It does get somewhat better in silver, but only sometimes. Half of the time you get a competent team that actually communicates, the other time you get players that barely know what strategy is
the bronze lobby has to be the most random match making algorithm, one match im with 3 iron and an unranked lvl 10 and another where i get matched in a silver lobby
Thats exactly why a bunch of players (including me) didnt start with ranked but spent like 200h in challenge to get prior experience before grinding ranked next season :(
And then there are guys who just jump into ranked as soon as they can without even knowing the agent names. I once talked in chat using agent's name and he asked "Me?" while using a complete different agent
One of the problems I have encountered in Strinova is the fact that there are three different languages: Spanish, English, and Portuguese. Because of this, trying to maintain communication becomes very difficult. There are even people who don’t say anything for this reason. As a Latin-American, I can tell you that I have many contacts who, not knowing how to communicate in English, remain silent, and this results in no contribution to the team.
The no comm thing extends all the way into gold, I played a 6am ranked match one time, I got 3 gold and 1 plat teammate when I'm a silver and not a single one used comm. Coming from CS2 this game's playerbase is the most allergic to using their voice it seems.
the only slots that i played for ranked. was getting put in a high proton lobby as a molecule. i was very nervous, but i managed to do well suprisingly. (game ended in a tie)
my mic is broken so i always ask or tell the plan before round start , but my team just ignore and rush in like CoD lul ( losing 10 games repeated make sanity goes br br )
You've been in a few games with me and a couple against me. I think we won all the ones we were together cuz I'm always with my duo or trio who aren't actively experience braindeath lol.
The crazy thing is, I got Atom 2 as my placement rank and then started grinding again, hoping to at least reach Proton rank. But nope-the game basically said "fck you" and slapped me with a smurf ban... multiple times... even while I was on a losing streak somehow, lol. The matchmaking and report system are kind of broken right now. I don’t even know why I got banned for smurfing/boosting when I always play solo and don’t even perform that well all the time.
My worst match was prolly me in gold being que with 4 bronze. 2 controllers who dont know how to use their skills and an audrey who cant aim. Suffice to say we got steamrolled
I don't understand whenever you use push to talk, you can see your own character UI interface showing to see that you're actually talking? like some sort of visual feedback on my end it doesn't seem that way. Were you queuing with a friend for it to trigger? I can see others pressing their own button and having it pop up but never shows my own for voice visual feedback.
Im on silver 1 for now and with the community problem i think its not from the players only but from the game itself too, for example my voice chat alway broke and i cant hear anyone comm or comm with everyone in game, so if they dont hear u maybe try chatting instead of voicing
i knew something was off when meredith was entrying
wow theres no ming and double sniper on 404 too this is awesome
Relatable random APAC low rank experience
it took me way too long to realize that the legendary maddelena skin's white paint is coffee creamer. you can see latte designs very faintly
its a lot more obvious as the enemy, as it actually looks like light brown like a latte with the art
I love splashing my cream all over the enemy :)
when you said in the intro "communication is the key" I thought that sounded very sarcastic, then what i expected happened
i've been called out...
I was like, damn, this how pros at work huh. Waitaminute... Kay.
The reiichi when you ask to play with team part is so real
What did we do😂?
I mean canonically accurate reiichi minus losing
18:57 Now you see that's what I call the APAC difference, if the language isn't mutual then at least the derank will be
The pain of matching with random rankings is crazy
Ranked games inflate my ego, not because I’m good, but because the collective IQ of my teammates make me look like Einstein.
It does get somewhat better in silver, but only sometimes. Half of the time you get a competent team that actually communicates, the other time you get players that barely know what strategy is
7:54 I love this mind set! Come backs are sooo sayisfying
the white paint
THE WHITE PAINT
These videos alone have convinced me to start playing ranked
the bronze lobby has to be the most random match making algorithm, one match im with 3 iron and an unranked lvl 10 and another where i get matched in a silver lobby
Thats exactly why a bunch of players (including me) didnt start with ranked but spent like 200h in challenge to get prior experience before grinding ranked next season :(
Facts
And then there are guys who just jump into ranked as soon as they can without even knowing the agent names.
I once talked in chat using agent's name and he asked
"Me?" while using a complete different agent
@ About to prove "You improve faster in ranked" mfers wrong
"everything will be just fine..."
Famous last words

You got me, absolute cinema🙌🏻
The grind to get out of Elo hell is like doom slayer fighting demons but the air is so fresh when you arrive to the surface (am silver 3)
That is exactly why I now see ranked as something I can laugh at. Also solo is our hell
truly is one of the experiences of all time :^)
Good video, look forward to seeing your content in season 2
My rank up game from silver 4 to 3 was me getting 25 kills as bai Mo. idk what my team or the enemy team were doing
as a gold player, this is what i feel matching bronze players. as a gold player, this is what my diamond teammates feel when i match with them.
nbound posting absolute cinema
The moral of the story is find a duo.
As a person who was molecule before and first time reaching atom, I felt that pain from my past losing matches 😭💀
lol even at my high proton low neutron games there are no comms
recently nobody is chatting in world chat and i cant seem to chat in battle too
The no comm thing extends all the way into gold, I played a 6am ranked match one time, I got 3 gold and 1 plat teammate when I'm a silver and not a single one used comm. Coming from CS2 this game's playerbase is the most allergic to using their voice it seems.
