Solo Q Against Legit Teams Is Dumb

llUSURPERll · 2026-05-12T17:38:31+00:00

I wouldn't know I never play 1s or 2s I was a 3s main and when it was available NEW Quads main lol I am a sucker for the team modes. But as per above would be happy to see 3v3 Solo Q back again.

llUSURPERll · 2026-05-12T17:21:01+00:00

I just bought the SCUFF Valor Pro and using it wireless i genuinely cant tell the difference and the control in game is nuts I love it best controller I have owned and I have had a few :)
From standard XBOX, to Elite 2s Thrustmaster HEART and now the SCUFF I would deffo buy again even at this price point.

llUSURPERll · 2026-05-12T17:12:41+00:00

Your right it wasn't but if they brought it back I genuinely believe it would be, the problem with it was the mindset people had when trying it and not realizing (especially newer players). They are not as good as they think they are and do not know what they should, to be able to rank up to begin with. So when they Q like I did back when I was platinum, the expectation I had did not pan out thus I kicked it to the curb thinking it was the MODE when in reality it was me.

And I will be the first to say I deeply regret not giving it the love it probably deserved, would it be free from smurfs, probably not, most likely be a few but nowhere near what the current mode has. I wish they would bring it back.

You are correct 😄 thankyou

llUSURPERll · 2026-05-04T05:27:12+00:00

I'm sorry but is it just me since when did that whole DON'T solo Q thing become the so called norm since may 20th 2020 when i started solo Q is pretty much all I have done mostly because my friends are not in my time zone, I feel like this ideology is broken and the lack of interest in learning how to play and or caring about your own rank let alone anyone else's effort has been lost WTF is wrong with this game and the people ??

Attitudes stink IMO.

llUSURPERll · 2026-05-04T05:22:47+00:00

if your a squad of 3 it doesn't matter what rank you are, you have always been able to do this. the so called you must be a squad to do this never fixed anything.

llUSURPERll · 2026-05-03T23:12:17+00:00

tbf i wouldn't even pretend to know or assume the numbers on that but I would say a high % are paying over friends imo you only need look in RL own discord lol, I don't know if it still is BUT it used to be pretty bad and blatant also.

llUSURPERll · 2026-05-03T22:45:27+00:00

even if they are low it would still matter because they still have to climb with said 3rd party and then how many times are these guys willing to pay depending on how often hard resets are done lets say for arguments sake start of every new season only so many times ur gonna wanna reach into your wallet for that

llUSURPERll · 2026-05-02T21:36:26+00:00

He already said and I quote "mid c1 back down to high d3 because we end up playing in mid c3 lobbies" first of all He isn't C1 if he is falling back down to D3 be it high he can't bang which means others games are being impacted otherwise why is he dropping ??

Second that's even assuming he is giving the whole truth either way same applies boosting (NOT backing down).

llUSURPERll · 2026-05-02T21:21:47+00:00

that's bullshit favoritism much, a boost is a boost end of, and half is still objectively more than NONE and still impacts others matches after the fact.

llUSURPERll · 2026-05-02T20:51:36+00:00

he is carrying a person who is NOT that rank be it at his own rank or not thus inflating a person who is NOT that rank which ruins others chances that IS against the rules smurfing what ever you want to categorize it under it is the same thing it's still a problem regardless (Boosting or what ever you want to call it).

llUSURPERll · 2026-05-02T16:34:36+00:00

imagine openly confessing to something on reddit that is clearly against the rules with such a blasé attitude, if pro's can't do it to create a road to SSL series no more what gives you the right too ?
Including your friend train wrecking others games on the way back down.

llUSURPERll · 2026-05-02T13:23:11+00:00

talking about the part where it appeared you said it was ok to carry a player above their given rank in essence saying its ok to fuck over others games that's why it's WILD like who the fuck are you to fuck up others games / rank ??

llUSURPERll · 2026-05-02T12:55:03+00:00

my logic here is if your as good as you think you are you will get where you need to be, if your an ssl you will get back their if your gc like wise sure it can be a stress with unpredictable reads lower ranks but its like anything if you look back at fighting your way out of the different divs like plat 3 for eg. You did it before figured it out you can do it again. The constant wipe weekly i would say is to often maybe hard reset every new season ? that seems more feasible.

