Platinum 4 is forever rank...
There is just no way to get out of it without 2 other good and permanent players, this game cannot be solo ranked...

Solo queued both splits to Diamond, and Plat 4 is the worst tier yet.
There's been many discussions about this on reddit, some with better ideas then others as to alleviate what seems like a one way battle for KP/RP against your own teammates.
You need to be selective, learn to play selfishly, salvage your games. Push for early KP, rat for RP.
Be sure to mute your teammates if opting for this mind set, because the toxicity levels will be very high otherwise.
Plat is where players think they're gods, but in reality have very bad game awareness and won't ever climb to Diamond.
If you watch twitch, higher end players typically drop uncontested, loot up, and rotate in. It's all about beacons, good rotations, quick squad wipes, and defending your spot.
As for Diamond lobbies, being solo, D3 is typically where my rank grind stops.
@Gabrielmojo26 Exactly. If you are not good enough to get out of plat 4 on your own, you simply are not good enough. At that point find a team.
Getting from bronze to diamond palying solo only I am very confident to say that plat 4 lobbies are the hardest to play. The second i made it out to pl3-2 lobbies were so easy it felt like I was playing vs gold players. So your argument about not being good enough is ridiculous. why should i have the skill of a diamond to make it out of plat 4, but can easily play plat 2 even if I play like a gold player?
Diamond IV is harder to escape from, and yet nobody complains about that much. Dive trail, I suppose.
I just got to Plat III and my observation is, once again, it is best done solo. And I mean SOLO, like run away from your team mates. Maybe like 3% of my pug team mates have been worth it. Otherwise, the worst thing they can do is live long enough to find me, and then get me killed with them somewhere before placing 5th or higher. So much I would have been Plat II like 20 games ago if I didn't have that nonsense happening.
