At some point it's not enough to say skill issue.
I've posted, whined, and ranted here many times about ranked and how trash it is. I cannot escape Silver 1 no matter what I try. I tank, I poke, I dive, I fucking one tricked CnD to Silver 1.
But there has to be a point where "skill issue" cannot be an excuse for teammates that don't understand shit, the unbalanced, unfair matchmaking putting my group with a full stack, smurfs, or I shit you not, a stack of smurfs. SMURFING especially. The entire time I've played ranked I have gotten 14 smurfs banned, not that it matters.
Where does it end? Where does one see how it's no longer a skill issue but problems that netease refuses to fix? Because I've been playing this shit for days, some of yall since launch, and it's the same fucking thing. Unfair team balancing, smurfing/throwing, and people who somehow operate without brains. I am sick of it. SICK of NetEase's refusal to properly punish people, sick of people treating rank like some caste system, dismissing the lower rank complaints. I am sick of the people that play this game.
Maybe I do deserve Silver 1. Maybe I deserve to be stuck here, but there is a line between genuinely being outplayed by the enemy team, and the enemy being double digits while my team barely cracks more than 5. BACK. TO. BACK.
