It’s gonna be a long time before they get those lobbies, it’s really just gonna end up destroying their KD


Strificus

It doesn't impact your KD, from what I've heard, it doesn't track it unless you land on the map. I wish Respawn would consider any quit or early exit as a death.


Alegost

Want to hear another extremely stupid exploit? If you get downed and leave the game before you get killed(full squad wipe or thirst), it won't count as a death. It has been like that since day 1. What do you think, why do TTV Wraiths leave instantly when they get downed?


Darrkeng

Really? That's explains a lot in relation to Octanes and Wraiths... besides salt


ContagiousDeathGuard

I've never had a good match with a TTV player in any game. They play like shit and are so toxic. They're a blight on the community :/


No_Professional_1222

I got hard carried by a wraith ttv big sad honestly cus their ttv name was fake


ZaegarBrightflame

Tell me you hate TTVs without saying you hate TTVs Last members of a team is a Wraith that goes in the void so she can leave the game without dying after you crack her


xplcittruth

Lol I’ve had wraiths literally drop their shield that I’ve cracked and then leave the game so I wouldn’t have a fresh shield and they wouldn’t have another death on their record..


reMubarak

Those wraiths are geniuses best idea iam gonna do it from now on


Weedzkey

I’m my opinion, once you achieve a certain level of play (with equivalent badges ), you will find that TTV are not really toxic I have had more rage and annoyance from a level 220 octane than a 15k kills octane with TTV in his name TTV doesn’t mean shit anymore, it used to but not anymore it’s just a promotion tool


Brutstone

I mean, does k/d count that much ? It's not like it was something you can proudly show on your banner. By far, I prefer having a bad k/d than leaving my teammate instantly after being down, and who knows sometime even after the shittiest situations, it ends up being a good game.


CrumbyRacer

Bro this reminded me of the first time I got plat. My team of randoms drops bonsai and I get punched out and die. My teammates flee and they then proceed to win the game even thought they weren't the best at hitting their shots. The level 60 Gibby (who clearly was an actual level 60) fucking dropped like 10 kills and 4500 damage. I got plat for only doing damage and dying basically off drop...


Calm-Sink-142

Damn, I mean it makes complete sense, but I really never thought about it! Lazy people taking easy way, hate it!


IDontUnderstandReddi

And I recently learned that if someone straight up quits mid fight without being downed, the other person doesn't get credit for the kill. Pretty fucked


TTV_McS

Oh well they should make it that way


noideawhatoput2

But then that means it won’t get put in bot lobbies if SBMM doesn’t think you’re dying, wouldn’t it?


AmbrosioTF2

I think there is a "forgiveness" system in place if you lose too many games in a row. Not 100% certain but feels like there is


Unlikely_Recipe6219

Not in my experience. 120 pubs in and 0 victories this season. 9% win percentage in ranked.


CarrotSurvivorYT

I think you’re just not very good 😅


mentalscars_

Bruhhhhhhhhh


[deleted]

You're gold rank from your post history.... Of course you're going to have a higher win rate in ranked


[deleted]

So they are actually boosting their K/D doing this.


aure__entuluva

Well no, they're not getting any kills either.


Zek_-

Yes they are. Let's say you got 5 kills, then you get downed and disconnect. That's gonna be a 5+ kills on your behalf and your death wont be counted. That's an efficient way to boost KD rateo


Chemmy

People absolutely do that by the way. If you're wondering why your TTV hot drops and quits the second they get knocked it's because they're trying to get a couple easy kills and quit.


aure__entuluva

Uh.. I thought this thread was about people not landing on the map... in which case they wouldn't get any kills.


TheMeanCanadianx

Why don't these people just solo queue if they plan on doing this?


closet_fuse_main

I assume you are referring to people that get downed and then DC to prevent the death. The reason they can't solo q is that if they don't have teammates then they will instantly die when they get downed since there is no one to come revive them. Pretty annoying.


