Finally I've reached Diamond solo queuing

Well, we'd need stats @DarthValtrex , because for example, in Overwatch...your average player for sure is Gold according to their stats for where their players are ranked.  And everybody calls the ranks below them trash and the ranks above them good in that low brow community.  I just don't really have time to bother to try to rank to Diamond, when your placement at even 5th can't carry your debt.  I think that's a fairly terrible system, given you are, again, supposed to be playing people equal to your skill.

Having said that, yes, generally Plat is where you start to play the game.  But I'm a little appalled in how there are plenty of even Diamond players I get who don't even bother to mic up.  And, by the way, how many Diamond Horizon solos there are.  One really god awful thing about Apex is that of the universe of characters used, so few are chosen.  And like most game companies, they can't get over how off their own designs are so they tweak in only small increments.

It's the excuse of the ego of game design...that certain things need just a little tweak and then they'll be fine.  Because it saves you the excuse of that you might have done a really bad job (like Rampart's design, for example).

Anyway, it doesn't matter.  I try, and you know, in pub land, I won't bother with Diamond.  And while I do play with friends and will do my best with them, I don't play with others long enough (which would be like ALL the time) to justify caring so much.  The game is fun enough, and go ahead, tier protect me because that actually encourages me to keep going.
