Fix ranked
Is the playerbase really so small that the first match in diamond IV I should be matched up against the top 200 predators? I regularly go up against full stacked masters / predators and i'm solo queu...
I actually think it is (so small that is). Sometimes I have to wait 5 minutes to get a Diamond game on EU, and a friend from Brazil who also is Diamond says its virtually impossible to get a ranked sometimes. And I think this creates a domino effect; Diamond 4 players get smashed in every game by Predators which makes them feel hopelessness to progress in ranked which leads them to abandon ranked or start smurfing in Bronze (like Shroud that silly man) which leads to even less Diamond players.
The entire Apex ranked system is a mess imao.
@BabbediboopiIts dumb because Plat is EZ for me to grind through as a solo but the second I play Diamond its almost impossible to rank up as a solo. You literally get awful teammates who split, don't comm, die, and then you are stuck ratting for a placement by yourself unable to take any fights and then you get some dumb small amount of RP like +20 and that gets destroyed with one early death. Its stupid. Also, love the name lol.