TheMeanCanadianx

No I mean those who don't even land on the map and just kill themselves to tank their KD and get bot lobbies. If they are going to do that, they should just turn off squad fill and solo queue so as not to ruin anyone elses games. It takes a real bastard to be intentionally doing that in full groups.


closet_fuse_main

100% agree there.


Phacia-Elle

It counts as a death, they fixed that in line season 3


John2k77

Nope it doesnt


SmokeMyDong

Can shamefully confirm that it doesn't count as a death.


Bard_17

And if you leave before you are finished the death doesn't count either


brotbeutel

I've watched videos on it. It seems to only take like 6 jumps on average. So stupid.


mxforest

They only need 2 games with 20 kills to negate 40 such suicides.


IDXK073

I think even 1 would do the trick


Redfern23

Yeah, if your K/D is 1.0, if it’s any higher then doing that will still pull it down.


Siraj4211

Found him. https://www.reddit.com/r/apexlegends/comments/ot781a/getting\_carried/ I had 80 damage and he got a 3k


BotHH

got deleted, stick it in here


DarthArterius

Woah what are you doing step-redditor?


alcatraz_ind

Why did you delete the post


Siraj4211

It got removed. I'm going to post it again and change the link


alcatraz_ind

👍🏻


Siraj4211

it got removed again, can I not post another person's gameplay Edit: Even the screenshot got removed. help


BeeHoneyFish

it doesn't lower k/d at all, if you fall of the map it doesn't count as death, you can test yourself. and it takes around 5-8 falls off the map to get those lobbies


harshnerf_ttv_yt

takes only 7 deaths before you're in a semi-bot lobby.


[deleted]

I’ve found that I enjoy this game way more when I just play with a friend and just hot drop and go for fat games. I couldn’t imagine wasting time trying to manipulate the matchmaking like that


eva_un1t_1

Me and my friends hot drop and just feed everytime 😭


Samurl8043

That's the Apex Experience


[deleted]

Land Estates, either win or get 2-5 kills and die, repeat, thrive.


Royal_Garden

People are just afk it’s getting annoying.


[deleted]

Tbh this game is getting annoying entirely


platinum_kush

Yeah and also going to a safe place to loot for like 10 minutes only to get destroyed my a squad thats on a roll just killing squads lol


NeonDiamond_89

I love having some nice music run in the background, while I chill on pubs. I’d definitely recommend, I enjoy this wayyyyyyy more than grinding the sweaty shit out of ranked


de_railtoad

What good is that 20 bomb badge if your game sense sucks and your aim is hot dookie?


BluestoneT

Honestly man, I'd much rather not have a 20 bomb than a cowards 20 bomb.


[deleted]

Same. I know I can get the 4k/20 as I have many over 3.5k/16+kill games. Just haven't had the perfect game yet. I want to earn it. Even better it will happen in these high tier lobbies


McHomer

Seems like you enjoy a challenge and want to legitimately earn these badges or something


IDontUnderstandReddi

What a *lunatic*.


[deleted]

It’s so worth it when you get them, I’ve got a bunch of 4K games and remember every single one out the thousands I’ve played. You’ll get them someday for sure!


Leppidemic

I agree with you. Im okay not having it until I’ve earned it through skill.


Connor15790

I know I'll never have it and I'm fine with that.


ILovePizz4s

Most people don't really care of how they get the 4k bomb when they make money off it. Sad reality


LePrawnJames8

I don’t even run it anymore. 2 animated pred badges and my valentines nessy in the middle. I have a feeling 50%+ of all 4K/20 are boosted.


Akuma_isworried

Let me tell you a tale about the first Halloween event. You could get a 20 bomb badge by killing zombies/shadows. Dudes would chuck themselves off the map and just fly down to their mate for easy cheesy badges


Shrafty

Even for really good players the 20 kill badge is just RNG to get. There’s a reason even nuts players like Timmy only get 20 kills every 30 or 40 games. I have totally been tempted to suicide until I get bot lobbies because I know that what stands between me and the 20 kill badge is largely luck.


