@StelioRokos Ok, I hear you.
Quick question:
-Should pubs be a place where everyone always plays their equal?
Quick question:
-Should pubs be a place where everyone always plays their equal?
@Axs5626Sxa5001 No, but pubs shouldn't be a place where lesser skilled players get destroyed (not just beaten but run over like they are nothing) by better players or cheaters almost all the time. That is what is happening now. I'm one of the lesser skilled players, so why shouldn't I be able to enjoy the game? In my last 30 matches or so, I think I've gotten maybe 15 kills. Everyone I run into instantly kills me in milliseconds. I'm not running around in the open either and I can hit some of my shots, but none of that ever matters. That level of 'success' is not enough to keep me playing. All the preds/cheaters can have that crap and enjoy the sweaty matches they get. I, for one, hate being the one that is pub stomped repeatedly.
- @HappyHourSumwur How would you feel if public matchmaking was like this:
Average players have average performances (wins and kills)
Above average players have above average performances (wins and kills)
Below average players have below average performances (wins and kills)- @Axs5626Sxa5001 I would like to feel like my enemies are at least somewhat closer to my ability. Right now, I get obliterated repeatedly and honestly don't know what else to do. I try to use cover, heal/charge in fights, be smart about what fights to take, etc.
Good players should play other good players, bad players should play other bad players. That is NOT happening right now...at all.@HappyHourSumwur
Really?
I’ve already shared I’m a Masters player.
I’ve played everything day since S12 launched. I’m averaging about 10-15 games a day. I’ve won two games. I’m literally only playing against Diamond and up players. The majority of the lobby is high Diamond/low Masters. And yes there are several teams with Pred trails. It’s a funny situation because we are BOTH getting obliterated each match.
Your suggestion is that these lobbies don’t exist.
So what lobbies am I dropping in if there aren’t high ELO lobbies like you say? Maybe there is a complex conspiracy against me and I’m playing against highly competent fake bots with superior aim? Maybe these lobbies are a figment of my imagination?
Obviously this isn’t the case. High ELO lobbies exist. I’m sorry that high ELO players occasionally make it into your lobby and ruin your experience, but your suggestion that good players aren’t playing good players is not true.
The matchmaking is not perfect, but whether you realize it or not, you are indeed being protected from the bulk of the top 3% of players— because you literally are not in the lobbies I’m dropping into. I’m not running through anyone.
