One thing I forgot to mention, when it comes to online fps games a lot of it just depends on who's 1st.
1st to shoot, first to re-load, 1st to see the other person pop up on your screen - which is why ping is so important.
This may go hand in hand with what's happening here; players with the best ping would simply be better on average. Combine that with an already good player and you can build up some crazy stats, sure. But these ridiculously high win rates simply don't add up - if you're that good you might as well go do it professionally and actually get paid a lot of money doing it, but we're not seeing that. I mean, some of the best streamers and pro players don't have stats like these, because their lobbies are insanely hard, yet here we see it in a random pubs lobby? lol
It had SBMM but not like this of course so it was all across the board, just like now but I found that I got placed in the lower brackets rather often and thats why I hated winning and went for killing instead to get the fun back... Also why I got an average of 5 requests a day for xbox friends XD.
But yea now it’s basically the same... The top players get put with lower. When playing premades I get put with Masters & Diamonds with 4K and 20 bombers... when playing alone, everything from plats to masters (which is just fine) but looking at movements I know they’re not the average players XD.
Thats the best I can offer actually... If you look at a thread that was all about fastest times, you can see matches close to 7 mins... while my fastest was 7 as well xD.
Lastly you can always do stuff to your connection to get an advantage...

Yep, and that's also why I previously said that some players are being showed favoritism. Some get easy lobbies while others get put into lobbies they stand no chance of competing in quite a lot. I see this all the time when watching certain streamers and when I bring it up everyone says they're so good that they make the rest of the lobby look like bots. BS! No competent player is going to look like a bot even while losing, they will still make it hard for you to get the upper hand on them, unlike what I'm seeing. It's just not how reality works. Same with the 0 recoil thing everyone is seeing every day but no one talks about. But yeah...separate issue that.
I think you might be one of the exceptions though, and I'm sure there are others like you but I'm also sure a lot of players are simply cheating / exploiting the game to get those numbers.
