I get that complaint, but then I prove it's invalid. I just log on and take what comes at me in ranked man, but I won't lie, it easier to look flashier and more entertaining that way, while live commenting. You got me there?

"since you think that actually means something."
I am not saying that rank = skill, that was just a shortcut, because I am a lazy person and don't feel like writing whole article on someone's profile.
Read this as "people. who can't match you".
There are few solutions, but you seem so fixated on your current formula, that you probably don't even see them.

You could skip low rank people in ranked (because it's shown before accepting match). Yes, there are skilled E ranks with 999 hours of playtime, but they are E ranked for a reason - they don't care about ranked (if they did, they'd be A in 2 hours). Which means there's a huge chance that those E-C ranks are genuine new players, who don't know much about game.

Even if this doesn't convince you - you can always organize room with some of your skilled friends to deliver more even matches and more high-level play.

I've done that as well, both in videos, and on streams.
Great minds, I suppose.
Thanks for the constructive criticism man, trust me, it stays in my head. I'd like to think I've done a pretty decent job of blending it all, thus far though.

He's complained about the difficulty of finding good, high-ranked matches in Ranked in several videos. It's not like it can't be done, but for an unedited live commentary it's kind of detrimental. The Shoot to Thrill video is just a montage. The whole point of a montage is styling on people, not high-level gameplay. And he's done prearranged, high-level matches with friends before.

Depends of your idea of "entertainment".
I watch your videos and like you, but sometimes I just feel bad for these people. I imagine myself in their place, playing against someone with vastly bigger experience, doing my best just to get laughed at "in front of" massive amount of viewers, because I can't keep up.

No one's trying to make fun of new players. And if they don't want to fight an A rank, well, there is a matchmaking option for that...
dcf
Having a different point of view and discussing it like a civilised person makes me a hater?
brad_soup
I just think the points you're trying to make are a bit unreasonable, and maybe based on incomplete information.

"No one's trying to make fun of new players. "
Okay, nevermind then.
"if they don't want to fight an A rank"
Isn't Fahros like C rank on PSN?

Well technically you could pixel the names of the players or something.
Fahros
Thanks Brad, I was about to type out some of the things you said, but you beat me to it.
ChaosK, in my entire time on Youtube I've never gotten a single request to do so. I've also never been told that someone was angry they were in a vid, or wanted a vid taken down. If that becomes an actual problem, I'll definitely take care of it.

TwiztidRaven would say this is the 'ego' about to talk but...I think that's because people like to be shown in vids. The people that know me know that I'm not out to make fun of people, or to make people feel bad...I'm just enjoying the game, and a lot of the time people are happy to enjoy it with me, win or lose, youtube or not.
brad_soup
Well, this is XBL footage...but fair point. All I'm saying is, it's not really fair to call someone out for supposedly picking on noobs constantly, considering he's got plenty of high-level gameplay.
dcf
Ok, thanks for explaining everything to me.
Sorry if I came out as too offensive or something.
Sometimes it may be caused by my lack of vocabulary, since I am not a native speaker.

Oh wow, you come off as having a pretty good vocabulary, lol. I don't think me or Brad could of guessed you were foreign.
Yeah, 'picking on' has a bit of a negative connotation to it. Like I'm going out of my way to embarrass or belittle somebody.
Which definitely isn't the case, that's why you got such the response haha. No harm done man!
