Viewers of this comment: When me and my friends hop on ranked we hot drop at the east streamer building and take as many fights as possible. We almost never run any team comp whatsoever and we don’t take ranked too seriously, but we still try. We end up getting diamond every time, but we don’t play much after or go for masters. These team comps and strategies are all great and really helpful, but in the end whatever works for you works for you so don’t be afraid to try new things. Generally, hot dropping east isn’t the best idea, but we get better from it and we come out alive a lot and it works for me and my team and it’s alot of fun in the process.
Another really good team combination could be gibby, valk, and either rampart or caustic, this is a good team because you get safe rotations from valk and gibbys bubble for protection, and I like caustic better as he locks down a place in end zone.
Hey it’s my first season playing consistent ranked( because I now have a friend to do it with because solo queue is never fun for me) and we made it to plat:D
Tips 1: Play with a squad of friends, rather than solo grinding Because, let's be honest, teamwork like @4:29 would probably not happen with random teammates. One would probably help, but the other one would probably be looting a death box, or hiding in a building or even die the minute someone looks at them. And I also agree on the landing. Solo (literally dropping alone without a team, to test this....I know I shouldn't do this in ranked, but I was testing it out to see) if I landed some ways away from 2 teams and they start fighting, I can walk away with at least 2 or 3 kills at the very start of the game. I've actually had this happen and then would avoid all other fights until I made it back to my teammates (if they didn't die), or if they DID died, I wouldn't try to engage until there were about 3 or 4 teams left (3 if I'm lucky). I also don't think many people are aware that if they crack someone, and they are close to dying, if they're teammate finishes off the cracked enemy, they both receive RP for a kill and assist. Some people are afraid to follow up on an enemy that is cracked and will just let them run off (or if an enemy starts reviving). I've had this happen countless time when I'm one shot and my teammates will just stand back aiming in that direction. Please stop playing so passively if you're playing with strangers. Some people may be soloing just like me and want to not waste a game and lose RP lol Thanks!
i don't know if it's just my matchmaking or the lobbies being so sweaty and it's full of smurfs- like guys chill it's plat4 we're not in pred lobby or something
Really happy to see space mom back in the meta.tnx for the guide Ashton.i am probably gonna solo q untill plat then i am gonna play with my friends bcz all of them are diamond.❤🔥
I have a mental block when it comes to “rotations”. In its simplest form are you simply rotating in, staying close to the edge of the zone? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I have been playin for ab a week so my advice my not be the best but, from what I’ve seen is the middle of zone is shit Bc u are an easy target for third parties. Rotate into zone and stay on the outer part. Also you can chill in the zone until the third zone starts because u won’t be taking a whole lot a damage. Hope this helps
I feel that hurt, I learnt to just dip out of fights if team mates go down in 5 seconds. Playing solo you need to preserve your own RP first. If your team mates are decent roll with them if they inspire confidence in you.
Agreed. I don’t understand what’s with the extreme thirst in plat or higher lobbies. Ranked matches caps your KP to a max of 6. If you finished off a squad, I think it’s best to rat out for most of the match until the last 3 squads and 3rd party when the 2 squads are fighting. I can almost assure you that you’d get the max kp and most rp out of it. That’s the struggle of solo queueing I guess.
The amount of -48’s I’ve gotten chasing “early kp” speaks for itself. Just get placement even if you have 0 kp and then charge rifle / scout for kp in final zone. Fighting at beginning can be really really really really dumb.
Hear me out. Lifeline ultimate needs a huge rework and is about to be the worst in the game. With the changes to rampart likely creating a good enough buff to Sheila and lobas ultimate being the ultimate care package, lifeline doesn’t bring shit to the table loot wise nor should since she is more specifically a medic. Her package is kind of just for her at the start and the ultimate cooldown is atrocious. Lifeline needs to compete more with Gibraltar at the high level and the care package doesn’t provide anything at the high level. On top of that Gibraltar is better at revives. My solution is to give her the ultimate gibby bubble as her ultimate. This solves the complaints about a res shield gone and makes her meta and compete directly with Gibraltar in a way seer competes directly with bloodhound. The lifeline bubble will give her safer revive opportunities and have a healing factor when inside it like her drone to outdo the gibby tactical. I don’t think this would be broken, considering it is an ultimate and will require a longer cooldown, but it would certainly put lifeline back on top. A part of the way it could work is have her tactical disappear for the time being and that robot becomes the healing bubble when used. Spread the word people. Lifeline rework. Ultimate gibby bubble.
I play ranked solo i don't have teammates to play with what advice can you give me i'm in gold right now and i can't decide what legend to chose for solo ranked i was thinking of horizon
you want a cool meta for your game ? take horizon/octane+Fuze/revenant/bangalore + Rampart/loba/lifline/pathfinder . use your ultimate only once you’ve take a move on a pad , or horizon’s tactical , honestly when you know how to play Fuze and shoot correctly your ultimate . it’s a really dangerous combo
Only time you should be paying attention to trails is in pubs if you pay attention to trails in ranked it will kinda throw you off like OMG there’s predators in our game then every time you come in contact with a team you’ll be like it’s probably the pred team but it’s just some other random octane with the same skin
I have 7 mains all of them I’m broken with and I have mastered they are Seer Wraith Bloodhound Octane Valkyrie Horizon Wattson And I’m learning to play mirage right now
Kept solo queuing and barely getting rp but i ran into someone good me and him combine for 3k damage 8 kills a match pretty much so me and him just play together now
im going for diamond this season, i started grinding the game in season 9 so im dont think im ready to go for masters or pred, but i got to plat last season so maybe i can move up a step?
I'm not sure if this is what you meant by disgusting, but golly! People are extremely rude man! Like.. all I want to do is play a few games for fun. We all got a lot going on and a lot on our minds each day.. the last thing people need are jerks being jerks. And it seems like it's only getting worse each time a new season comes out. It's just insane, it makes me not want to play because of so many rude, toxic people on there for no reason =(
You told me it was gonna go up in 1-2 days :(( Took 3. Mainly dropping one for the algorithm. //xWhesp, ur recently hit master wannabe good at normal ranked player.
I feel like caustics rp farming potential is super underrated, anyone walks into your trap even for a second that’s an assist for you. Make the most of it before they give him the bloodhound treatment because I think that’s something they’re looking into, making ability’s not count for the assist.

