@r1ggedgame Ok, internet hyperbole, but I kind of assert it really is impossible as in, nobody has done it far as I can tell. Even if it is possible, that number has to be so small as to be insignificant.

But when people talk about it, they talk about it like there's a whole bunch of players who got to platinum that way. And it falls along the lines of things like how, 'all those platinum players are bad', you know, with no thought to that they could be the bad players themselves.

Every single person I've played with or know, far as I can tell, got plenty of kills on their way up. It's more a matter of that some people play differently than others, and bad decisions often get made. That's far more plausible than the myth of hiding until you are platinum

@KelRieverdidnt say that its done by a lot of ppl, just wanted to point out that it is likely possible for smb who puts effort into it.
but you are very right with different types of approaching the goal of winning, 10 teams hot dropping on a small place with loot for maybe 2 teams is a bad idea to begin with, but ppl still drop that way ... even if you tell them not to ... which eventually leads to rat-ish behavior.
Drops with a person that is low tier lvl, should not be in the area where all the fancy divetrails go ... but jumpmasters keep ignoring that, they just drop where their favourite spots are.
