i wish my MMR would not be 5 stars
It literally destroys all the fun playing with these people. Every match full off people camping with long ammo 100 metres away and just waiting in some bush for 20 minutes. Dudes camping the exits literally doing nothing but just camping the exits ..... And those headshots those nonsensical headshots that people do. Seeing how much people suck including myself in other games there is no way on this earth some of those headshots are legit. Best part there is no way to know if they are hacking or not. I can barelly hit a dude my teamates can barely see the dudes and that some random dude just pops headshots left and right either with some sniper or while spraying with a pistol. In 5 star matches or higher you cant even play properly. Every match is full of those sweaty dirty people that camp the bushes like getting the bounty will literally guarantee food for their family. You get these random nonsensical headshots who knows from where. People across the team antisocial as well you cant speak communicate with each other this is hunt showdown other people can hear you right? I wish i could like downrank MMR somehow playing with these sweaty tryhards is too annoying.

At the same time im wondering why quickplay does not have option to match you with other equally skilled players ?
In some of the matches i had guys that have 1 MMR have 3 MMR and cant even hit the dude if they see him infront of them, on the other hand there is always that 6 star MMR dude that traded his own parents for the sake of aim and just sits on the roof on top of the church jumps around and headshots people left and right.

Imagine being in 1-3 MMR dude in those matches how on earth is it enjoyable for that person in those matches.

I wish quickplay was skill-based...

If you really wanna tank your mmr just keep going into quick play any dying. I think it still works if i'm not mistaken. Might take a while to do though.

Other than that the only other suggestion I have is when you find yourself up against those types of players don't play their games. Make them play yours. If i'm running a short range load out and I find myself going up against those sweaty bush wookies I will disengage and just run the long way to where I need to get. Or if I'm on bounty and they're just staying far out rotating looking for their shots I'll just sit inside and alt tab and watch some youtube while I wait for them to get bored and push in.

If you are playing in 5 star and don't belong there you will fall back out. That is how the system works. If you are not... then you are where you are supposed to be in the MMR lineup.
You might just be better than you give yourself credit for.

Another post about people who can actually play the game, lol. Adapt or move along.
As a player who bounces between 4-5 stars...

♥♥♥♥ 5-star Lobbies. Everyone is either a Crackshot and will dome you the moment they see you. Or they will crouch walk through an entire compound with a shotgun.

3-4 stars are more interesting. more movement, More of a fight. Faster-paced and more intense.

that will never stop. Ever since long ammo became meta at the end of EA this has been what hunt is all about. As you get better in the game you realize just how higher the skill ceiling is with long ammo full pen high velocity hitscan weapons. Shotguns and duels and such might dominate the meta at lower elo but at 6 star it has been the same meta and gameplay the last 4 years. Long ammo headshot -> long ammo double tap body. Its quite boring.

i think the brackets should be wider in 5 star elo, but that would make matchmaking more tedious i guess.
I also bounce betweeen 4 and 5 stars and in 5 stars results may vary a lot XD

I've seen a few people claim this whole "Long ammo Meta" - What ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ meta? Lol. What, You're dying because they had a Longer range weapon? There is no 'meta' to Long ammo. if anything, it's a Shotgun meta. I've died far more often to someone with a shotgun than I have a Long ammo weapon.

The entire game boils down to what weapon does better in what situation. Are long Ammo weapons good? Heck yes they are. But they also have very little ammo. Higher recoil/Lower RPM, or cost a LOT. If the user dies, they're down 4-600HD's for a gun alone.

It's Not a meta. It's just a preference and them haviing the cash to afford such.

The meta shifts the higher MMR you go. Shotguns are relatively easy with a low skill ceiling which is why you see them a lot in lower MMR, but once your into the higher 5* mmr's and 6* the meta definitely shifts to the high skill ceiling long ammo weapons where everybody is going for the OHK shots to the head. Also when you have more consistent team mates who can also hit shots when you do body shot there's a higher chance your pal if going to hit them for the double tap which is another common way to die.

Couldn't agree more sometimes you just need to force someone into a game of your own lol
