@pyrociterwatz I feel you. I have played exactly 3 ranked games since I started playing on launch day. I now exclusively get Masters/Preds/Diamonds in my pubs. I'm a not awful player at the best of times, I can go entire map rotations without getting one singular kill.
I don't know how many times I need to die with less than a hundred damage before I get a game with somebody near my skill level, but all it seems to take is one halfway decent game and I'm back to triple Preds three-stacking...
I'm not asking for bots, I'm not looking for a 4k or 20 kills, I just want to not die in 2.5 frames to the very first person I meet who double taps me in the head with a wingman from 140m away before I can even see them. I want to feel like there's a chance I could have killed them if I'd just played better. Right now it's at the point where I'm genuinely considering just dropping myself out of the map a few hundred times to attempt to lower my matchmaking somehow so I can fire a bullet before I get instantly killed from who knows where.
