@ArchAngeL-PCX I feel like 90% of this game is just an inane RNG hurdle you have to get over before you can really showcase if you're good or not. From hip-fire, to loot on drop, to loot overall, to how many braincells your teammates have, it's just too many variables.
@Koochi-Q I've rethought my decision to actually play S7. I'm going to find something else to play again. Tipping point? This guy was clambering up a wall not 4 meters away from me, no armor, nothing. I've got a stock R301 with 20 bullets on a hot-drop. I'm not moving, and the guy climbing is going in a straight line. 2 hits of 18 rounds fired. While he scrambles for cover, his buddies come up, one with purple armor and a Devotion, the other with white and a Prowler wipe the floor with me. My teammates were AFK on drop and still have no loot. I started playing again on Monday, it's now Tuesday, I went from 996 to 1008 hours played, and I'm good.

@DarthValtrex On the contrary, they HAD braincells, they just didn't have the aim to back it up. Not having good aim is a passable offense, not everyone has the time to improve, but I at the very least need people to follow me into fights if for nothing more than soaking up damage. It's a team game (lol) after all. But today, I could barely find anyone who could either keep up or follow up when I engaged fights and it was just a miserable slog.
@hayhor I know! I feel stupid. I already uninstalled, but I was trying so desperately to get a satisfying match, not even a win, just a satisfying match. 3 games today, I was so close to a satisfying match, but audio lost me one of those games, my teammates getting overly confident despite not doing anything (they were getting carried which made them confident and forgot that stupid decisions throw games) lost me another, and the last one I wasn't going to win, but 2 no regs on a downed target prevented me from securing my last kill before I died and it's just so disheartening. I was kill leader and everything! 9 kills (would've been 10) multiple clutch 1v2 / 1v3 fights, 2 situations where 3+ squads are all shooting at each other and my squad comes out on top, and THAT'S how my game ends. It was hectic, it was exciting, it was going to be the best match of my entire 12 hour stint without even being a win and then BAM! No regs. What a joke.
- DarthValtrex5 years agoHero (Retired)@pastaclown I just slow my game play down when teammates struggle to keep up. I know it's a little boring, but I would rather be with my team and die as a team than die trying to 1vs3 a squad.
I try to stay close enough to my squad that if they ping enemy I can be there before the shooting starts. - hayhor5 years agoHero@pastaclown Well good luck. I cant play more than a few hours in a row and I love the game. If you ever reinstall feel free to add me. I can try keeping up and being the fat gas man bait.
- 5 years ago@pastaclown Awwww ☹️ too bad. I told you to not play until couple days after new season dropped. Tonight I was only going to play till I got BP lvl 100 but ended up playing with @GH0STEDbyME for 2 hours...
I was already not in a gaming mood but my gosh my ‘skill’ was lacking severely (because of it), but also because of the randomness that ensued...
Mastiff from 3m on a basically motionless Wraith doing 16 dmg at chest, finding no weapons multiple times on drop... Lag Spikes... Bullets missing...
Then you switch over to firing range and suddenly (because it’s still online but faster connection) everything you mean to hit either hits or you see that you were off... Mastiff hits stuff from over 20m 16-40 dmg >.> (I’m talking ppl, not the dummies) and everything is smooth as a baby’s bottom...
Yea... thats why I ‘hardly’ played this season in comparison to previous ones. Well 5 was also a massive dip.
If @hayhor likes my skill, when you get back (wait... weren’t you pc?!), cause you know you will be XD, we can squad up and I can definitely keep up. You might have to keep up with my rambo actions xD.

or the devs can fix the game plus matchmaking instead of joking about it and blaming players for bad internet lol
