Re: Skill based matchmaking makes badges unobtainable

Best i've been able to do is 15 as well.  In the kind of lobbies i play in it's very hard to wipe a squad alone.  Helping eachother comes with it's own prices such as your teammates getting kills in self defense.  Even an enemy with a broken shield can easily take down 2 or 3 people.  I've wiped squads without having my shield broken.  It used to work like that yeah in season 1 but doesnt work like that anymore.  At least at this level.  Its not realistic.  Honestly it's not realistic to let one person try and take every gunfight when squads are coordinating and calling out and teamshotting

Wait for tanked season reset.  If you are not pred you reset to gold. Wait couple weeks and the lobby's should be easy enough.  Got two 20 bombs after last reset. If you pred already it might be harder to get a 20b on plat lobby's.  You can still get 4k damage and 10 kills team work which are harder to get and highly respected.  4k should be easy specially in high skill lobby's.  Charge rifle and scout early to mid game. R99 wingman mid to late game. Back to charge rifle r99 late late game.  Did the work for me. We are prob playing in the same lobby's.  

I don't know about waiting for the reset man. The SBMM algorithm is so bs it still exists even in ranked. I switched back to xbox after playing ps4 for like 6 months so i was in a bronze lobby. I got like a 14 and 12 game kill within 3 games and then I was playing against players with 20 kill and 4k badges in my bronze lobby lmao. It was still sweat. Overall it is easier because the number of players with that level of skill in low lobbies dwindle but they will still try and match up all the high skill players in low level ranked. I know it is true because my girlfriend plays this game almost every day but her skill level is significantly worse than mine. She quit playing with me because the lobbies were way out of her level. Playing by herself without teaming up she consistently every season makes it to the platinum levels with a k/d of around 0.7. I watch her lobbies in ranked in gold and early platinum and it shocks me at how poor so many of the players are. My bronze lobbies are (dead serious) harder than her gold and platinum lobbies. It is crazy. In her lobbies they loot for ever, wander around without purpose, miss easy shots and don't rush gunfire half as often. No matter what tier I play in there is always teams pushing. It is like all the skill players that don't really play ranked have the same idea to wait until they are in gold and under lobbies and then drop hot trying for badges. The problem is that there a bunch of other players in that lobby with above average to high skill trying to do the same exact thing lmao.
