1. I used to play on the launch in 2019 but from a different account (it was hacked and got banned in Apex). So now I'm playing from a fresh account that I've created in march 2023 for the Apex specifically.
2. Playing from Ukraine so Europe.
3. Can't say that I was that successful in those games. Current K/D is 78/104. Attached a screenshot with the stats.
4. No rookie, it was Plat 2 right away before I even played a single match. And from that it just adjusts normally.
@hayhorthe "perks" of having a rigged Ranksystem. Would not happen in traditional and (most important!) transparent Systems that are known to work pretty much flawless.
It might be also not the typical Smurph one experiences , but the game not presenting the rank as it should ... if this is a bug or on intention i dont know ... respawn is not really famous for telling the whole truth and certain exploitable "bugs" keep on reappearing every 2-3 seasons, thats rather on intention imho.
@hayhoras is said , i dont believe in too much what respawn officially announces, starting with broken promises and ending in phony blogposts about the Matchmaking that already have been debunked by Dataminers.
Also the ever reappearing rank penalty disappearing (this happens quite often , i encountered it at least 6-7 times over several seasons ...) all of a sudden without any updates surrounding and being reinstated in the matter of hours if i post smth about it ... seems quite funny and doesnt really look like a bug but rather on intention.
There also wont be a developer that spills the beans due to hefty NDAs and the risk of not being hired by a major studio anymore.
The entertainment industry has quite a history in rigging shows to please the crowd (Wrestling anyone ?!?!). To give one famous example :

I only know that much : If there is a way to raise profits, it will be done.
Worked in the Browsergames Industry some years ago, rigging the playfield was part of the Job ... if a good paying customer didnt do to well , we had to make him doing well to keep the money flowing ...

It's almost like they need to feed new type 4's to the 1, 2, and 3s...
