This is how my ranked matches usually start and end

Selection screen

First player selects wraith (I generally play wraith) ok,I'll go for Bloodhound, I like him from time to time...Player 2 selects Bloodhound...less ok, but whatever.

I let the game pick, because really, I do not like any other characters.....

The game provides me with Lifeline... whatever...

I am not jump master, player one, wraith is.... He pings the big parking lot on World's Edge, I ping a nearby area where it seemed less players were landing. No... I ask by mic if he has seen how many teams were dropping there....

No Answer, maybe he had no mic? Or muted everyone? Who knows it, no answer.....

So we drop, and land on the parking lot along with 2 other teams I decide to stick with the team to be of any help, hopefully we could help each other....
I cannot find a gun immediately.... I move up and down could floors and find an re45, and an r99.

I can cope with the re45 as a secondary, but I thoroughly dislike the r99.  Anyways,m in this moment everything is just a minor detail, what matters is trying to get away, or get better loot before the enemy engages.

Wraith, instead begs to differ. Launches at the first of the 2 teams, and gets erased with a 79dmg. I get engaged by the other team, take some damage, and manage to drop one, but I need to heal. I have no shields, I use my Q to heal....
Wraith, who now found a mic, cusses at me because I was not there to resurrect him, Shouts something I could not understand because by how loud he screams, the mic cannot capture it... so he sounds like an interference at best.

The second player, thinks wraith did the right thing, and manages to emulate wraiths tactics... launches at the enemy with no plan, no backup and gets deleted with a grand total of 70 damage... I guess he didn't surpass his teacher.... and also he gets thirsted.

Wraith meanwhile is somewhere in the parking lot licking the floor and cussing in what I would guess was English... but It could have been Spanish, or German for what I know, because again, he's yelling and it only sounds like an electrical discharge....

I am in the meantime trying to see if I can secure a kill, when a team mate of the one i downed comes at the rescue, and after a little back and forth i manage to knock him too.... but the third player of that team comes and hits me fatally.

All in all a long match, around 2 minutes including drop.

  • I haven't touched ranked since season 5.  Don't care for it at all.  I don't have regular squad mates and randoms are so... well.... random.

    I also hate the leaving penalty.  The number of times I've played where the other 2 (obviously communicating) drop somewhere different to me or do something stupid or I'm in a situation where I have zero cahance of revival *I* get punished for leaving early.  No thanks.

  • @Vdstrk Yeah random matchmaking is s.h.i.t like i have better randoms in pubs than in ranked im a plat player and i cant even go from gold 4 to gold 3 because my randoms play like they are new to the game.
  • IF you play with premade your lobby is predator, if you play with randoms you usually get paired with guys under lvl 100 so.. 🤣

    often level 10-ish.... and below level 100 (at least in bronze and silver) which is either a smurf (if you get lucky), a cheater which you can only report but cannot leave the game without penalty, or in the vast majority of the instances a very brand new player (and I mean this with the best of intentions as most try to be useful)!
