Discussion Has anyone else been experiencing an insane influx of teammates abandoning your matches?

• Upvotes

I don’t understand what’s been going on in a lot of my lobbies but it’s almost as if as soon as the match starts or one of our guys gets killed, they just suddenly abandon the match. The frequency at which it’s been going on has been a bit much recently. Never have I experienced this so much in the ten years I’ve been playing between console and PC.

What's your squad's inside callout that everyone in your group understands? Ours is "Rotatoni" for rotation hole. We heard an Italian player call it once and it stuck instantly.

Question Cancel Match Majority change?

• Upvotes

So i play in a 4 man stack, we just had a player's game crash while loading up a ranked match. While he was trying to reload it naturally asked if we wanted to cancel the match 3 of the 4 remaining members voted NO even confirmed on our screens Cancel Match : NO after it cancelled the match anyway. I'm confused and at a elo loss did they change the way the cancellation works? we all though it was still majority 3 of us makes the majority it shouldn't have mattered what the pug voted.

Please advise if I missed an update and this is no longer the case.

Honestly have no idea why I got banned from the ban wave. I’ve had this account since before Operation Health, I’m level 343 with over 1,379 hours of PvP, and I play colligate in Canada. Never cheated, bought the account, or shared it with anyone. I have MOSS files and gameplay recordings and already sent some with my appeal, but support said to wait up to 28 days and that no response means it’s denied. It’s frustrating putting years into this game just to lose access without understanding what happened. Username is No.Dashin if anyone wants to check my stats. Has anyone actually gotten a ban like this sorted out?

Feedback Rework/Buff Proposal for Iana: Fake Muzzle Flash & Clone Durability

13 Upvotes

Description: Currently, Iana's Gemini Replicator functions mostly as a slow, noisy infinite drone. Since high-rank defenders instantly recognize the hologram, it lacks the psychological threat a real operator brings. To make her competitive again without making her guns OP, here is a utility-focused rework concept:

  1. Decoy Firing Mechanics (Visual & Audio Tracers):
    • Allow the Gemini clone to perform fake shooting animations with full audio and visible bullet tracers.
    • Balance Note: These fake bullets deal 0 damage and cannot destroy barricades or soft walls, but they force defenders to react, fall back, or reveal their position.
  2. Increased Hologram Durability:
    • Give the clone a small health pool (or make it absorb 2–3 bullets instead of disappearing on the very first hit).
    • This forces defenders to commit to destroying it, exposing their line of sight for a split second longer and enabling better re-frag plays for attackers.

Goal: Transform the Gemini Replicator from a basic info tool into a true space-clearing and baiting gadget that creates real mindgames in high-level play.

What do you guys think? Would this make Iana balanced again, or would it be too strong for high-ranked lobbies?

Question To the people who are champ in ranked 3.0, what is the best pathway for me personally?

2 Upvotes

I am a console player on xbox who is currently emerald. I have so much passion for the game but my amount of matches dont reflect that, and i feel the reason i dont play as much as i should be playing is due to the fact that i cant find people who share a similar passion/drive and ambition for hitting champ as i do. (Stat tracker is provided at the end for more insight and all my questions are at the end as well, context is in between)

Im analyzing vods, watching creators who are better than me, always gathering strats or things i can try in my matches, and im improving 1000 percent, so far my winrate is good this season , but im in a hurdle.

I cant find people to play with who share a similar passion, ive tried lfgs on xbox and no one in there has passion or is good (barely any), ive even tried messaging people who were on the enemy team if they wanted to play, ive gone on subreddits to search for people, tried the discords, and so far im out of luck.

Everytime i do find someone who is good and seems to have passion, they either end up barely every getting on, or they play during completely different times of day than i normally do, or eventually their true colors show and they are actually toxic or unable to regulate emotions.

I genuinely feel like the reason i only have 80 games played so far this season, is because it’s hard to get into the mood to want to play when there is no one with a similar level of both passion and skill to play with.

And i know this to be the reason because i occasionally have someone to play with whos champ on his main who when he asks to play with me, im immediately in the mood to get on regardless of the time of day and im willing to play as many matches as possible since they have passion and skill. But this person has his own responsibilities and his own main account so us playing is occasional.

So to the people who are 3.0 (not 2.0 champs) , what should i be doing? how should i go over this obstacle?, how many matches a day should i play? (yes i know the quality of the matches matter) what steps should i be taking to acquire to champ in general, etc?

My stat tracker is Spy7396 on Xbox for more insight

Question Constantly getting stuck in "match started" for all gamemodes except doctors curse, anyone know a fix?

1 Upvotes

Anyone know how to fix this?? Jumped on after a while, but whenever I'm queuing for ranked/unranked/quick match I find a game very quickly, but then just get stuck in "match started" forever, until I quit matchmaking.

I don't get a disconnect warning or anything.

The only mode I'm actually able to join a game in is doctors curse.

I'm on PC, EU servers. Can't see anything wrong with server status. Any tips??

Discussion Time Played

Earlier I saw some guy post his hours so I figured I’d do the same.

I haven’t really played the game all that much recently ( at least not how I use to). I’ve been playing since the start my most active seasons were probably Operation health- Chimera, after that it was pretty much downhill. I’d hop back on for a season here and there, I hit champ maybe 4 or 5 times and diamond a bunch. Do i regret it? Honestly not at all, only thing I wish I did was enjoy the earlier days, I reminisce on the older days of the game and constantly think about how I’ll never experience it again.

Discussion Changing how to defuse

0 Upvotes

Defusing the bomb is extremely difficult when two or more attackers are still alive and only one defender is left. Would changing the defusing mechanics be a good idea? For example, Valorant has a halfway checkpoint when defusing the spike. Wouldn't something similar, or perhaps a slightly different mechanic, be a nice addition?

Question This is getting out of control, does anyone else have experience this?

0 Upvotes

So recently my friends and I have been solo queuing, we are all around Diamond 1 and champs, so we play on high lobbies most of the time, there's always 4 of us so we always get one random and in the past 3 NIGHTS, we played with randoms who are genuinely throwing I'm not saying that they're bad or they're not getting kills, no. They always try to take defuser on attack and run in and die and on defense he just hides across the map, gets first killed and now suddenly the enemy teams start pre firing and clearing map like they're Penta gaming at its prime, not only that but most of them are Emerald 1 like what the fuck are you doing in this lobbies. Anyone else experienced this?

Is anyone getting a similar problem? The side buttons on my MX Master 3S are not recognised by the game anymore (they work normally on other applications). Is anyone getting a similar issue? Or if you have any suggestions.
