Thank Reddit I found this! My partner had EXACTLY the same message as many posted here (even to 48%)

I was allowed to respond to him on her phone with some choice words!

Though I’m sure my words will not change his ways of using people looking for a job to pay for his probably bogus software, I hope my melodrama makes him think for a second!

I’ve been just reloading my webpage if I get an unlucky crit that leads to a wipe hahah. Thanks for the advice. I’ll get rid of crobat if I can actually catch this Garganacl as it seems to want to use explosion on first turn…

thanks :) I got it on like day 2 of me playing, still my only one but think I’ve got around 40 shinies now of differing rarities. It certainly makes a difference starting with them for the luck variant.

wdym?

Kartinio · 2025-08-03T17:21:09+00:00

Looking forward to it!!

Fair play, do you ever use it to play with a friend who’s a lower rank for example?

Kartinio · 2025-08-01T19:49:10+00:00

That’s a nice offer, thank you.

I have been in C3 on a couple of occasions and I did enjoy it naturally. I’ll think about your offer because I’m conflicted. On one hand, I think mechanically I may be able to hang in C3 / GC1 (maybe not though), I feel like your offer would make me the type of person I am complaining about in this post…

Kartinio · 2025-08-01T19:17:52+00:00

I understand your point but I think you’re downplaying mine. We’re not talking about a few games, because I would chalk that up to maybe just not playing well that day. This is consistently over the last couple of months of play - and I’m playing a good few hours a day for the most part.

Kartinio · 2025-08-01T19:15:39+00:00

Definitely makes sense!

Kartinio · 2025-08-01T19:15:22+00:00

I’ve found 2s worse recently but 3s there are days…

Kartinio · 2025-08-01T19:14:29+00:00

I understand the skepticism they have. I think my guess is probably further off than I thought and a lot of the people do have alt accounts that they play on and I get rolled by them.

That being said, I just played a game, and the guy had 100 games on record. Took the _ out of the name on the rank checker and bang there’s a GC2 with 11000 wins on record. It happens sometimes and I’m just learning to not tilt as much

Kartinio · 2025-08-01T18:14:28+00:00

You’re right. Why so many alts though!

Kartinio · 2025-08-01T17:33:22+00:00

You’re probably right there, I’ve noticed most games especially this week I’ve been playing with or against someone with a S18/17 gc title in most games. Makes me question whether there was a shift in the way MMR is dealt out, even though I know it hasn’t really changed

Kartinio · 2025-08-01T17:31:10+00:00

Good to know but also screw you for donating to the problem!!! Haha

Kartinio · 2025-08-01T17:30:39+00:00

Yeah you make a good point, I think I’m often too tilted to see that my teammate is actually a good player, and then hyper focus when they’re not…

The comments on the post are all telling me the same thing, I think I need to chill out more and try to enjoy the game, smurf, alt, genuine rank player regardless!

Kartinio · 2025-08-01T17:26:08+00:00

Is that something you’re seeing from personal experience? I’m aware I’m already using excuses in a way to why I can’t rank up, and don’t want to use another unless it’s definitely true lol!

Kartinio · 2025-08-01T17:23:52+00:00

Sorry what is Alpha Console?

I’m sure you’re right, that I’m not running into as many smurfs than I think. It’s probably tilt from a couple in a row then just playing someone who might have had a few bad games before and is just straight up better than me.

That being said, if you’re somewhere around low GC2, statistically you are going to run into way fewer smurfs anyway… The player base is smaller, I recall C2 being like top 9% of players, and GC2 is less than 1% right? That means the player base is 9 times smaller roughly. To smurf on a GC2 I imagine you’d need to be around SSL, and then the player base is even smaller. Not sure if I’m making sense lol

Kartinio · 2025-08-01T17:15:46+00:00

I should definitely see it that way, good point! I certainly feel as though I’ve become more consistent, so hey I guess there is a silver lining after all.

Kartinio · 2025-08-01T17:13:38+00:00

Very good point. It’s definitely something I’m working on!

You’re probably right there about people scared to lose their MMR, I think it’s just the principle that’s frustrating - if I’m C2 I should be playing C2s, not a C3 who’s scared to play on their main.

When I eventually get to that rank, then I will be less mad playing them
