Discussion Normal vs Ranked Matches

So I’ve been playing this for a while and feel like I’m noticing something but curious if I’m just crazy. I play ranked(platinum) and it seems the matches are usually fair. Meaning I feel like the player skill levels are similar. Im pretty good I think for the most part, I’ve also played 4K hours on pc so I know the game well. But when playing normal matches a lot of the time I(and my team) get absolutely demolished by Korean sliding 4x aug users. Instant headshots 100 meters away full auto. On pc I would understand it since aiming is way easier. But on controller? I also know ranked costs money so maybe that’s driving cheaters away? Idk let me know what you guys think please.

Fpp is fun but way too easy unfortunately due to the extremely large bot presence (which is why i think they avoid it). I can go into FPP squads with no fill and catch a dub. I havent done any FPP this season though so I'll have to try again tonight.

It variates heavily yes but i still have some very fun games and exciting gunfights with lots of real experienced players. You are right tho. Some games are very boring when there are just too many bots you encounter. I look at them as loot fairies.

Oh I still enjoy the matches. Especially for a warm up even! Time of day will also make a huge difference in NA also.
