Why is everyone so good at this game

[CCore]

I kid you not, I've lost the past 7 games, and went negative in every single one. I would say that I'm pretty decent at FPS games. Not amazing but not bad either. But why does the game keep putting me against people who are so clearly way better than me, yet it almost never goes the other way (i.e the game putting me against people worse than me).

It literally feels like everyone is trying for the CoD league or something. Like I said, I'm not amazing at FPS titles, I'm just decent. My main FPS is Overwatch, and I've hit masters on DPS there. And in titanfall, my KD was around 2.4, yet in this game it seems impossible to even maintain a 1kd, since the matchmaker is so insistent on putting me in completely unbalanced games.

I'm sitting at about a 1.6 k/d and 2.2 w/l (and growing). Just gotta get more use to the flow of the maps. 'Nade spots, timings, common locations to pre-aim etc.

Dang. My W/L ratio is 0.92 right now. My KD is currently 0.96 but that's in part due to the fact I was levelling launchers yesterday. Before that it was about 1.07.

Its not hard to be good at the game, just jump around, spawn camp and snipe from the other side of the map while mounted.

Yeah that's a big issue I think with this game since it forces you to use a multitude of other guns instead of just using one or a few you genuinely like. Doing that has thrown me off compared to past CoD games.

Again though once you get use to the flow of the maps it gets easier to start doing better. I also recommend playing with friends who also care to win (without being toxic with it ofc.

Its mostly due to the fact that console players have been given an actual aimbot in this COD. Most people that use tweaked settings can push one button and aim chest - head in under 2 frames. Also, they have horizontal assist now which means that as long as they strafe, their crosshair will automatically lock onto any moving target without them even having to touch the aim stick. M&K players are literally playing against a machine in every match that is creating artificial skill for console players. The worst console players are now as good as the top 20% of M&K players.

first 10 seconds shows horizontal assist. Most controller players will sit there ADS and strafe back and forth allowing it to just jump lock to targets for easy kills. It normally obvious to see these people since they have terrible crosshair placement but push 1 button to win most fights.

Your stats are not bad, and they will improve on their own by just playing a lot,

In Halo, everyone is placed in a match with similar skill. In CoD they just plop everyone in together. Both systems have merits.

Pre-aim, use meta guns(M4, Scar, Fennec, Vaznev), don't run around like a chicken with your head cut off. I'm a 500spm Hardpoint only player with a 2 w/l and 1.7 k/d.

You can definitely improve your stats in this game if you focus at it. There's going to be lobbies where they stack the deck against you badly but in my experience it's a rare occasion and when it happens I just leave to avoid the frustration of playing with five bots against a full stack on the other team rotating early and uav spamming.

What if these "Fuase bans" were from people abusing the aim assist lmao

[Mr.Stoj]

Because they played cod back in the day so they are use to the gameplay.

[Corporal Shephard]

because people use the same meta guns/loadouts every single game since launch. They forgo objectives and camp the best spots with the most meta weapon for the job.

This is CoD so not like I expect people to care about the objective, just kinda silly when they're in a corner with dual snake shot/iron sight snipers 80m from the site.

To me the game is waaaaay more fun when its a cluster ♥♥♥♥ of players trying to take a point or fight in close proximity against each other, as opposed to spawning running 2 seconds and then getting aim-botted by a console kid with a iron sight sawed off sniper rifle lmao

It 100% possible, on the higher end of the scale where people are using tweaked settings that perfectly match their playstyle, its very common to see people using battle rifles and just 2 tapping head back to back. I have seen someone on controller go 53 - 3 only dying to grenades, end every kill was a headshot. When tweaked right the aim assist looks exactly like an aimbot, speaking from experience since im banned on CSGO for a reason. To be fair, I report these people since its almost impossible to tell. But yes, the aim assist has been ramped up to a point that its rare to see mediocre controller players which is a heavy portion of the playerbase. M&K players are typically outmatched.

[Monk]

Note that those saying they have very high k:d etc failed to clarify if they are on mouse and keyboard or yding a controller like the majority of even pc players are using now.

If you are on m+k'd (like I am) you basically have to play at the top of your game to match bad controller players with the aimbot, sorry, aim assist correctly set up.

Vs a good player with a corectly setup controller, you'd better be a top tier player to even stay positive.

That or camp / ignore objectives, use all the cheese and crutches like a lil female dog lol.

If you wish to use anything but the top guns ir stuff you are good with, which, to get unlocks, you need to, just don't look at your k:d and try to have fun.

[^1SubtraX™]

your answer is SBMM

[SwayzeRIP]

Ignore the people who talk about SBMM, that is not the reason. I am a M/K player that normally finished top three almost every game and has fun playing. I do the following.

1. Find a weapon you enjoy that fits "your" play-style. Different weapons fit different users play-style, such as aggressive, passive, camping etc. ; Do they have shield abusers? OK put on the maltov or RPG set. Then blast your way out.

2. Just play and learn the maps. You will never improve if you do not just play maps and get a general understanding of choke points and where your typical player will go. Most people when in game will do the same thing over and over. So once you are in a lobby watch to see where certain players hide and you can expect them there time after time.

3. Set the filter to modes you enjoy, I really only enjoy obj based game play so I never play TDM as example.

4. Learn how to outsmart people in game by watching the mini map, using sound, and again just knowing the general layout of the map. An example is using claymores, when you spawn, drop one at a door and run the opposite way, never go the way you placed the claymore. You will get kills and those count towards KS rewards.

5. Set up keybinds that are comfortable to you. This is one of the biggest quality of life improvements is having button config that makes your play-style seamless. I use a naga and having that mapped is amazing more so than even using the controller to me. I don't care about aim assist when I can fly through a map and shoot people because they can hardly turn to hit me.

6. Just play. If you are a functional adult with a brain you will improve, but you have to be willing to understand you are not the GOD gamer you might think you are. You can sometimes find tp/trick videos on youtube that are helpful or watch a good streamer like the Doc or Lupo I would recommend not tryin gto learn from people like XqC who base their play-style on being borderline mentally ill. (To each their own) Play aggressive at first, run around and attempt to kill everyone and see what fits. You will start to figure out what works and what doesn't.

7. When you find a kit you like then just run it and have fun and tweak it from there. Play and do what you have fun with and don't feel the need to cater to anyone. Good luck.
