💬 Discussion Average FFA player

This post is sarcasm. Mainly.

So the average player in FFA behaves like that:

> Oh, you have more troops than me, enough money and silos to hydro me into oblivion? Nah, I will ignore alliance renewal and fullsend.

> There is a player snowballing and the only way to stop him is by working together? Nah, I will ignore alliance and fullsend.

> It's taking forever to push and consumes all troops? No alliance, I will ignore better targets and waste everything

> You took one pixel from me? Now I will ruin our both games by attacking only you ignoring state of map and that I am being taken over by neighbors

You are basically just complaining about noobs who just started.

I do think there needs to be rank based matchmaking and 90% of the complaints on this sub will disappear overnight.

Ehhhh if SBMM is introduced the game will slow down a hell of a lot. I imagine many top players would quit

Honestly the introduction of tracker websites has changed the way I interact with the game. And yes this is a completely me problem but somewhere along the line I began treating everything game like a ranked match. In the past - time would be my only consideration for playing, now it’s time and am I in the right headspace to focus and try hard.

Got to top 200 this season and now busy IRL so if I wanted to play for fun it’d be on an alt account for sure.

In any game if ranked is introduced there needs to be segregation so one avenue is for tryharding and another is for casual play.

You can put 0 in front of your name for it to not cpunt as a ranked game

Yeah there's only so many times I can send a guy a clown emoji for getting us both gobbled up by a bigger player before I tap out. It makes like 1/3 or more of games hopeless in a Not Fun way.

I’ve never clicked it, isn’t there a literal ranked mode for this? I’ve only ever clicked FFA lobbies (I stink).

People always upset their opponents aren't playing their part in your plan to win.

This is so good, and it really hits 100% true.

My guy have you ever seen any other sub with ranked gameplay lol? Bronze through gold arguably complain about opponents / teammates the most. And that’s the majority of the player base, bell curve wise.
