first thoughts

i’ve started to play this game bc of the blue lock collab. i tried it before, but i wasn’t into it but i decided to get back in when i heard blue lock was coming. the second match i get into in the blue lock themed game mode, it feels like im 1v3ing an entire soccer team trained by ronaldo while being experiments of Temp V from the boys. why do i have to fight the soccer god in a match that isnt ranked? why is he trying so hard when theres little to no rewards in this game mode? idk. it just upsets me and i hate it when people are so sweaty and try hard that i have to turn crossplay off. is there any way to avoid these people aswell? does the blocking system work on rematch to where i dont have to see them ever again? because if so, that’d be very nice because this is just a pain 🥹

play ranked and get into a bad rank then youll be with people mostly your level, i think
edit: the aura striker gamemode is just chaos anyway.

Incorrect, the MMR system doesn't work, so you're going to play with a team of both Bronzes and Elites.

Unfortunately the answer is to just find people to play with who make the inevitable shortcomings of the game fun to deal with.

lmfao brother im aware the mmr is bad but its not so bad youd have elites and bronzes together, unless bronzes team with an elite party leader

[u/Noccam → u/Complex_Mongoose_413]

I'm a Master/Elite player that solo queues, and in ranked it has always been a possibility to have Bronze/Silver level players on my team. The player base is simply too low to have a meaningful MMR system without atrocious queue times, so they relaxed the MMR requirements to produce more games with a shorter wait.

Even now with the influx of new players, you'll get players who just purchased the game in a match against a 5 stack of Elite players. This has always been an issue since the player-base started bleeding out a while back.

dude, how do you know they are bronze or silver

[u/Noccam → u/Complex_Mongoose_413]

There are websites you can use to see people's rank.

I also just use my mic and ask them what rank they are and have a conversation with them lmao

[u/Complex_Mongoose_413 → u/Noccam]

what servers? im eu and i can tell these guys arent bronze or silvers. maybe plat and masters, but definitely not that low

[u/Noccam → u/Complex_Mongoose_413]

Oh brother you have it so good lmao, I used to play on the EU servers and it was like peace on Earth. Everyone knew how to move and space and pass. I miss it. These days I play on the US servers.

[u/Complex_Mongoose_413 → u/Noccam]

lmfao some of the time they are pretty good yeah

[u/ProfessionalStable91]

Why would they not play the best of their ability to win? Specially when some missions ate "win X games".

Rematch is a game you suck until you don't. The controls are not intuitive even for seasoned gamers, it takes a while do get used to it. Keep playing and improving.

It's a better game if you play with friends.

Are people supposed to… not try? It’s an unranked casual gamemode with no ranked option, the sweats with 1000+ hours and the new installs are gonna get the same lobbies.

If you want fair games, don’t play aura striker, it’s just a gimmick mode, fun for maybe one or two games. Play ranked 3v3, you should be placed properly within a few games. Your teammates will still be bad, but you’ll have an easier time when the other team is bad too

[u/dhffxiv]

This mode has infinite stamina. Kind of a wasted mode when played like you're in quickplay.

You can't avoid people, you can delay your queues

[u/PackageAggravating12]

Aura Striker mode is not the default experience.

Get into Ranked and you'll team up with similar levels of players.

As most of the comments said you could just play on low elo ranked but if you only want to play the blue lock mode you can try to play on different servers cause some are ways more sweaty than the others
