Re: Silver 2 -vs- Platinum 1 Ranked, Working as intended?

@Pure_Funk_NuggetIt's a bug the DEVS ARE TOO LAZY TO FIX. The first match places you in the rank you were in last split, so after that it will be normal. This bug has been around for ALMOST 2 YEARS

BUT BUT BUT

Now let's look at it from a solo player perspective. Since your teammates are random, most people affected by this bug will end up on your team. Say you are Platinum(demoted from Master/Pred or Diamond II plus), you will keep getting silver/bronze playing their first game on your team for the first week at least. Same goes for enemies, predator lobbies full of bronze/silver/gold to farm.

Shows Diamond above(last split) and reset rank Gold II below.

@BaldWraithSimp One time I was solo and got two diamond teammates in a plat lobby. That was a fun roll of the lobby.

@hayhor Oh yeah, I remember S2 Ranked, got carried by two diamonds steamrolling everyone. Thank god, Diamonds are no longer in Plat lobbies.

I thought that Respawn said they were changing the MM up some to avoid mixing ranks as much? I mean, something besides diamonds not MM with lower ranks.

@pandareno1999 It says yesterday because they are ahead but earlier it said 2 hours ago which was after the split.

Yeah it was the first game after split, so it thought I was plat 4 for that one game.
