No. Also, I clearly didn't even insinuate that the challenges are challenging. I called them dull, insipid, boring, unfun, etc., but never challenging. If they were challenging they'd be at least stimulating and exciting in some way. Instead they're merely a lengthy distraction from what makes the game enjoyable, like having to do your chores before you get to play outside. And yes, as I said in my very first post, I'm aware I could just not do the challenges, but A) I want the rewards, which is exactly why game companies add these timed challenge systems to begin with, and not doing them makes me feel like I'm missing out; and B) I could also just not play the game, which as of late is the option I've been taking.


Not everyone is a Diamond level player and I play with friends who are bad at the game. It's pretty normal to only win about half the rounds you play, anyway, and add another half on top of that for the matches you don't end up winning. 5 rounds played for every 2 you win seems pretty reasonable to me.

if you're seeing blood clouds its a lag thing, i think?

Smug as fuck.
So I'm a very casual player of this game (maybe 5 whole matches a week) but I've noticed just recently latency seems to be really bad?

Even when I'm sitting mid 50s I get the rubber banding and telltale janky movements.

Not even talking about finding games, actual in game latency.

Playing casual trying to get the baguette last night. Came across this turbo nerd https://play.eslgaming.com/player/8299948/ and then every match after that I get put against uber try hards just like him. Played for 3 hours and won 8 rounds total. Lotta fun.

When playing Bank and spawning the back alley, anyone else having the enemy team rush out and attempt a spawn rush? It's happened the last several times I've played that map. Enough to where I expect it and immediately aim at the door.

can't always expect a spawn rush, but any player with a clown mask or three should know to be ready for them every round

its also good to just assume the defenders will try to flank you and/or jump out of windows with a 2 second lead before being spotted

here's a hot tip for not getting spawn killed or peeked: don't just start sprinting at the start. wait a little bit(in cover) and take it slow
hth

as far as bank goes all the spawns are lovely and the back alley is actually the safest if you are prepared to fight back against the spawn killers(why not do this, it's free)
