Solo Q experience - Respawn is biggest cause of death
Seriously, it's been so many seasons, when are they going to think about the solo experience and stop doing match fixing by having solos go against full parties? That's like having an NBA all-star team playing against random high schoolers. It is nothing short of cheating and given that, Respawn is by FAR the biggest cheater in this game.
I can't tell if it's worse in ranked where you are playing to win with an extremely unfair advantage, or in PUBS where it completely takes out the entire fun to the game rendering the whole experience useless.
Yesterday I had a squad who was clearly communicating hiding in the boxing ring and flat out refusing to participate in the game. They stayed there for about 6 minutes until the ring started pushing them out. I managed to pull a kraber headshot on a Gibby, they even started body blocking but I pulled 3 more straight shots until I executed him. Team hides again and respawns the Gibby, I manage to pull yet another Kraber headshot on one of them, then another kraber shot on the Gibby off the ship. At this point, I've pulled sick shots back-to-back, yet I am still left in a 1V1 situation where one downed enemy is constantly pinging my location while the other is giving his team cover with the knockdown shield. These people are straight up teaming sweats and communicating in PUBs while my teammates this whole time? Sniping another team halfway across the map when I'm 1 building next to them. This is something that makes the game impossible even for the highest players like Aceu, who constantly dies in 1v3 situations, and it takes him several games until he gets a successful win. Imagine expecting an average player to have streamer/Pro level of performance and even then, you're at an extreme disadvantage. Again, nothing short of straight up cheating and match fixating.
The worst part of this is that it is SO EASY, just DO NOT MATCH SQUADS AGAINST SOLOs unless someone specifically unchecks the "fill teammates" button. How hard is it and how can you possibly preach to banning cheaters when you are the biggest cheater in the game?
I agree that 3-man premade squads have NO place in lobbies vs random from a competitive fairness POV, just like 5-man premades in games like LoL cant play against a team of 5 randoms.
I think there should be three types of lobbies; one for 3-man full premades, one for solo queuers only and ofc the already exisiting for duos, which I guess has to include both premade duos and randoms.
If a duo premade chooses plays in squad mode, they will always be a 2-man squad. Why? Because a high elo premade duo + one random of random skill level is still such a competitive advantage in a lobby of mostly randoms that it breaks a game. Also, a premade duo will usually destroy the fun for their random teammate, who they will treat like crap. So many times a premade duo uses me (and my death) as a distraction to either run away or revive one another etc.
This will lead to natural incentives for premade duos to either accept the rules and play as a 2-man squad in trios, accepting the advantage of being a premade duo for the cost of being outnumbered. OR they can play in the lobbies designated for them, namely DUOS = fair for everyone OR get a third premade player and play in the 3-man premade lobbies = fair for everyone OR dont play as a premade duo and play as solos in the solo queue = fair for everyone.But even if they implemented something like this, people would still cry and moan over having to play vs better players than them but I guess thats another issue.
