Your not wrong. The only ones who benefit are the pro's and the cheaters. I been hearing some pros say, "oh but now anyone can kill faster" . They love the new update, because it just buffs a skill they already had. My point is, the better players, the cheaters and controller aim assisters all have yet another advantage over the casual player who doesn't spend hours and hours perfecting their aim....most likely because they have real jobs and cant spend every waking moment playing games and working on aim skill.
If your in a lobby with "average skill" players, then you actually have a chance of getting a kill or not being killed in a fraction of a second. You get any of the smurfs in there, and there are literally tons of them, then your just cannon fodder for their stats, which is gonna drive people away from the game. That's the truth. I doubt very much the devs even consider these factors.
It's unplayable for me at the moment. There's no time to react, like it wasn't great before, but at least you could take damage for a split second and make a move. Now, I'm left with 10 hp after I peek someone. I always have around 30 ping, and it feels like I'm getting punished for it.
I have pretty decent aim, but yeah, either people are on roller, practice A LOT, or just cheat. It's really impossible to keep up even if you are fairly sweaty yourself. My setup is all geared towards playing competitively in shooters, and it just feels like I can't do anything this season. Even if I'm doing alright, my teammates always seem to just get deleted instantly first.
I'm pretty frustrated with this, and looks like others are too. The numbers are really starting to drop today, and it's only been a week? I'll come back after they sort this out, but until then, I'm playing anything but this garbage of a season. It truly feels like they don't understand what their game is at this point. This is just wildly throwing things at the wall, seeing what sticks. There needs to be more thought put into the tuning of their sandbox.
Thanks for responding.
I agree with you, I'm not liking it all that much. So frustrating being melted in a fraction of a second. I watched a very popular streamer get so frustrated he told the stream he had to quit. You could tell he was about to literally lose his marbles. That's a pro pred player, and I've been watching many of them to get a good idea of what the general consensus on the changes are. Some say they like it...until they get absolutely melted, then they are in disbelief and the excuse train begins, but we all know...its all good when it works for you and you have a 3 stacked team just steam rolling everyone, but outside of that, being insta melted can change that tune very quickly. lol
My fav game, and I really don't enjoy playing it so much anymore. Too much waiting around, for some real crappy team mates, maybe a bit of loot if your lucky, followed by insta melt death because I don't have the reflexes and aim of a aircraft carrier Phalanx system lol. Not a fun experience anymore.
All these guys think they're so amazing until they actually solo queue lol. Its good to hear that even at the highest levels its frustrating.
I've come to the realization that the lower TTK really makes it harder to solo queue. My teammates are getting killed so quickly that I can't do anything. Also, 3rd parties are worse than ever right now. Teams are finishing fights so quickly that they just wander to the next. Every fight ends up having multiple teams it feels like. So that's a big fail if they were trying to lessen that.
