As an experienced player for many years, I can spot when a player knows what he’s doing. Fundamentals and bringing the right ops/utility may seem basic but it’s not seen as often in Plat. If anyone brings the same skill, they themselves can reach High plat/diamond since elo is lower now. Trust me this guy is def goated! And yes, I see it’s the Hibana charm, it was glowing purple 😂

I’m glad to see acknowledgement of how terrible it is to solo queue in those ranks. I’m stuck at gold 1 right now because I stopped playing for the last 3 seasons and I was previously a plat one player and the people I get stuck with in gold make it impossible to get wins when the other team knows what they are doing.

I currently have a 1.7 kd this season, I usually play with a 3 stack or more and have consistently been in gold one, and low plat, I’ve been solo queuing the entire time this season, I’m stuck in silver😂 I just dropped 22 kills which is a personal best in a 9 round overtime game and had to ace to win the game… rank means nothing in this game because you can only do so much. If you have a shit team there is literally no chance of you winning.

I was in a 1v5 on coastline got it to a 1v1 with 20 seconds to go, but I had two angry kids screeching an literally screaming down the mic at me that loud I cancelled taking lesions gu mines out twice when I was trying to plant. I might've won the round but I couldn't even hear the last defender pushing so I got off the plant to pre-fire an nearly got lucky, well instinct maybe. If they’d of just been nice dudes giving calls I would've been able to think and not panic an get angry! Typical they started of cocky on defense with a few kills but when it came to attack they were instantly rushing in and dying and both ended up bottom of the board

[@majiste-]

@@BeyondtheIightsthose are the type of people who just hit plat 3 once and cant get back into it or higher into plat no matter how hard they try and they think that since they have hit plat 3 before they are the best player in the lobby and everyone who beats them or is better than them is just garbage or is cheating and they think that because their ego is through the roof.

[@miloda_bess]

If there is one rank that is legit near impossible to solo queue out of, it is getting from copper-silver due to the smurfs from plats and diamond. I’ve even seen a champ smurfing. Unless you are really good at 1v5s, you don’t have a chance without a 5 stack. Some people com, but very rare, and in some games, I’ve gone 12 and 4 and still lost because my team gets 0 kills. Do you have any tips for solo queueing in low ranks because I am really just looking for whatever I can to break out of it and really struggling.

[@miloda_bess]

The team I queue with is legit in China and Korea over the summer, but during the winter, we are normally able to get into gold/plat if we play all of our placements. Over the summer tho, I have no American/Canadian friends to queue with.

[@Magentawow]

The reason the therm and hib were on pool last round is cause their entry’s are morons and neither of them did strip over to clear the roam so they were prob trying to force the erfrag on roam or fuck em hatch doesn’t need to be opened immediately it was only 1 min in the round but they could have been faster and more effective

Why do people make so many holes in the walls if they aren’t going to communicate and play it and contest them, if those holes get played by the enemy it makes the defenders job a ton harder. This is even more true when there’s no ops that can deny enemy flashes and frags.

Lines of sight can allow for cross fire situations, plant denial or any defenders wanting to flank the attackers once they breach into site.
