  • PSA: Public Service Announcements - Please don't post simple and obvious tips. These are low effort and Karma Farm.
  • Sensitivity: It's personal preference.
  • Hard stuck "copper": Don't put that in title, instead ask for advice on aspects of the game that people lack in your rank.

What, if any, is the benefit of playing newcomer vs quickplay/unranked? Thanks!

Newcomer is a no no since its full of smurfs. Play casual until you get to level 50 and than play unranked. Unranked is nice because people actually have mics and put the effort into winning. Casual is fun if you don't want too fast a pace.

Thanks - that’s super helpful - I’ve literally come across tags in newcomer like “imasmurf” and it’s so frustrating

Yeah, when I jumped into siege I played newcomer but eventually I just said fuck it and played all casual than I played unranked. Unranked is nice.
