I just stumbled upon these old screenshots and it kind of made me laugh. Back in the peak era, I was #1 on the hardcore domination leaderboard. These were just a few examples of what team balancing feels like when you’re that good, I’m sure some of you can relate.
Look at my clan tag, that’s how common games like this were. I almost always played solo or maybe with one other person because the other sweats in the playlist would back out if I was in a 5 stack.
It’s not about the kills, it’s about the damage and objectives score mainly. I truly used to have to sweat my ass off just to barely win or lose games.
But I would still take this system over modern skill based matchmaking any day of the week.
