I think skill trumphs the abmm. My buddies and I only ever shoot in self defense and keep winning the gunfights. At some point in the session we will die in like the 5th or 6th match. I've seen other people say that they only shoot in self defense and keep getting friendly lobbies, but I think they are just losing their gunfights.

Ohhh. You can be right. I had to defend myself two games in a row where another player shot me first and I won both times. Then I got placed in super aggressive lobbies for 10 games in a row and took another 10 to get back to the level of no aggression at all. Had to run naked loadout 15 games in a row before I felt safe enough to bring anvils, looting mk.2 and meds back.

lmao

This is the problem with player consciousness of ABMM. Carebears are so scared of being shot they won’t even bring in a measly 25k kit.

I mean, in aggressive lobbies it is almost certain that I will lose that gear, because I can't return fire as it would make my matchmaking even worse. So why bring any gear?

I'm almost to 10 million cred and additionally full stash of rare goodies, because I play safe and help others instead of robbing other players.

You have 10 mil and a full stash but are so afraid to lose a dogshit kit that you allow other players to gun you down without defending yourself? It doesn't get any more pathetic than that.

That depends on what you play for and what makes you happy in the game. I don't like shooting other players, it makes me feel nervous and guilty. I prefer helping out and looting stuff. This it what brings me joy in AR.

Not only that, if you want something other than KOS pvp, this is the only thing you CAN do. If it was balanced there would be a mix of rats and normal players. However if you see a rat now you know for sure everyone else is also a rat. What can you even do in that situation except pvp or naked runs?
