@djentyman Either a respawn dev mentioned this in a tweet or I saw the stat posted by a youtuber that mined the info. it was something like from 5k to 20k. Huge increase which was credited to the RP change. Respawn wanted more diamonds masters and preds to fill queues.

@hayhor that's suspicious. think it this way. diamond players who were able to take d3 in previous season possibly could have taken masters. But for those who stucked on plat and even on d4 they are still unable because these ranked changes only give u an opportunity to have slightly higher final score and rank up a little bit faster. So where did these 15k new masters come from? Platinum lobby still the same, d4 lobby still the same. Only d3+ lobby has changed. It is now not against masters/preds like previous seasons.

    @djentyman What is suspicious? My friend's experience? I've known this person a long time and he would never cheat to make it. I play with him every day. He is easily good enough to make diamond and carries me plenty.

    Do other players get boosted? Absolutely they do. And people make money from it. I'm not arguing that. But they did make a change to the KP to make it easier. This doesnt just affect max. It means that you can avoid losing it earlier too.

    @djentymanI don't understand where you're coming from. As others have said, with more available RP to climb and changing ranked so d3 aren't automatically in master/pred lobbies is going to have a huge effect when combined.

    Take boosting out for a sec, (i know it's a problem) I said in a previous thread it's much easier this season as i got half way to masters solo after a 2 month break and i'm playing like a complete potato in comparison to before and probably would have made it if i didn't throw it all away the next day in a drinking session so there's bound to be a large increase.

    It's intentional to increase the amount of players in top matches because of que times but saturates masters with would/should be diamonds, imo, ruining ranked in the process.
