@PeterN_UK Thats the other thing..... randoms.
Plat is like a quigmire for getting stuck in random sqauds, its the rank that even low skill can grind to but never get beyond so everyone is base 4 and just dropndies...... SO frustrating!

If anyone is ever short a squad member feel free to add me, would be nice to play without the toxicity.

I just hope they do not include suicides/landing off the map as part of match making criteria to get into easy lobbies.

I've frequently been playing with COD players on my team doing 50x C4 suicides just to get into easy lobbies. Not really the way the game is meant to be played. So they now put a 5 sec timer on spawn where you are invulnerable to your own C4 in new COD game. That was their solution to stop players trying to get around SBMM lol.

I would hate to see players mass landing off the map to reverse boost in Apex as its too quick and easy to reload into another lobby.

@PeterN_UK They need to add a de-rank after x amount of losses or point losss in ranked, too many people just sit on base platinum and dropndie constantly, which is fine if thats the rank your happy with but if you are grinding toward diamond it boils your p*** when team mates can cost you 300 bp inb minutes because they just dont care
