not friendly with new players

[Marin Batranu]

for a new player it is impossible to enjoy this game, as you will face so many good players which will kill you instantly.
something has to be done in the ranking system, otherwise new players will be out before they've even started.

So, you're upset that you're getting killed by players who put more hours into an online multiplayer game?

...........

What did you expect?! Was you expecting to come in here and be good at the game right from the start? Also, I call ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about how this game is impossible to enjoy as a brand new player. Do the math, every single person that plays this game was once a brand new player.

Play the game more, learn from your mistakes, and get better. It's not rocket science...

You should play normal matches, not ranked matches. Normal matches have bots in them and usually newcomers are paired with several bots to help them getting acquainted with the game (I know by direct experience with a new squad member). The more hours you play, the less bots there will be; once the game "presumes" you are skilled, there will be only a few bots in your game. When you reach this point, the only way you can learn and get better is to keep playing. You either keep playing royal battles or arcade team death matches: unfortunately a better matchmaking is not option because of an allegedly low players base.

I agree with OP. Very steep barrier to entry. REALLY have to want to play this game and put up with all the negative ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ to continue to play it. Unless you are really good, with a specific play style, most games on big maps are a complete waste of time for new players.

You have to REALLY REALLY want to play this game and get good in order to deal with all the negative aspects the game has to offer

I'm not upset to be killed by players that already have thousands of hours of playing this game....it should be like that.
The problem I see is that you can't place a player that has 10 hours with one that has 1-2-3000 hours in the same game.....it's unfair....and you stand no chance.
I was expecting a fair ranking system....where you can play with noobs like me....and get better at it.

it takes so long to get ranked you can't be a new player

Agree.... you really have to like this game...
I find it nice and also the big maps does not bother me... the only problem is the unfair matchmaking where you stand no chance as a new player....

yes...you are right.... it takes too much time to get to ranking modes.... and I guess that the rank modes are only for experienced players.... it should be for all players

At 38 hours I wrote my review - "fun, but I am bad." I had not won a single game of PUBG at the time.

Now at almost 400 hours my win rate in solo fpp unranked is about 11%

I agree the game is not friendly to new players, but it is a really straightforward game mechanics wise. Only a few options in every fight, you just have to learn what they are. I enjoyed the game too much to give up, and that is who this game is for

You just said that a new player should lose to a person who has more hours in the game, and yet, you also comeback with it's not fair for a new player to lose to a better player???

Wow. My head hurts...

what is wrong with you? I didn't say that...
I was complaining about the ranking system.... and that there is a problem putting the "noob" player with the "pro" player in the same match....

Well, we don't have enough players for a better fair match making.
In EU Fpp Sqaud ranked, there are two different pools.

One is for low ranks and one for high but it also depends on the daytime.
If the system can't find enough players, all have to play together no matter which rank they have.

Tbh, I felt the same as you. I tried Warzone and Apex and they are just more fun than PUBG for new Players ngl, both games have that new players queue balance PUBG lacks

It usually takes 50 hours before you even grasp the basics in this game.

I'd say in a way this game is pretty new user friendly. If you can shoot first you most likely will win cause you need not that much hits to bring someone down. So if you catch an experienced player by surprise he has not much time to react.

That sounds plausible but it doesn't change the other facts and how to control the guns properly is necessary to kill.

The biggest problem for new players in PUBG is, we don't have an SBMM, "Skill base matchmaking", because PUBG wasn't made for that aspect like other BR's and it's too late to change the game.

You need a very huge playerbase for several skill pools all the time.
I'm pretty sure they will add SBMM in PUBG 2.

PUBG is new player friendly for those who also played other shooters befor. but for real newbies it isn't.
