Casual isn't fun anymore

I get off work and want to run a few rounds. I'm 0/4. The last 2 TDMs were highly coordinated teams that were running angles and setting up traps, playing as a unit. I am with a bunch of other solo queues who are struggling to stay alive for half a second when anyone sees us.

Meanwhile, Point Break and I'm stuck in Starlight with snipers, then a team with a bunch of coordinated lights.

The game is losing all sense of fun. I want to just play with some different guns and gadgets and get a few wins here and there. I feel like I'm just playing against try hards that run meta loadouts and work like a tactical squad. And before you tell me to just screw around have fun, that's hard to do when as soon as you see someone from their team your get surrounded and melted.

I'm just venting. This game is getting on my nerves lately. I no longer have fun without friends to play with. Solo has become basically unplayable.

Embark forced changed my user name from Grape Juice

They force changed my name GrapeJuice and won't let me have it back. They let people run around with IHateJews or NateHiggers or the actual fucking n word and dress in a Racist outfit or Osama Bin Laden but I can't have Grapejuice. What a joke of a company.

Edit:

I've had grape juice for a long time and it's not some racist dog whistle. It's because my friends and I are all different juices. Like apple, grape, orange, mango, raspberry, lime, lemon, strawberry, and pineapple. It's from when we played garys mod and tf2 together.

My profile

I did not dress my characters racist they are original default with a Christmas hat.

Ranked Matchmaking's Finest (Scoreboards)

Greetings Contestants,

With the ever increasing number of complaint posts about matchmaking lately, and having little desire to just silence the issue completely by removing any discussion about it, I thought we could have some fun and use this Megathread to post your worst matchmaking screenshots. Perhaps it can better illustrate the complaints to the devs in a concentrated manner.

I'm talking 75k+ team differences. 25k+ differences between individuals. The real nitty gritty. Show us your worst. Illustrate the times that it's too big of a gap to be a reasonable match.

I will say that if you're [rank] going against [slightly higher rank] and constantly losing, it's entirely possible you have plateau'd and belong in that rank, but I also think a combination of lower player population, top players being able to grind RS points easily to widen the gap further, and shorter queue time prioritization has made it feel less than desirable to queue Ranked this season. A solo mode would be nice too, ahem.

Moving forward, matchmaking scoreboard posts about Ranked will continue to be removed and directed here.

Never seen this level of toxicity before

Asked him to coin because I was fighting a 1v3 defending our cash-out. He said now you coin. And waited like this for over 5 minutes. We lost of course. Do people really have time in their life to be this petty? Just trying to get some games in before I get off. Rabidpet you suck.

The kick has been a great addition!

The utility of the kick to create controlled distance between you and an enemy is incredibly useful. Also, when you end up killing someone with it, it is immensely satisfying to kick someone so hard that they turn into coins!

Since S11, smoke from buildings takes 3 minutes to disappear.

How is this not fixed, and no one is taking about this.

This is a serious question not even being sarcastic: How does someone win in ranked?

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.

What cosmetics are these, if anyone knows?

Met this guy a few minutes ago but never got to ask what stuff he was wearing

That exploit waste a game

I don't know how orange does that, but it blocks the entire round. I don't know if it's a common exploit, but it wastes a game 🥲

How do I get better at TDM?

I've been playing medium and heavy this season but that got boring just felt like COD so I decided to go back to my original main but the rework changed it a bit. Though, I personally think it's because I'm not good at all at the finals. Season 11 has taught me that, season 10 was a fluke.

A slap to the face to melee

You cannot lunge in smoke, or at invisible enemies, this applies to all melee of course, it just hits dagger the hardest since there was an unlisted nerf to both m1 and m2, reducing both effective ranges from roughly 2.8 meters to 2.15 roughly a 23% decrease!

add on to the fact they keep slowing down this weapon, you move slower than a heavy as soon as you start charging the attack, now as well as when using m1

I will not forget in patch 4.0 when they reworked dagger m2 they SHADOW nerfed its charge time from .5 to .81 a 62% nerf!!! (they've brought it down to .65, it's still 30% slower) what weapon gets multiple massive shadow nerfs other than dagger

they removed the ability to backstab gadgets in patch 7.0 the most unique part of this weapon, it is laughably bad at dealing with deployables compared to any other weapon in the finals; I'm convinced after this game released there is a dev that is trying to get this weapons identity wiped off the roster

Al-Len The Sentinal

Al-Len has been on this planet for more than 2000 years, landing somewhere on the ivory coast. although he has travled the galaxy throughout the years. he always finds his way back to earth keeping close to his orginal descent. no one knows why.

He’s hard to miss but even harder to find.
