Another gleeful mocking of Pixonic I think Pixonic was out to get me, me personally. I lost 10-20 games in a row -- true, I was in the top 3 every time, but I feel Pixonic rigged my account. Why do I think so? Because at one point my game waiting time was 1 minute, as if the game was waiting until I could be pitted against a death squad. I try never, ever to quit a game upon seeing a death squad. It's bad for my team, and I hate losing rank points. But I had enough. I thought "-21 points isn't a big deal. I'm high enough in the Champion League." And, lo and behold, after quitting the match, I was immediately thrown into a game where we won, and I won 1st place. As long as Pixonic decides to rig games against me, I think I may find quitting the occasional game helpful and stress-relieving! But let's keep this between us, shall we

erik1 Your secret is totally safe with us. Probably. Maybe. Well, pretty frickin' unlikely. Thanks for the intel. I haaaate quitting games but if keeping pic honest means quitting 1%, who knows, I might. I've been lucky, the death squad distribution has been average.

I definitely have the same sentiment, plenty of times I've been matched against S squads, skipped them just to get matched against another 10s later. Even three in row but those are rare. Is it on purpose? Idk I play exclusively solo.

Did you specifically quit or just disconnect/shutdown device/take a nap?
Perhaps an explicit quit causes a higher rank penalty than a logout or idle out.

At that point I just didn't care, and 5200 rank points minus 21-30 rank points isn't super hurtful to me. Like I said, it seems to me that I always get first or second place even when Pixonic places me on the losing team over and over (only a conspiracy theory, mind you)
