About Camping
Why do you consider camping a no-no? I understand that it involves slow paced playing, but it is a matter of taste, not everyone is addicted to STIM or wants wild west cowboy duels in an open field. ...

You have to camp to climb ranks if you don't have a premade. The moment my team engages in a fight and it goes south I'm ditching them instantly and trying to survive until top 10/5/3 That is what this game rewards.
There are people much much worse than this playing the game, they will camp from the very beginning of the game and go off solo to hide around the ring, there are people who run off the moment they hear gunshots.. great teammate right? This game is a disaster when it comes to playing as a team.
Hiding just to rank up feels very unrewarding to me. Yes , you get cosmetics and badges, but you miss all the fun of the battle, you don't develop your fighting skills. Once you get to the highest ranks, you will get longer waiting times for matchmaking, only to become an arc star target practice dummy for the apex predators.I pity those that waste so much time and entertainment value just for titles and badges to brag with, but I don't feel affected by them. It's nice to have some easy targets every now and then 🙂.
On the other hand, I did some hiding as well, especially to get in the last 3-5, but not because of ranking (I play unranked mostly). There are good chances of teams losing one or 2 members for good because of less respawn beacons available and increased ring damage. I prefer to third party the last 2 teams while they're fighting. The element of surprise gives the best chance to win if solo or with only one other teammate.
Yes, it can be annoying to have teammates that want to go the opposite of your way, but you have to adapt, it's a survival game. It's normal to have good team chemistry only once in a dozen of solo queues.

I'm all for the slowing down and taking stock of a situation. Camping is a strat and I use it myself when needed.
What I don't get, is just hiding for a top finish for ranked. All these players are doing is getting matched with better and better players until they will not have the gun skill to actually play/compete at the higher ranks.
I play strategically when I can, but what I don't want to do, is punch above my weight and then never win a gunfight again lol. I play how I see fit, and let the MMing take care of my "skill" and rank. If I stay in Gold forever so be it. As long as I'm having fun.
I think to many players are hung up on rank, and want to level up at the detriment of gameplay/fun.
In the beginning of session-2, people worried about camping(hiding) to level up to predator without killing single person.
Is there anybody ever pull this strategy off ?
I would like to see if it's really a valid strategy in platinum and diamond level
Note:
valid strategy in low level, off course.
