i truly dont know where that narrative comes from. that a group of friends can boost a player easily. im playing with my friends, they are waaaaay better than me. they go up to emerald and i stop climbing at silver/gold. we would have to win 10 in a row for me to go up a rank. its probably because im playing way above my skill level and my KDA is really bad. i dont know why, but im sure im unboostable.
me too. I play the same amount of games with my friends, yet somehow he reached gold 1 and I’m stuck in bronze 2. once I won, and I only went up 10 rp.
@@lizzie3340It’s because you aren’t as good… the ranked system now tries to get you into your hidden rank. Aka if your hidden rank is diamond but your real rank is copper, you will gain more elo for wins and lose less for losses until you get into your hidden rank. This means you can play the same amount of games as your buddies and still have different ranks. Hope this clears things up. PS lobbies also go by avg elo of your team so theoretically you could go up against 2 champs 3 coppers as a 5 stack of gold/silver players.

Casual shouldn't have a leaver penalty unless you're leaving almost every match. That's what overwatch does. You have to leave most of your matches before you get a penalty and I think that's fair. People who play casual are usually....casual players. It's not supposed to be tryharding. It's supposed to be just casual fun or try stuff. Many people that just wanna relax after work and play a few fun matches play casual because they can leave if they have to.

Hi Varsity, wanted to get your word on a Console matter, so as you know mousetrap has greatly reduced mnk on console which worked well for a few months, but now all of the mnk players seem to be back. I had a chat with one in game chat, so they now abuse the remote play feature that PS4/5 have to keep on cheating, at what point will Ubisoft start banning these players? They cheat confidently and knowing they wont get banned. We do beat these players since they need cheats to win, but still ruins the ranked experience.
if you're winning how is you're experience ruined? im being serious not trying to sound rude . but also how do you know they're mnk? Im also on console but idk what to look for
Mousetrap didn't actually work. Xim is still around and more egregious than ever. And Ubi's "ban" is most of the time a 7-14 day suspension at most which does nothing because they come back and do the same thing again rather than just perma banning them and getting rid of the problem.
The ranked disparity is so bad in seige now I don’t even want to play, for some reason my hidden mmr is low champ high diamond so now that’s all I play in ranked, quick match, arcade, and standard it’s miserable
Yeah. I'm stuck in Ranked at Bronze playing against Champs and Diamonds rn 😐 Then Standard and Quick Match are still infested with new players, so I'll get 3-4 guys straight from the tutorial playing with me against Emerald, Diamonds, and Champs
i appear to be stuck in the same boat i took the game seriously during highschool and quit playing as Zero was added peaking plat 1 old ranked now i cant even play the game with the recent season because i havent touched the game in over 3 years and only fight champs and diamonds and am how you say very washed
Once i hit emerald this season I have been playing so many more cheaters than usual, some blatant crazy stuff but more often it is some subtle walls or soft aim with hipfire. On top of going from gaining 65 elo per match to only 25 after very few games with a 2.0 win loss it is very annoying to play higher ranks anymore
This season has been rough. Theres less rage cheater and more closet cheaters that i would have expected. I supposed it makes sense since you dont want your KD to go through the roof now that they doing stat bans
I've been slowly climbing the ranks in siege and only recently hit diamond after being stuck in emerald for a couple seasons and yet the actual diamond teammates I get in ranked (I know they are because charms and backgrounds) will TK, afk, throw, or look like they've genuinely never played siege before.
its not even hard for Ubi to tell if someone is boosted or not, stat sites use to track who you queued with (no clue if they still do) but its clearly a metric Ubi stored in there API so Ubi knows who you queue with, make it a 10 game metric where if you queue with a cheater in a squad for 10 games or more and said cheater is banned, any and all accounts that meet the 10 game limit are banned at least for the duration of the season. You are then unbanned for the next season BUT ranked its locked out for another season so effectively 2 seasons your acc is locked out from competitive lobbies
TBH alot of players who unknowingly played with cheaters would get banned also. Once made friends with the best closet cheater i've ever met but after like 2 months we discovered that he was cheating never seen him since we confronted him about it.
I only abandon QM if it’s a shit map like night haven or lair. If they had goddamn map filters it would absolutely cut down on early match abandons. I don’t think QM needs a penalty for leaving at any point though, just give solo queuers an opt in option to fill mid match games for some extra reward and filling would be much more consistent.
Also U can't compare Valorant and LOL with R6, because every round in R6 is a 'fresh start'. V & LOL have economy across rounds/time that can't work as is, when a player just joins an ongoing match. Ubi should allow a map avoidance filter, like back in the old days, just put a max amount of blocked maps to like 5 in place.
