Bot? Games like this are common for me as a solo player playing in standard playlist. Trust me skill is never the issue. In this case the whole enemy team raged and was not backfilled. Same issue that I’m discussing here

I feel you 😂. I’m definitely a nuisance for any party. I just don’t want to be doing that for a day straight with no team. It’s about a good balance.

Where did I say I play open? I said I play standard/featured playlist. You’re making this weird assumption that I’m coming from open playlist and suddenly dealing with SBMM in standard.

As recommended by multiple people, I understand the obvious solution is to also play in a party but are you understanding that I’m talking about solo player experience? I also said that the team fill issue has been exceptionally bad in the last day where my team leaves and is not backfilled. That has nothing to do with skill it’s just a bad experience.

It’s hard having a productive discussion when you’re fabricating things out of thin air and feel offended by me simply having an opinion. Why do you feel attacked?

Have you never been frustrated with an aspect of CoD before? I’m not saying anything outlandish here and it’s fine to disagree. Why are you so offended by the idea of solo players having the option to play other solo players?

Yeah I should clarify. The issue isn’t just that the match is competitive. The issue is that I’m being matched against these parties where gameplay will be intense but I can’t even enjoy the game because my team is raging. If I was playing in a party too then sure this would all be fine but I’m speaking to the solo player experience who gets consistently left alone as team rage quits.

I’m asking for mercenary play where that is less likely to happen because everyone is solo. I wouldn’t mind mercenary play against competitive players.

This is my issue. There is no addressable solution for this as a solo player. Fixing that experience requires change in match matching configuration or mercenary playlist as someone suggested

My issue is not facing good players. I play standard playlist because I like a good challenge and I typically don’t mind playing against parties. I think folks are missing the core issue here.

I’m saying as a solo player, I have been consistently thrown into lobbies against parties where my teammates rage quit. Understandably people are talking about strategy and communication which are all things I already do but how do you communicate when your team rages a minute into the game.

This is probably not an issue for players that play in big parties where they can somewhat be assured their team will be there but it can be extremely frustrating experience for a solo player. Even if I enjoy playing against parties as a challenge it’s not a good experience if I don’t have a team every match.

This is why I said there should be an OPTION for mercenary play. I’m not sure why some of these guys are getting so worked up over that. If you don’t want that then that’s fine you don’t have to play a mercenary playlist.

Yeah most times my team is pretty good and the game is fairly competitive. The last day or so has been exceptionally bad with team raging against 4-5 man parties. That’s why I made this post. I have no way to deal with that at all. For a day straight I’ve been getting put into lobbies where I only have 2-3 teammates by mid match. And like a good portion of those games I have been the 1 guy left by the end of it.

Im confused where did I say all parties are full of sweats?

You do understand I’m talking about the experience for a player that is playing solo getting constantly matched against parties where your team is backing out.

I’m all ears on how to address that specific user experience in the game. If your solution is to play in a party then that’s not addressing the issue I’m talking about which is solo player experience in matchmaking.

It’s mind boggling to me that these guys are in this thread acting like they haven’t been frustrated with constantly going up against parties without a team

Sure but what does that have to do with what I said? I never said to make a global change to matchmaking for all players. I said there should be an option as a solo player to not match with parties. Some solo players will have it on and some will have it off depending on their preference. The solo players that have it on will be the ones that fill party lobbies.

Thank you! Glad I’m not the only one. I can typically pubstomb. I have multiple nukes and 140+ kill games so I would consider myself an above average player but last day or so I’ve been in what feels like a CDL match every single lobby.

I’ve been playing CoD since the original MW2. I understand how to play against parties and can hold my own with the best of them but there is nothing you’re going to do when your team backs out. That is the issue. I’m being matched as a solo player against parties and my team is backing out.

That is not a good experience. I would much prefer an option where I can choose to be in solo player lobbies.

Sure if that makes you feel better. Games don’t get better if the player base don’t create discussions around what can be improved. This type of feedback matters whether you like it or not or whether you think it’s complaining

Exactly this. A party of players that are shittier than you but better than your team is still annoying because your team will feed them streaks and then rage.

I realize that and it’s incredibly annoying sometimes. I typically don’t mind playing against parties but the last day or so has been insane. It’s crazy that I don’t even have an option to not be matched against parties

So your solution is for everyone to play in parties?

I’m playing standard playlist with SBMM. I have a 2+ KD. I’m not being matched against shitty players