Thanks for these vids, game is super sweaty at this point and pretty hard to rank up

Yea like u take a fight and get a 100 headshot by a gibby across the map with a longbow mid fight and die becausw of it

I assume its rotating to key areas, take caustic for example, id rotate to market asap after looking caustic as its a very competitive area

Hear me out. Lifeline ultimate needs a huge rework and is about to be the worst in the game.

Havoc is also underrated
Gr8 vid mane
Yeah i was maining seer in solo rank then the well needed Nerf came along and now im kinda unsure who to play
Gibi, you can't go wrong with gibi
Play bloodhound bro
The only guide I will listen 2 💯
Yes my boy Ashton
Personally I normally go with volt and longbow
I’m on Console I go 301/prowler or G7/prowler
Only time you should be paying attention to trails is in pubs if you pay attention to trails in ranked it will kinda throw you off like OMG there’s predators in our game then every time you come in contact with a team you’ll be like it’s probably the pred team but it’s just some other random octane with the same skin
My favorite guns are flatline with 2/4x and charge rifle
Any tips for me? I’m d4 caustic main and normally use flatline+ eva8 and wanna try to get masters this split
In my opinion I would switch the flatline for 301
@@keruptuchiha6477 301 for range, flatline for CQC - my personal favourite
I have 7 mains all of them I’m broken with and I have mastered they are
Seer
Wraith
Bloodhound
Octane

Wattson
And I’m learning to play mirage right now
Learn bangalore, so easy and fun
Kept solo queuing and barely getting rp but i ran into someone good me and him combine for 3k damage 8 kills a match pretty much so me and him just play together now
I pressed the notification so hard my screen almost broke
Nice guide. Have you ever tried to rank up solo? Sure would like a guide on some tips and strats for solo rank grind.
Started 3 days ago. Plat Rn with 25 wins. Is that good? Idk because new to apex.
Im so so using this amazing glitch ahah
The re-45 is very solid with the eva-8 if you're playing wraith or octane. This is my go to loadout for close range
I agree! My main is Lifeline and I love to use those 2 combos! 😆
thank u
Can you do one for arenas
I havd subtitles on and when he says seer it is sie or see her
Please make a arena rank guide
the only thing that is scary about caustic is his ult and if you run in a lot of traps at the same time
im going for diamond this season, i started grinding the game in season 9 so im dont think im ready to go for masters or pred, but i got to plat last season so maybe i can move up a step?
Yea sure. I was ps4 Player and in my 2. season on mnk I got easily to diamond.
If u have the time go for it :)
Why no flatline? Thought it was top tier after R3
Notification gang like it up
Thanks im good 1 so far
G7 with 3x or 2x4/Flatline 1-2x is my meta this season
Mine is Rampage, usually iron sights, and re45
I need a reliable squad tho 😔
The old lady at the start got them moves LoL!!!
Hey Ashton question would you say valk is viable diamond or higher?
Valk is A+/S-, best rotation in the game
Nice Video
You know it’s a good day when Ashton uploads
little does he know that ASH is the next legend in apex
this is honestly one of the more balanced metas this season, especially after the seer nerf.
always waiting for these videos when the new season comes out
Bro where the flatline on the list it’s so good
This is my. Meta horizon fuse and gibby
Me as a Bloodhound main just soloing lobbies getting 10+ ranked kills and winning. Scan OP, G7 OP, Flatline hipfire OP.
So g7 and flatline? Bet
I like the rampage with the volt and sometimes the lstar if I can’t find a volt
Rampage Volt is goated
God loves you❤️❤️♥️♥️

Nice to see a youtube actually not hit with every bullet. A bit of the human element is few and far between on youtube
The real secret people is have a good TEAM or you’ll lose everytime that’s it
Seer got nerfed HARD. Thank god. Havent seen a single seer in my lobbies because hes trash now. Feels good
Hes still overly used in master lobbies atm
They gave seer the horizon treatment. NERF him three times in a row 🤦😒
Seer is pretty much dogshit now always go bloodhound
he is still very strong, they didnt change his ult at all only increased the cooldown time