@@zoriiginalx7544 Nighthaven is not good. Horrible for Solo Q. Half of my teammates can never find their way through the map well. I've got it decently memorized, and it's not terrible, but it's not good.
Bruh y’all think lair is trash then u haven’t played it in high ranks the map is wayyyyyyy better then the shitty consulate rework I’m just glad they’ve made new maps but as someone who really enjoyed old consulate they have made that map garbage in comparison to any other rework
I stopped caring about this game just this season. I never really played ranked all that much, maybe 2-4 matches a season. This season, I was feeling really into it and played a lot. I queued up with a buddy who was in the same boat. As of writing this, we have only played together, we have the same KD, and we played about the same amount in previous seasons for ranked. We are consistently in emerald/diamond lobbies, yet I stopped making elo in high silver, and he is in mid Plat still making great headway. I would get it if maybe I actually played a lot in previous seasons compared to him but I played the same amount. Same case if he had a better K/D or even anything that would put him markedly higher, but at this point I lost interest. So disheartening to play the same matches with the same stats but be left in the dust due to some invisible number that I have no way of effecting. I'm debating making a new account just so I can possibly get a higher hidden MMR so I don't feel so disheartened in ranked matches.
This is why ranked 1.0 is needed, as annoying as it was playing higher ranks than what you are you’d lose less and gain a lot more if you won. And obviously you don’t play a lot of games, so placements would get you to that rank you deserve instead of having to grind your way up to it
Either force ranked players to exclusively play with others in their rank, stopping them from playing with friends in other ranks (terrible plan) or stop taking a computer game this seriously this late in life ( best plan) its sad tbh.
The saddest part about a cheater on siege is the can still die💀 where as say cod or apex if you cheat and die your actually bottom of the barrel but same with rainbow it’s just funny cause they get headshot
I don't really see a point in having abandon sanctions in casual. it makes sense in ranked, but not casual. Is it annoying af to have a teammate drop? Yes, is it the end of the world? No, not really. Some people have shit connections, some people have a real life, including kids, pets, work, etc. that require their attentions at the worst times. those people tend to stick to casual modes. Now if they had a means to ONLY penalize people whom regularly rage/troll leave games with these sanctions, then sure, it'd make sense. They've yet to demonstrate that they do have such capabilities, however, so it doesn't make much sense to have them for casual. TL;DR: Casual is for normal people and noobs, stick to ranked if it bothers you that much. 🤷
So playing devils advocite for the interaction at 27:05. You would be able to spmewhat hear that Iana pushed into Freezer due to the whole area being metal and the wall being opened as it is, the only questionable aspect is whether or not youd br able to hear a person switching from Crouch to prone from that far away. The stack i play with doesnt do that hole because someone (usually me) is on the boxes he went to just before the c4 chuck
I’ve encountered implanted spies in my console lobbies before. Just recently I had a match go 4-4 and in the round he stayed rappelled while all of us enter the building to play. It is now a 1-5 and he is nodding in the motion of “no”. What the hell man.
6:40 Also a German cheater told a streamer that if he manages to get banned for something else than cheating then the system won't role back MMR ...that's how he boosts people without them loosing their ranked (I mean that's what he said, don't know if it's true but if it is...ubi needs to step up)
55:07 I mean part of the reason I don’t play these games is because of this, I think a lot of people complain, also I have friends that have WiFi and computer issues and dc at least 3 times a play session, unless they get banned in which we have to switch games because we literally are not allowed to play anymore
doesn't the new commendation system makes it so these boosted players do not get the rewards at the end of season due to being dishonorable after getting banned? Or is it just easy for them to play a couple games after the ban and get their commendation back to high enough for them to not be left out of the rewards?
@@_DMNO_ The rewards include any Ranked rewards at the end of season (background and charm) which is the driving factor into these people getting boosted. As he said in the video (around 6-7min-ish) people just get boosted to champ by blatant cheaters and then the worst they get is a 2 week ban, then they come back from that and no matter what they do they've secured their champ border and charm with no real punishment. imo getting a serious ban like that should AT LEAST lock you out completely of getting Ranked Border/Charms but right now I think these people can just play a bunch of normals and build the reputation back by just playing, which is pretty damn stupid imo.
It'll be buried but in Match 2, the Ash vs Frost/Lesion gunfight, KevO (playing Zero) is on a drone until Lesion is killed. Maybe that's this missing info that can confirm/deny cheating?
