140 game losing streak
My lobbies are still 70% Masters contrails, 20% Preds, and about 10% no contrails. I’m still genuinely shocked you people think this is ok.

@Axs5626Sxa5001 Fine. You're hiding behind the general assumption that the matchmaking system is setting you up for a loss, yet do not take steps to analyze your own steps on that path to losing. Those who believe the game should be themselves plowing through a queue of "bots"/"noobs"/"trash" every game is missing the whole point of matchmaking. You're facing players who are roughly at your own performance level for the last few rounds, which means if you're giving 100% every game, the player who outsmarts/outaims/gets better rng is going to hand your * right back to you, and you'll still end up with players who are roughly at your own performance level. Change your pace, play at your teammates' terms, don't do the same old meta and expect things to fall into your lap at the earliest convenience.
@EryxApex
You think I think the matchmaking is setting me up for a loss?
I don’t actually.
What I believe in, is that the experience of players who are average or above average matter. As it stands right now, there are players who are silver-level (regarding skill) who win at the same rate or more than master level players.
I’m just sour that I can LITERALLY go 140 games of playing the best console players in the world And STILL be thrown into the same PUBLIC lobbies with them. LOL— shouldn’t the SBMM derank me into easier lobbies?
- @Axs5626Sxa5001 No, it's setting you up for a (in theory) fair fight. I'd say you probably perform better than the lower perfoming Master rank/lowest performing Predator rank players, and therefore get tossed into matches with said players.
@EryxApex
You call it fair— I call it miserable.
I think the common misconception is that high skilled players want to run through lobbies and stomp. I assure you I don’t want that.
I want variance and I want choice. I don’t want every match to be as sweaty as possible— I want my ranked games to play like this. If I am a master-level player, I want to be performing better (overall, regarding win and kill ratios in ranked AND pubs) than players who are gold level regarding skill. As it stands right now, my buddy who can’t break into plat has a higher KD and win loss ratio than I do. He enjoys his pubs and I lose the high majority of mine. He is playing regular people and I am constantly playing iTemp or iStayGoated or SoarKobi—- I am clearly not better than these players but I am always in their lobby.
What’s worse? A lower skilled player occasionally running into these guys? Or me ALWAYS running into these guys?
And trust me, I have done plenty of research on the SBMM algorithm across various accounts. Players are typically dropped into lower lobbies after 40 losses. Something has changed over the last month regarding the algorithms aggressiveness and it’s hurting players who are above average.
But screw us right? We’re the minority so who cares. Matchmaking should be prioritized around maximizing The lower skilled players’ experience and making the most amount of money possible.- @Axs5626Sxa5001 well...
How are you losing?
On drop with 0 kills and barely any damage?
Final ring with 5+kills and nearly 1k+ damage?
If you're consistently performing well then you're not gonna be dropped.
the sbmm is actually built for you to lose, to increase play time. It gives you worse teammates and better enemies.
