Not a single hacker so far, and everyone is using their mic and talking. You guys should hop on so we can get some more matches going.

I played comp today, after 20 tries to find a server I finally started playing. after a minute or two one guy left. We lost 1st round. then it was hard to repair the EV so another guy quit and we lost. I got my 750 credits for the mission and then i got another mission to play 2 comp matches for 1000 credits. after it searched for a match about ten minutes I gave up and abandoned the mission and decided that no matter how much CR is involved never NEVER return to that horrible experience.
Thing is, this was not the 1st time I had a horrible time playing comp its about 90% of the time.
So yeah until they do something about it I just will take pubs seriously.

Most people I know run into hackers, rage quitting, baddie level 5s and connection failures in competitive. I see a lot of that too. I personally only play competitive for quest credits; I prefer pubs without a doubt. I’d only do competitive if I had 4 high-skill friends to play with me.

I guess it’s luck? I’ve played 11 games and only one of them were bad where it was a 4v5, but it was a connection issue as the guy did have 700+ ping and I didn’t mind it too much. Although not everybody uses mics though which can be a problem, I’ve came across a total of literally 4 people who used mics, but overall my expierence with competitive has been great, I only do competitive as 5v5 is a much better setting for me, 8v8 is way to hectic and sometimes impossible to do even do anything as an attacker if you have bad teammates and that can be just as bad in 6v6. But the one thing I really hate, is having that one guy in the queue always not accepting and making me have a 6 minute queue time in total :frowning:

I did 2 matches today. And they were pretty smooth. didn’t took too long till they were found (around 2 min each), the lobby didn’t glitch, noone left the game midfight (tnx guys), and the team balance wasn’t that bad, both sides had 2-3 players around my bracket (+/- 1) the rest where unranked.

Personaly I feel that the latest backend change did improve things quite a bit. It is still not perfect bugs still occur and the system is still struggleing hard with the low playerbase but an improvement non the lest.

Not disputing bad experiences here just stating that it gotten better at least for me. One tipp tho, since the system is very dependend on active playerbase, it is best to go into MM at the peak hours of your region.

Played two yesterday, one 4-5, anotherone 5-4. Probably bad luck.

Now just tried to play, five mins of waiting, accept, connecting to server… connecting… connecting… connectin… nothing. Search started again by itself, something happend, and it will search again. Everything stopped, and now a ban for a few mins on trying to start, because of failing to accept. We know this one, I just hope they don’t accumulate.

So three games in two days, NONE worked as you would think it should.

Good to hear you haven’t encountered any hackers yet. While playing comp over the last few months i have encountered a few, it ruins the fun. Most of them will go like 60/5. Make sure to report if you run into any. Keep on playin
