Why so sweaty... Rrrggghhh!

I agree completely. I never play ranked, but I've been driven into it because it's got the only map left in the game where you can see what's happening.

I don't know if provisional matches are supposed to be "no sbmm" but they sorta felt that way. Enemies everywhere. No dead spots on the map at all. Everyone shooting at all times, some of them actually shooting accurately. Way more accurately than I'm used to in pubs. But I thought, "no big deal, I'll land in Rookie IV and everything will get back to normal." Couldn't have been more wrong.

All of which just goes to reinforcing what I've always known, in this game and many others: ranked matchmaking is garbage. If you don't have a premade where all three of you are willing and able to pour yourselves into a diamond/master/predator meat grinder then just don't even queue up to begin with.
