Solo play is terrible

[Virtus]

Terrible matchmaking with teammates where you can double if not triple their scores of your 2 teammates combined. But my honest biggest gripe is voice chat just doesn't work and or no ones uses it. I don't need to tell you comms are an absolute must, it sucks the fun. I can also guarantee most people don't use comms because of how buggy and unusually difficult it is to use.

agreed

[KripTed]

Blame SBMM.

Get some friends

1) Turn On Voice
2) Check voice chat output device (it can be defaulted to a wrong one).

Ive encountered plenty of ppl talking and im playing on the notoriously silent EU servers with all the different language where everyone is scared to talk english.

Edit: Solo queue teammates arent THAT bad, won a ranked tournament in Silver with two randoms like two hours ago.

[Crusty]

ya they should add some solo players mode
this matchmaking should kill good game

[Goblins]

even worse in ranked, it's pairing bronze with diamond players. hopefully once the holidays are wrapped up a fix will come out fast.

lmao SBMM ♥♥♥♥♥♥ this game hard. I was actually having fun in quickplay and winning like 30-40% of my games. Now I lose 9/10 if not more and when I do win it just feels stressful. Idiots don't even play the objective and try to go into every fight 1 v 3.

I feel your pain, man. Same exact experience here. It's one of those games where the first 2-3+ hours are awesome, then it starts dumping you into one impossible scenario after another.

This is besides the point. I am aware how the vc works but it simply just doesn't work as intended and or people don't use it as I stated. You winning a few games doesn't give a meaningful reputable to my own experience(s). Simply winning doesn't prove/disapprove anything as people can win whilst carrying the whole team on their back. The problem still stands.

I just came on here to see if people were complaining about playing a team based fps pvp game solo, and yup they are. Haven't any of you learned yet? Team based pvp games should only be played with a group if the game doesn't offer a true solo only queue. Thanks for confirming my general idea of what was 99.9% going to be the case with this game and saving me from wasting my time.

Agree to an extent. I have played with some teammates who are short a few fuses, but I will also say, I am willing to bet the majority of people are not communicating and coordinating with their random teammates either which makes it out worst than it is. Communication in these types of games is important. Don't expect to win against a team who is communicating when you're with random teammates who have VOIP off.

quick play should be split between solo queue and group queue, anything else is pure abuse of the player base

[Gamefreak]

Yep. The SBMM change made it even worse because now if you do well as a solo, your reward is playing against two premade enemy teams with two bots on your team who can barely hit 1k damage.

This is why humanity is doomed I think. We need to relearn the same lesson over and over again. The issues existed in other games. Overwatch, HOTS. It is not fun to play solo against pre made groups. You have almost no chance against them. I don't mind losing but I would at least like to have a competitive chance to win.

But we need to relearn this again.

I think there should be a solo que elo and a team que elo. If I play with my friends and win a lot, then when they get off, I get steamrolled by premades.
