@Zuputuni Godawful arguments.
Not even gonna touch on the Overwatch thing...
"BR games are not fair by design, the loot is random", yeah, except a pro can wipe squads of noobs fully equipped with Peacekeepers with a stock P2020 because skill.
A newbie will stop being a newbie but the chance of becoming great is small. People have lives, families, jobs. Not everyone is a 16-year old who can play 8 hours a day anymore and consistently throwing those guys together in the same game as people who have much more experience and time to play only means one thing: they'll lose. Every. Single. Time. And there's a squad of those in pretty much every single game. How often do you see "introducing your champions" at the start of a match and it's a 3 man squad of players who don't have more kills each than the average squad combined? So what incentive do those players have to keep playing if the chance to win is near non-existent because RNG throws monsters into your game? Tell me please, I'm all ears.
You don't want to deal with smurfs? Every single new player essentially already has to deal with smurfs because the nonexistent matchmaking can throw someone playing their first game into the same lobby as Shroud or really any good player of which there are a lot, with the exception that if matchmaking was implemented, the smurf would immediately rise in ranking and not bother the new players anymore after that or 1-2 games more unless they make another account, and then another and another and another. It's called disincentivizing.
If it's not perfect it shouldn't be implemented? ANY solution is better than the nothing that exists, because the current system does not need to be abused because the godly players already get thrown into games with tons of noobs as is, they don't even have to do anything.
Why don't you simply admit you want easy kills on noobs and not actually challenging gameplay against people who pose a threat against you? It's okay to admit that. But maybe, I dunno, you could go to a playground and steal someone's lollipop instead or something.
Are you psychotic? When did i say i want easy kills against noobs? I am a noob my self. This is the first BR game i ever played. I just don't struggle as much as you people here apparently.
I play a lot of games, i win very very few and lose a ton. Do i lose because there are better players than me? Of course, that is the point. I play against better palyers so i can become better. If i was playing against noobs how on earth would i ever improve?
Also smurfs are not an issue now, since you don't stand to lose anything by losing a couple of matches. Smurfs will be an issue when you start losing games and that forces you to lose rating and be placed lower with worse palyers than yourself as your teammates.
You do not become better by getting your whole squad bodied in 2 seconds by a 16 hours a day twitch streamer and his squad. You get better by fighting slightly better people or else everyone starting out with anything would just start with the hardest thing they can find. Why start with easy songs playing the piano if you can try the fantaisie impromptu by Chopin? BECAUSE THAT IS NOT HOW YOU BECOME BETTER.
And you already get placed with worse players. Or better. Or something. And against worse players. Or better. Or something. Whatever the drunk RNG feels like at the moment. Forever.
With matchmaking? You get into a match with a smurf. The smurf bodies everyone. The smurf instantly rises into harder matches. You fall a bit and get easier matches. Because they're easier, you get back to where you belong fast.
That's why I said your arguments are godawful. Smurfs aren't a problem right now because the kind of people who would smurf already get exactly what they want. New players they can easily kill. With no effort required on their side and no repercussions.
"You get into a match with a smurf. The smurf bodies everyone. The smurf instantly rises into harder matches. You fall a bit and get easier matches. Because they're easier, you get back to where you belong fast."
Are you that thick that you do not get what 3 people have said already to you? It's not up to you whether you get back to the rating you belong.Because in the new lower rank with the easier matches like you said, you still need 2 more people to be competent and play good, else you lose again and you lose even more rating. It's not a hard concept to grasp honestly. i just believe you want to believe in your own bs arguments and do not want to even consider or understand what other people are saying. In your head somehow you think that skill rating will help you win matches. Like others said, go play OW they have skill rating MM come back here and tell us how many matches you won.
This rating system you ask cannot work for both squads and solo players. It's either or.
Exactly that. +1
A lot of the counter arguments to ranked or casual servers center around improving your game play. I think this is pretty important and I've been watching a ton of guides that have helped with looting, positioning, area rotating, sewing confusion, team work, etc. I still struggle with aiming though and no advice will help that. Watching streamers and death cam in game, it's crazy how fast a lot of people's reactions are and their ability to track players like magnets. I've been practicing on the practice range, as suggested on here but it could do with some work. The targets are either static or trundle along in a very slow and predictable fashion. What's needed are targets that * backwards and forwards and bunny hop about like their having a demonic episode, to have any real use in improving aim for this game. An addition to the game like this isn't going to * off elite players I hope, so how about it Devs?
That is a great suggestion. I agree.
A ranked mode seems like it is going to happen so that may smooth out the extremes of the general que a bit but I highly doubt a full SBMM system will be implemented in the general team que because there are too many ways to abuse/grief the system and too hard to balance amongst other marketing reasons. Maybe if they bring out a solo mode it can work there but that also separates the player base likely too much and will cause longer ques. Yes this game has however many millions of players now but it wont have that in month from now or a year from now, it is already losing steam. If it is really bothering you I guess give it a break and see what the future brings because I doubt it will change anytime soon.
