I can't rank up. My randoms mess me up. Fix this Respawn

@espadakillar69 

Well you can't exactly "fix" player behaviour.

I mean, humans are humans after all.

It might be a better fit for you to get into a premade squad if you feel like the matchmaker is screwing you over.

There are plenty of places that can help you get into a premade squad, like the LFG systems in the r/Apexlegends discord.

@espadakillar69 

Haha you have complained about your teammates on this forum since Season 3. Sorry to say it but it seems to me that its more likely that you are equally, or perhaps even more as much a part of the problem as your randoms. I remember your previous posts. You are the guy who actually wanted to pay money to be allowed into noob-lobbies HAHA.

Yes, your solo Q peak rank is ofc lower than what you can achieve with a 3-man stack of equally skilled premades but the difference is not that big tbh. For me, I can reach D3 by myself and just barely touch Master 10.000 rp with two friends.  Bottom line; good players will adjust to whatever randoms the game throws at you. Bad and clueless players will blame and come with excuses hahaha.

So the only thing here that needs fixing is your attitude when choosing to play solo Q:

1. You are not the designated shot caller of a team of randoms. You are as much "expected" to play around your randoms as they are to play around you. 
2. Your way of playing the game is not objectively the correct
3. Your randoms can not read your thoughts just like you cant read theirs
4. Your randoms dont have to/cant always follow your pings and calls at all times just like you dont have to/cant always follow theirs. 

Are you those mean entitled * kiddo who feel so superior just because you considered yourself pro for being in a 3 stack? What a nutcase.

When you use terms like your teammates lacked "common sense", especially considering you are referring to arenas at very low elo, which requires very little strategy and macro, then I think you actually prove my point. You were probably not better or worse than your teammates. You just lacked the synergy and understanding how to play the game in a similar way with most of your teammates. 

Thats the issue with most arguments I see on "bad" random teammates. Everyone think that THEIR way of thinking is the objectively correct way. When you push in and your teammates dont follow, its them who lack "common knowledge" to go with you. But when they push in and you cant follow, then its them again who lack "common knowledge" to play more cautiously and slow.  See what I mean? This is not meant as an insult but I am pretty sure that if people could see recordings of all your ranked matches, most people would also agree that Silver3 this just was your solo Q peak rank. 

I play solo Q ranked alot, usually 2-3 accounts from gold2 to diamond3 and I get so much rage and flame from premade duos and its always the same; they think I am a noob who lack "common sense"  only because I cant read their minds and hear what they say on their private discord.

@Balladalidila99% i get the below 100 kill mates ... thats bad random players for smb that has multiple thousand kills. and 99% tells me thats on intention ! It has a reason why i call the system rigged since season 6. I dont believe a single word of Samy Ducs Blogpost, thats just phony lies !
I know a lot of people that loved Apex but quit bcs they hated how the system is rigged against them.

Not sure of the op situation. But my experience in solo ranked, is abysmal at best. Lower ranked teammates every match. In plat with a gold and silver teammates who die as soon as someone looks at them. Just jumped back on tonight after split and in gold got silver and bronze teammates first game in. Literally landed on 5 other squads, no amount of pinging or anything could change their mind that hot dropping on other squads was a bad idea. I got 2 kills and back to the lobby with -14 points. They got no kills and less than 50 damage each. If I stick it out and work to plat then diamond I know it will be dealing with lower skilled teammates. 

It would be nice if you could see their rank before selecting your legend. I would probably play a lot more wraith and path with octane just so I could run away right from the get go and hide to rank. Oh wait they wanted to combat that and improve the game (for premades) solo queue is funked.

@mastiffslinger 

Yes I do partly agree with you here. Its not good from a competitive standpoint that you can end up with teammates several ranks below you. One big reason is how they pamper duo premades. You can be bronze and join a gold player premade right? And then matchmaking will then match you according to the gold players rank. This is only "fair" for the premade duo which chooses to play with each other but what Respawn totally ignores how UNFAIR this is for their 3rd random teammate, who is gold elo and is matched with a statistically weaker team. So this principle is objectively wrong IMO. 

BUT I think you are very biased in your take of the situation and I think you only remember the negative times. First of all, I dont believe that you get lower ranked teammates in "every" match, probably not even in majority of matches. I think that if you would take a screenshot of 100 of your ranked teammates, you would see that its quite evenly distributed. Thats why we need a match history!!!

Also, one factor that you miss here is that in many of those matches, for instance if you are gold3 and you get two silver teammates, is that the lobby you got matched in is average silver. So YOU have an advantage here but its easy to just notice the negatives.  Thats why we need to see the average ELO of the lobby we play at. This is not information that should be hidden!

@r1ggedgame 

In this arguments, I only refer to ranked and in ranked, the number of kills should not be a factor in the matchmaking. In ranked, the matchmaking should ONLY match based on rank. The problem here is that the current rank system is super bad at putting a given player at the rank that corresponds to his actual skills. I honestly believe that if you would randomly take 1000 players from, lets say "silver3" and let each of them fight each other in a million 1v1s, there would be some players that would literally win close to zero of those when, in a "good" ranked system, everyone SHOULD have 500.000 wins give or take.
