@dSKyNafinchin they have promised only "small" changes to ranked for the start of S14.
I got to plat IV (and stopped) and there were still previous masters and previous diamonds everywhere, (badges and dive trails) still working themselves back up. The few games of plat IV lobbies I played had current diamonds in them.
With the 1 tier demotion introduced at the start of season 13, I think it will be at least the second split this season before we get a semblance of order, and even then????
Imo there must be a problem at the top end of ranked, getting players of similar ability into a match and even getting a match, due to the draconian changes. Which is why we still see them lower down.
There needs to be a bit more than "small" changes brought in for S14, unless the intent is to make masters as elitest as possible.
S12 would be perfect for ranked up to Diamond IV, above that I'm happy to see them churn around in their own "top 1%" demands 😃
@OldTreeCreeper
S12 was great to be in Diamond 4, you mostly played against other Diamonds 4, maybe some mid-night matches when there is less players could have been with some Masters, but very rarelly. No solo Diamond 4 players can be in Diamond for long now, Its just not possible to win against those pre-mades and with this deranking you just going down... You would have to be leading you team, talking to them and stuff and I dont really feel like doing that especially with English not being my native language.
I was always solo queue in Diamond since S11 and I can tell you that S13 Diamond trully isnt Diamond. :D
Im just too skilled for Ranked I guess if Im game puts me solo in lobbies against best player in the world (or region idk) and his pre-made team. :D
Im just endgame and dont really want to be bouncing between Platinum (which is too easy for me if I have decent team which can atleast possition themselves right) and Diamond 4 which is unplayable.
Was a GG, Im grateful for having that opportunity to play Apex legends to the end. :D Cant really wait for Control LTM to go back live.
@Awhoo_Thunder Yea the premade are still working their way up.
Im not what you would call skilled at the game, but I have my moments. The numbers just aren't there yet to take them away to the higher echelons. I got to diamond twice in S12.
Patience young grasshopper 😃
Your time, it will come 🥳
