@RelentlessShiba Plat is like the bogey division out of all of the ranks. You have a big mix of Predators, Masters who are trying to get back up there. Diamond level players who are good, and then the general average players who won't make it out of plat but are good enough to hold their own in there.
I have always said that another rank would be good to have as it would majorly split up the packs and I think it would make the two tiers (new & plat) easier to progress through.
If you an your squad are as good as you are making out then you shouldn't have any issues making it out of plat, you might just have to change up your tactics and try something new!
