XDefiant is EXPOSING it's Players!!!

This game make me want to get better because NOW I know I’m not as good as I thought. MW made me feel good at times, then I’ll lose 1 or 2 games and be back fragging.

Im almost positive we are just witnessing people realize they are not that guy

I can tell there is no SBMM because I finish at the bottom every time.

Its funny how people think just because there is no SBMM, means they will have an easier time playing the game 😂😂

All of your points are valid... and I'm one of those players who realized that I was outclassed coming into XDef. XDef is punishing for sloppy players. I've been a small map pub stomper for years so I'm going to have to up my game. Great video!

In my opinion the game is not hard. It's just that it really punishes you for your mistakes. If you miss one bullet in a gunfight you lose.

I know many people won't agree with this, but this game does something that cod hates, punishing you for mistakes, whether they are easy or not easy to spot.

My lobbies are 50% pretty easy, 40% medium, 10% tryhard. Honestly I just think people wanna play with bots at this point.

If you’re in sweaty lobbies, you’re the bot.

If anyone really likes the game but is frustrated with there improvement I'd recommend sticking with it, this game has similar mechanics to apex legends, it litteraly took me like 3 years of slow improvement to become a pred (top 750) but the entire journey of getting better was awesome

It's sweaty yes but honestly i've had more chill lobbies then sweaty it's like 3/10 are sweaty, it feels to me i can tryhard one game then the next i can mess around doesn't feel like im being punished for doing good the previous game.

Honestly, all FPS gamers are sweaty these days thinking they're going pro. I haven't had a match where everyone wasn't bunny hopping constantly. All I want is a game of good old run n gun game play.

I appreciate how you managed to find a polite way of saying "skill issue" lol keep it up dude.

Facts and that is why EOMM is bad for gaming. All these people that were protected by cod will simply blame something else other than themselves. Would kinda be interesting to see how much money they (protected players) spent on cod bs.

It reminds me of old cods where your highs are high and your lows are extremely low, that being said it promotes a desire for growth we haven’t seen since old cods. I understand that sweats are everywhere but that’s to be expected, if you don’t wanna get rolled get better just like you would have to in old cods.

Its like people dont understand that CoD has been around for multiple decades and every player thinks they are a streamer or going to go pro and play in tournaments. Ive had bunnyhopping tryhards nonstop since my first game. SBMM turned on or off will never solve this issue.

Wouldn't be surprised if the majority of legit diamond+ cod ranked players were playing XD rn

These are some good points. I went into the game proper last night after exiting the Welcome playlist and I found theres usually 1-2 sweaty players treating the game like their life depends on it, while the rest of the lobby is far more casual.

It’s a new game with nothing but try hards at the moment. You summed it up well! The casuals will filter in over time

People who think no sbmm means "easier" or "less sweaty" lobbies clearly have not been gaming very long. Mathematically speaking that means unless you are in the top 10% of players it is more likely there will be 1 or 2 players completely dominating than there is that you get a lucky lobby where you are the best player in the server. No SBMM by its nature is less "competitive" only in the sense that the teams are likely to be unbalanced. Unbalanced teams means someone is getting shit on. And if you are bad it's you, over and over.
