Pubs: 214 losses, 0 wins

@Axs5626Sxa5001 My first day and a half i had some of the best games ever til i got to 1.95 kdr after that till now i has been a horror show. My kdr right now is 1.35 and every single game i feel that im in a lobby with mostly premades, they are all coordinated and players down you in half a second.

@Axs5626Sxa5001 I haven't played pubs yet this season but last season i was reminded why I don't really play pubs. Quitters. But I noticed how tougher it was to play pubs. Might as well just play ranked I thought.

I might play a few games of Duos this season but I'm no touching trios unless it's with friends.

I’m pretty disappointed in your response. Even still, I mean no disrespect.

I have and will continue to share my experience and matchmaking findings here on the forum. Maybe you’re unaware, but I have shared multiple experiments—across multiple account types, here on the forum.

When I play at full capacity, I occupy the top bucket of players (in pubs). Let me make this clear:

If a matchmaking system does not allow for downward mobility (losing matches grants easier lobbies), you end up locking players at the bottom of a bucket into a “fixed situation” where the rest of the people in said bucket beat them consistently.

Stay with me….

I have hit Masters every split except 3-4. I have solo queue twice to Masters. I am not great (Pred level), but I am certainly above average. The issue is: matchmaking drops me in the top bucket and I’m exclusively playing Preds and better Masters. So I (and plenty of other players) are locked into a situation where we lose more BECAUSE we are above average.

I don’t want to bully weaker players consistently, LMAO. That would be so lame. But I also don’t want outcomes that are similar to (and in some instances worse than) people who are less proficient than me. I think this is a TOTAL SANE AND FAIR expectation. Your outcomes should be in direct correspondence to your skill level (as it deviates from the average/median skill).

@Axs5626Sxa5001 Perfectly sane and fair expectation, nothing wrong with it.

Just a question, do you spend money on the game regularly and if not, have you ever considered dropping some cash to see if it influences your testing / results? Very curious here. It seems you are in a perfect situation to verify this if you really wanted to.

@Twizted3k_tv

You ever work overtime and get a check that’s actually less than people who worked less (due to taxes). That’s the feeling of matchmaking right now for above average players, lol.

@blackeyeriver I have spent a lot on this game, lol.

@blackeyeriver some people including me expect this being a fact. compared my games with the games of my friend, who spend 10 times more money on the game. and he got far better lobbies in solo q, despite spending the same amount of time and being roughly the same skill. he also got more win points (100 for him 12 for me ...) and less "penalty" for a loss (24 for him 96 for me) when playing together ranked arenas.

@r1ggedgame Thats the old system, we're talking about the new system. Respawn has a patent on the idea of making lobbies easier for bigger spenders, iirc, but this Season it does not apply.