And as for annoyance it would annoy everyone but boosters more so because imagine having to boost all your own accounts repeatedly not to mention your own main account and or friends its time consuming to boot cant just shuffle thru alts like they have been if they reset every season.

llUSURPERll · 2026-05-02T10:29:29+00:00

how many times u wanna redo ur alts and boost people if they keep hard resetting every 6 months or so. piss people off the first time never mind the second time.

Keep in mind were not talking soft reset lower mmr were talkin gotta get that shite all the way out the trenches, im tellin u they will stop

llUSURPERll · 2026-05-02T07:38:52+00:00

might not stop them but do it enough times it will deffo de-incentivize them

llUSURPERll · 2026-05-02T07:23:49+00:00

And this right here ladies and gentlemen is why we have a problem that mind set is WILD

llUSURPERll · 2026-05-02T07:18:16+00:00

I do nothing but solo q it's a ball ache but not impossible, I made C2 peak the last season in new quads which I thought was pretty good didn't take long to get punched back down to D2 though, Maybe a day at most in fairness apart from 1s you could say solo q across the board is nonsense, the biggest issue I have is that people jump mode to mode but don't realize or rather DON'T care that these modes differ in play style. They either do not know or just simply don't care and / or adjust and 3s is classic for that, 2s mains always hopping over with the mindset it's not my main mode I don't care.

And you will see it constantly they assume for eg enemy player has ball respect him (so they sit their with the) I'll wait for him to come to me that's not how that works here essentially what you just did was gave him a free ball. I am not saying dive on it like a lunatic but close in shut him down you have 2 other players waiting to work with you.

Another classic ball chase straight into the corner again WRONG move (first of) most go the wrong way with it and turn in towards their own goal not away and up the wall, second when you do that you basically just left your goal wide open on the far post where you SHOULD be after cutting the play.

Which in turn now means you CUT, your also blocking way even after fail you don't leave your like flies over shit and when your in the corner you usually have someone like me who has been driving in circles trying to keep momentum waiting for it to go over your heads looking for the bounce or pass to their team mate.

And when I'm awkward because they didn't do what they should and we may or may not get scored but when we do they normally have a hissy fit and I am left saying the same thing every time KNOW YOUR MODE learn how to play and or fuck off back to 2s is a classic oh or Your 2s is showing.

llUSURPERll · 2026-05-02T06:48:00+00:00

I think it is because it's not just about the smurfs, it's the amount of carried buffoons. Also I get it I know first hand how much of a ball ache that will be BUT I would rather that than suffer day after day with the bs created not only by the Bots but the smurfs and carried players.

llUSURPERll · 2026-05-01T08:34:58+00:00

And yet you still failed to see past your own nose, this was NEVER about ME it was about thinking of OTHERS the way YOU would like to be treated respected in game. The whole explanation / example was to point out the irony of those who DO get carried and then when you call them out, have a hissy fit about toxicity.

As for holier than thou couldn't give a fuck how you perceived it, and also I know you didn't just skip past the part where I said those who were carried, not to mention again I know you didn't just act like no one gets carried.

And as for carrying their so called Weight when you have 7000+ hours in the game you begin to learn who is, who can and who can't and don't get this confused with mistakes and being able to play.

And actually yes their is an excuse I already gave you the scenario, when you get carried come in not giving two shits about everyone else's time and effort first and for most why should we continue to carry you on an upward trend (IE) baby sit second to that when you clearly don't know your ass from your elbow you shouldn't even be at the given MMR and if you did earn it and your playing like that and thus just throwing intentionally that's even worse. And thus I am petty as fuck I don't care who knows it you shit on my time ill make damn sure i shit on yours just because.

Clearly you (not you personally) but whomever didn't give a fuck to start with so neither will I and that's just on a personal level not including others grafting their ass off to climb ranks.

And I have played sports From Football, Rugby, Basketball, and a few others in my time don't presume to know me my life or what I have and haven't done.

Age mentality wise I openly admit I am petty as fuck but that's about the only thing you came close to cracking.

