Adding to the positioning thing. I tried doing the Diamond to master climb with 2 friends who both were really good mechanically but were used to bad positioning because they only played pubs. They had several 4k20 badges, but in ranked they would overextend and overestimate their abilities many times. On top of that they underestimated their opponents, but one thing you have to realize is that pretty much everyone in Diamond knows how to aim and is playing with friends/communicating. If you're overextended you will get punished, if you're poorly positioned you will feel it. Stick to your teammates like they have honey between their buttcheeks.
Me and my wife hit diamond for a the first time a couple weeks ago. Our first 2 games in D4 we got shat on by predators lol. Haven't played it again since. These tips will help when get back there in season 12. Thanks Nokoko 😁
@@Havikolabee it's a whole new world isn't it. I play in the Australian servers and there is a low player base so the amount of masters and preds we get put into lobbies with is ridiculous lol.
@@StynaGamez well it's not so much a new world per say. Just a world I'm used to living in where every goddamn round I'm getting destroyed by everyone. I'm slowly learning the ropes for sure though
As of right now, I'm a hardstuck d4 and these tips will help on the way solo queing but I hope I gain rp on the way in a short period of time. Thanks Noko!
I've been there for quite some time bro actually stuck D3 honestly. but this season I'm actully doing what better and I'm like 100 RP from D2 the best thing everytime that helps me is going circle with Valkyrie everytime right off of drop after looting of course and scanning next circle. But getting to that next ring has helped almost double my chances of getting KP in a game.
NOKO PLEASE READ! I have been watching all of your Ranked Guides and Tips have learned soooo much. I was stuck in play for the longest time and finally made it to diamond. My communicating, accuracy, and in game decisions is way better. I just want to say thank you and im looking forward to more great content!
Hey guys , I FINALLY made it to masters for the first time. Im a day 1 player and what i can say is patience is key. Youll find yourself climbing way quicker when your patient. Dont rush too hard and wait till end game to really engage. Its hard and long(pause) but you ALL could do it. Good luck
In Diamond people know how to play the game. My teammates: Hold my beer and lets land fragment with 5 other teams. And hey btw, this is my plat iv teammate I brought with me.
@@TommyVProjects Not gonna lie, you literally described me. After watching both getting out of diamond videos, I realized I've been fucking myself and a lot of my random teammates 🤣 I'm a Bang and Oct main, but I also main Bloodhound and Ash now, every now and then. I just feel stronger w Bang and Oct so I always impulsively switch back. I've been stuck in D4 with some friends all of Season 11(Yes, that's sad af 😔) Honestly, we were that team that really grinded through Plat 3rd partying and taking out teams, but we found ourselves getting punished a lot for minor mistakes. We're learning though, I'm gonna be a different animal next season 💪😈 I'm gonna come back to this when I hit Masters to show the evolution. Happy grinding guys 🙏
Recently did the climb from Diamond to Master. Around D2 we found a random 3rd who we played with more as we had good chemistry. This guy said that he was pred before but got banned because he used the caustic speed glitch and is smurfing to get around (he said this when we got to D1). Cool, whatever. Within 2 days we went from D2 to Master, but something felt off. This dude always seemed to have crazy intel on where everyone was, but he was playing pathfinder. He didn't do more damage than any of us, we were pretty even and we often outdamaged him. However, he hit Master before us so my friend gave him a smurf account in Plat so we could play Diamond lobbies together. That account ended up getting banned, and as we found out our friend was a cheater. If he used aimbot it must've been a soft bot, but his intel came in clutch so many times. My point? Positioning and intel is more important than aim in these lobbies, though aim is still important. Also, there's going to be a lot of cheaters in Diamond, most of the times you won't even know it. Kinda sad that this dude felt the need to cheat to get to his rank.
@@lordmoncef5494 carried by a cheater? We were pretty far through D2 when we met him and got from D4 to D2 in 2 days. We both made Masters before and I currently have 3 accounts sitting in Diamond that I solo queued with.
@@Drinkyoghurt so ?? U still got helped by a cheater any half decebt player can and will get to diamond but ur ass got carried to masters and u proud of it even though u admitted that u got carried by a cheatee
@@lordmoncef5494 proud? Nah? Carried? Also no. Like I said, most of the time we did more damage than the cheater. Making masters isn’t difficult, especially after the S8 changes. I think you and I have a different definition of getting carried.
@@Drinkyoghurt yeah don't worry about him, he is definitely a hardstuck d4, he is trying so hard to take away your achievement as to make himself feel better, you were already in d2 so you could've and eventually would've made it to masters with or without your cheater friend.
