Ranked play thoughts after 24hr stream 1. MATCHMAKING: Ranked play duo queuing is a breathe of fresh air. I’ve never lost so many games in a day and I honestly don’t mind. I got really tired of 4 stacking and default winning games cuz I had the best stack online at the time. The match making will iron itself out when players truly reach their peak rank. People are complaining because players are getting inflated placement ranks and players who are good have not reached their peaks. This creates unbalanced match making where the game tries to balance the teams with current ranks and not true peaks. I played so many pros last night or challengers on one team while I had people who looked like they never held a controller. This problem will fix itself over time as long as players stay active on the ladder. 2. ANTICHEAT I only encountered a handful of cheaters at least blatant ones so that’s good. 3. META/GUNPLAY This meta is one of the worst weapon metas I’ve ever played in CoD. You don’t get rewarded for having better position or closing distance on your opponents because the weapons are too forgiving at unintended ranges. The M15 has a faster fire rate then the Dravec and the Dravec is more accurate then a weapon that is supposed to be able to pick players at range? The handling on the current weapons feels clunky the smoothness of slide to fire in bo6 was unmatched and this game took a step back and it always feels like their is a delay when trying to shoot your gun out of any movement. Personally I would much rather have slower movements but faster gun handling because that’s what’s always been so satisfying about cod and I don’t think the current weapons enable that at all. It’s just boring. The SMG doesn’t feel rewarding to play when you try and play with it like one. The M15 is good but idk man. There’s a reason why we see so many ARs on a lot of the maps and some maps are unplayable with SMGs. The middle ground of both weapons is just meh. 4. THE SERVERS THIS IS BY FAR THE MOST DESYCNED COD IVE EVER PLAYED You get shot around corners, the bullet reg is inconsistent. Aim assist feels different every server. Ping is irrelevant sometimes it feels like. It’s time tick rates get better or something PLEASE
