So I read this forum ALOT..perhaps more than is healthy and I play PvP when I get the chance. I love it honestly but my experience does not mimic the majority of posters.

My rank is 44, I main an engineer. I don’t see many 4v5 in Solo queue and most of the time I eek out more wins than losses. About half of the time, the scores are competitive (less than 30 point difference). I see a lot of negative comments on Solo Queue so I have to ask, is the play issue a Level 80 problem?

I have played on weekdays EST and weekends EST. Sometimes at night. I see more issues in the a.m. EST around work hours but that’s just the 5 min it takes to make a group of 10 players.

Are there any mid to low rank players that find SoloQ to have drops/score issues?

Rank literally means nothing in regards to matchmaking. It’s all based on a hidden rating value. However, keep something in mind when you read these posts:

1) Bad experiences stick in your mind more than good experiences (generally speaking), so sometimes it feels like more 4v5s than it is.

2) Getting 4v5s is a fairly random occurrence. It’s a form of RNG. With any form of RNG, there will be outliers. Those outliers are the ones more likely to post about it on the forums.