Love watching these Noko, as someone who's played from season 1 I still find a ton of great, new info from each one of these guides. Love the content and it shows because I was your last subscriber for the last 5 mins of the last game😁 here's to another 13 months my guy👌🤟👌
So difficult without a stacked squad or any comms. What I tend to do is communicate as much as possible and use the whole ping wheel very often. It gives your random team mates more confidence that you are enthusiastic about the win.
I have downloaded your entire vod in entirety. This feat is actually the hardest and longest rank to get by. I have played on controller and made it to masters with coaching as well as friends. Being this good is extremely hard because you gotta IGL/have patience/play meta. Thanks for all you do noko video games and Apex pros inspire me alot. Once i am consistent with making this feat as you have i will post my own videos as well. Thanks for help with the progess man.
I’ve been playing ranked on pc for a couple months now and I hit masters like 1week ago. I’m not gonna lie the tips you gave I implemented them in my gameplay and they work
I’m D3 solo right now, I feel like I just need to work on being aggressive and taking more fights. I have good positioning and awareness, make good calls on third party’s and winning spots, but off drop fighting and iso 3v3s are my weakness. Thanks for the tips 🙏🏽
Landing uncontested is a very viable solo queue strategy. Keep your head on a swivel in that dropping and you don't even always have to land at a POI. I've soloed to masters twice.
@@loxodonwizard9867 damn that’s facts u really sound like a masters player. I’m a new player n I was in plat 3 in szn 11. And I’m now in plat 3-4 in this season so I’m playing with allot of masters/ high diamond n i noticed that’s how u win a 3v3. Either U get a knock or hard crack in a 1v1, or u punish one that’s alone, or get a dominant angle.
Lol that's just how this community is unless your coming from somewhere like this channel then we are all here cause we need a little help getting better
Yeah it’s sad… I play duo ranked with my friend (we have both been master several times) and the amount of toxic teammates we get is insane. The craziest part is most games we don’t load in with a teammate we get a lot of kp and high placement. It really shows how toxicity can effect a team. You just gotta get on to the next game
Really really love ur tutorials and every single video u make, the way u explain, the way u inspire confidence ir our selfs, is magnificent cheers from Chile Noko
As someone that does this, this video doesn't handle the majority of the games which are your teammates suicide into the middle of two teams and then you have to solo the entire game hoping to 3rd party someone from distance for KP and playing the rat game.
Hey Noko, I started playing Apex a year ago, it’s my first shooter, and I really struggle with my aim, but thanks to your tips I was able to solo (for the most part) to Plat. Just focusing on positioning and comms, and what fights to take is so effective. This guide, your original guide, and your RTM were so good for knowledge! Keep doing what your doing Cheers to you from a Wattson main
I recommend spending a season playing pubs aggressive/playing ranked like pubs and aim training in some form apex was my first shooter for 10 years and now I'm diamond 2 solo and have pretty decent aim
Hit diamond for the first time late during the split of this recording, already hit diamond on Olympus and preparing for the grind. I really love this video, feel like it gave so much insight!
Your videos helped me tremendously to not run around like a lost boy… I have good experience in tactical fps, avoided BRs till now. I‘m still failing a lot but I think it will be smoother the more hours I have played. First season and I‘m somehow diamond. Even won the first 2 games in dia.
Man noko is definitely my favourite apex youtuber out there but damn those callouts *starts shooting a guy and zipline and hits for 19 and 14 "uhhh 50" lmao
You forgot to mention that diamond is the most toxic rank, everyone’s ego goes sky high with the majority of players being all aim no brain. Plus the constant duos you get put with who just ditch you mid fight or have horrible game sense that will cost you games all the time. Not to mention the bugged servers every other game making gaining points practically impossible that game!
It really is a hard analysis of yourself because I was same way stuck D4 as well but honestly you have to really look at what legends are good for and use them in certain scenarios. Crypto can either be used to be really agressisve from his ult which most people aren't. Or he can be super passive helping scan and used to gain banners but that not very useful when you think about it and it's just not a legend that's very versatile. I play with a lifeline main that's really good and hes really good but I feel is limiting out gameplay because of that. Idk GOOD LUCK MAN and I hope you get there
You call that fun? That was so painful! I just finished that an hour ago and don't wanna touch the game ever again! I'm still gonna but man! Fr though, glhf out there
@@yagitoshinori9272 when playing for points plat is frustrating cause there are good and dog shit players so teammates and opponents can have varying skill levels. Playing on an alt in plat after hitting diamond is a blast. It can be challenging but overall not too sweaty yet a very aggressive play style. Definitely a lot of fun.
