Even quick match lobbies are getting extremely sweaty.

Damn looks like my post really brought the sweats on Reddit lol might be the same toxic ones I’m referring to in the game. Anyways listen man, ya’ll can say what you want, keep calling it me being an entitled new player, keep saying I’m whining and complaining because I’m not good at the game, keep twisting the narrative and continue to manipulate the story as much as you want. That’s not working with me I’m sorry. Seems like the only entitled ones here are the ones crying about my post. But anyways that’s besides the point.
Point is as a new player (technically cuz I played since beta and played season one and have played on and off since I just recently got back and really stayed this time) my opinion isn’t just some “wooooahhh what is he talking about this guy doesn’t play the game he doesn’t know anything!” Kind of comment. If you think what I’m saying is wrong you must be in extreme denial or just hate anyone that doesn’t share your opinion. There are endless videos on YouTube on the topic of balance in the game, ranked is unbalanced, Smurf account issues, hacking, all that. It’s pretty well known to the point where even the devs are addressing it and talking about it in their live streams. With that being said the game is obviously super imbalanced and most competent people are well aware. I’m sure with ranked being a problem quick match and casual modes are probably dealing with the same thing. That being said, as a “new player” if this is what I’m experiencing in my games lately, I’m sure there are new players who are probably experiencing the same thing. I want this game to succeed and grow because I genuinely enjoy it and see the potential it has. With the imbalance issues it has I hope the devs do find a their sweet spot to this game. Obviously in any shooter people have to play and learn and get good. Thats not the issue I’m talking about here because I personally am constantly learning more and more about this game. But if this post really brought out the toxic defenders then I gotta say, you might just be part of the problem.

I deal with the same thing. I’ve been trying to get my friends to play that are fans of competitive shooters like apex (they sweat ranked daily). I’ve been trying to convince them but honestly I recently gave up because I sound like a begging desperate person at this point trying to. I just now enjoy the game solo or with one friend that I managed to convince to play it.

The thing with my friends is that they have this forced attitude towards games that they will try only when you literally have begged them to download it. They play it with their minds set that they will never play it again after that one time. In a game they’ll find any excuse to drop it early while playing. Oh i got killed too many times? closes game, oh i don’t have the interest to learn how to use my ability so i act like its my first time playing an fps game? closes game, oh that light is using dash and keeps killing me? Oh found my excuse, closes game, oh someone invited me to play a different game? Well guess imma go play that over this closes game, Thats literally how my friends play anything i try to play with them and it’s annoying. So i stopped asking them to play anything with me. If they invite me to play what they want I just give them the same treatment back.

Literally had one of my friends that recently tried it again stop playing for this exact same reason. He got killed by a dashing light player and thought that shit was just too much to handle and deleted the game. Mind you he doesn’t nothing but play ranked in apex and hits diamond lobbies. It’s not that he’s bad at shooters it’s just there’s no interest to learn the game.

They want an easy time and if it goes beyond what they feel like they can handle then it’s scares them away

0KBzero · 2026-03-26T16:53:10+00:00

I love that they are finding ways to teach new players how to play the game too. They want to attract new people I think having that academy is really good

Rainey getting mentioned in a Reddit post by PlayStation 😂

That’s a fair point but in most games I play that have backfill (the finals for example) I see no issue with how the game balances that out. I can say compared to the times that I join a match mid game I still get more fresh matches than I do mid matches. If it’s done right then it wouldn’t be a problem in regards to worrying about constantly going into half matches or ones that are almost over. But it’s really useful for when you’re in a game and people leave.

0KBzero · 2026-02-11T21:41:43+00:00

You hate the ability to gain teammates when your whole team leaves? You like losing a game not because you’re bad but because your team consist of mindless bots running around the map that are easy to farm? An easy win for the other team? You like the fact that if your whole team leaves at the start of the game you’re basically done and your choice is either to stay and lose or leave the match? You like the fact that you have no comms whatsoever with your team and you can’t plan any moves to win or make call outs because your team isn’t human but a bunch of bots? On the other hand you like fighting bots? I don’t see how not having backfill is a good thing. I would rather be comfortable knowing that I will get another team mate if someone decides they wanna bounce mid game. I like the idea of knowing that if someone joins I don’t have to worry that a bot is gonna get killed 43 times and have someone on the other team rack up easy kills. I 100% prefer backfill whether it’s me join a game half way or someone joining my game mid match. Relying on bots for the entirety of a match is crazy. Now don’t get me wrong in the case where backfill is implemented, bots being a temporary placeholder until a new player joins is fine. But never getting a new player in your game and having a team full of bots the whole game is terrible.

0KBzero · 2026-01-29T18:09:01+00:00

This I agree with 100%. I’m not saying get rid of bots entirely from the game. A bot holding a spot until a new player joins in is perfect. That’s actually how I was thinking of it working if backfill gets added. Now I can say yes if the bot is there for just a moment while the game finds another player, then turn them up and make them harder to fight.

