Are the games that you put along the neck of the guitar games that you play more often or is everything on that screen just randomly arranged (or is there some other organization here)?

I try to categorize them but then it turns out no matter how you go about it categorizing doesnt lead to equally long lines and then I give up. The blizzard games don't even launch from the icons anyways haha.

It is a frustrating game and it has been dead for a while but I’d like to get back into it.

I almost never get cheaters in my games, and I played almost everyday last 3-4 week. If it bothers you this much come on discord and ask for an EP game?

Even if you actively try to get a game within 8 pr you still fail. I've been waiting for 15 minutes now to get a 1v1/2v2 game, its impossible. Time to uninstall to save disk space.

3v3 random lts is the proverbial gutter where all hacks used to gather and who are now all 29+ ranks.

But TONS of smurfs...

Forgot his name but this Sioux player RAPED me with his mix of CA and AR. I tried every imaginable age 3 brit combo, but got raped.
After the game I saw he was PR 15 with 500+ games. Kek.

Every now and then a 1lt joins my game and "Hey Snuden, you want free PR? I need to lose some rank"

You really shouldn't get upset for smurfs. I don't really understand why people complain about smurfs, playing with better players will help you to improve.

I don't complain about it at all, it was more like a statement.

You can just queue a QS game play in windowed mode and watch your daily YT videos/read your newspaper/ESOC whatever. You'll find someone eventually.

Because playing fair matches is more fun

Yes it does.
Back when I was captain, I used to play a lot with pr35+ players (I've played about 60-70 games with El_Pistolero_) and it really helped me to improve. I also played a lot games vs garja and bsop (about 30-40) when I was pr32-33, and I remember that back then I didn't win a single one vs bsop, but again, it really helped me.

Not everyone wants to improve and become a top player. For a lot of people the joy in video games is in the game itself, playing competitive matches and having fun and being casual. Yeah, getting completely bent over by someone who's ranked lower, probably by a demoralizing troll strat, just isn't fun, nor is it in honest, competitive spirit nor in recreational utility. It's great you played vs higher-ranked players and improved a lot and enjoyed it but you can hardly apply the same concept to a whole group and argue that -- let alone introduce smurfs.

Agree... Even matches are more fun.
Sad thing is that I kinda lost my desire to win. Not really feeling it anymore :(

Sad.

Even if I liked playing with better players, I'd still dislike playing with better players disguised as smurfs. On the other hand, it's impossible to get games going if you're a high ranked player because people don't want to play with you, so I get the smurfing too. It's just annoying though. I love this game, but if there are countless other things to do I wont spend 30 minutes trying to get a game going to then play a game for 15 minutes against some lt to then wait 30 minutes again.

Finding games vs. higher ranked players on patch isn't very hard, unless you flame/lag alot or use disliked game "features". People rarely smurf on patch because there's really no need to.

For MS to 1st LT level there's almost always a few lobbies on RE so really no problem there either. It's usually not too hard to tell if an account is a smurf or not.

Not if it's Butifle's smurf

Unsurprisingly you completely missed the point. Playing vs better than you helps you improve. Playing vs someone who you think is 10 pr lower than you but is really 10 pr higher than you doesnt.
