@apostolateofDOOM you're dealing 1000+ damage which implies you're hitting shots. That indicates something about your skill rating. You could have always positioned yourself better or heard the guy. That indicates something about your skill. But this guy walked up behind you while you were healing. He hit you so that indicates he's good enough to hit a person which gives him a very tiny boost to his skill rating based on accuracy and engagement rules. You lose a tiny bit because of your poor positioning. But I want to stress how little you would lose in such a circumstance. You could not lose any at all. This is an open forum. Hitboxes factor into accuracy and while Respawn suggests certain characters are used certain ways, you don't HAVE to use them that way. I got an aggressive 19 Kill 4600 damage game with Rampart and used her walls 4 times that game. I didn't even use Sheila. The aim assist system in this game is how they track accuracy. You really think that if you shoot 30 bullets into a wall Respawn decreases your overall accuracy? You'd be put into skill brackets very similar to ranked with with RP. Except RP becomes your skill rating. There'd be a range to allow for plays having better or worse games still in the same bracket. Keep having good games, keep moving up the ladder.
And you're absolutely wrong. There is NO FLUACTUATION WHATSOEVER in the lobbies now. That's the whole point. That's the key point to all of this. Fluactuation. Dynamic. Always changing. Real time. That's exactly my problem with SBMM now. You're hardstuck in pred lobbies with nothing to do about it. There is NOTHING YOU CAN DO.
I think the fear of "preds" is getting a bit unhealthy. They can be killed by players far worse, they don't have extra shield or health and their bravery often makes them vulnerable. I've seen many die without kills and with low damage, picked up downed ones, had boring matches with them, killed a few surprisingly easy. Fear makes us panic or paralyses us, so we often end up losing the duels because we actually perform way below our skill.
