Cheating in ranked???

[THEVISITOR]

Admittedly, i am a pretty mid player, though i play quite a lot. however, ranked has been utterly miserable. full loadout of damage in seemingly one hit, and sweaty COD player type aim. i mean, seriously, i remember ranked in season one, it was LONG and way way less deaths. i average 11 deaths and maybe 1 or 2 elims now. i feel pretty useless every match we play. i've seen upwards of 17 elims for some people. the max ive hit was 10 - and it was a lot of luck and in a casual match NOT ranked. tf are these people doing that i'm not???? aim assist?!

Ranked in the ARCADE shooter is miserable?

Ranked in all online games is the same, I don't even bother with it. Unless you're a click-baiter trying to get views because of your rank I don't see the reason to 'cause in the end, it means absolutely nothing.

Ranked is miserable due to cheating, yes. BLATANT cheaters in literally all but one ranked game I've played this season. Honestly hope the game dies a fast death if they don't fix the issue.

Probably diamond 1 players and sweaty tryhards ranking back up in your matches. I average 10 kills per game and my highest was 20 or so

I'd count you as a tryhard with that average! :)

So my gold teammates get 0 kills and the other golds get 10+ with 10k damage? Literally insta killing heavies while flying on a jump pad? NOPE

Also the ranking is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ trash. My buddy I play with that I consistently, and he admits/knows, I do better than is ranked 6 FING ranks higher than me. Game is pretty trash

Of course it's trash. How can some code judge how good you are at a game and rate you adequately? It can't, at least not in a way that would otherwise make bad players rank bad, in which case nobody would play it 'cause bad players are like 98% of gamers.

Some games do pretty well. Combining individual performance with team performance/how much you win by. This game does an exceptionally poor job. Ranking systems have been around a long time. Making excuses for a really poor one makes me wonder if you've played any/many ranked games.

The cheater problem will remain a problem until the game dies, which will be soon because we're almost back to pre season 2 numbers. On a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Friday. The amount of cheaters I've seen already just griefing the new mode is hilarious. They try to hide it but it's painfully obvious wallhacks is still a thing. Same with softaim. I've only seen one rage hacker so far, beats every second game like it used to be. Boy was I ever right about season 2 being make or break. Nice knowing you, Finals. ♥♥♥♥ went downhill faster than Titanfall 2, and they still hit 10k on steam (not counting northstar client).

Honestly feel like this is accurate. I didn't want this. I want this game to do well. It just doesn't deserve to if they do nothing about the extremely high percentage of blatant cheaters. It actually deserves to do the opposite of well.