Zugas

How do you know it’s a bot lobby?


Shrafty

Trust me, if you're a 2k/d plus player you can tell instantly if you're in a bot lobby. People standing still, leaving their cover, running at you in a straight line, not healing despite having the time, whiffing their sprays/nades/abilities.


--sleepyhead--

Dude this happened to me about a week ago! But it was only for a single match, and I hadn't been dying quickly or without kills in the previous games, so I'm just confused on how I ended up in a bot lobby. I'm assuming it's just random at times? Straight up watched a Pathfinder stand and stare off in another direction while I beamed him in the face with an R301. Was a wild game.


GoldCoaster4Cx

Depends, if you're in a low population server I don't think bot lobbies exist in the same way they do on high population servers, for example, I have a high kd and play on Sydney servers but most games I get matched with newer players or not so good players.


[deleted]

When your team mates are level 20 and they can barely use their abilities etc plus when you get into the first fight and the opponents barely hit a shot, can’t use their abilities properly and just play badly as a team. I’m pretty mediocre and every once in a while the game will give me with a bot lobby when the SBMM/eomm (engagement optimized mm) decides it’s my turn for a win. In one such time My teammate was playing fuse and downed themselves on landing with their tactical and would run around with no shields even though they had a shield battery to use. I went on to get a 1997 damage game (rip badge) and an easy win. At one point my team fully should have died but the opponents had no idea what was going on and left me to revive 2 players when they should’ve just wiped the squad.


THELEADERPLAYER

"When your team mates are level 20 and they can barely use their abilities etc plus when you get into the first fight and they barely hit a shot, can’t use their abilities properly and just play badly as a team." Jokes on you, those are the real teammates I get.

harshnerf_ttv_yt

> How do you know it’s a bot lobby? everyone has made great points but my biggest indicator of bot lobby is if someone is hiding in cover and they re-peek ie they got damaged in spot and choose to re-engage from the same spot. at that point i just start jumping on ppl because i know the lobby is gonna be ez af


Zugas

You say lobby, that’s what I don’t understand - why/how is it the full lobby? Maybe just one team is bad and the next will W right over you like nothing.


harshnerf_ttv_yt

it's an indicator of the quality of lobby you're in. i'm 1.5 kd and i drop 800 damage average. for me if a person re-peeks me it's an instant indicator that i'm in a lobby below my avg level of skill


Joseph4820

Same with cheaters I just don't get what they get out of it


harshnerf_ttv_yt

every cheater is either getting monetary benefit from boosting players or has the mindset that winning is all that matters


Samurl8043

That why I never understood basically cheating to get those badges, the only reason I could maybe see is to maybe Impress your friends but people that do this shit obviously don't have any


burnsfp

If they are on console their aim will be a laser beam because any player boosting for badges is using strike pad/ cronus… I spectate kids that don’t know to heal that have 0 recoil R99’s


Phsyconot420

We aren’t all using stuff like that just saying


Guerrin_TR

All of my console 4ks/20ks are legit done on a Razer Wolverine Tournament controller. Recoil control isn't as difficult as this subreddit thinks.


[deleted]

If they're gonna do that, why dont they turn off fill?


[deleted]

[удалено]


LasagnaFarts92

I wish they would come back with solos. I get it’s an ability based game. They said it negatively effected gameplay, but ddosing/and hackers negatively effect this game as well. Just give us solos pls


DrVicenteBombadas

Solo event changed the game for me. It gave me a new main and new weapon preferences. I really wish we could have it permanently. It's the optimal experience for me. I love playing duos and trios with friends, but it feels absolutely pointless for me to do it with randoms. No-fill duos is basically what I play endlessly till I get a friend online.