Bloodhound is the perfect legend to punish players that overextend and have bad positioning. Your gameplay gave me a ton of new ideas to try out thanks! Also fist time in the Diamond lobby loving this new challenge.
Just hit diamond rank a yesterday in solo. Our comp went Horizon, Valk (me), and last pick adjust to Gibby. This comp made us champion. we trio'd for 2 games more and won the game. Those are my first few games on diamond rank being a hardstuck plat. Having Gibby + Valk combo in a comp is broken. Then I solo'd again then lost all my RP. No comms, no team comps whatsoever.
I would have to disagree with caustic over wattson, her ceiling is higher but i feel like people are dumber when it comes to fighting a wattson. If her nodes are placed in a good way, that building is locked down pretty well compared to someone who can shoot a caustic barrel and wait to push.
A good Watson is clutch, but a good caustic is better, his kit is just so much more useful in those close battles, his gas alt will clutch way more than Watson's nodes and alt.
@@ian3136 with the current meta and all the stupid throwables like fuse, Ginny, caustic & valk I’d prefer a wattson. I’ve been running Wattson over caustic but i guess it would depend on playstyle right?
@@extracokebottle3435 Ya depends on play style. I have a really good caustic tm8 with 6k kills and just the amount of power caustic has holding down an area inside is pretty crazy. Even if they throw a bunch of grenades and stuff you should be pretty safe with your last resort crouching behind a indestructible barrel. Watson is also good at holding down areas like that but her nodes are breakable and can usually be shot out when destroying the door and getting an angle on it. Big Gas Daddy is also more thicc so thats whats more important at the end of the day.
Noko pls do a guide on climbing from masters to Pred pls for us we love the guides, maybe focus on intense endgames, keep up the great work though regardless!!! Love the content and the grind for YT vids while also streaming! Inspirational! 👏👏👏
Ty for the guide Nico, don't see myself as a master player. Just a casual diamond I hope. I'm a Gibby main. I also want to be able to play most characters
I love how Noko always says I cracked this and cracked that while he really isn't, but when there is a Seer in the team who sees health bars he is quickly adjusting like, I cracked him... almost.😂😂😂
Heat shields go all the way to the ground. If people are above you, and the storm is closing, you can use their heat shield instead of your own. Then once they’ve run out of heat shields, you can start using your own, and they either have to die in the storm or push down to you. Either way, they’re gonna eat the storm and it’s gonna hurt.
Season 11 was really bad so my desire to grind rank faded. But now after watching these guides I deff gonna grind rank in season 12. Thanks Noko these are the best ranked guides on youtube.
Lucky for me I’ve been able to climb to masters in Season 10 and This Season for both game modes. I like to think it was because of your videos so Thank You Noko
I’ve been playing apex and nothing but apex since season 4-5, haven’t gotten anymore than 8kills in a game…just switched to mnk cuz I didn’t feel like controller had my full potential…any advice to improve to maybe get a 20 bomb? I feel like I’m hitting my head against a wall but I love this game
Last season I was gold now I’ve hit diamond twice got a 20 bomb and a 4k all I did was just play and when I’m not playing watching pros play how they position in fights, guns they use
Finally made it to diamond. Hard stuck plat for last 3 seasons. Love your vids bro. Wish I could get your input on my game play. Hopefully I get to see ya in season 12 that next gen update brings pc and next gen consoles together
THANK YOU for saying that about bangalore im so tired of getting these random bangalores on my team who are so bad. i dont even understand how they get above gold.
I'm D4 in Apex legends, but Iron/bronze in Koovak. I still miss way too many shots. I can bet if I keep up aim training, I'll eventually start to gain RP again. My positioning is not that bad, i just loose 70% of gun fights (even if i have high ground) due to aim if a teammate doesn't help me. And yes, i'm pretty new to Mouse and keyboard (400 hours total fps experience with it)
i used to play on ps4 and it didn’t give a steady 60 fps and i couldn’t make it out of plat 4, but since i jumped to an xbox series s i’m d1 almost masters with like 19 days left.. this vid should just be get a new a gen and you’ll succeed
This is my first time playing ranked I had the game since b4 season 2 but never actually played only played a couple games and stopped till season 5 and played quit and came back at the end of season 11 and me and my friend got to diamond and I play gib since I ain't good enough to be the fragger and I know my limit so that's why I play support and I'm getting better but the bad games get me feeling like I ain't improving what so ever but I can say I love the game.
