Solo Queue Ranked Feedback
This is my first time posting feedback here, but as a long-time player who loves this game, I feel the current direction for high-tier Ranked is a mistake. To give some context, I’ve solo-queued th...

It's not about the test results, but rather that, for the umpteenth time in a row, when a significant change is made that is questioned by the pros, Respawn suddenly backs down. I don't just read this forum, but I see what people write on Reddit and the topics they create there. This forum has virtually no community compared to Reddit.
Remember what happened with the tap strafe change? :))) I don't think I need to remind you of this.
Anyway. I expected it anyway; it's nothing new to me.
I'm simply hoping that solo players will be relieved by the improvements to matchmaking, which are supposed to be easier for them.
We all know that this test will show that this change won't be permanent. It's just that when you say "A," you sometimes have to be able to say "B." Being true to your word is definitely not a Respawn trait.
Another major issue with solo queue players is that they want to kill farm their way up the ladder. That's easy to do until Plat 4. This is the main reason players don't rank up further. This is the main reason players prefer the dropship. Getting elims is harder the more you rank up. Some solo queue players are okay with sitting in Gold hot dropping and kill farming, and that's okay. It's a choice.
After reaching Plat4 we have to change our strategy. Above average players may have an easier time than most playing for elims in Plat, but once they reach Diamond it's much harder, as it should be. I haven't watched anybody on streams who consistently hot drop and kill farm in Diamond tier. The issue isn't Ranked, it's the players, especially solo queue players, to adjust and adapt to a more competitive environment.
If solo queue players think they can handle this task alone, then that's the first problem. Because we're not supposed to think that way in a team-based game.
