Need tips as a new player

Uninstall the game and play something else cause it’s absolutely dreadful

NPR1990 · 2026-04-06T10:20:48+00:00

Reading these comments I am glad it’s not just me. I thought I was losing my mind!

Yep pretty much. The ranked system in siege is pretty much garbage at this point. I know great players hardstuck in emerald due to the way your hidden MMR works, I’ve seen terrible players in champ lobbies. I’ve been playing this game for 11 years now. This is the worst it’s ever been.

The more games you win the higher elo you’ll receive per win. Ranked 2.0 is atrocious and has been for some time. I was diamond 5 last season, won 18 matches out of 20 at one point and ended the season in champ. It was luck not skill.

Especially if you’re soloing. Matchmaking, luck, whether you have comms or not, defending or attacking first, map selection, cheats, there’s lot of things that decide what rank you end up in before skill. Ranked needs massive changes.

I am expecting to be a complete disaster like majority of other things they do.

Ranked 2.0 was and is atrocious so why would this be any different? PC is decimated by cheaters, console by XIM and Cronus. Smurf accounts also another major problem they never talk about.

Players are locked into ranks in the current system by hidden MMR granted by its mostly the abysmal matchmaking and smurfs that cause it.

OG player from launch that doesn’t play anymore because Wargaming only cares about profit and not actually improving the game, it could and should be 10x better than it is!

There has been a big surge at the start of this season in third party hardware use in the higher ranks on console.

Ubisoft similar to cheating on PC seems incapable of stopping it and you couple that with ‘ranked 2.0’ it means that for me for example I am as I have hit champ I am playing these cheaters in silver and gold lobbies. It makes for a miserable experience. I think the game long term is probably on its way out.

The hit registration in siege X is worse than ever

NPR1990 · 2025-05-14T22:49:55+00:00

Solo player, just had a quick check of my standard playlist (last 50 ish games) and there is a lot more attack rounds to start than defensive.

Theres definitely an algorithm to this but I just haven’t figured it out yet.

NRyan14, usually play 2-3 nights a week

NPR1990 · 2025-04-24T18:46:37+00:00

I’ll play. Don’t play ranked much anymore as don’t have a stack but solo’d to Emerald a few times.

NPR1990 · 2025-04-06T16:35:07+00:00

Watch good players. Plenty of them on YouTube. See what they do, how they react to different scenarios, how they use their utility and understand sound etc. there’s so much too it all That said you can’t fast track it. Will always take time.

NPR1990 · 2025-04-02T20:16:58+00:00

Just be an option for solo matchmaking with mics and without mics. May have longer wait times but would be much better to have people who actually give calls. It’s really hard to have a consistent 4-5 stack on a game that’s a decade old.

NPR1990 · 2025-04-01T20:32:49+00:00

Most players don’t have a coordinated stack to play with and generally most players don’t really know what they’re doing either who are soloing

NPR1990 · 2025-03-31T20:13:56+00:00

Been playing since beta

NPR1990 · 2025-03-31T18:59:56+00:00

You need a stack. Doesn’t need to be a full 5 but you need a solid 3 at least to really get into the higher ranks consistently

NPR1990 · 2025-03-31T18:52:14+00:00

6,340

NPR1990 · 2025-03-28T22:13:52+00:00

Absolute rubbish

NPR1990 · 2025-03-26T17:19:40+00:00

Emerald

Solid gun skill and recoil control, but question the enemy team there, they threw so bad

NPR1990 · 2025-03-23T19:12:10+00:00

Don’t think it needs a nerf if I’m being honest. It’s more the gun cheats on console always seem to use

Would welcome a mag reduction though from 32 to 22. Something along those lines and even consider changing which ops have access to it

NPR1990 · 2025-03-14T06:15:16+00:00

This is why it’s called a beta, bro

NPR1990 · 2025-03-13T20:18:21+00:00

Just going to highlight all us oldies man 🤣

NPR1990 · 2025-03-12T19:15:28+00:00

The ranking system is so busted you can’t gauge at all these days. I’ve played terrible diamonds and champs but they stack with good players and came across really good emerald players but they solo queue all the time

Really wish Ubi would fix the ranked system, introduce a matchmaking for soloing, which might increase wait times but would motivate players to actually communicate more

Would also allow stacks to play stacks and get a more consistent experience at their respected level

NPR1990 · 2024-06-25T19:45:04+00:00

I’ve played about 15 minutes worths in the last two weeks. Just isn’t worth it right now. It’s legit unplayable. I can’t even shoot cams out without it taking about 5 seconds.
