I didn't even think that the ring system is harder. I don't even think that it's baffling or busted. I think that there's just so many people cheating and that there are so many people that have been just getting away with like running around like not even remotely being required to like actually play the game the way the game has always meant to be played. I actually do think that the matchmaking is probably the most balanced. It's ever been if you're three stacking with players that are high tier players like I've been D4 and then I stopped playing once I hit diamond 4. From season 25 all the way to season 30. I didn't play in season 29 because of how bad cheating was. I didn't play in season 28 because of how bad shooting was. I played season 27 and I played season 26. I think cheating has been bad across all of those seasons. I have never seen cheating to be as bad as it is in season 31 and that's saying something because in season 28 cheating was really really bad to the point where I didn't play an entire season. I got off the game for 5 months because of how bad cheating was. Both me and my other friend both stopped playing the game because of how bad cheating was two of the most chronically no matter how bad cheating gets online players that always hit diamond got off the game because of how bad cheating was and because we did not want to start using hardware ourselves, we we consecutively decided that if they came down to it we would rather stop playing the game entirely then to start using hardware ourselves.
Now my friend doesn't even play the game anymore. He even switched to PC and he still doesn't play the game anymore because of how bad chaining is. I work as well. Last season in season 30. I played the last two weeks of the season and I only played 12 days. I made diamond in 7 days. I do think that the ring system was too easy before.
I also don't think that there should be skill-based matchmaking and ranked because good players will fight good players. Eventually they will fight players that are of their skill level eventually. But in previous seasons you just had a bunch of garbage players fighting a bunch of garbage players. Now you have a bunch of brain dead decent players, majority of which are just using hardware that don't know how to rotate. Don't know how to play. Don't know how to take fights. Don't know how to play cover like stretch into the open. Don't know how to do any kind of movement walking around like robots but yet somehow hitting like 120 from like 170 m away.
I've played this game since the game's been out. I've spent hard time and hard work learning the mechanics mastering the game.
I've never been beamed this instantly in my entire life, and then on top of that it's even easier to spot who's cheating and who's not after they decided that they were going to instead of actually targeting our sea filters and making it to where jitter scripts don't work and targeting hardware specifically and banning players who use hardware, they decided that they were going to make it to where micro adjustments no longer activate rotational aim assist. So when you're doing things like tracking flicking and switching or when you're controlling recoil patterns you don't get rotational aim assist. So you have to be 10 times more consistent and do 10 times more work than cheaters again because instead of actually banning cheaters and instead of actually detecting these devices they would rather change and tweak the mechanic that has been in the game for the entire time that this game has been out because there are people abusing it using jitter scripts and RC filters. Keep in mind the pro players were also using RC filters. How imperial hal didn't have his entire career ruined after he was proven to have been using an RC filter so that there could be artificial automatic jitter every time he shoots his gun. Basically, the game is somewhat playing in playing the game and tracking for him how he didn't have his entire career ruined because of that is beyond me
I do think that it's good that the rank system is harder because it forces players to play smarter but instead of players playing smarter because cheating is so bad instead of actually deciding to change how they play and actually get better and learn how to play better. They decided that they were going to 12-man nine man and six man. So if you're having trouble in Gold, you're probably having the same issue that I'm having is that there are a bunch of nine mans and 12 mans running rampant and ranked right now.
I can't tell you how many times many many games in a row where I've had four teams or even three different teams sit side by side in each other's line of sights and only shooting players that are not a part of those three teams. I've I've literally seen three teams shoot and kill a team together in ranked on console and they're being subtle. They'll start shooting at each other and then they'll let each other Rez a third party will push in. They'll fight that team together. They'll shoot at each other. They'll let each other Rez and they'll do this for 10 minutes until they both get a bunch of kills from a bunch of third parties that just so happened to decide to third party and then if you actually end up killing one of them, the other team just full sends you or you got like a whole third team that was just sitting right next to the other team the entire time that pushes in and lets the other team heal unless the other team get away or you kill one. The other team backs up another team pushes in you kill one of their team. The other team pushes back in. They push out. They Rez you try to get away and then next thing you know you're getting shot by both of those teams. And now you're getting shot by a whole nother team. That's just so happened to be walking by and then they don't shoot each other. They all go their separate ways. In some cases I'm like okay. Well clearly nobody knows how to rotate but it's happening Way too often and way too consistently.