Hey Varsity from my understanding, they no longer do that 15 day ban for being boosted by cheaters. I have seen people lose thousands of MMR but never actually have their rank reset. I haven't seen a ban for being boosted by cheaters since at least phantom sight
I will stop leaving quick matches when Ubi quick match will make sense. As a Gold/Plate player, I don't understand why I should face a champ so I just leave when I see it's not going to be fun. I don't care to become better, I just want to have fun and have a chance to win.
I've found that if you just play the match out, it can sometimes be worth it. I'm similar ranked and if you're Gold/Plat getting matched with Champs, they are probably very shit Champs. Apparently that's what this whole big boosting problem is about. Lower skill players get into Champ rank, but they aren't Champ skill. Try a little harder and they'll cry knowing they aren't as good as their rank says.
@@_DMNO_ Well I agree, I can beat Emeralds and maybe Diamonds players and if there is just one guy better and the rest is Gold/Plat, I usually play the game. But for exemple, a month ago I faced a pro player from SSG (official account, etc). We played it and got destroyed 0-3. Total combined killed by my teamates in 3 rounds? 2 kills. I'm still looking for the fun experience.
i hate facing low ranked players in QM as a high ranked player. It’s not fun just running and killing them with 0 effort and i feel bad for them also, im sure it isn’t fun for them either
The ranked system is a joke now anyways. I know plat level players that get to champ now every season. I play with them in those lobbies and it just feels like old plat lobbies.
@@mutdog2184 yeah it's a joke. Not even a game worth taking seriously anymore. I only play it to goof around now. For that it has very good potential and I don't think it will ever lose that.

@@blackops599 yeah the matchmaking is horrible now the games don't feel consistent at all to your rank. Though I do enjoy the ability to play with friends at all ranks now
@@moisto_o3036 Im just getting back into the game, never played seriously but i was about a gold rank player but jesus this game still thinks i got that dog in me after 2 1/2 years of being away
I only have 400 hours over many seasons but because I have thumbs and more than 2 brain cells apparently I'm in emerald hidden MMR. Hard pass on that. Why would I grind for rank when I get matched against plats and emeralds anyways? I see why people boost honestly it's not like the ranks mean shit anyways it's pure status/prestige.
varsity wanting greater penalties for abandoning... Me who had the game crash mid ranked game and wont let me re join the match and I get hit with an abandon sanction....
38:33 i have noticed that if a higher ranked player plays with 3 or 4 lower ranked players, the matchmaking will put the squad close to the lower rank. I have played with 4 silvers and just deleted the enemy team while just fucking about. not because i am good but just cause the enemies were a way lower rank.
I have been solo queueing this week and been getting stuck with 5 stacks on the other team with 2 champs with a couple bronze/coppers and at least a plat in copper/bronze lobbies almost every match… the boosting in ranked lobbies makes the game borderline unplayable at times (for reference I’m a copper 4)
The problem is that not all of us are boosted,a lot of us just don't have dedicated teammates,my wiin rate is 4.6 and I'm gold. It's hard to find people that want to play to to win. Shit I can't even find people with mics half the time
Easiest way to make this harder by a landslide- dont let diamonds play with any rank below diamond, dont let emerald play with any rank beow gold, everyone else can play together. Now a booster needs 3 separate accounts to even get someone to diamond AND you can podibly ban him
It use to have a MMR cap, but they took it out so "we can play with friends" but all they need to do is just put them in lobbies with the highest MMR. I prefer the old system but the way it is now at least make it so you play at the highest skill in the squad. It doesn't fix shit 2.0 but at least it stops boosters, well you can still cheat boost but that's not going anywhere unless they get better anti-cheat. You cant boost off your 4 "copper" friends if you're put into lobbies of your highest friend. You'd have to all have the same rank level to get the easiest matches which means you're now just playing rank how its suppose to.
The reason people like the no penalty in QP is so when you're waiti8ng for your friends you have something to do and can leave at any moment without a penalty. QP isn't serious at all and at least my friends just go there to warm up or mess around as we take the other game modes more serious. I also don't care if my whole team leaves in QP as I don't care about what happens and I only use it to waste time waiting for my friends to get on, or to do stupid things without anyone getting mad.
I think casual or quick match should not have a leave penalty. I usually instantly leave a casual or quick match when there is toxic or sweat in my team. People might tell me to man up to take it, but I honestly don’t feel like wasting 20 minutes on a match that is mentally torturing. Casual is casual, if you don’t feel like it leave. If the sweat think i suck, I leave so I don’t be liability. As for standard, a one day penalty is enough as people do leave because life calls.
Nah, penalties for leaving casual matches would make no sense, especially since no such thing exists in other bigger games such as Battlefield, COD, CSGO, etc... It wouldn't make sense to add it to casual at all.
