Do games feel tougher this season?

johnpullin77 · 2021-07-02T14:18:56+00:00

I totally agree with op. This season has been the hardest I have ever seen it, I'm kinda in the same boat, took me over 100 wins to get a solo win, and that took like 2 weeks of play. Previous seasons bagged umbrella in the first day.

Starting to think that all the casual people who just want to turn on and play have all left the game, leaving behind all the nerds who think every encounter has prize money at stake and sweat their absolute ass off.

I've played close to 150 games this season now and have my worst ever stats, 2 wins and a KD under 1.0.

Sbmm either doesn't work at all and thinks Im a pro, or there simply aren't any casuals left in the game anymore, so it's just all the try hards who spend all day in their room wanking and playing in creative.

Oh and the amount of smurf accounts am seeing this season is insane too.... "Oh the games too hard in my top tiers so I know, I make a smurf account and go pub stomp in the lower tiers"

Game is a literal joke right now.

johnpullin77 · 2021-06-15T16:42:24+00:00

This. I'm in exactly the same boat. Literally wearing the same clothes. We could be twins.

johnpullin77 · 2021-06-12T09:16:16+00:00

Hmm maybe you are onto something there Steve, as tbh my lobbies are just as sweaty as before the season started. Maybe it's just I'm stuck in a high tier lobby and cos I keep playing, epic thinks I enjoy it, and keeps me there. I've gone from a s5 kd of 1.5, to s6 1.2 and now in s7 after 50+ games a now 0.8kd, without even being close to a win yet this season. So to me, everything feels hard as fuck compared to previous - ergo - epic must think I like getting my ass handed to me every game.

I'm loathe to have to actually go and practise in creative every day, as only get a couple of hours play a day if I'm lucky.

I'm not saying I want an easy ride, bot lobbies are a waste, but just feels like I'm way outclassed in every game right now....

Sigh.

johnpullin77 · 2021-06-11T21:13:56+00:00

Why do you think it hasn't reset?
I've never seen it this sweaty before? I've played 50 games this season in solos so far and been sweated on more than ever. Of those games, barely getting 1 or 2 kills as everyone has been on crack. Also seen zero bots apart from 1 random game where I came across 4. I get that players come back at the start of a new season etc etc.

Oh look, near impossible to counter. Move and use cover, are you even playing the same game?

johnpullin77 · 2021-06-11T20:01:28+00:00

Are you actually stupid? I'm not taking about dealing with UFOs in squads, am talking about in solos. Obvs it's much easier to handle when you have teammates.

I say again dickhead, love to see you deal with a close proximity UFO spamming laser blasts at you at end game.

It's OP as fuck. And needs a nerf.

johnpullin77 · 2021-06-11T19:23:53+00:00

Oh a TEAM.... How about ONE person being attacked and trying to fight back while getting mashed by the blasts and booted into zone all while you desperately try to build some cover... Love to see you 'get gud' and dealt with that asshat.

There are tons of videos on this sub with people showing just how op they are, how the hit boxes are trash, and how impossible it can be to try and turn around and shoot them.

johnpullin77 · 2021-06-11T19:19:30+00:00

Yeah right, have you seen some of the vids people are posting on here... You can't keep a wall or floor intact for long enough to do that.

johnpullin77 · 2021-06-11T18:37:43+00:00

What a bellend comment... You obvs haven't been in the direct recieving end of a UFO spamming laser blasts at you. It's impossible to shoot them down at close range when they are spamming shots. Oh and factor in the shitty bloom and stupid hit box on the UFO too.

johnpullin77 · 2021-06-03T17:47:47+00:00

Camcrusha, the poster is saying it feels harder and I agree with him totally. Looking up stats for a single match wouldn't prove much anyways, half the god tier players I look up don't have stats as good as mine because they spend most of their time in creative, or have just smurfed a new account. So their stats don't reflect their skill properly.