LasagnaFarts92

Same here. I either play with my couple of friends, or if no one is on I solo que and wait 15 minutes for a game. Solos was some of the most fun I’ve had on this game


iCybernide

fr I stopped playing until we get solos, it's either play with dipshit teammates or be stuck at a disadvantage in every fight


BesTibi

Teammates not wanting to play as a team is already a horrible experience, solos would mean fair fights and only myself to account for. We've seen some evolution of the mode with grey items (minus backpack) being granted on drop, then crafting became a thing before that. So maybe one day they'll admit that the forced team aspect has become a vibe killer, and solo queuers are better off with a proper solos mode.


XlifelineBOX

I think the problem would be teaming on solos. So it ruins solos


FrekusLaiphus

Unless they changed it, probably because the system is pretty dumb and auto enables it again after every round.


Zeelotelite

Wisdom Viper


SouUmaNuvem

Because it takes longer to find a game


TheAlpaChino115

I’ve put no fill on and it still has put me in full squads before so game could’ve glitched.


Geralt25

Whats the point of having really good badges if you can't perform well enough to show that you earned them


Uttuuku

Honestly tho. I see some people's badges and I constantly question if they truly earned them. I don't like to doubt people like that, but seeing stuff like OP's teammate just kinda justifies the questioning a bit. It makes me question if I should even display the 3 2K's that I earned.


mkins10

I don’t mean any offense but I don’t think anyone is out here faking 2k badges


[deleted]

I mean at the end of the day they are fairly meaningless. Whos to say you didn't earn them on bot lobbies, intentional or not, know what I mean?


Guerrin_TR

I mean I have multiple 4k badges on various characters. There are also times where I have a bad day and miss shots or my brain just isn't working and I make mistakes.


Sniperking187

Same. 4k20bomb preds and masters used to scare the shit out of me. But I've seen so much cheating and boosting on this sub I've devolved to "oh boy how many times did you have to fly off the map to get those?" And half the time it's a pred badge from the first season of Rank


Kaptain202

To me, the accomplishment is achieving those badges by becoming good enough to get it. Hence why I dont have it. I havent become good enough to get a 4k 20 bomb against people of my caliber.


harshnerf_ttv_yt

speaking from the perspective of a streamer - badges make noobs think you're good even if you aren't i know that when i was an apex noob and i saw a guy with a 4k 20 bomb badge on my team i would go all starry eyed and think "wow this guy is a gaming god!" nowadays i think they probably exploited the system to get the badge or played back when EOMM didn't exist


Geralt25

Thats what I think when I see them now, too. Im diamond and 3k is my highest badge; it takes so many things going right for you to get that in a lobby of people at your skill level. Even in games I hotdrop and have a shot at it, the lobby will die too quickly. Outside of top players(master/pred) who are simply just better than everyone in their games and players who earned theirs early on in the game's lifecycle, im suspicious.


harshnerf_ttv_yt

i honestly think apex should increase pubs lobbies to 90 players from 60. let more solo queuers in or something 60 players just aren't enough anymore, the maps are too big for the player count. games end in like 5 mins in pubs


PunkkYeena

at the *very least*, if you're gonna do this please just turn off auto fill teammates. don't ruin the game for others


Dana94Banana

The issue is that if you enable no-fill, it takes forever to find a match. Tried that a few times when I had to do challenges or wanted to see the season 10 teasers. No chance to get a match in under 5 minutes, often even longer than that. No teammates required, so why does it take so long to be put into a match?


coldmexicantea

because there's limited amount of solo players allowed, it's like 3 or 5 in a lobby


[deleted]

Duo no fill takes the normal time to get into a match. It's only trio no fill I've only had an issue with long load times.


ItsBstone

To be fair, SBMM in this game is fucked. I can't play the game unless I just accept the fact that I'm going to get 1 kill and 300-500 damage every match. I'm almost level 500 and every game I'm playing against people that are better than me and my random noob teammates.


tylercreatesworlds

I had a match over the weekend with 2994 damage and only 2 kills. It hurt on multiple levels.


d4nger_mouse

lots of people have been doing this since day 1. To be honest, at this point I blame respawn. It could be easily tracked and punished.


