Apex Preds in Bronze Lobbies

Hello, Why are there so many preset or and master ranked players in bronze lobbies? I was in gold III last split, and now I am Bronze I. I booted up to play for the first time this split as bronze I...

    @ThickGrape No one has a dive trail from season 7. Season 7 hasnt finished. And E9 is right in this. What happens is the old preds stopped playing ranked but kept their dive trail. They then occasionally play ranked for easier games or when they want to pop off, never really ranking up so they can do it each season.

@ThickGrape Conor does not mess around i assure you doing this glitch would have you in trouble real fast.

Now master trails can also be obtained in these lobbies. There are splits and it follows the highest rank earned. So with that comes they was de-ranked. Could of even been de-ranked for end of season split and the start of this seasons split.

I do t fully understand how u go from being ranked master or pred in season seven with a dive trail. Then, at the split, be in a bronze lobby. You wouldn’t derank that much in one split without the glitch. And it was happening a lot today.

    @ThickGrape De rank hits you hard. You do not just go down 1 ranked level.

    Example Start of this season split I was plat 4. I stop doing ranked due to disliking the map. On split the other day I was bumped down to silver.

    So yes skipping ranked on 2 splits will indeed put you in low ranks. They could of obtained their master or pred rank on the first split last season and stop doing ranked. This bumped them down to plat/gold. Then skipping the start of the season split until the other day will downgrade them even more. Therefore placing them in bronze/silver/gold lobbies.

      But the dive trail is from season 7. It’s a season long dive trail which suggests that they were either master/pred in season 7. Making it impossible to derank to bronze/silver/ or even gold for that matter.

      I was gold three and derank To bronze I.

        @ThickGrape You do not know what that trail is. All the pred trails are 100% the same from season2 +. Only series 1 preds have a different trail. All others match. I am telling you how they was de-ranked. You can either believe it or still question it but this is why. =P
