Are you on a monitor or a tv... I switched this year and it changed my abilities drastically for the better.
This is so sad right here. That you have to buy a monitor in order to be even remotely good at the game. I refuse to do it, i just have to except that i will forever be a 600 player and that i am going to find myself in games where i have no chance.
It’s not necessarily to be better at this game (although in some cases it is), but more because gaming monitors are better for gaming in every way. I mean, it’s why they exist, right? If you use a screen primarily for gaming purposes, should someone use a tv designed to make movies look good, or a monitor designed to make games play smoother?
Personally, I don’t even own a tv. I play a ton of video games, and the monitor reacts quicker to my input, and is better for my eyes.
I think the point I was trying to make is video games are supposed to be fun, not so ultra competitive that you have to buy a gaming monitor to level the playing field. I dont even have my computer hooked up to a monitor, i have a 32 inch TV for primary use and hooked up to my 65 inch TV for watching stuff that there are no apps for.

Guess it doesn't... but if you (the OP) have a record in this event of 21-64 it might not be that game/matchmaking as much as you (the OP) not being all that good... which was the point I was trying to make I guess
Never claimed to be good. I'm by definition completely average. 35-32 RS record, typically float b/t AS and WC.
But I'm not even getting average results in this event. I'm getting 'Edward Norton vs. Jared Leto in Fight Club' results.

If I see another WS Icon or GOAT Bat...
2 Legitimate wins in the last 37.
Most of them boosted for it and suck, I've never seen so many horrible "ws" players as this year
And for the first time since I started playing in 2017, I simply can't get to the ws. Funny how things on this game are working at a time when the internet is saturated with people. Maybe someday they'll actually go to ping based match making. Then these horrible "ws" players won't sniff the ws. Or I can keep disconnecting until I get to the 400's and beat up on people with silver players and bad pitchers. Pretty funny seeing them desperately trying to win a game while I am starting silver pitchers.
It's all matchups, it should be off win percentage tbh but a lot of these guys match up with scrubs or buddies to get free wins to skate them thru the 800s with .500 records
I liked the idea one guy had with a 15 game "reg szn" then essentially win 4 of next 7 to advance etc

I cap each season in the 700s (mainly due to lack of attempts once I get there I think) but been doing lot more events.
But yeah most of the people I've faced are prestige level with a WS/Goat icon...6-1 so far in the even though so got something going my way. Likely due to AS being generally trash difficulty...I both benefit and get victimized by the early homeruns.

How would this work? If you don't win 4 of 7...you're locked out? Or it just resets back to 0 wins and you got to start winning another 4 of 7?

Restart back in reg szn

Sorry another question....whats the point of the season then? Do you need to get so many wins within 15 games to qualify to make the 4 of 7 series thing? Just seems like a pointless to do the 15 games if the only thing that matters is winning 4 of 7 to advance. Not sure if the person who came up with the original theory thought this out.

Every player i've faced so far is prestige 20 or higher,
I'm Prestige level 30 and I'm still terrible. I just play a LOT this year #COVID.
Same. Prestige 33 and I'm gosh-awful at this game. A global pandemic can really inflate XP gains.

We played last night. GG.
Considering how much you troll people on these forums, you won’t receive much sympathy. Most people probably love to see it. I know I enjoyed whoopin you 6-0

I remember! That was right about when I started lamenting life choices and questioning the existence of an Almighty Higher Power.
Felix couldn't locate a FB to save his life!

First game...opponent will have a 12-0 banner, WS icon, GOAT bat, God squad all prestiged, and hits everything near the zone with 115mph exit velocity.
Second game...opponent is using all silver lineup for dailies with Kluber pitching and a CAP named Mike Hawk, team named suckdeeznutz.I probably lose both games anyways.

Goat bat skin means nothing anymore, I have a friend that has it that’s played 0 ranked games and only plays events online to grind some prestige stats

you must have also collected a lot of cards. I'm assuming that's how people have prestige so quickly this year?
I have - completed LS a few weeks ago.

There’s just more and better players playing now than there were in 17, it seems like a lot of people improved and you just stayed stagnant. It’s funny seeing your name popping up pretty regularly in Facebook groups with the messages you send every single person you play after games complaining about connection...
