The real problem with solo queue is that most people play ranked from bronze to platinum like it's non ranked. If i don't get jump master there is almost 100% chance its a hot drop. Team gets shit on in seconds then i get the spam ping when i have to 1v3 to 1v12
They’ll come from party chat like where were you, oh idk gold four I didn’t want to land with 5 squads like I’m so close to diamond i don’t wanna lose 36 points off rip
Great information! I love how you always say something that I know, but I don't actively implement and need to remember to be thinking about during my apex gaming session! Thanks for helping us improve! Grats on 20K. Always UP!
Yes! The teams landing near your drop is so big for me! I've been noticing this and I try to stray away from dropping on a team (if I do, I would hope me and my teammates can pick them off quickly. It's better to the one who strays off alone. Then the chances of walking away with a squad wipe is much higher) if I know there's other teams dropping in multiple locations near it. I've soloqued a lot this season, but after going from plat 2 (and needing only a few RP to get to plat 1), back down to plat 3 for some very stupid executions, I decided to just add people to my friend's list to play ranked with. I can almost always immediately tell what kind of teammate I have based on where they drop and how they decide to engage when they drop. If they engage an entire team alone, or they don't listen to the pings (and I've even resorted to using my mic. this season) of me and my teammate my faith in actually winning the match decreases to about 50% haha If neither or them listen I either decide to try to pick off a kill or two from mid-ranged and rat as long as I can. And it never ceases to amaze me that the teammates that hot drop and expect me to follow are the one's hard stuck at plat 4. Now, there are some who are trying. But if there's anything that I've learned from the previous season and actually ranking up to diamond for the first time, is that a lot of the times your teammates will make very poor decisions. I myself have followed along simply because I don't want to leave them alone. But this very thing is the reason why I lost RP. You have to play smart. If you have to retrieve both banners, you can either simply circle around, or sneak and grab the closest one if you can't grab both. But know that it seems people are twice as aggressive this season and will usually attack as a group. And you're so right lol I haven't come across them much in ranked on console, but literally you cannot hide from Seer. When I play Seer I'm constantly scanning as me and my teammates run across the map xD You'd be amazed at how many teams are either duos or solo by the endgame.
Thank you for another extremely informative video. I've taken your advice and already secured a team for the next split. I've never really given Ranked a real go so I'm excited to use some of your tips to help navigate through the rank levels. If your new to this channel, definitely check out the other guides, any little tip you take can only make you a better Apex gamer. Keep them coming 👍
We have the same game plan but as an ex diamond player in play 3 rn you can’t even take a 50 50 against one contested team with ransoms. They die instantly and I’m forced to rat every game on stormpoint
If you contest with randoms just try to get a gun and immediately start shooting. You want to be the person who gets a down first to give ur randoms confidence to push with you. Don’t try to force anything and if ur team mates die they die, it’s on them. Good luck
I would rather 2 randoms make a bad call then be silent the whole match. Your right it’s makes a huge difference moving from gold into plat communication is almost necessary
@@DimiArt yeah same, was in plat for about almost a week until I found my squad who happen to be some IRL friends of mine so our chemistry is good..my buddies are struggling to get into Diamond atm, I’m there first split of season 11. Hit me up if you need a teammate always to play with anyone🤙🏼👍🏼
Up to plat is objectively easy.. the people who sit in plat 4 varies drastically. You have people who get 200 damage over 3 fights, people who you spectate and look LOST. People who the ranked system has carried them to plat by virtue of no deranking and almost guaranteed points by simply existing. Plat is harder because not only do you go from Plat to Plat I, but mainly Diamond and some Masters and depending on server traffic sometimes a Pred or two is in there. Be it current (if late in split) or ex (if midway through split). I was a noob in Season 8 when I first came back, hit Diamond with a 1 KD SoloQ no mic. The S11 the same with a 1.88 KD (then that lowered to around 1.5 as I hit D2 before dropping back down to D3) The only thing that remains a constant is that silver/gold (same shit) journey is the same regardless of where you're at in those two ranks. It's so easy. If you are having difficulty to get to platinum, it is NOT communication or "My shitty teammates". I'm sorry, but it's not. It's you.
@@ashryver3605 yeah i hit masters in solo que for the first time this season, and i've been diamond at least 5 times, i think when i struggle with plat, it's because i know in my head i can grind through the ranks fast, but when things don't go my way i get impatient haha. Anyone can get better, but bronze to gold players that can't get out of gold just need practice.