Diamond is literally pain because no one wants to fight and for that there's like 10 squads alive in round 3, but once I made it to master and fought 1 team 10 squads were left before round 1 closed...
One of my first couple games in diamond I died and was spectating a cheating fuse on my team. He got cracked in a 1v1 he stood still in cover, and teleported himself away to bat up and still died lmao
My man needs to do this for console. The support you're getting is impossible on console cause on pc in diamond you need somewhat decent aim but on console you don't. You can make it to diamond and play no type of range game.......
How to play Ranked this season: 1: Always assume there is a squad literally two feet behind you, because there is, and you WILL NOT hear them. That's literally it.
26:05 min that Flatline spray, how ? Please teach me .... I BEG YOU ! What's the secret? I seen people saying A + D quickly, others say do little circles with me mouse but man that was an actual laser ! I need to KNOW !
I watched this video and felt motivation to grind ranked. I got through platinum in 3 days with my friend who is level 400. I have a 2.17 ranked kd this season BTW. As soon as I hit diamond I followed your advice but as soon as I got good positioning people would bum rush us. Then we would get 3rd partied and 4th partied while everyone uses charge rifles and triple takes. I just don't know what to do... I hit diamond every season but my teammates don't want to listen to my calls and overall, solo queuing sucks if you are an above average player in diamond. Please give any tips as they would be appreciated.
Positioning could get you so far, but depending on where ring is going and where you are, things can get tricky. I say what is sounds like is you guys get fixated on positioning and probaly dont apply enough pressure. If you guys sit in a spot and a very apey team notices, they will crack you and then punish you and take the spot. Getting past Diamond you have to play aggressive when you need to and dont be scared to take fights. Id say your half way there, just need to develop that dynamic game sense. Keep grinding
Good advice Noko However for the last 70 games!!!!! I have been ratting in corners and bushes and am masters. I also think your advice is valuable to other players just mine is better :D.
I'm the wattson in game one! It was super fun playing with you and I totally wasn't nervous as all hell the whole time 😄
i was his moral support
hahaha awwww you did good! You do realize they are both alive because you revive them right? That's a big thing!
good job!!!!
You two did so fvcking good!!
You played so smart. Good stuff!
Adding to the positioning thing. I tried doing the Diamond to master climb with 2 friends who both were really good mechanically but were used to bad positioning because they only played pubs. They had several 4k20 badges, but in ranked they would overextend and overestimate their abilities many times. On top of that they underestimated their opponents, but one thing you have to realize is that pretty much everyone in Diamond knows how to aim and is playing with friends/communicating. If you're overextended you will get punished, if you're poorly positioned you will feel it. Stick to your teammates like they have honey between their buttcheeks.
When i stick to my randoms i die, so yeah, not for everyone
Honey between their bumcheeks 😂😂
the issue is solo Q...playing with your team is less impactful as they normally ape and die
Just got some local fresh honey today. Nice
Him raging at the match quality thing is 100% the most relatable thing in the game

I'm hard stuck D4 since season 7 😅. I've been dead set on making it with Crypto... Apparently this is my mistake
Solo is too stressful.
It really is a hard analysis of yourself because I was same way stuck D4 as well but honestly you have to really look at what legends are good for and use them in certain scenarios. Crypto can either be used to be really agressisve from his ult which most people aren't. Or he can be super passive helping scan and used to gain banners but that not very useful when you think about it and it's just not a legend that's very versatile. I play with a lifeline main that's really good and hes really good but I feel is limiting out gameplay because of that. Idk GOOD LUCK MAN and I hope you get there
making it with crypto to diamond solo q is already a huge w
It’s the journey through Platinum that’s the most fun for me👌🏼
You call that fun? That was so painful! I just finished that an hour ago and don't wanna touch the game ever again!
I'm still gonna but man!
Fr though, glhf out there
@@yagitoshinori9272 when playing for points plat is frustrating cause there are good and dog shit players so teammates and opponents can have varying skill levels. Playing on an alt in plat after hitting diamond is a blast. It can be challenging but overall not too sweaty yet a very aggressive play style. Definitely a lot of fun.
Bloodhound is the perfect legend to punish players that overextend and have bad positioning. Your gameplay gave me a ton of new ideas to try out thanks! Also fist time in the Diamond lobby loving this new challenge.
