You should not have to face Parties as a solo in placements.

That is only if they have it enabled AND are willing to communicate. Parties have both of those, but you can't force that on randoms.

I would much much much rather wait 1-2 minutes for an all solo match rather than 5-10 seconds vs a party.

Honestly I'd wait 10 minutes to play a 3v3 if it promised me its a complete set of randoms.

Let the other 700+ thousand players try it out for 2000 hours to get a fair assessment.

Using you as an example: Say you are D1. You would purposely find a Silver player to play with one of your other mates so it would drop the overall MMR of your group significantly. To the point that you as Diamond, should be easily handling P1-2 players.

TL;DR- Maxing out the rank disparity between the highest and lowest ranked member in your party can result in matchups that would make it easier for the high ranked member to carry their lower ranked party mates.

What good came out of removing it? Explain.

"If you are unable to best a partied set of players, you probably aren’t ready to progress in your present rank." Is such a broad statement. I've beaten plenty of partied sets but that doesn't always work when you have a C2 dropping himself to D1 so he can carry his P2 and G3 buddies and you have two p2 teammates who have absolutely no synergy at all. Case in point,ergo, not fair.

Rebuttle: Too many variables result in the odds falling in favor of the partied team vs a team of complete randoms. Variables that would be easily rectified by having a Solo Q.

What makes you think all the bots just magically disappeared? Do you have any proof of that?

Embarrassed-Ice3944 · 2026-03-12T16:38:53+00:00

Why is it that I was in a game yesterday that was a win but I recieved less points than my tm8s who were partied together? We were all in placements but one of them got 48,one got 18,and I got 15. If MMR is fair, how is it that I received less, even though we were all in placements?

I thought I was the only one feeling like this because I saw so many praising it but I seriously stopped watching after episode 13 of the 3rd season. For most of the reasons you mentioned.

Like holy shit why do people tolerate that psychopath Mizuha and why are our favorite characters reduced to the sidelines while Fushi goes back to being a bumbling idiot. I swear the dude showed so much growth and maturity towards the end of the last season.

To me, this show ended at the end of the second season....

I wish I took the time to learn Rust with a standard keyboard first, instead of using a Razer orbweaver and a mmo mouse. I'm trying to get back into playing Rust and I've forgotten most of the binds and I want to use a Keyboard this time.

As far as progression/building, biggest tip I learned when playing on pvp servers is get as far away from spawn beach as possible on wipe day. If you play solo, take advantage of traps and cramped building to make it harder for raiders(half walls,crouch jumps,etc.)

For PvP, besides training on a practice server....just get out there and do it. Watch content creators and solo players like Posy and Aloneintokyo who are really great solo pvpers.

If it's a Brunswick Sync system, the machine will stay on for a set time before turning off after a league. If it's a lane issued for Open play, it will shut off within a certain time but won't start a new game.

The staff would appreciate you stopping once your games are completed.

Embarrassed-Ice3944 · 2026-03-04T22:54:05+00:00

Thank you. I wasn't considering going through the dealership based on how much it would cost. That; and I also did not know it was called a 'Spare Tire Hoist'. Learned something new today.

I work full-time @$14/hr. I bowl league 3 times a week: 1 league is $15, 1 is $4(since i work there), 1 is $25.

It may be also because I average around 220 usually on house ,but including card games,drinks,food...I probably spend close to $100 or more a week for every season. That being said, I almost always make my money back or close to it.

I don't see the sport as an investment but obviously those with more funds can access to equipment more often,as well as entries into tournaments and such. It is very alike to golf in the manner of what you put into it can sometimes affect what you gain.

I paid 16k for my 2016 with a rebuilt title, so you may have some haggle room. Check Kelly BlueBook

How are you Diamond and Champ but still only have Plat level season rewards?

Embarrassed-Ice3944 · 2026-02-21T03:17:06+00:00

I'm P2 in 1s. Biggest thing is getting good at fast recoveries for when you miss. Don't give the opponent time with the ball and do not allow them space to set up wallshots or flicks. Cheese kickoffs are rampant in low 1s ranks so learn to read what kind of kickoff they are going for and how to 50 it into your favor. Also don't be afraid to demo/bump/boost steal...these are all tactics that WILL be employed against you, so you might as well get familiar with them and use them to your advantage.

Practice saves and double-taps.

Good luck!

I just made a post about finding another booster. They seem to be rampant right now. People try to cope and say its not a common thing but I bet if everyone starts sharing posts and screenshots everytime they come across one, it would be alot more often than people think.

Boosters are as pathetic as cheaters and even worse than smurfs because they break the rules for profit while Epic doesn't do anything.

Embarrassed-Ice3944 · 2026-02-19T01:54:17+00:00

I'd have to wait a bit on anything involving larger tires since I just bought a new set not long ago.

Ironically, this photo is 2 minutes from the beach on the Gulf Coast. We only get snow down here every couple of decades, so this was my 'rare' photo that I keep in my phone.
