It didn’t change during solo Q because all the maters and preds got matched together vs diamonds. It was the same issue and didn’t put the preds and masters on separate teams.

"The best squad in the lobby still wins, whether or not they queued together."

Duh? The important point is that 3-stacks aren't dominating the lobbies; the best squads are winning but those best squads likely more frequently contained solo players who previously would have been more relegated to the middle/bottom of the lobby because they didn't have the same level of team work

4:58 this is just objectively false information. If this is how it was meant to be during the solo q only split, then a majority of pred players would not have been getting pred/masters teammates, while diamond players were still only getting diamond teammates. During that time I made it to masters, and the entire run through diamond I only had 4-5 games with anybody higher than diamond on my team, when 65-70% of the lobby is master+, this should simply not happen. This is not only my situation, it is a general consensus. Now if they were intending for it to be the way they described, then there was clearly a bug in their spaghetti code as per usual.

Gonna be real, they don’t let me stack and I just won’t play. I solo queued this game for years, now that I have people to play with, I’m not going to go back to playing solo.

Ranked sucks for Preds. And it sucks 10x for Diamonds. They could just look at Season 13 data. Just lazy stuff because they want people to play the game more than they want competitive integrity for ranked. That is the situation.

The biggest problem with Ranked is that RP doesn’t reflect actual combat ability. I can drop 1,500 damage and 4 kills while my random teammates do 200 each, then we die 10th and I get 0 RP, so I’m basically stuck because my teammates can’t keep up. Matchmaking should use actual combat ability to balance teams, not just RP.

Respawn, read this and you will fix rank. For everyone that hit masters let them decide if they want to play full stack, BUT having to wait longer because there are FORCED to play against full stacks in master/pred lobbies. Add button to be matchmake with other random master and pred duos (if they are solos), and a solo queue in dia lobbies (not being able to be more than 1 master/pred player in each team unless there are enough players to be 2 master/pred players in each squad, not 2 preds in the same squad ever tho.

EDIT: some things were kinda bad writed so i rewrited a bit.

4:10 how is this so surprising to them when they were filling preds with other preds? even during solo queue plats got plats and preds got preds as teammates, in the end only the lower skill players had even worse chances of winning

That shift chart shows that every diamond team there has 2 diamond members. Every pred team has a pred and 2 masters (one being with 2 preds and likely 1 master). Or am I crazy? The average team has 2 masters and 1 diamond however, but if that's the only chart they are showing that doesn't seem like a good test.

The game leaning into such heavy ability play is making solo que ranking so hard, rampart, axel are two massive examples that are so hard to fight uncoordinated

The solo queue effected me and my squad as we stopped playing as our goal is in that solo queue spot so we lost motivation to play

duo winning more is probably due to the fact that 3stack takes a risk and pushes as a team and if they lose - they lose, but duo takes a risk and pushes as a duo, often leaving a solo behind, who in turn will res them, idk maybe

5:28 I was D2 at that time, not a single match with master or pred, and I was constantly fighting against teams with at least 2 masters

I honestly still dont get why respawn changed the way you see the ranks of everyone in the lobby, before you could see all 60 players's rank, knowing if there are, 3, 6, 9, 12, etc preds or masters in your lobby, since a lot of time shows 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 SQUADS with at least 1 pred or master, or dia, etc which means, you no longer know if in your lobby that show 2 preds, 3 masters, 10 dias, 5 plats really means 2 pred players and 5 master players or 6 pred players and 15 master players, its really a dumb idea to do that, in that case just show everyone the rank of each player of every squad, to know exactly if there are 1 or more preds in a squad, etc.

And about the thing of splitting the players, instead of 5 pred squads while being 6 pred players, it should always be 6 pred squads out of 6 pred players, same with masters, there should not be any dia squad because that means there are no masters or preds in their squad, only dias.

The idea of showing the best rank of every squad should go along seeing how many players are in each rank in that lobby is good. So you could see in game, "6 predators" and see 6 squads with predators and instantly know that each squad have 1 predator, never 2 or more. But it doesnt work that way, so its not better than the OG style of showing all 60 players neither that of showing the amount of players for each rank.

17% of a full premade squad winning over a soloQ one is NOT much (and I'm a soloQ-player), even as a soloQ-player I think it's dumb to not allow players to team up with their peers!!

they shld add a top 50 or top 100 as a whole new rank wit a different badge name n allat shi b fye wtmm

Duo + fill wins more than trio because you only have to coordinate and trust your duo and the solo will follow most of the time. And that is much easier than having to three people having to babysit two others constantly

Even if Cheaters ruin the game that wont fix the issue . what will fix the issue is they stop shrinking my enemy hitbox  when im totally invested 85 bullets in His Arse and still""  has "1 hp left  !! thats the real Issue !! and when you down them its even worst ..

2nd.. Real Issue ..
remove dead slides  .
And the game will naturally have movement .

The problem with many diamonds that que in teams is that they face 3 stack preds. If they would only face diamonds a three stack is nice but not necessary. If they would implement it that player only solo que from masters and higher things would maybe change.

During the solo Que test I just played a different competitive game cause solo Que did nothing but bring about the same issues that happen in fill squads, as a diamond player I got diamond teammates and pred players got pred teammates so they still steam rolled the lobbies
