    Yea, no. I don't think that's how it happens.

    I think Casual has to do with a LOT of other things - Including your left matches, words spoken, and general game play..

    The details of how Casual's MMR work are largely opaque ... but clearly whatever system they have in place is not very accurate. People can create smurf accounts and the MMR doesn't automatically peg them into matches appropriate to their skill level. Instead you end up with matches with Plat1 smurfs matching into rounds with brand new players, etc. Ubi needs to put every iota of data they have into the matching system ... including account emails, account credit cards, statistical performance, and every other imaginable scrap of data that exists on a player. Then you build an MMR off of that and only allow players to match into rounds that are appropriate.

    But right now whatever they're doing is pretty lousy at matching. Might as well just randomly assign every match,. At least with totally random teams the distribution couldn't be deliberately gamed by trolls and smurfs.

It has come to a point where you can't physically enjoy this game unless your're playing so hard to the point that your palms are sweaty. I can't enjoy this game when I have to play like it's a Pro League match (which takes the fun out of everything). Everyone sweats and New Players below level 40 are just completely ruined in game by kids who do nothing but sit on this game all day long. I love this game, I do, but the players are the most toxic people of any game I've played in the last 5 years. Even CoD fans have this game beat at this point. After the recent meta of picking all 3 speeds and rushing obj like it's nothing and ruining your team like a fat man with a bag of doritos. Please fix this meta, nerf operators for more than 5 damage like that somehow is going to do anything significant. Ubisoft at this point just does not care and frankly I'm don't either anymore.
    The game is ruined, completely ruined.

    Smurfs, derankers, mouse/keyboard users on console. Hackers on PC. Broken hit detection, broken lag compensation, old, worn out, tired maps, broken operators, run and gun META, broken match making... anyone who actually takes this game serious is a f**king moron. But, here's the thing... Ubisoft doesn't give a ****. They're making fists full of money off the pro-league and all the 14 year olds they've addicted to it. It's about money for "today's" gaming companies, not the art, not the passion, not the story. Rainbow Six Siege was the best idea in FPS history and Ubisoft completely f**ked it up because of their greed.

    The bottom line is this. THEY don't give a s**t. As long as 14 year olds and 20-something man-virgins flock to their pro-league and people keep buying R6 credits for the Ash "fishing" skins.... they aren't going to fix jack.

    I think you missed my point, you stated in a previous post that English wasn't your first language. There's nothing wrong with being a 20 year old virgin. The comment was meant as in insult for those who dedicate their lives to a video game and follow it because they're unable to attract a woman (or a man).

    Well i love videogames i play them so much maybe too much if you ask my wife.

    There is nothing wrong if you want dedicate your life to videogames not everyone wanna attract women or man or helicopter in their life. Beautiful thing in this world is that most of the time you can do what ever you want on your free time, only thing is that people like you judge other people what they do and when you judge people regardless of a thing it only tell that you have something missing on your life and you try to help it byt judging other people that you can feel better for yourself. But you know what, it doesent help end of the day. you cant be happy if you judge others.

    I don't know if I'd go that far..

    What you want out of it is your choice. Good thing about games is that you don't have to invest any more time than what you feel like. So if it's no for you then you have other choices. If it's that you like the game, but think it can be improved, then by all means throw your ideas, thoughts and feelings out there. But to make blanket statements like you do means you're selfish and hold nobody but your own self responsible for your own feelings. It's a forest through the trees thing..

    If the game frustrates you as much as it appears to from this comment then why do you even play it? If the game bothers you so much then stop playing it. No one is forcing you to and there are other great games out there. You're just shooting yourself in the foot by continuing to play the game

    I have to agree with the guy to be honest. As someone who played in Alpha, i have the fire skin to prove it, i have 1200+ hours now in siege and i've watched it spiral downhill since DLC 2 Year 1. I took an extended break of over 1.5 years as Season 3 Year 1 rolled in and came back to a game that was... Beyond broken.