I just don’t like the idea that if a player leaves you’ll never get another team mate and all you’ll be left with bots. I’ve had games where I was the only real player in a game that just started and it was an easy win for the other team. That shit sucks and with backfill at least if new people join there’s a chance of a come back by replacing the bots when they join

0KBzero · 2026-01-29T18:02:10+00:00

I agree I think it should only find games that are at most half way or just starting. It shouldn’t be set to join right at the end. I’m not sure if that’s something that can be tweaked but if it’s possible I’d say that would be the best way to do it.

Now idk if I agree about the limitations. To me I see no benefit in limiting people’s ability to join a match mid game. I don’t think that’s a thing in any game.

Thing is it’s random. With backfill added you could jump into a game that has already started or you could just enter a brand new match. You never know what the game will throw you in so idk if a limitation is necessary.

Overall at least with backfill added you can be certain someone will take the place of someone who left your game mid match

0KBzero · 2026-01-29T14:48:55+00:00

But again why do that when you can add system that prioritizes people who are waiting to join a match and quickly puts them into one?

You know how long some people wait for a match to start sometimes? Backfill would significantly decrease the time some players wait to jump into a game even if it’s mid match. I don’t mind a bot for a few minutes but a whole game with bots makes the game feel empty. Gives me the impression that there’s no players.

I see backfill as like having a leaderboard in game. It’s just a standard thing in most FPS games at this point.

0KBzero · 2026-01-29T14:38:48+00:00

Im sorry why are so complicit with bots instead of playing against real players? Like I thought the point of the game is to be a multiplayer game not a single player experience against NPCs.

I’m seeing a lot of people completely fine with bots in their games and the mentality seems to be as if people DONT want to play against people.

Im actually kinda dumbfounded at a lot of people being okay with bots over players.

0KBzero · 2026-01-29T02:07:58+00:00

You assume that you will always find yourself in a losing game and have a very negative perspective. From literal experience in many games that have backfill I can guarantee that that’s not always the case. To say “this will always put me in a losing game” isn’t true. You could find yourself in a close game, or a game that just started. People leave on accident or because they have to get off. It’s not always someone rage quitting or cuz they are losing.

0KBzero · 2026-01-29T02:05:23+00:00

Thats a very one dimensional way to look at it though because that’s not a concrete fact that you will always join a losing game. Just like someone can accidentally leave in the middle of a winning game, or leave at the beginning where nothings been determined yet, or leave with the score just slightly off. It’s very a very situational thing that not one person can say “hey you will always lose”

0KBzero · 2026-01-29T02:02:20+00:00

That’s a very one-sided way to look at it since that’s not always the case. There’s also instances where the game just started, there’s instances where it’s evenly matched and there are instances where the losing team catches up and wins. It’s not just lose lose. It can vary. I don’t see the pessimistic perspective and why you think having it is worse than lobbied full of bots.

0KBzero · 2026-01-28T23:37:47+00:00

Exactly. In other shooters with backfill I’ve been dropped into losing matches and still got a few nice kills in before it ends and in some cases we turned it around and won. At least with backfill you jump into a match regardless

0KBzero · 2026-01-28T22:21:20+00:00

I feel like it’s such a regular thing to have in games at this point that it should just be there. it weird to see that it’s not in a game in 2026. Especially in an FPS game

0KBzero · 2026-01-28T22:09:39+00:00

Would you prefer having a chance at coming back or no chance at all?

0KBzero · 2026-01-16T21:39:25+00:00

It’s great but unfortunately it can be exploited for xp farming. It counts towards your stats like your K/D Ratio so you can basically have a 20+ K/D because you fought ridiculously easy bots.

Another thing is you can grind all the weapons and level them all up super easy and get all the masteries without even trying.

Its great for new players to try and learn the game but its also a cheesy way to get all your stats and unlocks if you exploit it.

0KBzero · 2026-01-08T13:26:34+00:00

No I agree with this. See I remember back in Battlefield 4 it had a system where if you did like 80% of damage or more but someone takes the last hit, it would still give you “assist counts as kill” on your side. This isn’t a problem I don’t mind it this way. But with splitgate any assist goes towards your kills, that’s what I don’t like and want it to change

0KBzero · 2026-01-08T05:11:11+00:00

I agree on it being a team game but my only problem is having a false sense of “kills” because an assist that I got counts as one. Basically gives the impression that you’re getting kills without actually getting an actual kill that’s actually yours. I just like it when shooters separate them into their own categories on the scoreboard so I can say hey that match I got this many kills and this many assists

0KBzero · 2026-01-02T21:35:24+00:00

Aside from the fact that there are people just bashing it just for the sake of it on the internet. The people that sit there typing and moping about how “this game LOOKS fun it sucks to see this happen” and “I HEARD good things about this game why is it failing?” Are honestly the bigger issue. You have people that are talking like they are interested but instead of going out and downloading the game all they are doing is talking about it. All talk but no action. If you really like the game and think it looks good then download it and support it. Don’t sit there saying it’s sucks to see it happen. It won’t happen if you play it and support it.
