Been having a rough few games lately. I am at the point where it is not fun to play anymore because every match is wildly unbalanced and frustrating regardless of game mode.
.40
.38
.75
1.3
1.5
.67
and so on. For the last 2-3 weeks I get very few matches where I can do much of anything other than spawn, walk a step, and die. My KD was 1.5 in January, now it’s at 1.03 and dropping. When I do get the odd game where I rack up a bunch of kills, I have 3 teammates who are out of their depth and we still lose.
It feels as if the player base is so diminished that it is only the hard core players that are still around.
Has anyone else been having runs of really poor games lately or am I just in some weird MMR limbo?
Yeah this games isn’t fun to play anymore. Skilled based matchmaking sucks all the casual fun away. Tbh not like there was a lot of fun there in the first place.
I feel your pain. Some of it is the design of the battle mechanics, for example outlines, shields deplete fast, you can’t always tell when you’re shot, scope glint, speed balance issues with sprint/slide or equipment, etc.
Ranked (ie with BR starts) does seem to be less sweaty, but that’s just my observation.
the problem is simple: there’s basically no casual modes in this game.
Even if it’s in a social playlist, the modes still promote competitive play, it’s just natural.
The closest we have is Fiesta which has its own set of frustrations. Infinite needs Action Sack and stuff like Infection, Grifball, Rocket Race, etc. Something silly to wind down and goof around when you dont wanna play Slayer or Objective modes.
yeah… just finished my 10 placement matches Gold 3 with an amazing .74KD Half of the games, my team never stood a chance You could drive a boat though the skill gap
One of those was a 15/200 strong hold match, and the 15 was only at the end when the other team stopped playing the objective and just hunted us for a while. Game number 10(CTF) was going ok with 3 caps right away, but then it fell apart and we got wreaked.
I don’t mind losing a close game. When everything is tight and evenly matched and every move matters is a lot of fun, but this was just a pointless slaughter.
Unless you partied up before hand, the games always been a big hit or miss match even in the originals. Matchmaker doesn’t know how you play or who would be best to pair up with you, it goes off simple statistics by your win/loss ratio and maybe kill/death ratio. Those unfortunately don’t really say much outside of those statistics.
