- I’m not sure about this season but I know it was overall wins
Well, in the first game I had after getting out of beginner lobbies with the secondary account, I got scraped by a Bangalore with over 11K kills and over 1.2K wins for Season 7, which still had 4 more weeks. That player was certainly in a premade and the teammates were rocking something like 5 and 7K kills for S7. Of course, all 3 had predator, 4K and 20 bomb badges displayed.
- @hayhor No way 4K in one season...
highest I’ve seen was 1.7 with 3 more weeks I think in a prev season. - @Koochi-Q I understand that but the thread title is for 1 season. so I wanted to make sure.
- @hayhor I know, I know xD.
@Sand_spitter well... playing 14+ hours a day is a good way to do that. I’ve been in such lobbies... believe me when I say that 15+ is for ‘normal length games’ and for most it’s 19-24 min. But these guys are pounding 8-13 min matches. How do I know? I was there once.
Heck when ppl first started talking about match length and I saw the average was around 18 mins I was shocked cause non of my matches up till that point were longer than 15 xD. Now that’s a whole other story... (this was preseason to season 2).
When I was playing around 10-15 hours a day then I would averagely win 1 in every 5 games. My record in 1 day was 7 or 8 wins. I still wasnt on their skill lvl tho. So seeing them do 10+ isn’t that off or odd for me. But you’re right tho... 1K+ is definitely fishy... - @Koochi-Q Yep this is true on the match length. Really good players teaming in pubs can have 12 minute matches. I've seen it plenty of times.
- @Koochi-Q Yeah sure, I see where you're coming from. But wouldn't they be matched with players just as good? If that's the case I don't see how they can consistently keep such a high win rate. SBMM would make sure of that.
Now, if you, hayhor, and myself know of such players and we've all played in their lobbies what does that mean? Are they playing in our lobbies or are we ending up in their's? I can only speak for myself here, but I'm nowhere near good enough to compete at that level, probably never will be. I believe there is an exploit where pre-made squads can end up in lobbies that are solo q and/or mostly lower skilled. And I think that's very likely what's happening here. SBMM is being bypassed by pre-mades and those squads just rip through the lobby in no time. There's a ton of these vids on YouTube for a reason, and if you find yourself in the right circle of friends they'll happily let you in on their little secret. One thing I forgot to mention, when it comes to online fps games a lot of it just depends on who's 1st.
1st to shoot, first to re-load, 1st to see the other person pop up on your screen - which is why ping is so important.
This may go hand in hand with what's happening here; players with the best ping would simply be better on average. Combine that with an already good player and you can build up some crazy stats, sure. But these ridiculously high win rates simply don't add up - if you're that good you might as well go do it professionally and actually get paid a lot of money doing it, but we're not seeing that. I mean, some of the best streamers and pro players don't have stats like these, because their lobbies are insanely hard, yet here we see it in a random pubs lobby? lol
- @Sand_spitter Definitely true but I’ll let you in on a secret on how to get as pub stompers to get into lower skilled lobbies; ‘Respawn’s take on SBMM randomness’ XD. Seriously, I haven’t played well since S2 if I’m honest. If you saw how I played then vs now you’d be shocked XD. Factors are that I learn faster than most. Either in games, education, learning new skillz etc. So right out the gate I kept having high kill games & frequent wins but I also played 12h a day on average in first week and roughly 10 hours a day for first month XD so my skillz were sharper than my farts XD.
It had SBMM but not like this of course so it was all across the board, just like now but I found that I got placed in the lower brackets rather often and thats why I hated winning and went for killing instead to get the fun back... Also why I got an average of 5 requests a day for xbox friends XD.
But yea now it’s basically the same... The top players get put with lower. When playing premades I get put with Masters & Diamonds with 4K and 20 bombers... when playing alone, everything from plats to masters (which is just fine) but looking at movements I know they’re not the average players XD.
Thats the best I can offer actually... If you look at a thread that was all about fastest times, you can see matches close to 7 mins... while my fastest was 7 as well xD.
Lastly you can always do stuff to your connection to get an advantage... Yep, and that's also why I previously said that some players are being showed favoritism. Some get easy lobbies while others get put into lobbies they stand no chance of competing in quite a lot. I see this all the time when watching certain streamers and when I bring it up everyone says they're so good that they make the rest of the lobby look like bots. BS! No competent player is going to look like a bot even while losing, they will still make it hard for you to get the upper hand on them, unlike what I'm seeing. It's just not how reality works. Same with the 0 recoil thing everyone is seeing every day but no one talks about. But yeah...separate issue that.
I think you might be one of the exceptions though, and I'm sure there are others like you but I'm also sure a lot of players are simply cheating / exploiting the game to get those numbers.
