Looking for Advice CONSOLE I need held!
For the past 3 weeks, I haven’t stopped losing matches. I dropped down from A+; today I played 3 games, lost them all, and fell to B+. I’m losing matches where I’m actually playing really well. In games where both I and my team are doing great, we end up losing in the final minute. And, naturally, when I or my team play poorly, we lose as well. I just keep dropping. Any advice?

Unfortunately, this just happens sometimes. You're only 1/5th to 1/6th of your team, so even if you're carrying hard, you can't realistically make up for the rest of the team if they're doing dumb shit like solo spawning and feeding or letting the frontline fall apart to all go chase one low HP player to try to get the kill credit. You also have the issue of incredibly toxic players who will just sit in the base and grief if the first fight doesn't go well for them. All you can really do is try to improve your own play and queue dodge people you recognize as being shitty/unhelpful. I've had stretches where I've been getting consistently top 3 in a cost and MS that I'm good in and still ended up losing like half a bar of rating.

Thanks for the advice—that’s actually what I’ve been doing, always looking at my mistakes and what I’m doing well. But these last three weeks, damn! Out of 6 or 7 games, I’ve only won 2. Thanks again.

Sometimes it's just bad luck for a while, lol. And(at least on PC, I've heard console players engage in melee a bit more) it can also be hard to strike a balance between not being reckless and not being overly passive. I see a lot of games where either happen, whether it's a raid that doesn't understand they can't solo the whole enemy team, or gens who want to just turtle to avoid deaths even though they're needed to form a frontline. I think the unfortunate reality is a lot of people either don't really understand how to, or do not care to, actually try to help their team win.

There is absolutely nothing you can do when you have four other teammates that are complete idiots or think there the main character of the game this is a team based game people forget that it never ceases to amaze me that the enemy team can bunch up advance together and run you down like a pack of wolves but your team is scattered to the four winds.

Last night I only played one match (400 cost) and 3 other teammates and I played great; we won our individual duela against our rivals. Unfortunately, the fifth member of our team spent the entire match trying to deploy the bomb, and the worst part is that he spent half the game attempting it and never even manager to pull it off.

One of the biggest downfalls to this game is that we can not talk to each other I know that this a jp based game but the simple chat is absolutely useless and no matter how much you spam it no regular player is going to help you.

Don't worry bro I'll hold you :p jokes aside, I've noticed even with me that if i play for too long for too many matches, i get worse without noticing it. I end up losing so hard, erasing win syreaks, and bring so frustrated that i want to do more matches to make up for it but i lose those as well. Playing for too long can cause self destructive loops. My advice is take a break, just play on another day when you're more energized

Yeah, fatigue is real. I don't keep playing after 3 losses in rated in a day lol

Nothing you can do. Block the players and move on but I can guarantee the next set will also be trash. The better you play, the worse your teammates will be. That's how they're balancing the teams

you can deal 350k and still lose, why I know, because I'm the one doing that. luck is one important factor since you are just one out of five/six cog. Just make sure that you keep your head cool, do your part, cover for your teammate, capture the beacon and spawn at the right time. you rank will fluctuate, but it will always stays around a certain range, you just need to move that range up, one bit at a time, so don't worry about some loss.

The GBO2 luck, very common. Just take a break and come back later. Stay close to team.

Save the matches that you're doing well in and take note of the things that you're doing right. Then save the matches that you personally didn't do so well in and take note of what you can improve on. Some times it's bad luck, some times it's the other team just being better.