Amazing plays with bloodhound
Just hit diamond rank a yesterday in solo. Our comp went Horizon, Valk (me), and last pick adjust to Gibby. This comp made us champion. we trio'd for 2 games more and won the game. Those are my first few games on diamond rank being a hardstuck plat. Having Gibby + Valk combo in a comp is broken. Then I solo'd again then lost all my RP. No comms, no team comps whatsoever.
Dude you're a REALLY good IGL. Would love to get random teammates like you.
Started a solo Q to master alt account yesterday, went from d4 to D3 in one day, and im high D3 currently . im doin good so far
Do you think horizon is still viable in higher ranks?
I would have to disagree with caustic over wattson, her ceiling is higher but i feel like people are dumber when it comes to fighting a wattson. If her nodes are placed in a good way, that building is locked down pretty well compared to someone who can shoot a caustic barrel and wait to push.
A good Watson is clutch, but a good caustic is better, his kit is just so much more useful in those close battles, his gas alt will clutch way more than Watson's nodes and alt.
Hey, Void!
@@nishantmishra5884 hi! :)
@@ian3136 with the current meta and all the stupid throwables like fuse, Ginny, caustic & valk I’d prefer a wattson. I’ve been running Wattson over caustic but i guess it would depend on playstyle right?
@@extracokebottle3435 Ya depends on play style. I have a really good caustic tm8 with 6k kills and just the amount of power caustic has holding down an area inside is pretty crazy. Even if they throw a bunch of grenades and stuff you should be pretty safe with your last resort crouching behind a indestructible barrel. Watson is also good at holding down areas like that but her nodes are breakable and can usually be shot out when destroying the door and getting an angle on it. Big Gas Daddy is also more thicc so thats whats more important at the end of the day.
Love how informative and thorough you are great video series well done
I been using bloodhound a lot this rank split and he helped me get diamond for the first time
i love you noko ur tips actually helps
Thanks for this guide man I just hit diamond 4 don’t plan on getting masters this season but maby season 12💪🏻
Noko pls do a guide on climbing from masters to Pred pls for us we love the guides, maybe focus on intense endgames, keep up the great work though regardless!!! Love the content and the grind for YT vids while also streaming! Inspirational! 👏👏👏
Ty for the guide Nico, don't see myself as a master player. Just a casual diamond I hope. I'm a Gibby main. I also want to be able to play most characters
I love how Noko always says I cracked this and cracked that while he really isn't, but when there is a Seer in the team who sees health bars he is quickly adjusting like, I cracked him... almost.😂😂😂
Just a suggestion but what if people sent in their gameplays and you can go over what that person did wrong and critique there gameplay? 🤔
Heat shields go all the way to the ground. If people are above you, and the storm is closing, you can use their heat shield instead of your own. Then once they’ve run out of heat shields, you can start using your own, and they either have to die in the storm or push down to you. Either way, they’re gonna eat the storm and it’s gonna hurt.
Season 11 was really bad so my desire to grind rank faded. But now after watching these guides I deff gonna grind rank in season 12. Thanks Noko these are the best ranked guides on youtube.
Lucky for me I’ve been able to climb to masters in Season 10 and This Season for both game modes. I like to think it was because of your videos so Thank You Noko
I’ve been playing apex and nothing but apex since season 4-5, haven’t gotten anymore than 8kills in a game…just switched to mnk cuz I didn’t feel like controller had my full potential…any advice to improve to maybe get a 20 bomb? I feel like I’m hitting my head against a wall but I love this game
Last season I was gold now I’ve hit diamond twice got a 20 bomb and a 4k all I did was just play and when I’m not playing watching pros play how they position in fights, guns they use
Solo q more,also DONT waste a lot of time on looting,land more hot.
Get kills early
i felt that intro to 100% :D
Finally made it to diamond. Hard stuck plat for last 3 seasons. Love your vids bro. Wish I could get your input on my game play. Hopefully I get to see ya in season 12 that next gen update brings pc and next gen consoles together
Ur plat-diamond helped me get to diamond the first time
I really hope theres a follow up video in this series on how to climb masters
Never comment but I loved this video so.. thanks
you’ve got a new sub, great video much help
THANK YOU for saying that about bangalore im so tired of getting these random bangalores on my team who are so bad. i dont even understand how they get above gold.
1st.: Love the thumbnail, good job Mike
I went with bang for solo que on storm point . it helped for when i had to 1v3 and her movement is clean
Noko is educating the youth
I'm D4 in Apex legends, but Iron/bronze in Koovak. I still miss way too many shots. I can bet if I keep up aim training, I'll eventually start to gain RP again. My positioning is not that bad, i just loose 70% of gun fights (even if i have high ground) due to aim if a teammate doesn't help me.
