I find that my performances always seem to be based around the same factor... my duels are either amazing and feel in my favor, or total ass and feel like I can't hit a dam thing. To make things more suspicious on the 'bad' games where I go like 8.20... I see people just sprint out and seemingly one tap me. I'm thinking... hey this guy has to be hacking. But then on the combat report I'm hit by 3 body shots and 1 legs shot.. but the exchange feels so fast, I don't even have time to react and hit them for 0. Another example of this is when someone kills me with a spectre.. It feels like I'm hit once, and I'm like wtf a 1 tap with a spectre? but then I see they have hit me 6 times. But the whole thing happens at such speed that I hit them for 40 or sometimes 0 with a Vandal, and these people are not close to me, they are legit halfway across the map - it's bizarre that they can kill me so fast from that distance with a spectre and I have barely time to fire 1 shot.
Then on the flip side of this.. I have these games where I go 30.10, and people think I'm smurfing. I do nothing different to other games.. I aim the same way and play the same tactics, but I'm there tapping heads and winning every duel I'm in with sprays.. Sometimes I'll empty a clip into someone with a huge spray and hit them 4 times, but then I see they have hit me for 40. So I feel like in these games.. I am the one with the advantage.
So what is this? it is some server thing? My PC? an RNG? is the game rigged? Everytime I get to a certain rank.. it used to be G3, but now with ascendants its P3.. everytime I get there, I get a hard derank with like 15 losses out of 20 games, my career is full of red.. and in almost all of these games I feel like I am terrible at this game, and my opponents have god aim, but really they are not smurfing.. they don't have god aim.. it's this situation of them having some kind of advantage and seeing me first. And my proof is that I check Trackergg after matches to see if the guy on 30.10 is smurfing.. lo and behold... his record is terrible. That 30.10 game will be the only game he has like that.. all that person's other game will be garbage like 15.20, 8.18, etc..... the same as me... every now and then a huge game, with a bunch of terrible games in between.
So what is this? I've been playing this game for 2 years. I don't know why I am still playing it, but I have noticed this. Up until recently I thought it was just me, and people were smurfing, or just really good. But after noticing A the speed at which I am killed by these people's gun fire, B following supposed smurfs in trackergg, and C noticing that this duel crap out always takes place when I get to P3 (previously G3) for the last probably 2 episodes... I know now this is NOT me... There is something going on with this game that isn't normal.
And before anyone says.. but what about people that DO get to high ranks.. I feel that smurfs can get through this, because the primarily hit HS, hitting HS means you can one tap your way through. But for people like me who's aim will never be at the level of a 15 year old kid that can sit and play the game for 10 hours every day... the game makes it impossible for me to rank up. It's almost like it keeps people at a certain level "hardstuck" to keep queue times short, so that 90% of the playerbase revolves around silver/gold/plat.
