Solo Player is Hell difficulty in Rank

When I must win a game or get top5 to upgrade, I mark my next location. My teammate go outside ring and fight then down in 3 seconds. Then I even had to endure his verbal violence. Solo Player is guiltless, Why I have to play with these guy to get top5?

    In many situations that you describe here, the solo guy who you complain about could easily write a similar post, something like:

    " I spam "enemy here" on an enemy team that is just outside the ring and just about to collapse on us from behind, which we must contest so that we dont get squashed between two teams when the circle closes. I crack two of them and go for an easy close range squad wipe but to my surprise, my teammate runs the other direction and uses my death to get away and then hides like a rat. Why I have to play with these guy to get top5?" 

    Who is wrong? Impossible to say, especially without at least viewing a clip of the situation. And even then, many situation has no wrong and no right actions. Its all about misunderstandings between random players. Thats why you either have to find premades so you can work on your teamplay OR just take solo Q for what it is.

    I will go to help him if I hear a crack voice, unfortunately no one crack this time.

    It is too hard for a full-time job employee to get premades.

    You miss the point. There is always two sides of the coin and most people who complain about bad teammates are actually the same "overall" skill level but just plays the game differently and lack the synergi and communication  in game. If you truly are so much objectively better than your teammates, you will also generally gain RPS regardless of your worse teammates as long as you do you thing. 

    But yeah, playing with randoms is 10000000 times worse this season for some reason. I always been Diamond2-3 every split and Master S12 (I dont count last split since that was a joke) but now I struggle to get out of bronze and I would estimate my bronze lobbies to be the same average skill level as last seasons platinum..... Based on the little info respawn gave us about this "hidden elo" based ranked matchmaking, and based on the fact that it takes forever to get a bronze match even though the queueing players goes from 1 to 90 over and over, it seems to me that "good" players get matched against "good" players and "bad" players get matched against "bad players" even if they all are the same rank. If this is true, then Respawn should go out be ashamed. The lack of competitive integrity of such system is unheard of, all in the name of "player retention" 

  • Switch the controller for the aim assistance and pray you get decent teammates. That’s all you can really do to climb in points.

    In the past, you could climb out of what people call “Elo Hell”.  Meaning you get two plat or diamond players on your team. But eventually you get paired up with high diamond master ranks. 

    EA and Respawn made all of the ranks queue into the same match. And now you will ALWAYS be in Elo Hell. You will always get silver to hardstuck dia 4 players on your team. 

    This is easily the worst ranked season the game has ever seen. And the developers are ghosting the community and this broken system they’ve created per usual. Welcome to the Apex community.

    Lol

    Got a premade duo of one current platinum and one gold in his platinum promo as teammates... ANd I am bronze promos to silver.. Thats how this Hidden ELO matchmakings works. I have 900+ average dmg per match in ranked but struggles to get out of bronze because my hidden ELO is high so I get matched against good players all the time. Granted, I COULD get out of bronze if I avoid all fights and just sit in a corner somewhere and do nothing. Guess thats where this game has gone.

    The system makes it extra difficult for players like you. Good luck in your matches