Tbh i think that ppl that plays with someone that is cheating for multiple matches (in the same party) should be permaban aswell, cuz if it happens once it's a case but for more than 2 or 3 matches, that guy in the same party knows that he is cheating.
I like when he posts hacker replays. Always wondering if im ever gonna appear on one because even i think i look sus for how i play or get certain kills.
on the abandoning matches topic for people who join in progress we need some kind of reward for sticking thought it a few days ago i was level 96 on the bp and it took me over 4 hours to finish the last 4 levels because i kept joining 0-2 or 0-1 games then losing i was barely getting any progress but then a friend got on we played 3 games full games and won and i got the last 2 levels done instantly there needs to be more punishment for leaving and for people who join they need some kind of reward for playing it out
I’ve been saying this for years especially since R6 tracker used to show who people have played with, how many games and if they’ve played with cheaters. There is no way r6 tracker has that information but ubi doesn’t it’s absurd how obvious it is when someone has over 100 games with various banned cheaters but they won’t get banned for it
Also if they banned people for being boosted it wouldn’t just stop boosting it would affect the amount of cheaters in total, I believe a lot of cheaters do it because they make money from boosting
How did they f**k up a system that was already broken. Im a low gold on solo trying to rank and Im fighting against plats and diamonds. If that wasnt bad enough, I got dudes today literally tracking me behind walls with a 16-1 kd and guys holding the wildest angles with iq lmg with 0 recoil.
You know whats crazy? Beeing cooper and facing full stack of diamond and champions. You know whats even crazier? Facing team liquid stack while cooper.
I’m hard stuck emerald because I play solo queue all the time but I get in to enough champ lobbies that I don’t see the need for boosting, I get into more champ and diamond lobbies than I do emerald
Match 2 was the most obvious cheater I've seen by far lmfao. Edit: Also that QM abandon penalty is the most L take by far, considering I, and my friends play LoL and everyone wishes they could just leave a match without getting a penalty lmfao. Just a vid of L takes and saying an obvious cheater wasn't obvious
this season has been full of boosting players. all throughout my copper and bronze lobbies i was getting plat and emerald players. even a diamond here or there
tbf banning boosted people is hard. for instance i play with my friends most of them are bronze at absolute best while im like em/plat obviously this leads them to ranking up to gold ish every season. i am technically boosting them but i just play with my homies. yea its not with cheats which ig makes a difference but still hard to detect id imagine
Or, and bear with me here, instead of a permaban, they fully reset that user's account. I mean everything to zero, every pack they've opened, every skin they've unlocked even skins from prior seasons that no longer available. Everything. Make an example out of them.
I mean… you’re just saving them from buying another account really… but that way they could at least flag the account as a past cheater to be less lenient with reports and stuff
Most cheaters nowaday is dropshotting, no recoil, hipfire headshots, more hp or just take no dmg at all, esp, etc. They also dont know where any regular cams are. But they still play like Silver. Also like to add that 180ping aswell its almost impossible to hit them. I almost feel sorry for them. So bad they would be hardstuck Silver without all the "addons"😅
Aye man my first time ever making Plat I was legit bullied for it 😂 it was back during Para bellum when placement matches still existed but all im tryna say is through that 10 win streak I fucking earned those Ws my man Idc if I left the game 2-8 at some point or another I made a play to impact the game and help my team win thats all I care about I was getting bullied by anyone I played with because at that time you can see everyone's KD ratios mine was a 0.7 through the process of those 10 games 😂 like wow woopty doo I didn't go positive in 10 games so crazy 😂😂😂 idc how bad people are if your actually trying from point A to point Z and at end of game you can tell me you effected the game in 1 way or another id want you back on my squad anyday of the week hate playing with people who constantly drop 12k games then blame everyone else for losing like maybe you should have a 20k game 🤷 idk bro my 1 kill coukda been what allowed you to get 4 more maybe me being dead dropping pings helped get your ace idk bro 🤷

All the ban waves that I’ve been seeing this season are a huge W
Penalties for leaving a game makes sense until you realize how easy it is to grief and ruin the fun of someone else in Siege
its not even hard for Ubi to tell if someone is boosted or not, stat sites use to track who you queued with (no clue if they still do) but its clearly a metric Ubi stored in there API so Ubi knows who you queue with, make it a 10 game metric where if you queue with a cheater in a squad for 10 games or more and said cheater is banned, any and all accounts that meet the 10 game limit are banned at least for the duration of the season.
You are then unbanned for the next season BUT ranked its locked out for another season so effectively 2 seasons your acc is locked out from competitive lobbies
TBH alot of players who unknowingly played with cheaters would get banned also. Once made friends with the best closet cheater i've ever met but after like 2 months we discovered that he was cheating never seen him since we confronted him about it.