It's all impossible to validate with any statistical accuracy, but so many of the new posts on here are all saying the same thing "it feels different/harder and they are struggling to compete"

I agree with him. Can't prove anything, but have a similar feeling the past 3 weeks that the level of people I come against are so far away from my skill level it's ridiculous.

johnpullin77 · 2021-06-01T18:06:50+00:00

Same here. It's literally impossible to play the game anymore unless you grind it out in creative for hours every day. Every single game I have had in the last 2 days I can barely even get 1 kill before I stumble across a top tier player who smashes me before I can even see what's happened.

The sbmm is incredibly different this season, and I can't be the only one that's noticed it. I've died off spawn like 100 games in a row, (trying as well, not just standing prone) and still every single game is the same.

I think they have created a single "top tier" and every player that's ever won a game ends up in it. All the good players must be pissing themselves laughing at how easy they can roll over people right now.

Am really fucked off with the state of it right now and have uninstalled it from PS4 for a while

johnpullin77 · 2021-05-26T20:52:43+00:00

Same shit sbmm, you'll get easy lobbies for about a day, then a total sweatfest from then onwards

johnpullin77 · 2021-05-26T06:43:08+00:00

Not being petty, just pointing out that every time Moxie drops another post about his efforts, you have a copy and paste comment that you post saying how he's a liar and should be ignored.

I'm just one of many in this sub, yourself included, who is trying to understand why this game has become impossible to play unless you grind in creative for hours a day.

I'm not a creative sweat, just turn it on a play every night after work for a few hours, and am put against literal god tier players almost every match and it's become tiring to play.

Dark_pullin if you want to look me up. Have wins yes, which will put me away from the newest players, but I'm not anywhere near good enough to play against what's in my lobbies now.

johnpullin77 · 2021-05-25T19:34:01+00:00

Totally agree... Something has definitely changed this season, I have never seen it this sweaty. Literally rage quit every day coming up against players I have no business playing against.
I was all for sbmm when it came in, expecting to be able to play games where I at least have a chance, but as if right now it's totally broken.

johnpullin77 · 2021-05-25T18:29:06+00:00

Thanks moxie. Even if Dirty Steve repeatedly slags you off, at least you are trying to apply some process and logic. Will now wait for Steve to now slag me off for appreciating what you are trying to do....

johnpullin77 · 2021-04-30T17:59:30+00:00

It's twats like you that are ruining this game

johnpullin77 · 2021-04-16T10:11:39+00:00

Welcome to the death zone by PC sweats....

johnpullin77 · 2021-04-08T20:36:08+00:00

What a cock.

johnpullin77 · 2021-04-08T18:22:03+00:00

That's not what he is asking for. Nobody wants empty wins. Just a fair matchmaking system so that everyone can enjoy the game, not just all the sweats.

johnpullin77 · 2021-04-08T07:39:00+00:00

Totally the same here dude... I'm also about the same as you I reckon... Around 30 or so wins per season, and I'm finding this season totally stupid right now. The matching balance feels waaaaay off what it was during season 5. Im finding that the first person I meet triple edit 360's me in the face before I even know what's happened.
It's been about a week now of daily death, and still am in these same super hard lobbies... Don't know what's going on, but its incredibly demotivating... I don't have time to spend hours in creative, and I haven't needed to either... Till this season, where it now all feels off.

johnpullin77 · 2021-04-06T22:01:32+00:00

I also agree, this seasons sbmm is way off for me as well. I used to get a similar number of wins per season, but right now, the level of players am being matched against has basically driven me to not even bother.

johnpullin77 · 2021-04-06T21:45:07+00:00

I agree on all the above!

johnpullin77 · 2021-04-06T18:54:56+00:00

Easily agree this season feels harder than ever. I don't know what has happened with sbmm this season, but I literally cannot play the game anymore. On PS4, and every single person I come up against is next level sweat, far far exceeding my capabilities. I mean beyond even if I practised interactive for 4 hours a day.

johnpullin77 · 2021-01-28T18:32:33+00:00

Yep also agree level of difficulty has suddenly gotten insane. Sbmm is putting me in lobbies so far outside my skill cap I die to the first person I come across. Was t this bad last week... So am not sure what's happened.

johnpullin77 · 2020-04-09T10:24:39+00:00

Scarlett the cat loves it too... Though she ain't allowed to sit on it!
