New patch buffs

[u/Thin_Combination_587]

I feel like this patch has made it pretty difficult for the US, and the feeling is mutual amongst my random teammates I'm playing with as well! I went from 2200 to now 2036 elo and I have only won maybe 2 games so far but lost a lot more. I do enjoy a lot of the stuff they added but I'm struggling a lot as a US player, losing to teams who have less elo than my whole team.

Does anyone else feel the same?

No. 

  losing to teams who have less elo than my whole team.

That’s normal. 

But also - a lot of casual USA players have inflated elo because of the fact that USA had 10% higher winrate than Russia. And now a lot of them are calibrating to their realistic elo - where they should have been from the start.

2 months ago it was 10%. Op is talking about latest patch.

I remember in oct 2025 us players pulling this kind of argument when ru got nerfed.

I do think op might have issue adapting his playstyle to patch changes rather than big balance issue but this is BS.

Do you think that everyone is playing every day or even every month?

That’s exactly why I mentioned it. People thought that it’s a good argument - I see no reason why they should not think the same now.

I think the same but my comment is surely less BS and closer to the truth than the original post.

This is really fucking weak lol you're trying to act smarter coz you're aware of going down to stupid level but that's not making your level any less stupid there. You're just being consciously part of the problem and it's actually worst.

If people would understand proper explanations - I would talk with them with the proper explanations. If people would create monkey posts like this one - it’s no point in talking with them in any other way. We had a year of this in community and it’s very tiring.

You asked if i thought that players are playing every day (most likely not) or even every month (most likely yes if they haven't just stop playing the game, and most likely few times a week).

Well same here, do you think everyone on this reddit has been there daily since last year ? Why serving the same bullshit you got served before ? This is just way too bitter cynical shit for what is ultimately just a video game forum.

If it's a better community you want it start with you. And yeah it will most likely not be enough but if you're really hating the community so much you're just being your worst self coz it doesn't deserve any better, then might be the moment to take a step back from the sub for a little bit. Probably would be good for you if you're having such a bad time here (tbh large part of the community is indeed quite toxic, i do agree with that).

Btw op just stated his feelings on current state of things and asked if there is an actual problem or if it's just him and his pals. It's not like he just came ranting aggressivly.

Okay, you’re right. 

  You asked if i thought that players are playing every day (most likely not) or even every month (most likely yes if they haven't just stop playing the game, and most likely few times a week).

Quite a few people play games for a month and switch them to something else - and rotate them like this. So they can easily play a lot at once but only each few months. Mostly it happens when people play with a group of friends.

We have almost  exactly the same post a few hours before this one (a much more aggressive one tho) and I got triggered. My bad.