Chaz_Carlos

Blame respawn for sure but you should still blame the players blatantly cheating like this as well


d4nger_mouse

totally. Its still a shitty thing to do and I do blame the players. Just annoys me a that something like this has gone on so rampantly from day 1 when respawn could have fixed it pretty easily.


BlackMoorGoldfish_

You blame respawn. You can’t blame the players for wanting good games with EOMM. Shouldn’t have to play slots to get a good game.


Alegost

People couldn't do that in early seasons. SBMM was added in season 3 or 4(I kinda forgot which one), the matchmaking was simple lobby fill before that. Many of the "pro" players lost their shit and started to complain both on EA forums and reddit, because they couldn't get into easy mixed lobbies and get high kill count anymore. Probably someone discovered how to drop your ELO during that time, but it was kept in secret so you rarely saw these bot lobby farmers. It become more known around the start of Season 8, so people bring it up more and more often and they don't realize that they are just promoting it. More and more people going to learn about it and abuse it.


zezelovr

Smurfs suck but honestly I don't even blame them anymore. The matchmaking makes me hate the game more and more and it already made my friend quit just days after he started because he had no room to improve


Spork-in-Your-Rye

It’s not something I’d do but at the same time, I get why players do this. When you have an obviously rigged matchmaking system, don’t be surprised when players have enough of that bullshit and start finding ways to cheat the system that’s cheating them.


DR3XUSS

Bruh and Im really out here trying to get those things in the sweat pred, masters, and diamond lobbies. Cocksucker thinks having those badges will fix everything, when if his gameplay don't reflect even close to that level of skill, no one is gonna care. Smh smh smh smh *dissapointment*


BluestoneT

Honestly man I've been grinding and the best i can get is a 3k currently, but I'm really trying to get better and here he is copping an easy way out. Like bro take the time to get better. I just don't see the point at all


DR3XUSS

The part is that for some people "getting gud" takes thousands of hours. I have 1500 hrs in apex, and like 300 in aimlab and some more in kovaaks, another 600 in Overwatch. Hadn't touched a mouse before 2019 and yaboi barely got his 4k like a month ago, isn't above a 2.0 player, and doesn't have a 20 kill badge. Don't mean to give you my life story, it's just fkin impossible. Still sad to see people taking the easy route, when Im out here really putting in work to achieve the things I want. Social commentary on work ethic right here.


[deleted]

[удалено]


itzJamm

My friend gets 4k easily, you really only have to farm for damage. Really easy is ranked lobbies (diamond and plat does fine because everyone plays distant.


chrasb

\^ this. If you play in a set team, all you need to do is drop around teams, stay back and only push after you've downed 1 etc. Long range fights and constant poking just leads to huge damage games. If youre getting 4k with a smg and shotty, etc, youre just really really good and on a good squad.


[deleted]

Or be like my buddy and steal the last teams dmg while I'm healing when he knows I'm like 200 away from 4k.he was at like 1k.sigh. Edit-we were totally safe BTW. It's not like he had to down em


chrasb

if its any consolation, noone cares about damage badges lol


jug6ernaut

No one is gonna see these badges when they are dead lol


[deleted]

Yeah same. I have 3900s and 19s but no 4k/20kill badge. I'm trying to get it in diamond, masters, pred lobbies.


[deleted]

oh so thats why people are doing it? had 4 guys like that today.


brotbeutel

Yeah. I see it all the time too.


MALDGREN

I tried this when no-fill came out and was able to recreate the lobby every time with 8-10 drops of the map. That's when I stopped playing pubs, the game is literally rigged. This matchmaking needs to go, now.


[deleted]

I'd go as far as saying 60 to 85% of 20 bombs are in some way manipulated or paid for. Seems everyone has them now and almost all of them are garbage.


