Started a new topic: Solo competitive?(2 Replies))

you know, back in the day, back in the early halo days like halo 2 and halo 3, we could actually talk to one another in game, freely. and even here and talk to the opponent . but alas toxic levels soared to all new heights and it was removed the trend has been since then to not have chat in fps games because people just dont know how to act. i was thinking the other day what it would be like today if they had chat in destiny and fortnite, and then it struck me, it would be like the aids filled lobbies of h1z1, i thought i heard everything in the halo days. heck no, h1z1 lobbies took the crown

If they split up the queues the whole thing would fall apart. Fireteams would have to fight other fireteams, and a large majority of them would absolutely hate being in a fair fight.

Obligatory GIT GUD :-)

[quote]Now I'm gonna start off by saying no, I don't always solo play and a fair bit of the time I've got a bud or three who can que with with me. However, getting matched up with 3 solo players against a full clan fireteam of 4 in competitive...well...that is absolutely punishing for a mode that has no radar and limited lives. Now, if you still gained progress towards your glory points regardless...maybe I could say its not so bad, and which is why in quickplay its w/e move onto a better game. But at the same time I can't because well, why is it fair that anyone gets grouped up against random people who aren't going to bother communicating and has to fight full teams who are on PSN, Xbox chat, or discord or w/e a group may use, and gets punished because they have to play 3 times harder than normal for a statistically lower chance to win just to maintain positive points, a win streak, or otherwise. I don't see any incentive to go grind glory solo when the last 6 matches I played against were me and 3 other solo players fighting a fireteam of 4, doing our damnest but still getting absolutely crushed because the fireteam has a instant edge in familiarity with each other and communication and get punished the same way if I lost a much more fair game of all solo players. Not to mention god forbid a game gets won against a fireteam well we receive again, the exact same rewards for beating a team of solos. I can see a lot of solo hardcore pvp players getting disintrested in playing the game now because they can't make any fair progress in competitive against the slough of fireteams they have to fight. I'm fine with the implementation of a ranked system and the way it works is pretty neat too, but it shouldn't be punishing to solo que players. Personally I'd like to see the return of a a que list that only solo players can go into for a fair que environment. This gives an option to those ultra "I can fight a whole team" hardcore types to keep chugging themselves at fireteams while the more "I'd like a fair fight" minded people can have a place to que into and not worry. Something seriously needs to change in the matchmaking and what that change is likely will not be perfect but something needs to be done for the solo player community to at least make crucible fair game for all.[/quote] For people who're sick of reading a giant wall of text without any spaces In between.

Not me. I'm gonna be the first solo player to obtain Redrix's Claymore

I figured out what's wrong right now with PvP. As of the expansion update, it's trying too hard to be D1 PvP despite having the weapon system of D2. It's already drilled into everyone's minds that team shooting is the way to play so giving everyone insta-killing weapons has only made things worse. More than half the games I play are miserable and the rest are probably miserable for the enemy team as well. The game rubber bands except sometimes it takes hours for the game to finally give you that one team capable of playing an objective game to win, just so you can lose the next 10. I and others I've seen and spoken to have records similar to that of a 1 win to roughly 10-15 losses. That's not on at all, I play solo because I have nobody who will play with me because they feel that matchmaking is harsh with me, but that can't be in CBMM can it?

Played 5 or 6 games of IB last night solo, every match against a stacked team of 6 -_- Safe to say I lost every game and my KD went down the toilet.

I agree man, D2's crucible is so gay because everyone has to hold each others nuts to win.
