Soooo...How's the new season?

@ExpertEpic99

Played 42 games. 0 wins. 0 top 5’s.

I’m also exclusively playing Masters and Preds, so this is exactly how it should be right?

Above average players deserve to lose more than below average players, right? Because this financially supports the publisher? Right?

Got to level 502, no free loot box or general level up tokens, noobs coming in force so my teams are usually down 1 or 2 and it's back to lobby so not really encouraged to play. Feel like Vantage player base will kinda plummet after a week a bit more than the usual for new legends "Not like Maggie bad, imo she has higher skill cap and since Crypto is one of my go too's, she is someone I could probably do well with in the future after some practice."

Now that I think about the Icon didn't look like a pack, but maybe it was still glitched visually like the store was ? If not, anyone pay attention to what it was ?

Season 14 Day 1 so far in my honest opinion is okay same old same old issues though with mediocre servers & the occasional lag spikes when exchanging gunfire with the enemy.Pleased to see the Volt & particularly the G7 Scout (with the Double Tap  hop-up especially) back on the ground but I am also pleased to see Skull Piercer back (attach it to the 30/30 & it becomes a beast of a weapon) .Loot pool layout around Kings Canyon map is as bad as usual where in 1 match I was in the Skull Town knock-off area & could only find shotguns.But every player I seem to to have knocked in the half dozen matches I've played so far particularly early in the match mostly seem to be equipped with a purple knock-down shield, I mean WTF?,is this some sort of cheat in the game or something?.I got a victory with Vantage on my 2nd game playing as her with 3 kills along the way & I feel she's a mid-tier character tbh.Her Echo Launch maxes around at only 55 metres which is a little too short (in my opinion) is just an inferior version of Pathfinders Grapple Hook & her Sniper's Mark Ultimate makes for a nice 3rd weapon but all of those 5 bullets if Sniping ain't you sort of thing those 5 bullets just wont go that far.Vantage's best ability seems to be her passive Spotters Lense which effectively encloses a square target around your enemy providing you have a 2X scope or better on your weapon of choice.Spotter's Lense doesn't work with Iron Sights or 1x scopes or Digital Scopes though.I'm totally miffed by switching the ammo for the Spitfire & Wingman though & looking through the Battle Pass content certainly looks underwhelming particularly the skins & as far as Battle Passes in previous seasons go it is among the worst.

And for the 64 thousand dollar question what will the Non-BR events be I wonder?.

Same issues with matchmaking as always.  Random teammates much worse than you &/or opponents much better.

Light ammo meta w/r301, G7, Spitfire, CAR, R99 in ground loot.

Ground weapons in general are great but at the expense of other items.  Shared crafter helps to get blue shields early if you land in the right spot though.  That's a sneaky good change.

New legend on every team as usual.  She seems OK, but I haven't played her yet.

I really like the changes to Kings Canyon. It is much brighter.  Haven't learned the new POI, Relic, but it looks decent so far.

Can't imagine anyone crafting a Devo or RE-45 w/ Hammerpoints so that's just a time out for those weapons.

New skins seem decent.  I got the Horizon one and I like it.

Laser sights don't help with aiming, they just reduce hip fire spread as stated in the patch notes.

I REALLY wish they'd take a season to fix long running bugs, add all the QOL stuff people want, and NOT release a new legend or a bunch of cosmetics.  Hoping S15 with the new map will be it.  Not holding my breath though.

Played for 4 hours in Ranked, lost nearly 300 RP, In those 4 hours I had one teammate get a kill. Feels like I am trying to 1v3 every squad even when my squad is alive.  Not a crazy high ranked but getting paired with people the rank below me but playing against teams the Rank above me, not sure how the hell that makes sense.

Just feels the same as always, matchmaking is complete crap never paired with anyone with any sense of a brain.  I kid you not people not using their abilities, having to say pop your smoke or use this is just ridiculous.  IDK if it is the first day sweats or what but I am not feeling the fun in the game anymore. 

Well, I tried. How can it just get worse all the time? There were 4 squads left when ring 1 closed! There still are no 2x scopes anywhere to be seen. Btw took me 4 minutes to even get a 1x. 🤔

OMG. It's in the trash crafter mechanic. Why?