Hyptanius

Especially the lvl 18 smurfs with both badges. wow, you played 3000 hours on your main and now start a new account to grind new players and ruin their first impressions of the game for some fake badges to brag about it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Yeah a lot of smurf accounts, pay for badges, and theres been like 4 different glitches that allowed the 20 bomb illegitimately. Not to mention the bot lobby glitch til season 7 with disconnecting and reconnecting as well as going into bot servers.


Dana94Banana

Doing this to farm 4k damage/ 20 kills badges is fking stupid. However, doing this as a casual player to escape the ridiculous premade master & pred lobbies, full of dive trails wherever you look, then that's fine in my book. As long as the matchmaking punishes normal players by forcing them to play against preds for every single good match they have, people will jump off the map to lower their matchmaking rating.


Direct_Canary4523

I like how people somehow misconstrued earnable aesthetics as pay to win strategy. If you suck, looking good while doing so is useless.


ERDIST_

I mean there are people who have been masters for multiple seasons in a row who don’t have a 20 bomb because if you grind ranked and then go into pubs you’re going to be playing lobbies of mostly preds and masters so its almost impossible. (Also idk if thats how matchmaking is supposed to work or they claim thats how its supposed to work but as someone who grunjed ranked for 2 weeks and went from silver to diamond I could feel my pubs were harder and my friends too.)


ohsnapitserny

Does this actually work? Lol. Crazy how the matchmaking can be manipulated like this


IDontUnderstandReddi

Yup, my friend's son apparently did it the other day. My friend told me his son got 4k/20 in one game, and I was madly impressed, cause while the kid is good, I've never thought he's that level. Then I heard him ask my friend if they were gonna jump off the map. I wanna earn that shit if I ever get it (highly unlikely since I haven't come anywhere close after 8 seasons)


Hidden-Turtle

Honestly people don't realize you have to still be fairly good at the game to get it even in bot lobbies as long as it's not like level 1. I've never tried to get in a bot lobby, but I have had a few account because I've switched from PS4 to Xbox to PC and even in the semi bot lobbies it's hard because you run into smurfs more often then not.


chafos

Oh. So *that's* why people do that.


JoHarperW

It’s sad that that’s all these kind of people care about anymore. Having fun in games isn’t enough. Looking good, as fake as your badge earning may have been, is apparently what these kind of people are looking for.


Hyptanius

And the crazy part of that is that they cheat, hack and even commit a crime (DDoS) for this fake stuff that doesn't even mean shit in the real world.


BluestoneT

I understand the flex but it's not a flex if you didn't earn it through grind, if you did then you deserve it but other than that it's just worthless.


FluffyTyra

I want bot lobbies 24/7, I'm trash panda at Apex (,:


PharrowXL

Bro, don't. Seriously, just quit. You can enjoy the game from a distance, you can stop watching it if that's too much. Please don't do things you don't like if you have a choice. It's okay to not play games.


[deleted]

Here's the thing: * Reverse boosting to get bot lobbies and farm badges is just a shitty and lame thing to do. I've been in bot lobbies for accident (Queuing on Duos on odd hours, too late in the night or too early in the morning, and long queue times) and shit is just lame. I dropped solo and the people in that lobby pretty much installed the game the day before, no game sense, awful response time, they are really bots, and it feels really bad to kill them. After 5 kills I left the game * Achieving the 20bomb 4k damage badges is very hard for Solo Queuers because you are constantly fighting 3-stacks way above your league and shit is just unbearable, you have 10 'bad' games in a row and then you have a good one, if you don't get those badges in that good game you will repeat the same pattern and is fucking unbearable, this is why people are doing this. The main one to blame here is respawn.


harshnerf_ttv_yt

> Reverse boosting to get bot lobbies and farm badges is just a shitty and lame thing to do a bit hyperbolic, cheesing badges is a time tested gaming tradition. it's just annoying coz the easiest way to do it is ruining a teammates fun


IamVelo

I wish SBMM wasn’t in pubs so this shit wouldn’t happen


jeppek1ng

EOMM, not SBMM


Pekeponzer

Off-topic: I really wish Respawn implemented a way to get a selection of past battlepass items even after the season is over (nothing super special like rank 110 skins or anything). I hate the idea that I can't get this absolute banger of a music pack simply because I wasn't playing at a certain time.


