What you need to realize is, color level isn't the problem, it's the pre-existing relationships and premades that rule every game now, I feel you on this as this is why I don't join games as much anymore, but it's definitely not color level, it may seem that way but it's not, and I have come across people with the same attitude as you saying higher levels are brutal and devious, but lower levels are just that if not more, because of their prejudice against the higher levels.
How about you try creating a new account then try talking to a high color. They will give no answer. They just win all the HOH and POV while ignoring everyone.
james14 that's not their problem/fault they rarely take that into accountability because it's not much of a factor, you need to build relationships with people you know?
