Just had to do an entire strongholds match 3 v 4 from the start. Then the next match was 2 v 4. How the heck are we supposed to rank up or even put on our tough pants and compete when we’re outnumbered from the get go. Surely if it starts 3v4 the match should be stopped before it even starts. There has to be a better way!! Or at least don’t take rank away when we lose. That’s the insult to injury

This is the first time I’ve ever been kicked out of a game TWICE in a row. First time I thought it was a fluke and so i tried to play another one. Both mid-game too. Lost a ton of rank and then temp banned.
My internet didnt drop or anything, and my other team mates finished the match so it was my connection to the server somehow? Twice in a row? I guess the game doesnt have a way of knowing if its “your fault” or not.

It’s pointless to stress about. Had 2 teammates leave at exactly the same time, eventually third teammate left. Then when I did the right thing by leaving and not wasting everyone’s time, I lost a big chunk of rank for quitting. I play ranked because I like the load outs and game types. Trying to actually rank up is too frustrating to worry about.

Its just annoying.
The only thing I want is to prove to myself that i can get out of this Gold bracket - I seem to be locked into Gold 6 rank this time, I can’t break out into Platinum. Something always happens that prevents me when i get to the end of Gold 6; bad losing streak, steamrolled by better players, 3v4 match thats always a loss, etc. Its almost like the game knows and won’t allow it to happen. I dont want Onyx, just Plat 1 lol
You can’t unless you stop playing with randoms. Letting the AI matchmaker pick your teammates is playing to lose.
So when i play with people lower or around my rank, they arent as good as me or we still end up losing for whatever reason.
Then when i play with people above my rank, i’m not good enough (most of the time) so we end up losing.
Tried playing with randoms. Its 50/50.
But at least it’s more fun playing with friends i know. I just feel bad when i dont contribute.
As general said it’s so hard playing with randoms it’s a hassle. There is absolutely no communication most of the time. I’m usually the only one with a mic or who actually uses a mic and almost nobody pings anything so it’s a bunch of lone wolves running around. Plus they quit…I’m sure sometimes it’s not their fault. God forbid there is a duo or fully functioning communicating team on the other side because you’re pretty much dead due to lack of comms. It’s also very hard to find people to play with sometimes. The recruiting forum doesn’t seem to get much activity. I’ve put my feelers out a couple times looking for lower gold players to improve with and pretty much radio silence. I wish you had the option to stay with a team or do a quick invite in a post game lobby with people you play well with. my kid plays Fortnite and they have an awesome social setup on there that makes it like the push of one button to connect with people to add friends and team invites.
You got that right. Luckily, when I hit Onyx I literally stop even thinking about CSR because it’s truly pointless at that point.
I wish games would incorporate means of starting clans or communities directly in the game. Find people you enjoy playing with, invite them to the community, then when they’re on you can team up and play together. Start a large community and you find tuns of people you can play together regularly… Even to the point you may never work with randoms again.
But no, they make everything so limited and difficult to set up, when even though adding features to help people like this would greatly improve their experiences.
Steam at least allows you to start communities right on their website, so you can probably do this through that. But it’d still be simpler if you could do it directly in the game instead.