And yes, i'm pretty new to Mouse and keyboard (400 hours total fps experience with it)
i used to play on ps4 and it didn’t give a steady 60 fps and i couldn’t make it out of plat 4, but since i jumped to an xbox series s i’m d1 almost masters with like 19 days left.. this vid should just be get a new a gen and you’ll succeed
Rewatching this and realizing at 6:09 you gave them the idea for the caustic nerf 😂😂
love the guides noko
Just hit masters this split yesterday good tips :)
I'm so close almost D2 and I'm gona do this time finally if not I'm gona be bummed out
@@Aqualad2097 good luck man I believe in you :)
Hit masters last night :)
This is my first time playing ranked I had the game since b4 season 2 but never actually played only played a couple games and stopped till season 5 and played quit and came back at the end of season 11 and me and my friend got to diamond and I play gib since I ain't good enough to be the fragger and I know my limit so that's why I play support and I'm getting better but the bad games get me feeling like I ain't improving what so ever but I can say I love the game.
Diamond is literally pain because no one wants to fight and for that there's like 10 squads alive in round 3, but once I made it to master and fought 1 team 10 squads were left before round 1 closed...
I stopped playing apex after Obi came out. But when I did play. I only watched noko and Lulu🥰
Nice call out with bloodhound
which server did you play these games?
im a new diamond currently, trying to push for masters. Basically what im learning is, you have to be passive/aggressive
Wdym?
One of my first couple games in diamond I died and was spectating a cheating fuse on my team. He got cracked in a 1v1 he stood still in cover, and teleported himself away to bat up and still died lmao
"Your barrels are indestructible"
@Nokokopuffs Mad Maggie wasn't out yet, would you recommend her for ranked too as of right now?
For anyone who solo queued to masters, what character did you use and why?
My man needs to do this for console. The support you're getting is impossible on console cause on pc in diamond you need somewhat decent aim but on console you don't. You can make it to diamond and play no type of range game.......
Currently grinding d4 right now, more than half the time I die it's to a master💀😤 solo queue is rough
The climb is tough that is for sure, always apprecciate some tips and wisdom cuz its kinda wacked out there sometimes lmao
I made it to masters noko:) thanks man you da goat
How to play Ranked this season:
1: Always assume there is a squad literally two feet behind you, because there is, and you WILL NOT hear them.
That's literally it.
Are the streams for this run full of tips as well? Or was this just done on certain games? Would love to hear more!
Can you do a guide on playing in masters/pred?
Nice to know that even pros sometimes miss all their flatline shots…
Loba main to masters let's go! Loot at last games Is important in my opinion
« Seer is Okay ish », 6 months later Seer had zero change and he is super meta now 😆
26:05 min that Flatline spray, how ? Please teach me .... I BEG YOU ! What's the secret? I seen people saying A + D quickly, others say do little circles with me mouse but man that was an actual laser ! I need to KNOW !
It’s called Jitter Aiming you should be able to find tons of info on it on here and reddit!
just solo queued to diamond using crypto, saved my team countless times with banner retrieval
@nokokopuffs whens the how to climb OUT OF depression comin?
I watched this video and felt motivation to grind ranked. I got through platinum in 3 days with my friend who is level 400. I have a 2.17 ranked kd this season BTW. As soon as I hit diamond I followed your advice but as soon as I got good positioning people would bum rush us. Then we would get 3rd partied and 4th partied while everyone uses charge rifles and triple takes. I just don't know what to do... I hit diamond every season but my teammates don't want to listen to my calls and overall, solo queuing sucks if you are an above average player in diamond. Please give any tips as they would be appreciated.
Other than boosted players everyone in diamond is a good player
Positioning could get you so far, but depending on where ring is going and where you are, things can get tricky. I say what is sounds like is you guys get fixated on positioning and probaly dont apply enough pressure. If you guys sit in a spot and a very apey team notices, they will crack you and then punish you and take the spot. Getting past Diamond you have to play aggressive when you need to and dont be scared to take fights. Id say your half way there, just need to develop that dynamic game sense. Keep grinding
Good advice Noko However for the last 70 games!!!!! I have been ratting in corners and bushes and am masters. I also think your advice is valuable to other players just mine is better :D.
Nvm old Map maybe youre the better player afterall :/...
Love this 🙌
Ngl I think I’m gonna quit ranked for a few seasons maybe 2 or 3
