Re: Why you think Noobs play Platinum (and why you are wrong)

The title is kind of misleading. Alot of plat 4 players need the ability to downgrade to gold. Noob is subjective. If you can’t withdraw from a fight or have no game sense to not take on certain fights(you know open fights with your back and every side exposed) I will call you a noob. 

I make diamond in ranked by slugging through solo and platinum. My biggest gripe this season with ranked in general is being punished on points for killing lower ranked players. Yet getting saddled with gold and silver players through plat that have no business being there. If you fire as soon as you see an enemy it is going to be a hard pass from me. 

I used to get mad now I just expect bad teammates and play to my advantage. If that means leaving a teammate who hot rushed a squad by himself so be it. Games are meant to be fun and ranked is just to test your skill. Sometimes you win sometimes not.

As far as straight up boosting that is a crock of butt residue. I know it happens, discord when I was on there was full of players offering it. I don’t know about anyone else but I play to have fun and if I am not I find something else. I am using rank as filler now and then and I am leaving standard apex alone.

To sum up one can make it to plat and still be a noob, getting kills doesn’t signify anything. Gold hot drop get 4 kills as caustic or fuse in a poi where these legends are superior. There you just got positive points. Do that in plat and you may make positive 4 before getting wrecked. 

Anyhoot that is just my 2 Pennie’s worth. Good night, happy holidays and enjoy your game of choice everyone.
