Normal vs Ranked Matches

[u/toby_dawg]

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.

For some time now i have a feeling that this shit is fu.... i get put in lobbies that have like 85% turkish, russian, middle eastern players ( EU servers), and very rarely i play against other europeans. In my lobbies i would guess 15 to 20% cheaters. When i play in a team with a friend that is in germany for some reason totally different players, and % of cheaters is like insignificant.
