Rank with friends

Me (gold 2) and my buddies (One gold 3 and other gold 4) always played rank together. But recently lobbies got significantly tighter whenever we plays together. We play couple hours every week.

Today we played 5 games. 
1. In first match we got 2 gold squads, 3 diamond and rest all is plat. 
2. One gold (us) and all diamond.

3. One silver, 2 gold, all diamond. 

4. Then 2 plats, and rest all is gold. 
5. Something similar to first one. 

non of us are diamond or plat. I really don’t understand why we have to play games like this. It looks like we getting punished for having friends. 

It looks like it is my fault that I have friends. I don’t like playing pubs. That mode is completely off. Rank is the only place we could enjoy the game play while having fun. 

but now it’s not fun at all. I really don’t understand what I’m supposed to do here. Now suddenly for me to push rank I have to solo. I don’t want change my friends play style just because I want to push my ranks. This doesn't make any sense at all. 

I thought call of duty had bad SBMM. This thing is out of the world. 

does anyone know, if this is temporary or not? Because if it is not, I might have to find new game I guess. At this rate I would rather work than playing this game. At least you gonna get something.

  • Yes indeed, they did something to 3stacking matchmaking.

    Same is clearly visible in Diamond lobbies - when I duo-stack, I rarely get into Master/Pred lobbies, like maybe once per daily grind.

    When I tri-stack I get Master/Preds almost always as my first game and then on quite regular basis, plus Diamond dominant lobbies are still way hard - for me mostly just filled with more cheaters even if they are plat2. Given latter I can't say I enjoy tri-stacking these day nor can I say how good / bad matchmaking is because matching me vs hackers no matter the rank yield same result 9 out of 10 time = us being demolished by software.

    Respawn did it again :) #howhardcanitbe
