Is it common to get stomped in public matches after level 5?


(SilentSmile) #1

Hi,
I noticed that after level 5, I ended up being thrown into the deep end with players with levels far above me, ranging from 6 all the way to 25. I have yet to win a single match being level 6, infact a lot of the matches I’ve been in usually end up with the enemy team running around our spawn area and pinning us down, and so we’re unable to reach the objective let alone setting up a C4 charge at the objective or repairing the ev.

Are these kind of matches common?

at the moment, yes
matchmaking is broken and hopefully get some love with this weeks update

I personally haven’t been experience this problem, is it maybe just bad luck? What location are you playing from? I actually wasn’t aware that the game matched players based on levels.

I’m sorry @nostalgicMan .
But when there’s nothing to do near the objective I get closer to the enemy spawn and try to defend there so there’s more room and time to respawn when our defense fails. And if the enemy can’t hold up against the new line of defense I go a little closer again. And sometimes it happens that I find myself right inside the enemy spawn…
Sorry :,(

Quick game litteraly looks at your ping and puts you in a game… the highest thing i could think of might be looking at friends playing as a priority but there wont be anything else. In Matchmaking I see a lot of people rank 5-10 who think they already know how the game is going and then get stomped big time by a 5 man premade team that is actually decent.
I give them the same advise everytime figure out what they wanna play and train harder until they hit matchmaking of wait long enough until seeding is done properly and all the high-top tier players are in Cobalt/elite and the new players are in bronze-silver.

I have never met a player above rank 15, you must be really unlucky. FYI, I’m rank 7.

Those are levels, not ranks.

This is ranks:

FYI i am one of the guys in the premade team :slight_smile: im level 24ish and the rest is between 16-30 but we all share a lot of comp expierience in other games and a bit in dirty bomb aswell.

I’ve seen a level 27 once. I am level 11 myself.

And yes, this kind of thing happens a lot. You see one team playing with 5 Skyhammers and 1 Fragger and getting stomped and spawn raeped.

Some players have no clue what to do. I saw a team in Bridge that kept on repairing the EV but didn’t realize you have to take down the barrier first. They also repaired with 3 Skyhammers at the same time.

Dunno, I run around knifing people in matches without an issue.
