I think there is some sort of SBMM applied. We played duos and we messed around for a few games to test it and after about 5 games without a kill got put into much easier lobbies. Not necessarily with more actual bots though.

Yea maybe.
I know there is a level based system, because occasionally I'll play with my step kid who's like low level bronze, if I par with him then drop in a 4 man with 2 randoms, it'll almost always be a game full of really low level and low skilled players.
But I always thought that alone isn't the best, because levels are from experience/play time but doesn't necessarily tie in with skill, you can be max tier 500 and still not be great at the game.
You might be right though, because we drop in to standard games and sometimes you just seem to get absolutely rinsed, and then others not.
I always used to avoid ranked because of sweaty players, but that if anything seems to be more forgiving then standard these days.
Also makes you wonder how many people are cheating in standard mode, I noticed a whole ton more since the game went free, this was always going to happen. Even dropped in with some randoms, guy on our team was cheating and admitting it openly on voice chat, just said he can make another account when he gets banned.
But makes you wonder how many of those who are smarter/ better at hiding it.
I dunno.

Oh man I miss the small maps, just the occasional game would be nice.

Is it just me that detests Rondo? Back out every time.

Vikendi is the one I hate.
We won our first FPP duo of the new season. On good old Erangel.

Literally all weekend its been Vikendi-Deston-Vikendi-Deston with the odd Rondo (= back straight out). 30+ games and Erangel once, no Miramar. Joke.
Normal or ranked? Playing ranked seem to be getting Erangel/miramar mostly this weekend
Soldato
Yeah I dunno why they force maps on you, everyone wants map selection back, no one minds about wait times or bots. If people dislike bots that much play ranked.
To be honest.....Just play ranked, I honestly think its the better game right now.
Vikendi is ****, the old one was one of my favourite maps, the new one is ****, polar bears, seriously? Aside from that its just a big round island, no real features, one compound just like any other, stupid snow storm, borring.
Rondo....dont even get me started.......
I dont mind most of the other maps, if evenly rotated around, I dont mind Deston or Teago for example, but no when they force it on you over and over again.

Normal. Vikendi just hurts my eyes with that bluey grey tinge. Hard to spot people as well. I enjoy a mix but Rondo I just dont bother with as waste of time.

Played this for the first time in a good few years and had a real blast!
Casual seems to have silly levels of loot, so fun to just get on geared up and get into fights!
Really enjoyed the new desert type map and we got a win on good old Erangel too

30 games this season and so far no small maps. And to make matters worse Erangel and Miramar look to be out of rotation now, in fact every other game is bloody Vikendi.

Anyone getting 100% CPU spike since the last update? I'm on an old 8700k running at 5.0G and never noticed any cpu issues prior to that update. Dropping priority of tslgame.exe to low helps out a little sometimes but then it just spikes back. Only playing at 1080p with most things on very low.

Played this again a couple of days back, 2nd ranked game - clear cheater killed us both (aiming at walls etc). Is cheating still a big issue or were we just unlucky? 
I'm not the best at spotting it but think it has got worse, still in the minority though.Played this again a couple of days back, 2nd ranked game - clear cheater killed us both (aiming at walls etc). Is cheating still a big issue or were we just unlucky?
Apparently they are making a UE5 version of the game.
Soldato
Yea the cheating got significant worse when the game went free, this was always going to be the case, there is less cheating on ranked, a lot less actually, but depending on what level you are you might find it more difficult.
I actually prefer ranked though, I find it easier if anything.

Ironically enough, it was only the ranked game though 
Or at least, what we saw from the few other games we played.