My team also lands launch pad I land top of back building no matter what and if uncontested my teammates each take a wing of launchpad and meet and middle rotate to grave cannon to the north
I do think I am at the 5:45 min mark and you said or suggested that one fight then planning to win is key but to max RP gain you can get up to 175 rp form kills which is different then before. I am not sure the meta is up to par with the change but I believe it was to help move Smurfs up quicker
I’m aware of the change but keeping my same game plan. Ranked should lean more towards a competitive play style and not team death match IMO. Also the majority of teams being able to just run around and fight everyone and gain more RP then losing is just super unlikely. Especially if they’re in their respective ranks.
I try to land on the north part of stormpoint and play valk. Its easy to find rats and if the ring is on the lower part of the map, 1 valk ult can get me from one end to the map to the other.
Even better have someone be your main shot caller. I usually end up with it cause im constantly looking around seeing whats going in even mid fight, and IGL if you will. When my teammates trust me and move with me it usually works out really well. Excoted to see how my calls work in diamond.
I never really played gibby until this season in ranked and boy oh boy have i been missing out. Now hes my main and i have his heirloom. Wish me luck on my solo q to masters😪
I personally think that you should be able to drop tiers from diamond to platinum or platinum to gold because all the hard stucks sell the game and throw
Hiya, I'm new here and I just seen your gibby video from 4 months ago, it was good, I don't think you mentioned that his bubble can be thrown at such a far distance for in case your teammates are way ahead of you 🤘
Both my teammates died off rip I texted them and then they died again even tho they were safe the ran straight into a fight then I after that round 2 zone I won the game with max kp on my own in a play match lol
Everyone I need advice, i solo in ranked but all of my random teammates use their mics But I am really insecure of my Voice (I'm only 14) so everybody makes fun of me and doesn't take me seriously... Where can I find teammates that won't make fun of my voice lol If anybody wants to play I'm on xbox and play on London servers my Gamertag is BombasticOG
I found your channel out a few days ago while trying to get back into apex, I just played against you you killed me twice, the second was a 1v3 so I killed the caustic and just teabagged so you could kill me last I saw you were at 10 kills why not give you another anyway gg nice to see the skill in the game used against me
All apex solo comp is one of two things. 1. Hard stuck plat 4 carrying their gold rank friends. 2. Plat players stuck at 4 with no RP to lose so they play carelessly knowing they can’t get demoted to gold 😤
Word, I did what was mentioned in the video and thats how I dropped from Plat I to IV previous split. Because of the insane loss streak I got. Ratting even without KP mitigates your losses a lot. Think of it as instead of just having 0 or + 6 you actually made that ON TOP of the 36 entry cost which adds up in the end. Current split I can see it helps me a lot even if the process is slow.
im playing apex legends for 2 months now i did from bronze 4 to plat 3 in 4 days or something, and now its kinda a super hard to rank up because there are just a bunch of noobs stucking on plat who already gave up to rank up, they play ranked just like a normal game, you can literally feel dat they dont make an effort or something... if you wanna rank up from plat to diamond you have to play and carry for yourself and dont give a fck about your team... sorry to say dat
If anyone here plays on Xbox, drop your gt down below and I’ll text you. I’m on plat IV and is actually very good at landing and knowing what fights to third party. I specialize in mid to long distance fights and escape routes and depending on my legend, it determines my play style.
Ranked system changed, more kills can also be better you can end up 12 kills and end up coming in 10th then you still get max KP. Nonetheless great video 👊🏽🥺
Dude tips for solos I’m tired of u saying join me server discord like dude all the ppl there’s are straight bots that respond btw none of them are even close to average
Bruh i play on most BASIC setup of all the time: TV,PS4,normal controller. And most BASIC settings 3 and 5 with sens and still reaching Master rank solo every season so idk how anyone with good setups cant go to higher rank than plat4. PS: i dont main any legend i just play ranked and try to feel what is good for the map i play on. KDR 4 and AVG 1000. Dont take this as hate but i dont understand why there is someone stuck at plat or dia.
I this supposed to be a flex or a actually "I dont get it" ? Like bru. Play with settings u feel comfortable with and then just learn the game. Its really not about the set up or what so ever. Its about how much u understand the game or put more simply "how good u are". Just keep flexing buddy.
The real problem with solo queue is that most people play ranked from bronze to platinum like it's non ranked. If i don't get jump master there is almost 100% chance its a hot drop. Team gets shit on in seconds then i get the spam ping when i have to 1v3 to 1v12
This is why I got teammates 😎
Even if I have teammates I carry everytime.
You just explained 80% of my solo queue matches in plat
100 percent true
They’ll come from party chat like where were you, oh idk gold four I didn’t want to land with 5 squads like I’m so close to diamond i don’t wanna lose 36 points off rip

Octane, especially if you’re solo q’ing, encourages you to make dumb plays and give up good spots to ape or 3rd party