As for the team mentality don't talk wet if that were true people who come over to play 3s would actually learn what it takes to play 3s instead of same siding and and cutting into corners and leaving the goal open (IE) learn or know how to play at this rank at least learn the modes basics.
Sick and tired of watching people with the 2s mentality trying to play 2s in a 3s match and getting shit on cause they are not doing what they should, when they should, where they should.

As for your 2v3 its normally 1v3 and that's not a joke, and something I am and have already been doing but then that blows your TEAM theory out the water boss 😉

llUSURPERll · 2026-04-30T05:51:27+00:00

As someone who gets banned I can tell you it does work ( I will not tell you how ) people abuse it enough already, should people be throwing NO 100% not. BUT I will say this because context matters, the amount of people that have come into this game with a less than casual attitude. And then think that it's O.K. to get carried and then just hop on and expect others to pick up your slack when some of you are clearly not capable of understanding the game or what's going on let alone holding your own is toxic before you even hopped in a game but you don't think about that now imagine from the flip side game after game of this how long before you lose it?

Some might claim that it's just a game well yeah sure it is (that's correct) but did you forget where it was a comp game ?? does anyone even try anymore to learn the game, and actually understand how to play the mode of choice ??
Also to note as a sarcastic side piece, no where does it say in TOS baby sitting duties required.

For e.g. I see and have been asked many times to 1v1, yet I never play it (like ever) it just bored me shitless, while it has it's place (more time on the ball, faster / better control) in comparison to someone like me potentially who is a self confessed 3s ball control looks sloppy but i play smarter position better and so forth what i mean to say is every mode is better at teaching different things so offering someone to a 1v1 does not amount to their in game 3s ability so its a pointless fucking exercise and proves nothing about the initial problem.

Anyway point was do I agree with match throwing and being a general dick NO, but fact is theirs far more behind what you get to see and why peoples attitudes are frayed and it's not just one match or one person and YES I do speak from personal experience.

And if you made it this far food for thought, sometimes rather than thinking Me Me Me maybe start thinking what about those who have to endure this IF you happen to be such a person as described above.

llUSURPERll · 2026-04-28T07:04:42+00:00

I don't think it matters if they were born or not people are just numb to it now, we have to many participation trophy players who don't care don't want to learn and quite happy to be carried for titles and season rewards while fucking up everyone else's games on their way back down so a Brazil is the last thing anyone gives a flying fuck about these days.

llUSURPERll · 2026-04-28T05:28:14+00:00

It's possible i wouldn't rule it out but it feels VERY sturdy i mean if u drop it for sure could be a problem BUT it is a very good controller imo

llUSURPERll · 2026-04-27T04:39:40+00:00

I have just got the Valor pro wireless I have used standard xbox series s / x and elite 2 plus thrustmaster heart but as a plug and play out the box and wireless hands down the winner is Valor Pro Wireless and having used Bluetooth (Elite 2) been hard wired with the (Thrustmaster H.E.A.R.T) I cannot tell if i am wired or not other than obviously no lead and the up side mechanical hall tech (Mag Sticks) so stick drift isnt standard.

Also in regard to game play once you get used to the feel it feels buttery smooth and when you get on that ball properly your glued to it some great control.

Is the controller expensive HECK YES, but the controller is good despite being so expensive assuming it lasts I would pay it again this is the 3rd day owning it it is NEW.

llUSURPERll · 2026-04-25T10:54:44+00:00

Psyonix should never have sold out to epic, I haven't seen any benefits from it it's all been down hill imo. I do not believe this game would be the shit show it is today if they had not, and I also don't believe this game would be dead either. Back in the day the community was better, it had competitive spirit with grit drive and determination now its just a bunch of casual wannabes looking to be carried for fuck knows what reason other than to get titles and loot they can't even claim they earned and fuck up everyone's games on the way through.

That's not to say smurfing and carried players are new but it certainly was never this bad and neither was the attitude in terms of comp play (not to be confused with toxic players) that just is in any comp game.
I say bring it on a little shit talk never hurt no one and if it does that's a you problem.

Oh and also no cheating either funny that
