[@eazybleep4290]

Fax a normal player would be like a just casual level 500 that plays like 2-3 hours a day might have like a 3k and 20 bomb at least imo. Kandy on the other hand has been a Pred and is pretty cracked at the game so the title should of been former Pred tries to reach season 9 masters.

[@CodenameMood]

Kandy's skill doesn't necessarily come from talent though, it's mainly just copious amounts of gametime. Any decently talented player should be able to achieve his skill level with much fewer time.

That's cap brother. Kandy was not just a normal player then either. Mans been cracked for a long time. One of those coaches had nothing to tell kandy about his gameplay besides to crouch more in fights.

[@CurbsideT]

@@trevorblackburn6357 yeah he really was a normal player, just because one coach couldn't tell him something else doesn't make him good. He had better coaches that actually gave him advice on how to improve

[@trevorblackburn6357]

@@CurbsideT doesn't make him good? Yeah that's why he was trying for 4k damage at the time. Not something your normal player achieves. Like 3 videos after the coach one, season one came out and he started his push for predator. Not normal player stuff. Other ranked vids shortly after that feature him fighting tsm squad. Would a normal player be in that situation? Prolly not in ranked at least

There's a difference between the whole grain and a shaped pasta. Rice and wheat are unaltered grains. You make pasta (like orzo, spaghetti, etc.) by grinding wheat grains into flour and then shaping it. Rice noodles are made from rice flour, which is ground rice grains.

I hate being that negative person in the room, I really dislike negativity and try my best to always have a positive approach to all things I do. But sadly Apex Legends ranked mode kills the game for me, it's just not fun. The amount of sweat required to be poured into the game to do anything above Diamond is to such an extreme that I literally hit diamond and stop playing. This season in particular, I can't understand why.. maybe it's the fresh splits? I don't know but jesus christ man I hit platinum and my lobbies were FULL AND I MEAN FULL of stacks/predators/masters, why am I going up against people who literally eat/sleep/beat off to Apex who are two ranks above me? Why is it my fault that their servers are empty or they have long que times? Ranked Apex? I pass hard, it kills my enjoyment of the game. Also it feels like Smurfing lately is a plague for ranked, there's no way TTV-Beamzors who is level 67 belongs in Diamond with 4k/20bomb and 120 kills on an Octane.

Sorry Kandy, love ya, but no one who streams for a living I would consider a "normal player." More so, us average joe's who work the regular 8-5 and only have a couple of hours a night to play.

Yes, ranked is absolutely broken. Reaching diamond is too easy for a casual player and since diamonds face diamonds now even an average player can reach master. Only meaningful rank is predator anymore. Ranked is nothing more than competition on who grinds the most and doesnt represent skill in any way.
