You all knew i would reply when someone like @ErectRainbow starts talking drivel saying things like ''you pathetic bots'' ''You're all trash'' and ''I became one of the best players to ever touch this game''. Let the facts and dose of reality begin! 👿
Firstly, you're nowhere near the best player in the game. Not even close. The very best players in the game play ranked and only play pubs to warm up or generally wind down or chilling out and you currently play pubs exclusively solo. Also why you probably struggle finding regular team mates on your level.
Just a quick look on your profile HappyKitten2251 (I assume yours as the first post on this forum states so) you're currently bronze 4, have 20,000 kills in season 5 but only 300 wins for that same season (really and i mean really, really bad for that amount of kills) you have less headshots than kills and btw most good players will at least break even on headshot/kill ratio irrespective of loadout but you, on average, use an easy one having half your kills by ARs approximately 25,500 but you struggle to get 1 headshot per kill with all those rounds? Ouch.
''People tell me lets switch it to ranked predator lobbies are easier than this. Predator lobbies? Easier than casual?''
No, they're not. I have played in both predator and sweaty SBMM and can tell you ranked matches are on average harder. Not always the case and more risky plays in pubs at times but the general pressure you feel from D3+ with every full squad sending it is consistently much harder. Kills are precious and they hunt you like wolves. A solo player will struggle against the best players in the game who're coordinating which is something, by your own admission, severely lack.
So before running your mouth online being toxic and full of himself saying things like ''I became one of the best players to ever touch this game'' condescending or belittling others and calling them names, maybe be a bit more humble knowing the fact you still have a lot to improve yourself with teamwork in a teamplay game, amongst many other things.
@apostolateofDOOM
I agree with you on your criticisms of this guy.
But I must say that I only slightly find ranked pred harder than my current pubs— the fact that they are even REMOTELY close is ridiculous though.
This guy is TOTALLY wrong for how he is treating people— but (I hate to say this) he is kinda right; practicing to get better, only to lose just as much as you did before is really discouraging. There are definitely outliers who win and perform WELL above average, but the majority of even high skill players are demonstrating performance ratios similar to lower skilled players. I posted an entire thread about SBMM seeks equal outcomes but the mods removed it.
Equal outcomes in competitive activities— because it makes companies more money, is wrong.

@Axs5626Sxa5001It can be as bad but that's why i put on average.
I did offer to repost that SBMM thread for you as i agree with the points you made and think it needs discussing especially with the current ways many are using to bypass the protections for new players and the reason i created this thread.
https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/Let-s-bash-the-new-guy/m-p/9471200A healthy balance can and should be found otherwise we'll just have skilled players forced into mentally draining matches constantly being punished for improving or many more creating smurfs single handedly destroying half of new player lobbies and neither of which promotes an enjoyable experience.
In this guys case though, it wasn't what he said but how he said it. - 5 years ago@apostolateofDOOM Absolutely. Being a * is never defendable.
