Ranked Mode Tips and Advice
Anybody on here got some solid tips for climbing past Platinum IV in ranked mode? And camping isn't really an option in my book, so none of that XD Thought it would be nice for people who are also st...

Communication and planning is key.
I also managed to get to Gold I through solo queuing and just following one other teammate to use as a meat shield. Currently in Plat and only play with a full pre-made squad as I want all 3 of us to be alive when we enter top 5.
But again, talk and make a plan for your next move. Play based on everyone's strength that's on your team, I enjoy ambushing enemies or fighting in tight spots. So when I party up with 2 others, I lead and make the decisions on where to go and what to do. I accommodate those who love rushing into battle by setting up a spot to return to in the event that a battle is taking too long or we are being crushed. Back up plans are great as not all fights lead to success.
Also really utilize every legends abilities. Pathfinders great if you have the high ground as you can shoot ziplines in all directions attaching them to places the enemies can't reach, or by throwing smokes as Bangy on enemies so that another team near by can see the smoke and rush it, making room for you to 3p. Also don't forget to use Ults as much as you can, they recharge at a nice rate if you pace yourself, and plenty of accelerants are always laying around.
This is how I'm making my way up to Apex Pred.
Worse case though, wait for respawn ships and rack up those easy kills
@TomatoGun97 I respect the play style, probably similar to mine - I'm an entire division below you but I can only recommend the basics. Even though you probably roam the map a lot, when you get into a firefight practice hugging cover as much as you can and then keep in mind your opponent can have cheats. So always face them if you can, even behind cover, bait them out, and catch those first shots - peaking behind your cover. Or if you're playing someone like Octane you can literally slide-jump into them and their bot won't 'register', it will miss pretty often and you can outplay that way. Keep trying to land different places, change up your route, and take initiative for your squad if something needs to be said/done.
Thank you guys so much for the support and tips, but also bringing those basics back to my mind. You'll be happy to know I've now won one of my last five, and all the others I finished top 5 and above. Really getting me into a positive mindset ahead. If you guys ever wanna squad up, my username's right there. Chuck me an add and we'll lay down on some ranked. Keen to get to predator
@Anlbrd Same for you, man 😃