I only abandon QM if it’s a shit map like night haven or lair. If they had goddamn map filters it would absolutely cut down on early match abandons. I don’t think QM needs a penalty for leaving at any point though, just give solo queuers an opt in option to fill mid match games for some extra reward and filling would be much more consistent.
Also U can't compare Valorant and LOL with R6, because every round in R6 is a 'fresh start'. V & LOL have economy across rounds/time that can't work as is, when a player just joins an ongoing match.
Ubi should allow a map avoidance filter, like back in the old days, just put a max amount of blocked maps to like 5 in place.
Nighthaven isn't shit
@@zoriiginalx7544 Nighthaven is not good. Horrible for Solo Q. Half of my teammates can never find their way through the map well.
I've got it decently memorized, and it's not terrible, but it's not good.
Bruh y’all think lair is trash then u haven’t played it in high ranks the map is wayyyyyyy better then the shitty consulate rework I’m just glad they’ve made new maps but as someone who really enjoyed old consulate they have made that map garbage in comparison to any other rework
I like the latest maps, my issue is just with casual and leaving matches with other not so great maps
I stopped caring about this game just this season. I never really played ranked all that much, maybe 2-4 matches a season. This season, I was feeling really into it and played a lot. I queued up with a buddy who was in the same boat. As of writing this, we have only played together, we have the same KD, and we played about the same amount in previous seasons for ranked. We are consistently in emerald/diamond lobbies, yet I stopped making elo in high silver, and he is in mid Plat still making great headway. I would get it if maybe I actually played a lot in previous seasons compared to him but I played the same amount. Same case if he had a better K/D or even anything that would put him markedly higher, but at this point I lost interest. So disheartening to play the same matches with the same stats but be left in the dust due to some invisible number that I have no way of effecting. I'm debating making a new account just so I can possibly get a higher hidden MMR so I don't feel so disheartened in ranked matches.
This is why ranked 1.0 is needed, as annoying as it was playing higher ranks than what you are you’d lose less and gain a lot more if you won. And obviously you don’t play a lot of games, so placements would get you to that rank you deserve instead of having to grind your way up to it
Seen some of your vids recently and now I’m getting back into Siege. I’m so ass compared to where I used to be lol
I played one game and deleted it not long after 😂 I tried but was quickly reminded why i deleted it in the first place
Either force ranked players to exclusively play with others in their rank, stopping them from playing with friends in other ranks (terrible plan) or stop taking a computer game this seriously this late in life ( best plan) its sad tbh.
The saddest part about a cheater on siege is the can still die💀 where as say cod or apex if you cheat and die your actually bottom of the barrel but same with rainbow it’s just funny cause they get headshot
42:27 quote of the week… “I don’t know about that one”… exactly what I thought
In CS I think any elo changes were reverted if a cheater was banned in a match. That would get rid of people paying for cheater boosts.
I love you Varsity! Hope your vacation is nice and relaxing!
I don't really see a point in having abandon sanctions in casual. it makes sense in ranked, but not casual. Is it annoying af to have a teammate drop? Yes, is it the end of the world? No, not really. Some people have shit connections, some people have a real life, including kids, pets, work, etc. that require their attentions at the worst times. those people tend to stick to casual modes. Now if they had a means to ONLY penalize people whom regularly rage/troll leave games with these sanctions, then sure, it'd make sense. They've yet to demonstrate that they do have such capabilities, however, so it doesn't make much sense to have them for casual.
TL;DR: Casual is for normal people and noobs, stick to ranked if it bothers you that much. 🤷
So playing devils advocite for the interaction at 27:05. You would be able to spmewhat hear that Iana pushed into Freezer due to the whole area being metal and the wall being opened as it is, the only questionable aspect is whether or not youd br able to hear a person switching from Crouch to prone from that far away. The stack i play with doesnt do that hole because someone (usually me) is on the boxes he went to just before the c4 chuck
I’ve encountered implanted spies in my console lobbies before. Just recently I had a match go 4-4 and in the round he stayed rappelled while all of us enter the building to play. It is now a 1-5 and he is nodding in the motion of “no”. What the hell man.
