Lower TTK = Teammates die even faster now

I'm still trying to wrap my head around all of this season's changes. Ash. Weapon "buffs." Redemption. The conclusion I'm coming to, though I'm not completely there yet, is that these changes are not all that much worse than any of the other ill-considered changes they've made in the past. The reason they feel so much worse is because the last few seasons have brought a tidal wave of players on secondaries, many of whom may be actual cheaters, all of whom are trying to cheat the skill assessment, and the matchmaking is accordingly schizophrenic. For the first few weeks of the season (in pubs) I was routinely in lobbies where the grey area on the skill distribution curve fell way to left-of-center. Today, light switch flipped, the grey area in every match spans from just right-of-center all the way to the top. Meaning that there is at least one predator three stack in every lobby. But the funniest thing of all is that my performance, by any stat you care to measure, is very low and has remained constant throughout the season. My squadmates, who also should be substantial performers given our place on the curve, are the exact same "drop hot, die fast, quit before respawn" **bleep** clowns I was getting matched with when the grey area was all the way to the right. None of this makes a lick of sense. The only constant I can see is that the quality of enemies is relatively high regardless of what the skill distribution curve says. Hence the theory of rampant secondaries.

So many problems. And Respawn's response is an LTM where it's "okay" if a cheater kills you because you can just respawn right back into the same bad match so the same cheater can have a second crack at you. Who thought this was a good idea, and why do players seem to love it instead of being insulted by it as they ought to be???
