I am a 0.86 ranked KD PLAT2 (good teammates) – 0.96 general KD player. I am have accepted the fact, that I am not any good at this game.
I do also believe that a chill game, or casual players do no longer exist in this game. Every lobby is tough, it’s sweaty, it’s competitive and everyone guns and plays with godlike knowledge.
Side note: VPNs do nothing. Go NA they say. Nope. Get smoked. Do AUS. Get smoked. EU lol 😂 the worse of them all.
SEA , I say no more.
My general playing lobbies. Are SOUTH AFRICAN. It’s no fun. The game is just too difficult.
I wish SBMM would be toned down just a bit. I can’t imagine what lobbies must look like for 1.5-2kd players. Unless those the guys shitting on us 0.8kd players 😂
Final remark: how do streamers still get bot lobbies in pubs when we can’t?
Or do they make an avg lobby just look like bots?
🤖 I wish there was a theory I could read on “how to become cracked” at this game.
Or an in depth explanation on which settings on a DSE controller allows both movement and AIM.

The game is built for dudes like this kid lol. Casuals. Nah. As someone told me. It’s time to find a new game. They probably correct lol. 😂

It’s an online PVP game, it’s not meant to be easy.
If it was easy for you in a match then all the people you easily killed would think it’s a hard game. Sbmm is working correctly. If you fought yourself would you win every fight? The closer you are in skill the more intense the fights feel.
Do you play on 120hz? If not u are basically free kill.
Try crossplay off resurgence seems botty
2 KD here and I find that I’m in lobbies with demons and I mean demons. I posted here about this earlier…..games mental 😂😂
Dear diary, I am trash
I yearn for the olden days where they hadnt implented that horrid SBMM and everything was more random.
improve your aim and movement. i know cod subreddits love to shit on sweats who yy and do fancy movement but it definitely helps a lot. also try and challenge people more, i’ve noticed most people don’t have very good aim and they’ll lose their gunfights midrange or if you challenge them head on. your mini map is your friend so every time you full an enemy check your map and see where their team gets pinged, this will allow you to plan how you will approach them if they push you.
as for your settings, you might have to tweak them a bit so you spend less time moving your fingers from button to button. i suggest trying out claw as that’s what a lot of sweaty streamers use and it allows them to have their right index finger close to the reload, jump and swap button. either that or get some paddles and set them to slide and jump.
some other small things that helped me are watching some top 250 streamers and just casually shooting bots and practicing movement in private lobbies.
I’m a 1.6 kd resurgence player and for the record my lobbies are absolutely oppressive. We aren’t farming lower KD players we’re simply trying to survive the pits if hell every night we play. I thought the release of ranked would make pubs a little less sweaty but that didn’t happen. Heck my ranked matches were easier than pubs till I hit diamond.
They do if you have a netduma router. Not necessarily bot type level easy lobbies but DEFINITELY and I mean DEFINITELY casual lobbies.
This game has a brutal introduction for new players.
Bro you get SBMM on your side AND skill based hit benefits you. How are you struggling the game is catering toward you. Plus why the hell are you trying to VPN when you already have SBMM working for you… maybe it’s time to play a new game
Of course, VPN does nothing, you’re 0.86KD.
I occasionally get a “bot” lobby but most of the time it’s not casual playing experience…streamers play 20 games a day bound to get some bot lobbies too
You think competitive shouldn’t have competitive players in it?
Ok a lot to unpack here. Here we go. I am an overall 1.4 KD player, but my recent 10 games has been over 2 KD for a few weeks now, even higher for resurgence (ranked is lower though). I feel like I have been getting a lot better at the game recently since I started thinking about why I died instead of blaming teammates, cheaters, etc. I think about what moves I could have made to outplay the other guy. I watch Icemanisaac and CuppaJoe a lot and watch their tips to get better. Play patient but aggressive. My favorite example of this is Nickmercs. He recently got back in the game and when you watch him play, he will be patient and wait for someone to come in a door sometimes, and others he will full aggro someone. It’s about know when you need to hold an advantage vs when you need to just YOLO in there as a last ditch effort.
Try not to get caught rotating late, that will get you killed a lot. If teammates are doing dumb things, don’t suicide with them. If you expect someone to be somewhere, keep your sights centered there as you approach (a doorway for example) so that you are already aimed where they are gonna pop out, you just ADS and shoot. Tons and tons of things to get better, but the point is that yes, people are sweaty, but you are also very capable of doing the same thing and improving. It won’t happen overnight but don’t give up. Just keep learning from your mistakes instead of playing blindly and never improving
I’m a casual. I get reasonably good results. Yes there are sweats. Still I do well enough and it’s not like I’m really good or anything, just average.
I been stuck at Plat 3 for 2 weeks now. Right when Im about to turn diamond, I get slapped down a few hundred. I don’t get it! I think the game is rigged to keep playing! I watched a video on YT today and this guy broke it down. It’s algorithm based to keep you playing and spending money. I’m truly beginning to believe it too. Right when you are ready to quit. They throw ya in an easy lobby and you do good. So then you feel like you are “warmed up” then you go back to getting slapped around. It’s all a mind fuck really. To keep you addicted to playing and wanting more. Which I’ll pin the video in here if I can find it.
Here it is! Dude saying the game is basically rigged to keep you coming back for more. Which I’m starting to believe. Watch this video and let me know if maybe I’m just crazy! Lolol

I think it would be a totally different game if there was no ability to get your loadout weapons through drops or buy stations. If it was all drop weapons and wonky ass perks—I think that would be hella fun
When you mix fast ttk, zero recoil guns, strong aim assist, shitty servers, eomm and hackers every lobby feels sweaty
You’re playing ranked and complaining about the lobbies being hard? lol
I have a 1.8 kd in pubs and 2.4 in ranked and every game is sweaty, you really have to try as hard as you can just to place top 5 or higher, it’s filled with sweats in every lobby to the point you can’t just chill and enjoy a game, occasionally there is a bot lobby every few days, but for every bot lobby you get the next lobby is like everyone’s playing a pro cup
If people tell you go NA for easy lobbies they are stupid. Probably someone from EU that literally thinks their region is hard.
They haven’t existed since Warzone in Verdansk.
It’s all relative tho
Dude I’m a 1.3 kd player in ranked multiplayer and I’m only plat 1
A lot of cheating doesn’t help.
What do you mean toned down a little bit, you’re like a 1.0 KD? Also yes, they just make people look like bots rather than them getting bot lobbies often. If you see in ranked sometimes top 250 players get put against each other, you see how small the margin of error is when they fight each other and how fast they die. It’s insane, they aren’t normal players.
Custom vpn scripts and join in session will give easy lobbies regardless of your location/time although these exploits won’t be nearly as advantageous in areas like SA compared to NA.
There was a lot of bot lobbies but a lot of the casuals have left for other games like hell divers.
What exactly do you want your lobbies to look like? Guys ignoring to use the tools available to them just because it’s not ranked..?
I love how people say “tone down the SBMM” and what they actually mean is “I want to shit on people worse than me, it’s not fair being shit on by people better than me”.
Everyone want’s to ruin someone else’s fun. But nobody thinks that it’s going to be their fun ruined by people sweatier than them.
