboopiNope, nice try. Ranked is for playing against equally RANKED players in that season. "Casual" does not mean "go up against anyone, mostly those less skilled than me". Non-ranked is just that, non-ranked, you're not playing for rank points, so it's "casual" with NOTHING TO LOSE, except the match, when you're going up against equally SKILLED players, hence, SKILLED Based Match Making.
"The only way to enjoy casual for me is to group up with two equally skilled players and sweat our ❤️❤️❤️❤️ off which isnt very casual" IS EXACTLY HOW EVERYONE ELSE HAS TO DO IT, except you want to take those lesser skilled matches and destroy the other 57 other players because you wouldn't belong.
My ego ain't fragile 'cause I don't have one. You just outed yourself my friend, you WANT TO PLAY AGAINST LESS SKILLED PLAYERS, PERIOD.
It's not going to happen, it's not how the game is set up to be played, you're rightfully going to be playing against equally skilled players in pub (casual = not ranked, NOT casual = not competitive) or equally ranked players in ranked. You're best bet to smash on less skilled players is the beginning of every ranked season, so you can at least enjoy that 🙂
