Re: Solo que rank

soloque means only d3-masters, anything below d3 is easier then pubs match and cannot be even discussed with players who havent soloed to masters and shiv feeds most of the games off when doing it. difference is that he is streamer with lot of viewers. when he goes online and hit's up queue, predator teams that wanna play with celebrity will duoq at the same time and almost always land on the same team with him, thus eloboosting him. once shiv gets master, he will stay at bottom point until the end of season when soloing just feeding points away

    @tziiwareAs much as i agree he's hard stuck master and doesn't gain much RP after ranking up, I do know a few who got pred solo.

    Got pred solo basically means being kinda lucky early of the season to hit masters fast, but i dont know any confirmed cases of a player who actually managed to retain predator as solo player for entire season because it needs points. there is really no reason to assume peoples can hit predator solos outside of very early season.

    Im in top 0.5% wraith wins from season 1 when i played in trio with top 50 predator player for few hundred games, and i must say there is nothing a single good solo player was ever able to do to kill us unless there was insane rng involved. we won like 200 games with 15 game winstreak and only a good team was a threat (wich back then involved basically base tank, flanker and freebie back then)

    also i think he soloes with hes account shivfps (the main) and he was like d2 in stream week a go and dropped to d3, then he was three stacking at d3-d2 so not full solo either

    @tziiwareMaster and pred are the same with just more game time.

    Unlike S2 (pre master) where the majority of those climbing diamond were premade (excluding the very best who managed to after long tedious grinds), with the decline of both the player base and competitive players the rank mix now means it's much easier to solo. This can be manipulated with time + server selection, exploits, teaming and a host of other things i won't go into on this forum. Ranked has been a sham since S3 with alt f4 exploit, just look at S4 diamond/pred when it returned to S2 level compared to S5 and why i said earlier that it's not more people getting better but it's more people having the knowledge to fudge the system.

    Sure there may be some kids who want to show up on his stream but i and many friends have grouped up with him multiple times in ranked and he's just an average jo that can pull his weight and streams for a living.
