@ButterMyBiscuit lol Bruh... would you have happened to have been on South Carolina? Or was it while I still was on Frankfurt maybe, nevermind. I literally had that Wraith as champ yesterday. I think I might have had the Conduit too, the skin and pose looks familiar, but don't remember the name. I had match after match, with obvious 3-stacking teams on South Carolina, with absolutely unrealistic banners, as champs. Even had one with a 575 pred badge, again obvious 3-stacking.
Almost every game. In the end I was enough is enough, went on Virginia... and never saw an unrealistic champ screen again.

I think St Louis servers. I should say that I was still getting these squads no filling too. The last no fill team that won is in the screenshot. Wish I documented all apreds I ran into. I uninstalled so that's it for me. Good luck to the rest of you, I hope the game gets better for your mental health. Remember, if a game is not enjoyable then don't play it. Don't get sucked in to the sunk cost fallacy. It's not worth it.

@ButterMyBiscuit While it stinks the game wasn't fun for you I completely agree, if a game is not fun stop playing. Video game time is a hobby and hobbies should leave you happy.

  It's all good. Just more evidence that they use EOMM or equivalent model for matchmaking. That's the only rational explanation for why I still got those lobbies. If I'm wrong then the devs just suck at their jobs. Not sure which is a better excuse.

    I have no real idea why people still play this game. People are legit addicted like a hard drug, but it's not clear even why anymore. Numbers were dropping hard, but now you get all these muppets saying BEST SEASON EVER GUYS. It's just the drugs talking. For every ten minutes I have fun in this game, I count 1-2 hours of just running around looting mindlessly and watching teammates make the most stupid decisions ever.
    Every major change they have made has made it impossible to solo player. Having ropes for everyone just made the game way too easy for stacks to decimate the entire server. Valk was a mistake, and they doubled down on it and made everyone Valk. Just ridiculous. That along with ring changes and the overall matchmaking is just unbearable. I play events and nothing more. This game is legit just a very poor, laggy shooter at this point.
    The lag in this game is LOL at this point. The servers are worse than a true comp game from ten years ago.
