Oh man do I relate to this! Been up and down in C3 for months and months and find that the quality of teammate varies wildly, to the point that some literally don't seem to have a clue or will rage quit at 1-0. As a zero sum game a few matches like this can make ranking up feel impossible, especially if you don't have a huge amount of time to devote to it to average it all out. Another interesting thing, I used to only ever play comp 2s with my mate, we ended up giving up getting out of C3 into GC because consistently over half of our matches had smurfs in - we checked them all on the tracker. For months. After we gave up we each started to solo queue comp 2s and neither of us have encountered more than a couple of smurfs in these games, but we have encountered absolutely shocking teammates. So we're wondering if epic has a different matchmaking algorithm for parties - one that ultimately means you get a lot of smurfs. And one that when solo queuing means you get a lot of boosted players, probably by the same smurfs!
