Preds aren’t what they seem to be…

@Gabrielmojo26 Some people will do anything for that badge and high rank. What's really sad is some really well known pro pred players used to do similar late at night. They'd connect to SA from NA just because it was easier. I think at one point they tried region locking ranked but it didn't work or servers suffered from low player count.

@hayhor I didn’t even know this was a thing, Sao Paulo server, first game on, winning squad is a pred pre-satck, this is messed up lol, i know some servers are easier, but didn’t know preds target them.

@Gabrielmojo26 I found the old story. Almost exactly 1 year ago.

@Gabrielmojo26 I noticed this when I pushed up into Diamond a few seasons ago. I did it solo and once I broke into Diamond the big difference was they played on a team.

I'd occasionally get good teammates who understood the game. The legends they picked didn't matter, what made the difference in every match was their ability to work together.

I played as Wattson and if my teammates understood she was more of a defensive legend who can win fights via defensive plays. We'd make top 3 or better. Similarly I had to play into their legends strengths.

If we couldn't get it together in terms of strategy and work together we were toast.

@DarthValtrex Fair enough, but these guys are targeting specific servers with minimal players, 5 min queue times, only to farm these Plat lobbies, there’s literally not enough players on that server for a Plat only lobby.
