Why Are Competitive Drives Only 4 Days Long?

-

I’ve been really struggling with the competitive drives lately. It feels like 4 days is just not enough time, especially when I’m constantly losing and facing demotions. It seriously frustrates me when the drives come around, and I just lose match after match. Why can’t they extend it to at least a week? It seems ridiculous to me!

A lot of the issue comes from smurf accounts. You know, when better players make new accounts just to stomp on noobs? It ruins the game for everyone who’s actually trying to get better!

It’s a mixed bag out there. You’ve got players who are genuinely trying, some throwing to get rewards, and others who are brand new to competitive gameplay. I’m stuck at 1600 now, and I’m just losing to the dumbest teams!

I can relate! I had an Ana who wouldn’t switch and ended up with 1k healing and 17 deaths. How is that even possible?

Honestly, I’m relieved it’s only 4 days! Longer drives would just mean more chances for players who throw games to mess it all up. It’s tough to deal with those kinds of players as it is!

Totally! I had an experience where someone was clearly using aimbot in my matches. 5 games, 5 losses, and only one was fair!