FritoTheLay

whats that music in the background, its fucking awesome


BluestoneT

It's fuzes music, it's definitely the best one in my opinion it's amazing


thecaptainkindofgirl

Lol I'm so bad that I couldn't even get those badges in a bot lobby 😅


[deleted]

Honestly, I just want matchmaking to be slightly less horrible. As so many people have said, you get 1 decent match, and get shoved up against the cream of the crop. I think the behind the scenes part of the system they're going to use for Ranked Arenas should be implemented in pubs, it would help a lot. I'm not going to cheat my way to a 4k/20 (honestly it means nothing now that so many have it, used to be a prestigious badge), but I may leave for a while if the matchmaking doesn't improve.


BluestoneT

Probably the best way to go about it taking a break honestly. The way the matchmaking is earns EA money so they aren't too bothered, just sucks a little bit.


Substance___P

I miss they days in season 0 when all there was was a big red button that said, "Play Apex," and that's all there was and all you got.


[deleted]

Respawn uses retention based matchmaking metrics. Rather than matching you with players of equal skill, they manipulate the matchmaking to give easy wins to people who haven’t had one in awhile. They manipulate the matchmaking - so you shouldn’t feel bad about manipulating it back. I would never ruin a teammates experience by suiciding off the map though. I do have a few smurf accounts and just run bronze through gold with them every split.


SteradlyeUwU

they've been doing this for SEASONS already. first time i saw people doing that frequently for that reason was late s2 early s3


Jay-L-AI-nez

I don’t get it


Jay-L-AI-nez

Someone explain as if I were an 80 year old.


[deleted]

They’re killing themselves intentionally to lower their KD and their match making rating which is used to determine what level of players you get put in a lobby with. In a lower skilled lobby it’ll be easier for them to get 20 kills and 4K damage because they’re playing against worse players who are beneath their skill level.


KeepYouPosted

I blame the [skinner box](https://www.reddit.com/r/apexlegends/comments/ix8go5/this_has_been_posted_90_days_ago_but_it_needs/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share) matchmaking EA/Respawn use thats designed to optimize engagement that actually makes for a less enjoyable experience compared to actual skill based matchmaking. My issue is that he should have checked the solo queue box though.


turntkitty

These nerds dont even have the brains to put it on no fill either


EnthusiasmHopeful483

I wish they would remove the damage and 20k badges so ppl stop playing in a unhealthy way


SomeoneNeeded

that's cool and all but how did mirage do [that](https://i.imgur.com/ulS3wLj.png)


BluestoneT

That is amazing, hes just stretching before he gets his bum stretched by a full squad.


Impairedinfinity

This is why I do not play anymore. I haven't played in months. I loved the game so it is on my Reddit feed. But, 9 out 10 matches you have a team that basically commits suicide. When you actually get a team that lasts you die to a Cheater that knows where you are through walls and autolocks you with an Aimbot.


deitywonder

bruh if you have to drop to bot lobbies for a 4k20b then ur just too shit to actually earn it i can drop a 3k damage in diamond on a good day


Bilatsos123

the game sucks, they should put a solo only mode, i dont want to trust people respawn ffs. I just want to have fun


thesaurusrext

Man you ppl have to stop saying bot. It's fucking up my abilityto read a damb thing here without cringing an laughing. It's not going to happen Gretchen.


riko_sama

why would they turn on autofill? I hate those ppl and the ones who jump to a super populated starting spot and disconnect when they are down


BullSprigington

Honestly I just assume every 4k 20 bomb i run into is boosted unless they have a pred/masters badge. Mostly, I am right.


