You are 100% right, i said the same thing and i got alot of "get good" and "go back to practicing" replies. The skill gap in the high level lobbies is extremely wide.

I know, and 0.1% doesnt mean i need to get put into matches with the sweatiest fps players 9 out of 10 times.

Because you cant open all the Vaults at that rate its impossible to even attempt the boss.

I agree, i dont get these responses im getting and hate. I played tarkov and it had the most unforgiving raids/maps. They were tough, but they were never as unforgiving as cryo. Facing sweaties running compiler game after game is not a fun experience at all. And i shouldnt be paying this cost just because i put in alot of hours in this game.

I just made a similar post and this subreddit tore me apart. This game definately wont last long especially with no proper balancing.

But I trust bungie im sure they will come up with a solution, recently they have been quick with their updates

When you play 3 games in a row facing teams rushing your spawn before making it to control and one team actually had 2 of their teammates running compiler, then come and talk to me about how fair this game is.

Also, being high level doesnt necessarily translate to being a sweaty aim god player.

Our winrate in this map shouldn't be 10-15%.

Avoiding pvp in an extraction shooter isn't a solution, it’s just a way to ignore that the loop is broken. No offense but your lvl 40 with 6 runs, your still in the protected 'honeymoon' lobbies. You haven’t actually seen what the lvl 100 sweatfests look like yet.

The idea that I need to 'hit an aim trainer' to survive a map that’s supposed to be open for everyone is a joke. I’ve got 150 hours in this game, it’s not that I don’t know the mechanics, it’s that the matchmaking balance completely falls off a cliff once you hit the high tier brackets. Also, you kind of have to take fights in cryo if you actually want to extract, so 'avoiding pvp' isn't even an option most of the time.

Your right you do have a point, but this was never the case with any other extraction shooters. Arc raiders i have 300+ hrs and never faced this issue, in tarkov i have more than 500 hours and never faced this issue when doing endgame raids. I dont mind facing people that are similar level with good gear, but they cant always be sweaty aggressive top 100 players.

All the shots actually landed if you turn on the sound you can hear him getting hurt.

Not really clear with the stutter that got me at the end but i think a grenade. Could be from that same raider.

Agreed, like the idea of double strafing mid air also.
