Derank me!
I just got to platinum, playing ranked for the first time. Platinum devision is trash! Bunch of boosted noobs who doesn't even trying. I have no idea how to rank up with randoms now. All this noobs i...
When I played by myself in Season 4, I got through Platinum by not following my teammates into utterly stupid fights I knew before-hand we weren't going to win. This resulted in me wandering the map alone almost every game until I got to Diamond. If your randoms are bringing you down, then you have to rid yourself of the dead weight.
@SugaryJuiceAgreed! I don't follow those bots into mosh pits resulting in 4-5 teams converging on one location. I mean, most players seem to just drift further and further towards the center of the Ring- so that they can fight . But there's plenty of times where it's better NOT to shoot at an enemy the moment you see one. Sometimes, it's best Not to engage at all- but I know that I've had plenty of players that would rather fight/have fun, and kill themselves, ultimately. Me personally; I'd rather win.
PLUS, I get way more kills the longer I live, rather than jumping into battles without proper planning.
(Although, I usually ping intent or discontent with a decision before the "mud starts to slide downhill". Sometimes I'll humor my teammates and sacrifice myself with 'em...)
