SBMM + solo queuing = misery
I'm not going to indulge in the typical hyperbole, just going to try to stick to facts. I'm low diamond-tier; ~4k matches played, ~8k kills across all classes. In Season 3, prior to SBMM fcuking ev...

I think there's no such thing, they just randomly give the biggest idiots to play with you 99% of the time... Go get friends or get *... Respawn's respawn to community problems... Get *...
Haha played from Plat1 to D4 totally solo, mainly because I was impatient to get to Diamond where the real grind begins =).. But what a nightmare. In like half the games, you get matched with a Plat 4 + Gold 4 premade duo; i.e some fool who just reached Plat4 (probably by hiding through Gold which is a totally viable strategy since Golds RP entry cost is so low), who now think he is the new ImperialHall because he just reached Platinum for the first time and then goes on to tell his hardstuck Gold4 noob friend: "I will carry you to Plat, dont worry".
Just the fact that you, as a Plat1, can be teamed with a Plat4 is totally unacceptable, not from a skill gap wise point of view, but from the fact that you cant be demoted from the forth tier of each division. Respawn must get it into their thick heads that the incentives to play seriously and not troll and mess around is TOTALLY different between someone who is a win away from being promoted from Plat1 to D4, and someone who is hardstuck in Plat4 and therefore has nothing to lose.
And in the other matches, I got teamed with a decently skilled premade duo who usually cared nothing for you, neither communication wise (no pings etc) or game wise. So often you and one other of the premade duo got knocked and the remaining standing player in the team literally runs past you to reach his premade friend to revive him first. And this when I main Lifeline and most likely carried them dmg wise so far in the match.
The only thing you can do is to mainly care about yourself. If your premade duo teammates recklessly engages another team without even pinging that they are planning to, and get themselves knocked within 5 seconds, then just run the other way, grab a charge rifle and farm kill points on cheezy third party sneak attacks =)
