Apex predators in gold? WHAT?

You know, It's funny enough seeing diamonds in gold, but APEX PREDATORS?! I believe ranked says "fight against similar skilled opponents" on the queue button. Why on earth is there an apex predator in my !@#$ing gold match? This happened twice, I thought it was just a bug, but I started looking at the dive trails now and it's happened twice so far within the past hour.

  • Are you teaming with friends ? If yes, what are their levels ?

    If they're currently diamond/platinum, you will be on the highest rank lobby. Life is tough on that level.

  • How do you recognize an apex predator? Because of their predator rank I’m assuming. They can chose not to display that badge. Right?

    Lol, it's funny cuz like if you were an apex predator last season, I'm 99.99% sure you didn't drop down to gold skill level in such a short span. Regardless, there shouldn't !@#$ing be apex predator level players in gold. Speaking of, it just happened again.

    @SplitMyCheeks25 if you are seeing dive trails it means they are predators from prev seasons they might not have played ranked and started grinding again?

    @SplitMyCheeks25 This is 4th season. Maybe they didn't play the last split ranked, so they dropped even further(3 tiers total). Platinum is full of diamonds and masters. If they killed you, did you spectate and see their banners? Their current rank is displayed on the bottom(or if they were champions). I see no evidence of your accusations, so I can't really say it's valid.

    I know damn well I'm not the only one experiencing this, but I will provide proof when I see it again. You can literally look at peoples dive trails and tell what rank they are when they hit diamond. This is such a common occurrence for me, so I know it's common for other people. Rank decay is a great thing when implemented properly, but a dude with navy seal like aim has absolutely no need to be decayed down to gold. It's a world of a difference.
