"There are great clans with bad players and bad clans with great players. And there are potato clans that only play for fun.  And there are clans claiming to be great, that can't play at all. Even if they division. Because they are either too snooty to care, or they go in to a competitive match like Randoms and don't care to win or play as a team.\n\n\n\n\tMost divisions you would be surprised, don't have general chatting on, they either use voice or division chat. They will often disable chat. However, standard notifications will still show. And it would not be uncommon to see them ignore everyone.\n\n\n\n\tThese are independent players in a division. They have their own agenda and just because they division, that doesn't guarantee any help or efficient gameplay.\n\n\n\n\tIt could be that division just could care less about the match. They don't want to compete, but they go in Randoms much to the annoyance of everyone.\n\n\n\n\tI have had players in Randoms vent about this in co-op. It seems more common now.\n\n\n\n\tI stopped playing Randoms myself mainly because I don't division, the game can be frustratingly slow, like watching paint dry, and the general consensus that purple players get an interestingly favorable matchup. \n\n\n\n\tTier 4 games are more exciting.\n\n\n\n\tI don't know how MM works, but if it was based on how much you spend, then I would be a purple player.\n\n\n\n\t(Purple, this is supposedly the designated color of super unicums based on stats. I still don't understand how that would work as average player in this category only plays less than 500 games at low tier and somehow magically end up with a plethora of tier 10s in the span of two years. Which is about the equivalent of 4 years worth of ships. )\n\n\n\n\tHaving said that, in order to maintain the stat color purple, such a player only plays divisions. They are always practicing in training room. And often are far older than 8. Or they couldn't afford to pay up the FXP.\n\n\n\n\tWhy I understand your frustrations about such clans, this issue will likely not go away.\n\n\n\n\tSince MM is not based on how much one spends, it has to be based on something else.\n\n\n\n\tIf I had a guess, I am not purple, so it has to be how purple you are.\n\n\n\n\tBut that is just a guess. I have no clue or proof. Only anecdote stories of players that see post battle results. Purple over orange almost every time. It is possible to have purple vs purple, but that's is if no orange is on.\n\n\n\n\tI think it's kinda silly to be honest.\n\n\n\n\tIs MM favorable to a few?\n\n\n\n\tIt might be subjective because there are few players tracking almost every match and turning in any proof.\n\n\n\n\tWe would have either known this by now or it has been suppressed. But why?\n\n\n\n\tThere's no pro league. Pro implies Nike, Adidas, and other endorsements. A grand championship and maybe a paid professional league. Clans would have tryouts, minor leagues, players unions, player contracts, etc.\n\n\n\n\tAnd WG would be like the league organization and would sell ad revenue for broadcasts.\n\n\n\n\tNope. No such thing exists. Just maybe a bunch of clans that take the game way too serious that they will throw players out, or poach players for a KOS tournament, or even just blow a gasket if their PR dips 2 points.\n\n\n\n\tSorry dude. It's terrible that players don't play competitive in randoms as it is a competitive mode. It's unfortunate, but it's not going away.\n\n\n\n\tJust try not to let it make you feel angry. You can only control what you can control.\n\n\n\n\tYou are a competitor and that is what you do. You can't get players to be on the same page no matter how much you ask in a competitive match. It's out of your control.\n\n\n\n\tGood luck and try co-op if you feel down.\n\n\n\n\tI see a lot of randoms regulars go there when they need a break.\n\n\n\n\tGive it a try.\n\n\n\n\t \n\n\n\n\t \n\n\n\n\t \n\n"
