Yeah, but the problem there is, you’re making sense. According to the sycophants here, Jared is new so he is beyond criticism and must be defended no matter what. So we have to just STFU and wait, because him diving head first into useless SMG stats and ignoring the biggest complaint of the past 2 years isn’t a problem for half this sub. He had more concern about fixing replenish that nobody had an issue with than he had for matchmaking, so that should tell anybody that we’re f**ked and this game is doomed. But half this sub is “OMG, Jared is communicating! Nobody say anything bad about anything because JaReD iS cOmMuNiCaTiNg.”

I’m just excited for a month long break after finishing this broken Event Pass that hasn’t given me a supply drop, and I doubt I’m coming back, since Jared has zero clue and no interest in fixing the matchmaking. In his words, hes not equipped to answer matchmaking questions, and it’s not going to happen for a bit. So… the game is f**ked and doomed for continued failure. I’m pretty much over it.

Howdy, I wanted to respond to this because I'd like to address what I believe are potentially misconceptions.

  1. SMGs needed to be changed. He's still making additional adjustments but they were never meant to be where they were. We know not everyone agrees with this, but it's one of many directions we felt we needed to go and part of a larger balance approach.
  2. Matchmaking is frequently simplified and actually a quite complex system. Understanding ELO and MMR is just the surface of how a full matchmaking system works and most of our current team (this system is years old) has not really dug into the backend. If we had a magic bullet "fix" that would make everyone happy we would have implemented that immediately.
  3. This isn't a misconception just more a response around the Event Pass, if someone still doesn't have Supply Drops (you should because they were re-enabled on Sunday) then please reach out to our Support team and we're happy to dig into your inventory history.

Really do appreciate the feedback and patience with our team working on establishing some new process and approaches to content for Rogue Company. No worries if you need a break, everyone does. We'll still be here if you change your mind!