No comms is pretty normal in diamond and plat too. I don't mind no comms as long as we have a good team comp and everyone plays the role.
the only slots that i played for ranked. was getting put in a high proton lobby as a molecule. i was very nervous, but i managed to do well suprisingly. (game ended in a tie)
Being in APAC, its a lottery to get 5 people who all speak the same language. Now I don't play ranked :)
I was in your game at the 6:30 mark. I'm bad at game though, even with our victory.
YIKES I WAS 1-8-8 IN ROUND 10? I WAS PLAYIN HORRIBLE.
Glad I picked up to 3rd on team, I was wondering why I sounded post tilt on my GG lolllll.
Valid,, my pain stuck at molecule
This is so real
I got up to like 70 in molecule 1 but I can’t rank up to atom
nice edits omg 🤣
No cause like no one uses their mic in this game ( 3:26 lol its me)
6:39 ....those two literally my substance if Lawine being picked
I enjoy the editing
i love that madd skin so much
4:14 MOM I MADE IT IN AN NBOUND VIDEO
YOOOOOOO IM YVETTESCHAIR, SICKKK YOU MADE INTO HIS VIDEO (im sad i didnt)
In Strinova, there’s no one winning.😢
Good video grinding be tragic see you next season😂
What setting do I have to click to have his crosshair? Like the one that doesn’t expand and shrink when u move
to get out of bronze u just need to press LMB when u see enemy, its not that serious
i agree. we out here havin fun
my mic is broken so i always ask or tell the plan before round start , but my team just ignore and rush in like CoD lul ( losing 10 games repeated make sanity goes br br )
time to restart for next season!
I only subscribe too see you make more strinova content, Please daily content I'd love to see a daily strinova content creator

That Rick Roll Got Me 😂😂
You've been in a few games with me and a couple against me. I think we won all the ones we were together cuz I'm always with my duo or trio who aren't actively experience braindeath lol.
Hey can you cover on "how to ace bai mo"?
wow i always wondered how much points you get in bronze im still wating for my first win
The crazy thing is, I got Atom 2 as my placement rank and then started grinding again, hoping to at least reach Proton rank. But nope-the game basically said "fck you" and slapped me with a smurf ban... multiple times... even while I was on a losing streak somehow, lol. The matchmaking and report system are kind of broken right now. I don’t even know why I got banned for smurfing/boosting when I always play solo and don’t even perform that well all the time.
I started playing rank for two weeks and silver 3 now, and i usually matched in a all gold player lobby,the soloq experience is not good honestly
yea im just gonna hit proton next season
peak content as always
maomao n jinshi mentioned 🔥
i love apothecary diaries
Sometimes I met a decent player in match, after game end and we try to partying the ping always spike up.
i need this Maddelena skin for no particular reason
Susge
bro, ithink i need someone talk like this in one of my games :(
Imagine being good. Couldn't be me.
(I've been stuck in the same rank nearly the entire season helb)
3:57 wait... that's me...
The struggle when you're bronze and keep getting put in gold lobbies is so real
Like put me in gold when I am gold please😭
Hey that’s me :D
I'm in so much pain from strinova... 5 L in a row, am i just that bad..? No.. it's the the ranked system who's wrong
5L? Try 37 L
Silver 2 down to substance 1 0 LP
2 things in this game
You got a good teammate and garbage enemies team
Or garbage teammate and good ass enemies team 😂
i gave up push ranking because of this🙏😭
No way y’all made it back from 2-6
i'm him
5:50 Bronze moment right there.
its hard to play ranked since I play in a server where people have different languages, out of 10 games i have 1 person who speaks english.
My worst match was prolly me in gold being que with 4 bronze. 2 controllers who dont know how to use their skills and an audrey who cant aim. Suffice to say we got steamrolled
I don't understand whenever you use push to talk, you can see your own character UI interface showing to see that you're actually talking? like some sort of visual feedback
on my end it doesn't seem that way. Were you queuing with a friend for it to trigger? I can see others pressing their own button and having it pop up but never shows my own for voice visual feedback.
i ws queuing solo for a good bit of th8s video, could be a bug
ALSO are you not in the meow cup tourney?
nah
6:38 uhh... hi
5 game lose streak?? nah bruh 11
NA benefit of everyone speaking English
i hope me enjoy watching this game me from indonesia
Im on silver 1 for now and with the community problem i think its not from the players only but from the game itself too, for example my voice chat alway broke and i cant hear anyone comm or comm with everyone in game, so if they dont hear u maybe try chatting instead of voicing
5:43 i Min
Nope, im sorry you are wrong lmao even if reichi decides to play with a team he wouldn't do shit because it's his first game in ranked 😂
Hey I knew I seen you before, you destroyed me in that game you got to silver in (delilah802)
I am in a discord where I've met a lot of people in Bronze/Silver. You should join us!
don't recommend attack painter but good aim
thanks i never played attack painter
@nbound oh my bad i thought you were attack painter in a space lab clip
4:03 YOU LIAR
there was an alternative universe where she actually got saved. unfortunately this was the funniest outcome
