L2C solution required - 1 stage

Hi. We are having an engineer come to fit full fibre on the 17th. This is what it says on the wholesale checker. I believe 1 stage means they expect to do it all in one go? We reckon the l2c solution is needed as the current cable goes through a thick tree. This is unavoidable. Will they definitely have solutions to this? Is this likely to be the problem? We don't want them to come on the day and say it's not possible. Thanks

Tax refund question

I am in england and have UC and LCWRA. I got a tax refund of £830 today. I've been out of work for 8 months.

I had read that I will lose an equal amount from my benefits as it's treated at earnings. I read here that it would be the same 55p to a pound over a certain amount rule but when I asked my work coach, she agreed that I would lose £830 from my benefits (therefore leaving me at 0 for this month).

Can anyone confirm this is correct?

Word collect offer issues

Did a turbo offer and it never tracked. I asked support about it and they said it was being held and would be released on the 30th of June. It's now the 3rd of July and nothing.

I then did the 1200 words offer and it hasn't tracked either. They've said the same about why. This app was going well so far so this is a shame.

For anyone still doubting rank inflation

If you've reached a far higher rank than previous systems , queue up with someone who got your current rank on the old system (and is the same rank as you now) and you'll see that you play completely different players due to MMR matchmaking.

Infact, you're probably playing with the exact same players you were playing in hardstuck plat lobbies... Except you're all crims now.

I say this all as someone's who rank is also inflated. I was about to hit crim last season but just fell short. I'm now crim 2 on this system without even playing much. I have multiple hardstuck plats/diamonds friends who are flying through crim. Anyone who was low crim last season is already iri. I queue up with my friend who was crim 2 last season and I'm fighting for my life against diamonds/ crims (he's only played a few games this season).

Anyone who's still denying this is actually delusional.

Any previous high diamond players wanna team up EU?

English speaking and chill. Finding solo queue rough and my previous team are scared of my lobbies (even though they're all crim now lol)

Looking for those that were high diamond last season before the new easy system.

Remove hidden MMR from matchmaking FFS

I was excited for the new sr system and it has been a lot more fun and less punishing to grind.... However it's completely ruined gaming with friends.

My friends were hardstuck platinum and low diamond last season. With this new system they're now crim 1. I am also crim 1 but finding it hard to progress in my lobbies, whereas they are flying through crim. The lobbies we get are so drastically different, that they have started avoiding playing with me altogether.

They call my lobbies "cursed" and would much rather play plats , diamonds and fake crims all the way to iri (yes iri actually seems achievable from them lol). They're about to overtake me without any problems while I'm stuck here playing actual crims from previous seasons.

The hidden MMR makes this system completely broken. Take it out, have everyone in a specific rank play everyone else in a specific rank. Have iris and top 250s go down to crim in the new season, crims down to diamond and diamond down to plat. This would make the system good and legit imo.

Expected timeline?

We were originally told my openreach and our isp that we would have fibre by the end of June this year. We then saw them put in fibre lines all around our village and down the telegraph poles on our drive. We believe the last cables were put in a few weeks ago.

​

All checkers say nothing about it being built in our area. The openreach one say "we are planning to build in this area".

​

I am unsure what exactly the end of June timeline was. I assume just for the infrastructure, although our isp suggested that's likely when it will be available to order. Has anyone had similar and what happened in the end?

​

Are we likely to see it available in the next two weeks? What happens then? We have quite a complicated house and we are concerned the original install won't be possible.

​

We've been waiting to get decent internet for a long time now and the lack of communication is rather annoying for me personally lol.

Forget fake diamonds... We even have fake crims now

I thought my hardstuck platinum mates easily hitting diamond already was a bit broken but I'm now playing fake crims too!

​

For context I'm diamond 3 and as they're still using mmr for matchmaking, my lobbies only consist of crim players and the rare diamond. Some of these crims are honestly awful. Played a 4 stack of them yesterday and they were worse than plats I was playing last season.

​

This system is a lot more fun for everyone tbf - a lot of my mates are playing the game more due to not being hard stuck anymore. That's great but for people to be hitting ranks they don't deserve this soon into the season is broken.

​

They need to at least remove mmr from matchmaking and have everyone face a mix of players at their rank. My friends shouldn't be playing platinums and awful diamonds while I play only crims and ex iris when we are the same rank.

​

Yes, in theory ill rank up quicker due to rank adjustment but winning games consistently and being top of the leadboard while solo queuing into only crim lobbies isn't easy.

So disappointing that they're still using MMR heavily for matchmaking

Thought the system would get rid of this but instead I have other diamond friends who are flying through sr solo queue yet struggle massively in my diamond lobbies. We should be playing the same mix of diamonds.

Unlocking ranked

So It said I needed 10 top 6 resurgence placements so I got that. I could then click on warzone ranked. However I now can't search for a game because it says I need 20 top placements??? Is there any tracking of this? I have no idea how many I have total and what "top placements" actually means.

Console might be even more chalked this season

I'm peak diamond 3 but playing with my crim mates so far we've played a 4 stack of AI aimbotters and several solo queue hackers.

This shit might be unplayable.

Devs show new SR changes. If these are accurate, are the bonuses big enough?

My only concern here is it'll take a long time for good players to get through the ranks. You'll have a lot of very good players placed at lower ranks who didn't have time to grind.

Experiences with the thumb grips?

Getting some for my birthday. Most interested in a raised stick for call of duty and more grip.
