Re: The thing I hate about console rank

Well, I'd say Diamond will feel much tougher, but that's only true if that's there are enough players queing to make a diamond-predator game. And, yes, get used to camping - it's the essence of highly competitive matches. Hold positions for long, then short burst of high action and then again hold position for long (you can blame wattson for that, I guess). Camping IS winning (assuming it's done right).

If golds and diamonds get mixed to the same games, then you really don't have enough players on your server (maybe that's console problem in general, but you could still try a different server)... In my games (PC EU), diamond games are strictly diamond+predator. The only platinums i've ever seen were teamed up with diamond (or predator). I've also seen just a handful of diamonds in platinum games.