13:58 yo that's a sexy stack
Nuka just had that dawg in him
You could tell he was decent looking player game sense and aim wise. But i do think he was cheating
6:40 Also a German cheater told a streamer that if he manages to get banned for something else than cheating then the system won't role back MMR ...that's how he boosts people without them loosing their ranked (I mean that's what he said, don't know if it's true but if it is...ubi needs to step up)
55:07 I mean part of the reason I don’t play these games is because of this, I think a lot of people complain, also I have friends that have WiFi and computer issues and dc at least 3 times a play session, unless they get banned in which we have to switch games because we literally are not allowed to play anymore
didnt looked more then the castle kill... bro u saw his schadow xD ofc he know then were to aim
i think the first dude just got the varsity charm to make it to champ
doesn't the new commendation system makes it so these boosted players do not get the rewards at the end of season due to being dishonorable after getting banned? Or is it just easy for them to play a couple games after the ban and get their commendation back to high enough for them to not be left out of the rewards?
Bro I don't think people care as much for a few A Packs as you think they do
@@_DMNO_ The rewards include any Ranked rewards at the end of season (background and charm) which is the driving factor into these people getting boosted.
As he said in the video (around 6-7min-ish) people just get boosted to champ by blatant cheaters and then the worst they get is a 2 week ban, then they come back from that and no matter what they do they've secured their champ border and charm with no real punishment.
imo getting a serious ban like that should AT LEAST lock you out completely of getting Ranked Border/Charms but right now I think these people can just play a bunch of normals and build the reputation back by just playing, which is pretty damn stupid imo.
It'll be buried but in Match 2, the Ash vs Frost/Lesion gunfight, KevO (playing Zero) is on a drone until Lesion is killed.
Maybe that's this missing info that can confirm/deny cheating?
Hey Varsity from my understanding, they no longer do that 15 day ban for being boosted by cheaters. I have seen people lose thousands of MMR but never actually have their rank reset. I haven't seen a ban for being boosted by cheaters since at least phantom sight
I will stop leaving quick matches when Ubi quick match will make sense. As a Gold/Plate player, I don't understand why I should face a champ so I just leave when I see it's not going to be fun. I don't care to become better, I just want to have fun and have a chance to win.
I've found that if you just play the match out, it can sometimes be worth it.
I'm similar ranked and if you're Gold/Plat getting matched with Champs, they are probably very shit Champs.
Apparently that's what this whole big boosting problem is about. Lower skill players get into Champ rank, but they aren't Champ skill.
Try a little harder and they'll cry knowing they aren't as good as their rank says.
It is just a game after all, meant to be a fun team shooter
@@_DMNO_ Well I agree, I can beat Emeralds and maybe Diamonds players and if there is just one guy better and the rest is Gold/Plat, I usually play the game.
But for exemple, a month ago I faced a pro player from SSG (official account, etc).
We played it and got destroyed 0-3. Total combined killed by my teamates in 3 rounds? 2 kills. I'm still looking for the fun experience.
i hate facing low ranked players in QM as a high ranked player. It’s not fun just running and killing them with 0 effort and i feel bad for them also, im sure it isn’t fun for them either
Bro posting from vacations 😭
The ranked system is a joke now anyways. I know plat level players that get to champ now every season. I play with them in those lobbies and it just feels like old plat lobbies.
im silver and im getting put against people who were previously champs or current emeralds
@@mutdog2184 yeah it's a joke. Not even a game worth taking seriously anymore. I only play it to goof around now. For that it has very good potential and I don't think it will ever lose that.
Litteraly last night i soloq in diamond lobby and queue agaisnt 2 pro league player ( top 1 champ and 2 top 10 champ ) and the other 2 where top 600 champ
@@blackops599 yeah the matchmaking is horrible now the games don't feel consistent at all to your rank. Though I do enjoy the ability to play with friends at all ranks now
@@moisto_o3036 Im just getting back into the game, never played seriously but i was about a gold rank player but jesus this game still thinks i got that dog in me after 2 1/2 years of being away
I only have 400 hours over many seasons but because I have thumbs and more than 2 brain cells apparently I'm in emerald hidden MMR. Hard pass on that. Why would I grind for rank when I get matched against plats and emeralds anyways? I see why people boost honestly it's not like the ranks mean shit anyways it's pure status/prestige.
varsity wanting greater penalties for abandoning...
Me who had the game crash mid ranked game and wont let me re join the match and I get hit with an abandon sanction....
Match 2 is a knower
38:33 i have noticed that if a higher ranked player plays with 3 or 4 lower ranked players, the matchmaking will put the squad close to the lower rank.
I have played with 4 silvers and just deleted the enemy team while just fucking about. not because i am good but just cause the enemies were a way lower rank.
For the first match you can tell they're all queued together because of the reverse friendly fire. Since two of them team killed it flagged them all.
