I won a Battle Royale game and got a loss instead

I vowed to never play again. This **** raises my blood pressure too much and I can't stand losing. I always play worse after the first loss knowing that L is hanging there.

Of course I'll likely be back at it tonight....but I actually need to do some team epics. So that'll be a good break.

Have you experienced the people that will score from 2nd on ground outs? When you try to throw the ball home with your first baseman there's like a 5 second delay before you actually throw the ball for some reason. I lost 2 times because of this last week.

It's so frustrating there so many things that will inevitably ruin your BR runs. BR seems to be like 30% skill and 70% pray you get lucky and don't run into anything/anyone stupid. The 3 inning game makes those glitches/exploits so much more damaging. In a 9 inning game you can overcome it or adjust.

Also ever since they added silver chapman I feel like every BR opponent has him. 80% of my at bats in BR are against some form of Chapman now. I get the strategy, but it makes the game kinda bland.

Yep I just got screwed out of nice 3-0 start to BR this morning, they put up some worthless update & shut the servers down for several hours.....

I was playing well too laying beatdowns on early opponents, I bet if I hop on now I'll play like trash, I'm just like that sometimes

These guys are really starting to piss me off, 2nd straight day this **** happened to me, quit ****ing with your customers SDS

Yes. This happens all the time. And the people who do it know that trash will happen are often the ones who go 12-0. They know all the cheap little tricks.

I swear sometimes it feels like my opponent is on rookie mode and I'm on legend.
