Tips for Plat Ranked as a solo player
Hi Drongos. I'm not really one for ranked (never got past gold) but gave it a go this season with Valk and surprised myself in getting to Plat in about four playing sessions. Ditching Valk for Fusey...

@EdwardDLuffy I have no issue with fuse and actually enjoy using him. The issue is if those remaining teams see you as a lone fuse they will ape you. And plat players are better at aim than gold.
I have a proper team these days (only took me 3 years finding one hehe) but the biggest general mistake I see in ranked is that some players play like a newly turned vampire, yes we have one on the team but in his excuse hes only lvl 300 so he havent been able to get proper control over the blood thirst just yet hehe. (Famous last words, his one shot, oooooh)
You need to understand what is a good fight and bad fight, in general I notice fights when you land have a high probability of coin-flip wins (radom if you loose or win) because of the loot situation and quality of specific landing spot compared to the other teams, while early game looted fights can be healthy if you find someone who boboed on position or are running big split looting sessions. Late game is bone hard and everyone got everything and youre working for placement points, the last 5 positions are huge point hogs and gives so interesting fights with loads of tactics involved - its a lot of fun and adrenaline.
Going into a fight, understanding there is no such thing as committing to a fight, and understanding when to rotate or just pulling out is key for survival and points. Some fights we go in we see because of the situation, placement and general state of the team is not winnable so we pull out rotate and pick the fight at another time and place where we are at an advantage. When we as a team can balance this properly were normally harvesting plenty of RP, but yes at higher levels the less the bubu the bigger the consequence....
The best I come over is when you see a guy suddenly pushing because he hit a grenade or something and going all bloodrage like a newly turned vamp so we can single him out and just kill him there and then, to turn around and start killing the rest of the team is god sendt for us, especially at higher ranks the bloodrage can kill you soo fast.
Plat up hiding for points dont really work as youre at a disadvantage endgame for the last 5 positions as its not seldom I see 5+ teams on last ring and most of these have purple and red armors. Same higher ranked most actually run team comps so most of them have scanners, murphy says they spot you when youre in your worst state hehe.