I have been solo queueing this week and been getting stuck with 5 stacks on the other team with 2 champs with a couple bronze/coppers and at least a plat in copper/bronze lobbies almost every match… the boosting in ranked lobbies makes the game borderline unplayable at times (for reference I’m a copper 4)
ayyy its scorched darrin for like a second but darrin is there lets go boy
now i understand how i keep getting the worst champ players on my team in ranked there just boosted
The problem is that not all of us are boosted,a lot of us just don't have dedicated teammates,my wiin rate is 4.6 and I'm gold.
It's hard to find people that want to play to to win. Shit I can't even find people with mics half the time
I miss the days when we had to do some real detective work to find these cheaters siege is in a sad state
Oil up I'll be there in 10
Easiest way to make this harder by a landslide- dont let diamonds play with any rank below diamond, dont let emerald play with any rank beow gold, everyone else can play together. Now a booster needs 3 separate accounts to even get someone to diamond AND you can podibly ban him
It use to have a MMR cap, but they took it out so "we can play with friends" but all they need to do is just put them in lobbies with the highest MMR. I prefer the old system but the way it is now at least make it so you play at the highest skill in the squad. It doesn't fix shit 2.0 but at least it stops boosters, well you can still cheat boost but that's not going anywhere unless they get better anti-cheat. You cant boost off your 4 "copper" friends if you're put into lobbies of your highest friend. You'd have to all have the same rank level to get the easiest matches which means you're now just playing rank how its suppose to.
The reason people like the no penalty in QP is so when you're waiti8ng for your friends you have something to do and can leave at any moment without a penalty. QP isn't serious at all and at least my friends just go there to warm up or mess around as we take the other game modes more serious. I also don't care if my whole team leaves in QP as I don't care about what happens and I only use it to waste time waiting for my friends to get on, or to do stupid things without anyone getting mad.
I came back to the game after 3 years and last time I played I was plat 3 and was in diamond and champ lobbies super fun system
so ben is safe?
It’s not Ubisoft it’s a law and I believe in Germany you can’t ban anyone paying for a live service and I think Ubisoft counts as a life service
what did i miss when did you get 10 million renown
lets a go!
I think casual or quick match should not have a leave penalty. I usually instantly leave a casual or quick match when there is toxic or sweat in my team. People might tell me to man up to take it, but I honestly don’t feel like wasting 20 minutes on a match that is mentally torturing. Casual is casual, if you don’t feel like it leave. If the sweat think i suck, I leave so I don’t be liability. As for standard, a one day penalty is enough as people do leave because life calls.
How have you got 10million renown
Nah, penalties for leaving casual matches would make no sense, especially since no such thing exists in other bigger games such as Battlefield, COD, CSGO, etc... It wouldn't make sense to add it to casual at all.
Tbh i think that ppl that plays with someone that is cheating for multiple matches (in the same party) should be permaban aswell, cuz if it happens once it's a case but for more than 2 or 3 matches, that guy in the same party knows that he is cheating.
I like when he posts hacker replays. Always wondering if im ever gonna appear on one because even i think i look sus for how i play or get certain kills.
Am i the only one who noticed The kapkan in match 4 called november the name at the top right was Foxtrot? is that part of streamer mode or?
Abandon penalty for leaving quick match is crazy...
Nah it’s pretty fair
@@andrewwbj it’s casual, you should leave at will if needed
@@JDpewpew no other game does it. If you can’t play, don’t queue
@@andrewwbj you’re the type of person that made casual feel like ranked 😂
@@JDpewpew your the type of person to queue a game then leave after one round 😭
on the abandoning matches topic for people who join in progress we need some kind of reward for sticking thought it a few days ago i was level 96 on the bp and it took me over 4 hours to finish the last 4 levels because i kept joining 0-2 or 0-1 games then losing i was barely getting any progress but then a friend got on we played 3 games full games and won and i got the last 2 levels done instantly there needs to be more punishment for leaving and for people who join they need some kind of reward for playing it out
I’ve been saying this for years especially since R6 tracker used to show who people have played with, how many games and if they’ve played with cheaters.
There is no way r6 tracker has that information but ubi doesn’t it’s absurd how obvious it is when someone has over 100 games with various banned cheaters but they won’t get banned for it
Also if they banned people for being boosted it wouldn’t just stop boosting it would affect the amount of cheaters in total, I believe a lot of cheaters do it because they make money from boosting
How did they f**k up a system that was already broken. Im a low gold on solo trying to rank and Im fighting against plats and diamonds. If that wasnt bad enough, I got dudes today literally tracking me behind walls with a 16-1 kd and guys holding the wildest angles with iq lmg with 0 recoil.
Hold up boosts costs 400 dollars? 💀
As someone that plays more than my friends the rank diff is crazy but i just like to sweat w my friends man
You know whats crazy? Beeing cooper and facing full stack of diamond and champions. You know whats even crazier? Facing team liquid stack while cooper.
