ranked sucks when you have to rely on teammates

Yeah it's bad, I actually get more RP per game if I just wait until there are a few squads left. Could really care less about winning when my team wants to jump right into combat with 4 other teams.

Whenever I try landing with teammates I usually end up losing RP for dying right away, which makes no sense, since I'm technically "trying". 

Yeah I've had a win with 5+ kills (I think it was 9) and while that felt good, I found that I'm just not one of those people that can do it every game.

At the same time I want to continue ranking up and it's just faster to camp the game out and get a consistent top 3 for placement opposed to actually trying and getting 3rd/4th partied.

Seriously if they would just remove the RP entry cost I wouldn't mind dropping with my team every game in ranked.

Plus even if I get a couple kills and die early, I just break even and get nothing for a game.

Bronze was the only fun tier because you didn't get punished and lose progress for a "loss".

They just need to remove RP entry and ranked will be alot more enjoyable. It's a great system, excluding entry fees.

Somewhat reminds me of WoW arenas when you get stuck going back and forth on rating and feel like you are just wasting time and getting nowhere in the game.

Seriously tho, the entry fees are horrible.

This is the main problem with ranked right now. I don't have a solution, but as long as this is the case, ranks mean nothing really.

I had 9 kills in a ranked game and I think got top 10 (got wiped) and still a top 3 camping finish gets me about the same RP

I'm not proud of camping, it's actually extremely boring, would rather be fighting, but it seems this is how they want me to play the game in ranked mode

You're part of the problem if you just camp out the game to reach top 3 just to get to. You dont rank up by skill you rank up by camping in a corner until you hit the top 3 mark. Pathetic. 

b@Subtle_Tactics what i do is i always try my best not to rely on teammates, while at the same time i’m also trying to be the best teammate i can (as long as it doesn’t mean rushing a 1v3 to pick up my teammates banners)

helped me to Diamond last season, hopefully i can do it again (;

No offense but I think its a little presumptions of you to say you are stuck in gold because of your teammates. This implies that you think your real skill is higher than gold but its all your teammates fault. Like you just said yourself; pretty much everyone in gold runs around like mindless chickens, going for every fight without any strategic thought, but that includes your enemies as well! So if you really were better than gold, then you would be the factor that made the difference and tipped the scale in your favor and you would eventually have gotten out of gold.