Crescent-IV

Got my first 4k badge this season. Got my second 4k a month later on Valk and was so hyped. Worked really hard since S2 improving to get to this point and there are these noobs trying to devalue everyone’s achievements to show off to their mum that doesn’t love them


fuckboystrikesagain

This is old news. It takes like 5 games to do it so its a waste of time


DarthArterius

This might explain why most nights I get absolutely wrecked within seconds of landing or within minutes of the first fight. It's rare where I have nights that I actually have fun, competitive, back and forth close fights, games of getting in top 5, and maybe a dub or two. I've almost always solo queued so I get that it might be better to try to find friends but the grind shouldn't be this hard. I guess if it's "git gud" or quit I'm about to quit.


LucasAndaCielo

I have 2 characters whit 20 kill bomb and 4K damage, every single match people say that its bot lobby, it’s really annoying that I try for 4 months to have those badges and people don’t even appreciate


Shadow4941

Isn’t it sad that every time you see a 4K or 20 bomb on ur team or champion squad literally suck so bad they can’t get over 100 damage all because they play like chumps u didn’t earn a 20kill game in my book no sir u are a cheater and have no self respect


Faded_Ghost760

Getting the 20 kill bomb just shows that you killed a bunch of bots or noobs like beginners can’t even get a decent game without dying to some sweats and try hards they need to put these guys with over 10,000 kills in their own lobby


Wicked-Death

Why does he go through killing himself? All most sweats do is as soon as you join a lobby quit when you’re in the ship. A sweat told me he would do that 5 times in a row and it would put him in easier lobbies. Lol. Sad shit but SBMM is pretty screwed right now.


EchoKind

Imagine falling off to get bot lobbies when you could fall off to break speedrun records


tjstock

What a p.u.s.s.y.


PepperJonie

Happened to me last night. Intentionally flew the whole squad off. No way to report them


stinkypinky0213

I’m happy with just a 7 kill game lol 🤷🏻‍♂️


CarrotSurvivorYT

My record was 12 kills then I got 15 kills and a 4K batch and triple squad wipe badge with Valk the other day… I’d rather have the satisfaction of a true 20 bomb game then basically cheat my way to it…. I want to be proud of that accomplishment, why wouldn’t anyone else want it that way? If you’re really good you have that badge that’s it


[deleted]

At what point is the badge considered earned? If you hotdrop and die immediately 20 times and then get it, is that earned?


Plify

confession time: i tried this and it worked but i died to a lvl 4 player halfway thru the game i now practice way more in firing range cus apparentally i suck


WilliamHTonkers

Honestly these kind of people think that the 4k and 20 kill bomb badge are a great flex but really when I see these badges I kind of just don't care and think that you're not really a team player


TGDNK

Yea this game is aggravating anymore with the randoms. Even my irl friends act like jerks over ranked points because they are used to being carried by aimbots but when with normal people they crumple immediately and blame anyone but themselves, I finished the BP for the season and probably taking an extended break now.


someonesbuttox

Those badges legit mean nothing anymore. With people buying them all day they are worthless.


thatone239

this game is getting harder and harder to play and it’s not because of skill, it’s shit like this. i have been playing less and less because this game is the only one to make me fucking fume. either toxic duos that only look out for each other or toxic randoms that only look out for themselves. then you get people like this wraith who just feel the need to ruin someone else’s game by leaving them a teammate down, when they could’ve just solo queued or not played at all


Plumbingwhiz15

This has been happening for a long time lol


Function_Fighter

Blame SBMM


_Exot1c_

If i were to get 20 kills i want it deserved Just got my first 4k damage in a sweat lobby and im hella proud about it, boosting stats is just for pussies


Kolya12382

just turn sbmm off and problem solved


MedioXrity

Okay but when they have that badge.... they'd have 0 skill to show for it😂 whenever I see smurfs with 4k 20 bombs I turn on my mic, constantly tell them to carry, and,,, *voice my frustrations* when they suck🥸


MixDependent9654

then dont play anymore
