Why does diamond rank even exist?
I reached Diamond IV again this season and literally every match me and my squad is matched against predators. I've fought the #1 and #2 Predators many times now and this is in a diamond lobby. There...

If I ever get to Diamond I may just stop playing ranked. There really isnt a point playing in Diamond unless you're on the level of a Predator. You only go against the top players in Diamond that have been playing together for months that don't miss shots.
Hell even in Plat 4 I get put against AP if I stay on late enough. I get that there isnt enough players but maybe give AP their own lobbies
Yea so I've been in Diamond ranked on Ps4 for about a week so far. I made my way over halfway through Diamond IV and the first 3 days in Diamond my team and I were killing it. Maybe once every 5 games we would lose points and even then it was around 30 at a time. Honestly we would see maybe 5 squads total with Predators in them, and that was ok. Manageable but not ideal.
I was 200 points away from reaching Diamond III, and then all of a sudden we were going up against some the top 100 Apex Predators every game.
EVERY SINGLE DIAMOND GAME I QUEUE UP FOR HAS A FULL PREDATOR SQUAD AS THE CURRENT CHAMPIONS. Yesterday we saw BackOffMyJanks with SoarKobi and another content creator.
Today we got killed by CujoThaGod (who has over 50,000 kills btw) and Soarkobi, and the game before that the champions were the #4, #5, and #7 Apex Predators in NA.
I have over 10,000 kills combined with all legends, but why the heck do I have to fight my way through Diamond against the best 50 players in the world on Ps4.
Why do Diamond players have to play against the top 100 Apex predators every game. It's assinine and ridiculous. I'm just trying to rank my way up through Diamond but 75% of the lobbies are Predators. That doesnt make any sense to me. Diamond shouldn't even be a rank if im never going to be playing against players of my own skill. Yes I would like to get to the skill of Predator, but its impossible when someone like CujoThaGod will kill my teammates in 4 consecutive wingman shots.
I understand I still could work on my aim, but its still impossible to play Diamond ranked when there are Predators full sending everything. I have something to lose as a Diamond. I still need to play aggressive, but conservatively so I can still get kills as a squad, but make it to the top 3. It's nearly impossible with the top Predators snowballing their way through Diamond lobbies. They have nothing to lose, so they will full send any fight and come out on top because they play the game for 15 hours a day. Im only able to play for 2-3 hours at most a day. You can't expect me to get better by getting smacked by professionals every game in Diamond queues.
For the love of god make Predator only lobbies. I dont care if it takes Twitch streamers 10 minutes to queue into a ranked game. Just get them out of Diamond lobbies and make it fair for people who dont have 15 hours a day to play Apex.
I 100% agree with you!!!
- @dlpaulson12 This is by far the best example I have seen. The Devs seriously need to listen. I'm a good player, haven't played ranked so much, only in gold. But even gold lobbies I see apex preds and below in every single game. How is that fair at all? I get what people are saying that diamonds should have to play preds but at the same time those dudes play so much it's unrealistic for someone who works a 9-5 job to be able to play as much as these streamers, but again this company only cares about it's streamers so nothing will probably happen. When someone who has 10k kills all around and they are complaining about the lobbies, I think that's pretty crazy. I've got merked by predators and it sucks man