    The hit-boxes will never be fixed, they were actually better at the start of Year 1 than they are now, and yet we won't ever see that again. The glitches and bug exploits come in the dozens every new season, to the point now that operators and items were completely removed from the game to prevent some. The hackers are out of control because Ubi seems to have the most useless version of Battle-Eye. The MMR and Ranking system has always needed a rework and hasn't received one hence why it's been in BETA for 3 years. Relying on your team is such a pain in the *** when you have to Solo Queue Ranked, which is why it's rare to see people Solo queue. If you do see someone Solo'ing, beware they could be insane.

    What annoys me the most is that at the beginning of Year 4 at their reveal, they said they were going to stop adding content and focus on fixing what they already have, but i am yet to see a real fix that makes the game function how it used too. Now i understand that coding isn't easy and adding one thing can change other things.. but this is just getting out of hand. If it's not a new shield glitch, its an invisibility glitch, or map glitch... Let's not mention the fact that the Crosshairs were misaligned for over 1.5 years when aiming down sights.

    A few things that would make an exceedingly large impact on this game in a positive way;

    A; Remove all shield operators from the game completely. Or remove them until you can guarantee that they are balanced and fixed, because they are beyond stupid. Both playing as/with and against them is broken. Shoulders clipping through shields, Hit-boxes failing due to animations of the shield (I.E. Knives not connecting) and a myriad of glitches to boot.
    B; Fix hit-boxes. Properly. Work out weapon penetration, because a bullet hitting a hand in-front of someones face should not be blocking a head-shot. Shooting heads and not getting
    head-shots is a problem on it's own. Animations are causing massive issues with hit-boxes. Before anyone calls, it's ping, I sit at a max of 20 ping in 99% of the games i play in Siege. Majority of the time i'm at 9 Ping.
    C; Shotguns - Fix them, they are almost un-usable as a defence operator on most maps. The lack of a head-shot modifier and an Un-Realistic spread and lack of range, make shotguns a
    stupid choice in most situations. Especially against Attackers with ACOG's. Add a choke attachment or something, for the love of god.
    D; Ranked MMR - It needs more of an Emphasis on Solo play. If someone is doing better than the rest of their team, or they are carrying, they deserve more MMR and the others deserve less. It might be a team game, but this would prevent hackers from being able to carry people through ranks and it would also prevent smurfs from being able to carry their friends through ranked.
    E; Casual - It's no longer casual, as was stated in OP. It is a cesspool of sweaty kids, half of who never play ranked and that is the reason they are sweating so hard in casual. I'm unsure of how they would genuinely fix this, but as was also stated, a decent matchmaking system would be nice.
    F; Spawn Peeks - I have no issue with run-outs in the middle of a match, i think that is fair play, risking yourself to potentially even the odds or get an edge. HOWEVER! The map creators blatantly have no idea what they are doing when it comes to preventing spawn peeks. Windows over looking spawn points, oh let's just put a box there so they can't get shot right away, but we won't think about how the will get out of spawn. This is probably one of the biggest issues in the game, as half the time, people don't even get to play a round because of it.
    An extremely simple fix for this, would be to just add the red barrier for 15 seconds into the start of a match. Preventing run-outs, preventing spawn peeks and giving the attacking team time to move out of spawn and start their assault without having to duck and cover the whole time. P.S. Hire new map designers because the last few have been absolute trash.
    G; This isn't a real issue, but how good of a base game is Siege to have a permanent horde mode? Right?

    Anyway, in conclusion, he is right... This game is stupidly broken beyond belief and people just accept it, even when the majority don't like it. What you're saying about just stop playing, doesn't help the situation at all. He's putting his voice and opinion out there and i know it's a well shared opinion but most people don't bother saying anything for that fact that people like you just come back with "Waahh Waahh Uninstall Waahh".

    TL;DR - **** be broked.

    Not on console we dont exactly have a large library of tactical shooters. Although i have high hopes for insurgency sandstorm. I dunno what it is i mained snd in cod and snr in cod ghosts(man i wish theyd bring it back) so they idea of a game that revolves around that mode appeal to me. I like having to come up with strats on the fly.

    The problem for me isnt necessarily the game its the devs.
