@DarthValtrex Yea I play on xbox. I don't think I've seen anyone do this or ask me to do it. Given I'm Plat but I also sometimes get mixed with 2 silvers or gold players if I get on late at night or early morning.
It seems as though the pool for matchmaking doesn't get filled as much at night or morning vs the afternoon.
As for the issue at hand, it does seem like a problem if that's how they're getting into lower ranks. I guess a solution would simply be to not allow anyone new to join after initiating start in lobby.

@iBlockHead The same and I don't mind the unintentional in which it happens because of a slow server. It's not a huge deal, I just had it happen with a gold player. We liked the guy so we invited him to play more rounds with us. How ever, every round after we invited him we were in Gold. But that is sort of different, we are the ones asking for punishment and it's the higher rank player risking the RP by bringing us into the higher rank with him.
Where I'm getting frustrated is when I want to play ranked with a pre-made squad but have no friends of similar rank on. I try to do the looking for group and can't get a team of silvers together (soon to be gold only 100RP from it). But when I hit gold I'll want to do similar, put together teams of gold ranked players. It's a lot easier to make top 5 and win if we can communicate.

- 6 years ago@DarthValtrex Completely understand. All my friends are currently silver or bronze and they fear playing ranked with me thinking it'll be a slaughter fest but in reality, I just need the communication vs pinging which is slower and harder to use in the middle of battles.
If you ever want to play ranked though (might soon be Diamond) drop your GT and i'll add/invite ya.- DarthValtrex6 years agoHero (Retired)@iBlockHead Oh I agree I can survive in higher ranks. Conflict avoidance and intelligent third partying, you’ll get RP and top 5 placement. You have to adjust play based on your trams skill and adjust to it. I made it top 3 solo in gold, my squad went down and I ran. I camped and third party sniped. Taking out those who I could
