How Hard is Ranking to Platinum right now?

How hard is Gold rank currently?  How long will it take to go from Silver 1 to Platinum 4?  PC, playing solo/aka with random players.

    Gold was easy and fun!

    I won most my Gold matches back to back!

    Platinum is hard and I suggest you stop playing after reaching platinum.
    I will play ranked again in November.

    Ranked as of now is crap.
    The loot is bad and the Flux-rifle is overpowered.

    Everything wrong with season 3 is amplified in ranked platinum.

    I think I reached platinum 2 days ago, and havent played since.

@hhnbbfggty66"Ranked as of now is crap." it will always be crap as long as they don't want to balance it and it's not balanced if some players have an advantage over other players (full teams vs solos)

    @NaRnIaaa True. Even season two I couldn't get past plat 2 solo. Teams are too difficult for pugs that never played together before.

      Got to diamond last season with a fair bit of work, so starting again on gold now. My impression is that gold is harder than it was last season, not sure why.

        @OldTreeCreeper I think a part of the problem is match making.  Add a new map and players are making mistakes to often.

        @NaRnIaaa It’s rough when you get lower rank players. I have had some so new it was painfully obvious. In one case we dropped tree and they looted sooo slowly the circle closed on them and they still kept looting. They died out first fight with hardly any damage done. Honestly a wast of my time and points but I can’t blame them. They tried but are simply beginners. Match making sucks for sure.
