Ranked

Greetings.

I've been trying to get into ranked again.  I'm mid gold., nothing special and I am just so put off.  Session today I lost 300 RP.  Every sinigle game was -35 to -38 RP.  And Zero kills.  Nothing.

Just frustrated.  Mixed ability you get matched with.  But it's not just the RP loss.  It's the verbal abuse.  Team mate goes in and does something stupid solo, *I* get tons of verbal abuse as I'm supposed to magically know what they are doing; no ping, no communication, nothing.  Just abuse when they get mowed down by a squad of three solo.  But it's my fault.  I'm just so sick of it.

I am just done with this.  It's stressful, it's not ful losing 300 RP in a session due to this.  I just don't see the joy or fun in this at all.  It's an awful experience.

Unless you have a regular group of mates to play with or just land on your own and your are comfortable just sayin **  to everyone else I just don't see how anyone bothers solo.  What a miserable experience.

  • I wish they would use MMR(not Hidden) and at least try to match players based on that and not just their rank. Pubs is honesty more sweaty than ranked because of the fact that they use a strict MMR based matchmaking system. Yet ranked has the biggest skill disparity which is nuts. Preds get to roll normal dudes just playing the game. Its like having LeBron, KD, and Steph just pull up on you and the boys playing pick-up. How is that fair?

  • Please put the mute on for your own sake, esp if you feel like this. I am always muted, not going to let the toxic ones in to distract me and I have a hearing issue anyway (less audio is more!). Its sad that the toxic ones spoil the barrel.

    Ping is fine up to D4. No reason for you not to learn to play like this.

    Go solo and drop solo, if you dont like where hot drop Henry and mate are going, and then respawn them.

    I had over 200 respawns getting to D4, but generally my squaddies picked up on the idea after the respawn. So many hot drop Henrys, dying to lose hard got rp.

    Only 2 did the childish running around shooting into the air to sabotage the game after I respawned them, trying to show their pretty princess displeasure at me not joining them on their chosen hot drop. 

    One of those games, I ducked into drone when they were shot at, and dispatched very quickly by another squad, but they didn't find me. I got to 2nd despite the princess, but interesting to note they stayed around for their points! 🤣

    I only encountered the poi drop and Diamonds midway through Plat 1 on euro server.

    No toxicity let in and loads of fun.
