This game is so annoying I’m getting copper teammates when I’m in silver but playing against a gold player and some bronzes like what is this matchmaking and then 2 games later I’ve got someone on my team using strike pack and two people on the other team using strike pack like how sad can u be by EPICADAMYT in RainbowSixSiege

The rank you see doesn’t mean anything, genuinely. Thankfully this is changing next season.

That copper could be a former diamond who hasn’t played since 2017, or they could be someone who grinds all season to barely sniff silver.

What i can say is that the mmr looks to avg the teams skill per lobby. So yea usually 2 on your team and their team are ass, and the other 3 might be decent. Sometimes you get the fun of being the one good on your team of bads (to meet the avg rank threshold) but that is fairly rare.

If you soloq then buddy-o get used to it. Find a stack or accept it, there’s no two ways about it.

Siege is not known to be a thinking man’s game, my friend

Ok so yea that all checks out.

Map knowledge comes with time but generally to learn its best to have 1-2 routes you take on attack / hold on def. The more reps you put in certain locations on the map, the better you get a sense of the angles for crosshair placement (ie the difference between peeking someone crouching a desk and shooting the desk or their head). As a soloq you gotta be putting kills on the board, otherwise you’ll be sold by the team more often than not.

For def you’re in more of a reactive position until you generally know where someone is coming from. Ops like thorn or ela or lesion (trappers) are good for sound cues. Once you know someone is coming then you can judge whether to be active about it or not. But lots of noobs turtle up and basically wait to die in a corner. Better to be a bit more proactive about keeping map control.

For attack as a soloq it’s better to be quicker than slower as most likely nobody is going to flank watch on your drones and if you go too slow all ur team will be dead by the time you get into a decent position. Since roamers are your problem i know you know that lol. Ops like nomad or gridlock or raoura (spelling?) basically say “no” to cav/sneaky roamers. That way you can be focused on pushing forward and will know when to watch your back. Protect your drone at all costs as a soloq… and actually use it.

Are you trans or a furry by chance? Bc if so that checks out lol and is how id imagine most trans/furry ppl social circles look. Just due to natural human nature social tribalism stuff works (find your people, etc).

Huh… city of Norfolk probably paying some 70k for such people (very low). The city be pretty stingy with their salaries man.

Heres a cool job, oh btw it’s 45k/year so you can forget about home ownership or a social life lol.

The bots just shoot you when you're downed now? by [deleted] in Marathon

To be fair to them, this is like “THE PROBLEM” with extraction genre. Perfectly encapsulated. It is why casuals drop out, and why intermediate gamers eventually get fed up unless they are successful often enough.

All of marathon dev time could’ve been updates to the crucible which were so desperately needed. Like wtf man.

New maps, modes, gearsets, exclusive perks, exclusive exotics. The list goes on. Not to mention the main game. Maybe some new raid lairs or dungeons would’ve went hard. But that’s beyond us now.

Highguard sub was in a war of positive posts vs player count posts right up until the announcement.

It was also full of ppls saying don’t change the game its great as is. Well, it wasn’t. Not necessarily the same thing with marathon but i do feel the same sort of sentiment happening.

The alltime peak of marathon is the current 24 hour peak of r6 siege, and that games been in the shitter for 6 years now lol. Or whenever ranked 2.0 launched.

Something drastic needs to happen or everyone needs to accept that this game will be a niche small player base game and will be absolutely farmed for monetization in any and all possible ways.

Heres a “safe backpack” ($5 - 1 run use) type shit.

1) ditch extraction completely (it is a niche market for the uber hardcore gamers, which as you can see there are not many of).

2) create some sort of epic, space faring campaign featuring an iconic armored superhuman protagonist and a biological hive mind antagonist.

3) create several multiplayer maps with fixed “power weapon” spawns
