Shroud is Top 0.5% in duos. His stream snipers, that seem to get into 8/10 of his games, are rarely even top 20% I don't know who told anyone this game does matchmaking, but it doesn't, or does incredibly loose bracketing based on skill.

In other words, the bottom 20% generally play with each other, the middle 20% get grouped, etc. The problem (if you see it that way) is that the skill gap between the people bottom 80% is very small compared to say a top 10% player and Shroud. In other words, as you get better the players you have to defeat to get a win are exponentially better than you.

Higher your rating the higher the average rating of opponents in your game. The game also has a priority to fill games so stream snipers can get into the "low end" distribution of shrouds games. This is also why if you win a lot you'll have a game where you dumpster the entire server and get 6 rating points (because you were the top average mmr squad in the round and were heavily favored) to where you scratch and claw for a win and get 16 points.

If you're way more highly rated than your victim, you don't get many rating points. Conversely, if the person who kills you is rated like a walking toilet, your ranking drops drastically vs if you died by someone in your rating area.

So, even though they statically shouldn't count, they do, making the actual MMR brackets wayyyyy taller than they should be. The solution would be to do something like make them play 3 games in a newbie bracket before factoring them into the actual rankings.

Sorry to interrupt this conversation, but PUBG is my first real FPS and while I have gotten marginally better at shooting as I've played it, I still have incredibly awful aim. Does anybody have any good resources they want to volunteer for like, learning to shoot good at mid and long range, how to properly use scopes, how to adjust your sensitivity settings, etc.?

Lower your sensitivity and play other FPS games (CS:GO deathmatch). After that, start watching chocotaco and do what he does. Don't move when you are shooting. But you also don't want to sit in one place too long and shoot. You kind of want to shoot a few times and then move in different directions (strafe). Keep repeating that. I'm sorry this is your first real FPS because in my opinion, it's a very difficult one to learn at this point in time.

So are there any good resources on learning on how to position well in the late game? My group can survive Pochinki or Hacienda a reasonable amount of time, and top 10 it fairly often when we make it out of the hot zone we usually drop. Our problems seem to stem from figuring out where we should be once that circle starts getting smaller and whatnot so we have problems closing the deal. A boatload of 2nds, but only 2 wins. We are also olds who only get to play a few hours a week and don't tend to have time to watch folks on twitch for hours at a time to figure this stuff out, so looking for crib notes here

Make sure you have mouse acceleration off. Under your mouse settings this will be called 'enhance pointer precision' or something like that.

If you are winning these places I would legitimately recommend driving directly to the center of circles and holding buildings. Minimize the amount of movement you have to do late in the game and give you the best options for cover. (Don't hide in the buildings, actively be looking for people to shoot from the buildings and surrounding cover). Otherwise, play the edge of the circle game. Move towards the edge of where the blue/white is the thinnest and move in while the circle is moving in. Repeat for every circle, clearing any possible flanks from each side.

Go play a few thousand hours of CS:GO. Not even joking. CSGO develops all of the essential skills to get good at FPSes and its a very punishing game. Plus the skill ceiling is insane, I have a few thousand hours in CSGO and I still get poo poo on by dudes when I play ESEA.

I can't find it at work, but someone posted a video on setting your sensitivities that helped me a lot. I think I dropped everything by 50% or more from where I had it (so low-to-mid 20s now). Your Mouse May Vary. This means I had to unlearn a lot of bad habits but my aim improved perceptibly. Also fiddle with the various scope-specific sensitivities, since you should be ADS for most shots anyway.

I turned it off and my mouse moves around super-fast with my current DPI (3200). So, I turned it down to 1600 and it feels more normal.

TBH I think having huge DPI numbers is just something mouse sellers do because bigger numbers = better, I have not had it translate into anything except wanting to turn down the sensitivity.

big DPI numbers mean countable precision. lowering DPI with your fancy mouse software keeps that precision and lets you turn down the funk to manageable levels im not new to fps but incredibly loving new to trying hard after years of CS and GO. apparently you go out and buy a 16,000 DPI mouse and set it to 800 in software. then you go into MSCP and set the mouse > pointer options to the 6th tic and disable all acceleration and correction/smoothing i did this recently, its good. its the same thing as having that deathadder elite set to 16k DPI and having .001 ingame sense, which you cant actually do here like you can in CSGTFO. mine is currently at 800 software DPI and 55 ingame sens. with this, you slowly tweak your ingame sens down as low as you can tolerate. a lot of people measure 180 or 360 degree distances on the mousepad. it is, apparently common, with these settings to move your mouse 6 inches to achieve a full 180 turn. maybe another source will tell you 8 inches is the perfect amount for a full 360 return to center. this is all relatively decent advice, you want to be able to use your mousepad to turn all the way around, and essentially, train yourself to pick up the mouse and replant it for "faster" high DPI tracking. that or get a giant loving mousepad for more fidelity either way, this is how nerds think about input settings, its dumb as gently caress but the impact is noticable

You get lucky with the circles letting you hide until the very end and then pray they die before you. Comedy option: spend all game collecting 100 frag grenades just to drop them on the ground at the end and hope they blow themselves up.

I finally for a brief moment in time broke 2.0 K/D  And then the duo that was ranked #6 dropped with us and brutally murdered us in what's probably been the most I've ever been outplayed in this game. NZAmoeba posted:How do you manage to win in solo without killing anyone? Because that guy has done it three times. I've won about three rounds where the last enemy died to the blue zone. One of the matches I posted here finished in a guy dying to the blue circle offscreen and victory popping out of nowhere to me. I'm pretty sure if you keep bashing your head against the wall doing pacifist runs you're gonna win a few times.

Cinara posted:I can confirm that hiding all the time does not lead to actually winning much. My IRL friends tend to be very cowardly in this game, and as such most of them are not great at shooting people before they get shot. We tend towards a 10-15% win rate purely because there's only so many games I can win solo. That and I start making dumb plays because I get bored. Sounds like my play experience with my IRL friends. Also flying a minimum of 2 squares every drop because god forbid another team might be within a 5 min run of us.

Probably ran him over by accident with a boat. He also always dies to bluezone when he makes 2nd, so you might think he is just camping there. But no, he also never heals. This person is a true enigma.

This person is a true enigma. I'm unironically impressed by how reliably he can get to second place without being killed, that's not trivial. No matter how cowardly you play you're bound to be seen by someone and that will force some confrontation. And super confused as to why there are games where he just dies early on. Makes me think that he needs to loot some basic healing stuff before he moves on to whatever MGS strategy he has. It's super weird. The only logical explanation I can find is that he glitches and gets under the terrain and sometimes he dies trying to do that. Khablam posted:Shroud is Top 0.5% in duos. Some guy on reddit posted this. It's very loose bracketing but there is a very obvious matchmaking if you compare the start of the climb to the later matches. Especially because the bad players at the bottom die early on and for the rest of the match the average player is much more troublesome.
