Impossible to escape gold.

Honestly, yes. NA players are that bad. But they are number one at thinking they are number one.

Does not matter that season after season, it's always the same people climbing up the rankings. If these players managed to do it and they didn't, then they were cheating or they keep being the luckiest people in the world. It has to be, otherwise it would just be that you're not good enough.

Never mind the fact that people stream their whole journeys on several data center and climb up time after time. Never mind the fact that a lot of people at the top are mostly very experienced Frontlines players that can dominate their games.

If you look at the Top 100s all around, the average number of wins looks to be between 60 and 80. Not many horror stories of above 200 wins.

All cheaters obviously.

when you got people in the top 100 admitting behind closed doors that they cheated? yeah id say they either got really lucky or cheated hella hard repeatedly.

Just decided to start playing ranked today, literally had 2 teammates I got 3 games in a row that couldn't break 40k damage. The worst part is that I can't even put these goobers on a blacklist, so it's just an auto-loss. God, PvP is terrible.

this game does not have the systems needed to actually support a Ranked pvp mode, FL and RW with a few changes could be perfect but CC will always be bad and unfun, CC does NOT respect anybody's time. All of these Git gud people saying 'Oh just get better at the game forehead lul' obviously win traded or cheated since they obviously /never/ had a losing streak due to a lack of communication or players with a proper mentality for the mode i.e 'I want to win'. three days ago i had three people be on the same team with each other like 5 times in a row that rofl stomped my team every time while i take pot shots kill like three of the enemy team before getting hard focused lol

I don't think anyone is saying that they don't have bad days/losing streaks but at the same time why couldn't someone still climb to crystal while having them? You can still eventually climb even though you might have rough days sometimes

yeah you can climb ranked and risk a stress induced stroke because you keep getting teammates that have no idea what they're doing or you can go play FL and enjoy yourself AND get progress on the BP still

Jokes aside, there is no incentive to try in ranked and the overall player mentality is 'Why bother trying when i can just enjoy myself?' personally i have started doing this because i cant be bothered to try, i just wanna max my BP out and CC is the fastest way to do it.

I got very lucky with my teammates while getting out of gold (once again).

They were all fantastic, all the time, with no exception. All god tier players pressing their LBs at the right moment, using purify when cc'd, spamming their recuperate buttons, using the potions on the field and denying the enemy theirs. If for some reason, those great players died and it was too much of a disadvantageous situation, they would fall back and regroup. I barely had to do anything at all while my teammates kept carrying me to victory.

I should go buy a lottery ticket with all that luck I keep having.

But of course, if it was not luck, it must have been cheating. It couldn't possibly be skill. Luck and cheating are the only options.

Honestly I sorta wish the feast DIDN'T get deleted.

CC is fine. There's nothing wrong with the game mode. I just have a problem with folks ignoring the crystal and instead choosing to play team death match the entire session. The amount of back doors I have seen while my respawn timer is going is really infuriating.

There's no getting through to some of these people. Crystal was easy to anyone with experience in other PvP games or to people with enough time. PvP Discord has plenty of memes of people going -1000 from bad streaks and tilts only for them to make it back the next day.

As for the issues with other players, it's like the most basic rule when going through the climb to wait few minutes if you keep getting same players you want to avoid for them to be put in another game or picking one of their Jobs to snipe them, even if you had less experience with it.

Well, some of us did try to warn you about Crystal Coinflip....but "Lol Skill Issue"

Laughing at all the utter horse manure back in those old threads now.
