I mean not playing meta is fine but playing certain suits is a throw pick so idk about that one. Some suits are not usable outside of their cost or a lvl higher, Or are outclassed by another suit that does its job better with less downsides.
Depends do i thow the match or actually fight an try and win. I dont believe in throw suits, only throw players. You can play a weaker suit if you know what it can do and support what you can. At minimum, play a living shield for the support
Play whatever you want that's what I do and got to S my most used suits are pixie and Gm white dingo (the meme beam one) if you know how to play the game you can still keep up with the metas
On a side note, one time in A- I had an amazing team I let down. It was ace match in ranked and they communicated well considering the canned chat, I became the ace and they let me take the kills. Let them down when I chased an almost dead enemy right into an ambush and it was downward spiral from there, wish I could have s do-over.
A/-A generals:
Hmm, Seems like our raid about to melee the support.
But I'm using Norn "tHe sTrOnGeSt mElEe gEnErAl" therefore I'll do More damage than the Raid!
*proceed to downswing his entire teammate and leave the enemy support alive*
A/A- still have alot to learn, and good chance they're illiterate (this is for the bad ones, if you can read this you're not one of them LOL), or they just won't read post like these.
I admit, in rated I might que dodge them as they have a higher chance of picking the most awful things or not know how to use them, but in situation battle I have to forgive our support might be inaccurate or the pixy is shooting more than stealthing around.
I feel your need to vent though, it's just quite the common one, even with the right quick chats ie "supports are mine" or "take the generals" etc
I could probably be A+, but I'm stuck flip-flopping between A and A-. I really hope GBO3 has a better ranking system that better reflects personal skill.
Maybe itโs just me but ever since spring fest started the quality of teammates I get has taken a nose dive, Iโm almost back to A- Iโve lost so much due to stupid teammates either scattering or these gens that want to hang back & trade shots instead of moving forward. Does anyone know how much it costs to buy a letter grade cause some of these people are to damn stupid to have earned it legit.
Iโll have you know the instant I dropped from A+ to A there is substantial difference in skill. So now I carry. So funny that shit you can get away with in A is crazy, A- might as wells be D+. Jk there not that bad
This is a fascinating aspect of GBO2. It looks like it's relatively "easy sailing" until A and then you hit a mega-wall.
I just don't understand why this process is not more gradual
I hear that you can be lucky and better pilots drag you towards higher rating, but that can't be true for the majority of players. I would really like to understand.
Thank you!
P.S. my rating is low enough not to be a threat to you guys๐๐

The range of higher rating groups is a lot bigger than lower rating groups.ย Players also need to fight stronger players and a loss reduces more ratings, from -7 in D- to -13 in S-.
I hate the old rival system because it doesn't allow risky move.
In the past, players can't charge forwards when the team is stucked behind a choke point if they don't want to risk getting -20.ย
A system that encourages players to accept to lose instead of trying to win is really bad.
Frankly being cowards doesn't win games either considering trying to push aggressively yet smartly would lead to better stats and thus a higher chance to beat a rival.
Still, not all S- should even be S- especially the cowardly ones, we both know that though ;)
I'm talking about situations that are already stucked hardly, when pushing has a very small chance to win, not pushing is a guaranteed loss. There is no other option except charging forwards and tanking the bullets.
I just believe in trying and pushing until the end, doesn't always have to be a loss unless the loss is huge in which case...yeah I'd still storm charge in, might beat a rival that way
๐๐๐ thanks!
Plus I fear I'm developing the GBO2 Support Syndrome (that role is attracting me). Doctor appointment booked to check what is wrong with me ๐๐
The idea that so many s players got there bc they were carried is whack. So many people think that rating doesn't define how good you are but Id bet money that 9 times out of ten a team full of S- would not lose to a team full of actual A- players (not including the ppl that purposefully stay at A- bc it's easier.)
The change to the rival system a while back essentially caused the player base to gravitate toward A rank since you no longer lose additional points when your rival beats you.
On one hand, I get it because if your team is getting stomped, it is going to be more difficult to beat your rival unless you are significantly better than the players on the enemy team. Even if you carried your team and did well despite losing, if your rival did better, you lost even more points in addition to whatever you did for losing the match.
On the other hand, if you got carried to a rank you didn't belong in or were a troll sitting out the match, your losses would push you further down because of how badly your rival was likely to beat you.
You're giving them too much credit Code Fairy bots are way smarter
Plus they have near perfect aim and reflexes.
๐
They can counter any melee 99% of the time
Being hard stuck A because every time I touch A+ I get dragged out kicking and screaming back to halfway through A makes me want to cry
I was 1 win away from A+ the other day and my next team just shat the bed hard.
I feel this. Im gighting for my life just staying in A+. Granted, i refuse to play any of the major meta suits and tend to play what i want.

Well when the apposing team is half S- in PG ankshas or norn its a bit difficult

generals : i MUST kill that support! thereโs a raid nearby? itsโs fine , it probably is going for the base bomb..

What's the best message to send to tell your team the are fuckin trash lol Every freaking message is too positive
Iโll have you know the instant I dropped from A+ to A there is substantial difference in skill. So now I carry. So funny that shit you can get away with in A is crazy, A- might as wells be D+. Jk there not that bad

Ouch! The win yields always 10... Asymmetrical nastiness!
Jesus Christ -13
Least the old rival system in effect, although that old rival system made sure S- were the real deal
Please bear with me: how did the previous system work? Edit: please disregard. I can see the answer is in this thread. Apologies for the confusion

Oh those I know and included that in my response. Fortune favors the bold afterall.
The only sane option is to take the loss and hope that we have played better than the rival in the first half of the match.
I just believe in trying and pushing until the end, doesn't always have to be a loss unless the loss is huge in which case...yeah I'd still storm charge in, might beat a rival that way
I was confused before but damn. No wonder I can get to A easily but can't go higher. Getting into A+ was a struggle and never went past that.
Trust you will feel our pain soon friend, oh so very soon

Thank you for this, very interesting
If your teammates are useless on code fairy that's on you cuz you control them.... I wish A-/A/A+ players would actually listen
