I'm not here to bicker or mope I'm being genuine. while I'm obv not necessarily happy that I'm being paired up with ruby and diamond players in my lobbies as a gold, what can you really do yk? So I've come to the conclusion that I need to adapt somehow to the best of my ability. At the moment I have no friends who can play with me so I have to solo queue, my gun play is honestly decent, I'm holding good positions and am stalling the box well, yet no matter what, I still end up losing every match. I have lost over 5-6k rs in this past hour is so. All I need to know is what exactly should I be doing or not doing to win ranked games? Any and all input would be greatly appreciated.

So typically I use Kontrol Freeks, but since they were grinding the face plate I bought the SCUF BRAND GRIPS, AND NOT EVEN THOSE WORK. THE PLASTIC SHAVINGS OF THE FACEPLATE ARE FALLING INTO THE JOYSTICK AND GIVING ME STICK DRIFT. SCUF, DO BETTER THIS IS PITIFUL. If ANYONE has any tips or ways to stop this, please tell me, if there's like an alternative or a way to get rid of this.

There have been so many times where I've thought "omg I wish someone just saw that," after hitting a legendary stall on the cashbox or solo team wiping. Embark, PLEASE give people the recognition they deserve after they make an insane play. It would give a lot of low level players the ability to kind of break out and get the spotlight a little bit more in, the world's greatest game show.

My ps5 is acting slow. Like REALLY slow, like waiting 20 minutes for it to log me in slow. This happened suddenly when I was playing The Finals (go play it btw it's amazing) and then my game froze and said, "server has timed out" and I got kicked from the match. I then closed the game and reopened thinking that would fix things but then it wouldn't let me get past the loading screen. So then I tried restarting my ps5 but then when I tried to log into my account, it had me stuck on the "please wait" screen for 15 minutes before finally letting me get into the console. I am now stuck with no games loading and the PlayStation store isn't loading. I have WiFi and full cellular but nothing is working. What is happening.

I started this day at plat 3. I am now gold 4. Why try to push ranked when you're inevitably going to get dropped back down 7 ranks in less than 2 hours? Doesn't help that I play light and don't even get the opportunity to do damage and instead just die instantaneously every waking second. I don't even get the chance to fight back I just suddenly die out of nowhere and get cross mapped. Even when I end up finding cover I still get tracked by level 14 smurfs with 7000 eliminations. If you have ANY recommendations as to how on EARTH I can make this game playable again please let me know. All I want is to make it to diamond at the very least.

I've been a supporter sense season one, and have been defending this game from all the hate it gets sense it's release. I've climbed ranks and become relevant in the community compiling my skill and becoming one of the better players on the platform imo. But despite that, I've just found myself losing. Never have I ever lost so many matches compared to just now and never have I ever missed so many close up shots, easy 1v1s and simple team plays. I'm just starting to fall behind everyone else, it feels like I can't play at all. I just keep dying, with one negative kdr after the next. I just need guidance I need help because I don't know what's wrong with me. I know it seems stupid to be this upset over this game or even a game for that matter, but this game is the only one I have ever found myself being good at and playing regularly ever day to the point where it's kind of become a routine. I just need help and maybe some thoughts on why this is happening to me please.