Do people send Varisty these replays or is he apart of some siege type CSGO Overwatch thing where they can review reports?
Yes, u need to send it to varsity
@@silviodrvenkar348 how would I go about doing that?
If I queue against a cheater early in the morning I just get off. 99% of the time I’ll get re queued against them
I ain’t even peep TylerTheAffable is on my friends list
Fun fact, there’s a real correlation between cheating and committing real life crimes.
Earliest I've been to my favorite R6 RUclipsr but yeah boosters are a big problem enjoy your vacation
I’m hard stuck emerald because I play solo queue all the time but I get in to enough champ lobbies that I don’t see the need for boosting, I get into more champ and diamond lobbies than I do emerald
Match 2 was the most obvious cheater I've seen by far lmfao.
Edit: Also that QM abandon penalty is the most L take by far, considering I, and my friends play LoL and everyone wishes they could just leave a match without getting a penalty lmfao. Just a vid of L takes and saying an obvious cheater wasn't obvious
bros got 10 mil renown wtf
Just good recoil control duh
this season has been full of boosting players. all throughout my copper and bronze lobbies i was getting plat and emerald players. even a diamond here or there
Dude I'm playing Champs and Diamond in Bronze rn
It's so stupid
bro has TEN MILLION RENOWN. WTF
tbf banning boosted people is hard. for instance i play with my friends most of them are bronze at absolute best while im like em/plat obviously this leads them to ranking up to gold ish every season. i am technically boosting them but i just play with my homies. yea its not with cheats which ig makes a difference but still hard to detect id imagine
Wait cuz I didn’t really start playing Ranked till this season (started 2 seasons ago) and I’m already plat 5 😭
Or, and bear with me here, instead of a permaban, they fully reset that user's account. I mean everything to zero, every pack they've opened, every skin they've unlocked even skins from prior seasons that no longer available. Everything. Make an example out of them.
I mean… you’re just saving them from buying another account really… but that way they could at least flag the account as a past cheater to be less lenient with reports and stuff
how can you see if someone is queued together on R6 tracker?
Most cheaters nowaday is dropshotting, no recoil, hipfire headshots, more hp or just take no dmg at all, esp, etc. They also dont know where any regular cams are. But they still play like Silver. Also like to add that 180ping aswell its almost impossible to hit them. I almost feel sorry for them. So bad they would be hardstuck Silver without all the "addons"😅
Aye man my first time ever making Plat I was legit bullied for it 😂 it was back during Para bellum when placement matches still existed but all im tryna say is through that 10 win streak I fucking earned those Ws my man Idc if I left the game 2-8 at some point or another I made a play to impact the game and help my team win thats all I care about I was getting bullied by anyone I played with because at that time you can see everyone's KD ratios mine was a 0.7 through the process of those 10 games 😂 like wow woopty doo I didn't go positive in 10 games so crazy 😂😂😂 idc how bad people are if your actually trying from point A to point Z and at end of game you can tell me you effected the game in 1 way or another id want you back on my squad anyday of the week hate playing with people who constantly drop 12k games then blame everyone else for losing like maybe you should have a 20k game 🤷 idk bro my 1 kill coukda been what allowed you to get 4 more maybe me being dead dropping pings helped get your ace idk bro 🤷
We all knew the Devs are cowards
So varsity those 300$ for a month thing isnt real the cheats are abt 100$ for "undetectable" closet cheats and 100$ for "undetectable" blantant cheats which are actually undetected thats cad btw
guys i might be dumb but at 12:45 does it say defeat and he got 1000 rp, is that a bug or is that some ubi shit, im not rlly a pro in things like tracker
I still think if Microsoft is smart and the gamecompanies thay make mouse and keyboard available like mw2 mw3 wz and make a higher end version of the series x(close to a max spec pc) thay could get everyone on xbox just because you can barely cheat on xbox, honestly the only thing i am proud about as a xbox owner 😂
Xbox ppl are the mains ones who xim I literally played one in rank last night
@stolonell2790 xim shouldn't work, but it works on both ps and xbx man I know and it sucks, but atleast it's aim assist on steroids and not as bad as pc is 🤷🏽♂️
how do i send in a clip?
Where's twitch chat gone 😢
imagine not being able to ban cheaters when there’s a literal website that has the api stats pulled.
all these champs with 1.8kds and 70+ w/r not getting banned lol
Why would Ubi want to ban a booster players.. ban accounts cant keep spending on Battlepasses and Store stuffs...
Feel like jinxi has found a good way to get rid of them. 1v1 showing them how bad they really are
