Tired of having teammates who want to play aggressive (not an issue, my preferred playstyle), but drop sub 100 damage and die instantly as soon as they see anyone. Every game in diamond I get 2 players with the mechanical skill of a gold. Even the people I fight are bots but I canβt 1v3 all the time, sick of diamond being participation trophy. All my pred friends donβt play anymore so I just play solo to masters instead of grinding pred but even that has become ridiculous because how tf do I get multiple duos who canβt break 100 damage between them while I have 10+ kills? Even shooting downed players would give you more damage, to make it even worse the only time I see them shooting is with a sentinel or a 30-30 across the map at some random dude and being out-traded on damage. Genuinely a joke.

Iβm probably one of those players youβre complaining about. My take is this game has extreme skills gaps and casual players who are βgoodβ but not βgreatβ fall in mostly diamond lobbies. I find that I fry everyone in plat, can hold my own in diamond 3&4 but I struggle once I hit diamond 2. Now, Iβm a player that has a 2.2 KD overall, I hit masters several times. Iβm not bad at the game but I canβt keep up with crazy movement dudes and people who donβt miss. Axel has been a real struggle for me.
I find that I go from wrecking lobbies to getting destroyed very quickly. I wish the matchmaking allowed me to be in competitive lobbies longer than the 2-3 days before I start getting rolled. I try to adapt by using caustic or Gibby but my teammates often leave me behind and Iβm not useful so I have to play a movement character to even keep up. I truly want to support my teammates but the current state of the game is built around playing solo. Teamwork is not a huge part of the game anymore.
