To those more competetive players
And especially those who play solo, My recomendation to save frustration is that you should start climbing ranked early in the season, Because your everyday randoms and noob players have the abilit...

@damsonwhufndthisnot sure what is the aim of this topic you have created...
Give a tip on how to rank up quicker? Exploit (in a way) the system to rank up faster? Tip on how to get to a higher rank than you actually are?
If so what's next? Advertising account boost, playing with someone else account to boost the player, cheat <- all these are even easier ways to rank up don't you agree?
In my opinion ranked modes always have been and should remain a mode for a more competitive players, who are not just having fun, and want to take the game more serious.
Rest - ranking - should be just side effect. You play, you show the skill, you rank up or down.
The ultimate goal for a person in ranked is to become better, eventually even better than anyone else.
If you set a goal for yourself to reach a certain rank no matter what it takes + do it as fast as possible - I guess we can talk about your values and goals in this game.
p.s. current system seems to favor early season rank-up because more ranks are mixed together leaving more room for skill gap = easier lobbies vs. later in the season when ranks are more refined, competition more fair, no easy games or vice versa. And in the end I understand that some people with a similar attitude "I don't want to grind" do switch to alternative accounts/smurfs and spoil the fun for others as described above, but you @damsonwhufndthis can't complain because you are basically advertising the same thing - easy lobbies, easy RP, easy rank-up.
@EREGDSI think you got my point out quite wrong
Where did I talked about ranking up quicker? I only said you should play ranks earlier before losers that have to smurf start playing on their smurf accounts.
Because after that happens ranking up is virtually impossible
Imagine you'Re like a good player that can light someone up and finish them
against a no life sweaty Wraith that can learned the recoil so much she hits all the bullets from her R99 or Eva shotgun right in your face and doesn't even have to empty the full magazine to kill you
I play ranked to get better and play vs good players and not to get destroyed by someone who spent more time playing this game than sleeping
@damsonwhufndthiswell what's the difference then between following cases:
1. you are "late" to the game and have to play in lobbies where there are more than usual smurfs
2. you are "early" to the party, rank up a bit say ex diamond 4 demoted to gold 2 and now ranked to platinum 4 <- lobby that initially will contain ex masters and preds almost exclusively with some high diamond players
3. ex diamond 4 ranked down to gold 2 playing in lobbies that contain all kind of players given season 9 change = gold lobbies contain pretty much every level exept diamond+...
Either way, there will be a period of time when there will be a mix of players involved. The same as the level of difficulty differs between daytime or server you play in. The same as your enjoyment will be ruined on regular basis by hackers.
In my opinion (getting back to my post) people who are playing ranked should not think about stuff like this, just focus on doing their best and improve. And when you do that you stop caring which level are you on B4 or Predator, it is all relative and noone said that people from lower rank than Pred can't make it to competitive gaming and prove to be outstanding or whatever your goal is.In the meantime, if you want to flex a badge or level to your friends and that's all - don't waste your time, just play a bit, pretend to do it regularly and ask someone to boost you for free or money. Will save a ton of time, even more than in the scenario suggested by you.
Also, I do not agree with the statement that it is impossible to rank up with smurfs in the lobby - as bad as SBMM looks to be it still does not put you into a lobby of only smurfs, there will still be some your level and weaker level players, so is true pretty much in all lobbies.@EREGDSwell mate there is certainly a big bloody difference between all 3
you didn't think about all the variables
also I can see you either don't play ranked or didn't have problem like I had
Also telling someone to ask someone for boost is like the worst advice you could give to anyone
let me tell you what is wasting time, playing ranked near/at the end of season
