Was watching Blak_Status' stream earlier. Definitely improved quality. Will watch again sometime!

Time to hustle and flow my way through this ranked battle...

So yeah. On a totally unannounced stream, I finally made it.

A R A N K B O Y S

The best part is the last match was incredible.

Speaking of which I hit A rank too today. However I was just playing Bumper Brushes, got disconnected decided to play ranked and forgot I had OctoBrush as my weapon.

Our team lost.

Yeah gaf rooms have been getting sillier recently. I guess with private matches it'll be easier to say hey this room is for serious matches and this other one is for escort missions or bumper brushes and stuff like that.

I'll bet those bumper brush games are the first time anyone here's seen me with a weapon that's not a dual squelcher :p

I don't know how, but I just went on a massive win streak in ranked, crawling out of the depths of B, and finally hit A- for the first time. I think I'm pretty much at my limit though. B+ was quite rough.

I think we're all at a point where the map rotation is really getting in our way of having fun, especially with randoms in the mix. We ended up doing bumper brushes after playing warehouse for almost a full hour by itself with a sprinkling of camp. When we can play whatever we want, I'm sure we'll see less of that and more in the ranked modes than anything.

Congrats! I'm working on getting back to B+ myself.

Good luck. I've been bouncing around the B's for a while. The trick is to
get the only A+ in the room on your team.

I can just imagine what the randoms would be feeling when they end up in there.

Huh, people may be burnt out on the game (we have been playing a long time after all) but pointing the finger at the map rotation seems odd. If there were no map rotation people would have been bored much earlier because people would choose the few most popular maps all the time.

I found it fun to take a break from the normal rooms for a bit. It'll be nice to have dedicated rooms for messing around though. I will miss trolling randoms in the mess around lobbies lol

Meh, I feel the more we dive into the newer maps, the more dated the first ones become. Especially as we try out different weapons and styles, a 4 hour rotation of 2 maps doesn't really help keep your creative juices and energy flowing. Although playing on camp when we did get it was great, the combination of lackluster random teammates and warehouse on repeat can get grating. I hope they remake all the first maps, so they feel fresh again. I'm really excited to try Underpass in hopes it's not just a decent CoD map anymore.
 
Okay, I'm done with ranked. If two people on our side quit out of a match early on, and our side of a remaining whopping two players still manages to just barely lose by 10 seconds, then we shouldn't be penalized the full 10 points. This is stupid.

You could just wait for Squad Battles to come out next week & stick with GAF-based teammates.

A+, s and s+ are solo exclusive.

That's what I was thinking.

Until the update I'm treating ranked as a way to get money. I don't care about rank anymore. You could be so good but the true lack of synergy undermines you. I give props to those that stuck with it to get to A rank and beyond, but I've finally come to the conclusion that it just isn't for me :/

Besides that, any gaf rooms up?
