I ACTUALLY HIT DIAMOND!! Apex Legends

Today's tale is about hitting Diamond in Season 12 of Apex Legends - something that has eluded many players, me especially - and I've played since day 1. After reading a Dexerto article where Aceu gave some suggestions on ranking up, I tried to take at least one of them on board. 3 stacking wasn't an option as I wanted to know that other players weren't carrying me across the finish line, so it had to be solo queue. Sadly, as you will see - fate isn't without a sense of irony, but we're big on proving things to ourselves on this channel.
Our Legends today are Bloodhound and Pathfinder, and editing this episode was a bit tougher as the ranked battles on Olympus are more about timing and precision than action packed clips that can be bunched together. There was a huge amount of tension and I finally understood the reason they call the games "sweaty"!
Ranking up to Diamond in solo queue is something that I have been on a rollercoaster of emotions with, because I wanted to quit so many times when the randos dropped hot and left me 1v3 in the first fight for -36 RP. But I think Diamond is achieveable for anyone with an evolving awareness of their positioning, and the ability to learn from their previous decisions. The thing I learned most about this journey was patience...the hardest lesson of all.

Dude, your content is the most creative Apex content out there, in my opinion. The story-telling makes your videos so much more different from the other apex content I watch in yt, and their structure and episodic nature makes it feel like a television show.

[@tucktown524]

This is the first video I seen from you. Your edits are absolutely fire and your commentary is hilarious all while being very entertaining and truthful. Consider me subscribed and a supporter. Keep up the excellent content my friend 👍🏽

I love jumping onto KZbin and seeing a new video from you. What's even better is seeing it has 10k views in just an hour. I often get frustrated with Apex, but watching your own growth in this game keeps me striving to be better. You're gameplay and genuine wholesomeness as a person is exactly what we need more of one the Apex community much less KZbin as a whole. Thank you for all that you do Ragg!

I keep going between plat 1-2 because for some reason the player base became three times worse than it was in bronze. People making the dumbest choices, all my teams landing hot and dying in the first thirty seconds. Etc

[@Chris-bd6uc]

apparently there is a new system in place which is making it easier to climb the ranks.. all the pro players are mad about it because they work so hard to get there before and now its easier...

[@MagisterWigbo]

For what it's worth, Shiv said that climbing this season is much easier than in the past. Not sure why that is, because I've pretty much not played this season, but maybe there's something to it...

[@Chris-bd6uc]

@@MagisterWigbo its just a business move.. the easier it is the more people that can make it to masters or pred the more people are more likely to keep playing for longer periods instead of rage uninstalling. also the more people that are playing and grinding to masters/pred the more money being spent on skins and battle passes etc. its a pretty shitty move but at the end of the day they are a business and we have the choice to invest in it or not.sorry for the essay lol
