Seriously EA site! My reply didn’t get posted because my account got that error ☹️
@Unclebadtouch76 So like I said before. You are under the impression that gamers care for other gamers (in game). They don’t. Gamers are a selfish bunch in general XD. Especially if ranked is involved where they can climb the ladder without putting any effort if they can help it. You might’ve seen it with Elite, and it ‘will’ (it already happends but I believe it’s not so bad atm) get way worse.
For example, any low level noob can get out of bronze and can even make it out silver. That’s where most of the noobish piggybackers will stay.
Gold will be the standard for most ppl. Now gold’s saturated with ‘fasties’ (people who can grind for a long time, actual good players or ppl who are a combo of that in some way) because most are now in silver I reckon and from what I’ve seen and heard, gold’s now filled with 2/3/4K dmg/20 kill/triple triple badge players. This will fade over in like 1/2 weeks cause by that time those ppl will be in platinum or diamond and the general gamer public will be in gold.
The fasties now in gold are playing more conservative in gold in comparison of what they did in Silver. There they could just bulldoze through the ranks cause they fought more ppl below their skill level than what they see in gold. In gold they fight against similarly skilled players. So for the time being they’ll stay in gold till more ppl get into gold so they can advance further.
When they have passed on, the mediocre/noobish players might wanna advance but seeing that gold’s gonna be more difficult than silver is now, it’s gonna be harder for them and so they will likely camp to get points in stead of actually killing.
When I was in silver (mostly did solo queue’s) a lot of times my teammate(s) were playing passive while I engaged enemies (alone). Had it happen too often that I fought multiple enemies only for a teammate to take my kill and end up having like 1K dmg with 5 kills while you see 1 with 2/3 kills and having like 100-200 dmg >.>
