Honestly biggest tip for diamond and above, get a dedicated squad, a team you work very well with, use the meta legends, and communicate! Comms are everything, but having a squad makes the biggest difference in the game in general.
Getting a squad is as hard as getting to masters or pred. Most of time you get a team that dosen't comm or push into fights way ahead of his with out backup. This is common in low ranks. People in this elo feel.like they r aceu, timmy or shroud 😂😂😂😂 who can take on a squad alone but what it does is just puts ur team in bad situation.
@@proguidesapex i for some reason found it easier doing it solo than playing with my friends. When season 10 started Most of them were bronze, silver 4. I was silver 2 and climbed through Gold within a week. After my friend reached platinum it all went sideways. So i dropped them all and climbed. Reason is that i play solo is because we do not match playstyles. One Will Always not listen and refuse to play any other legends except for one. Another Will loot all game etc. Edit: also raging and being negative was not something i tolerate in a ranked game. Pubs? No problem, we chilling, we screaming. But not ranked
@@MaropSKi yea same for me I made it diamond solo I was hard stuck plat cause my friends were afraid to engage fights but when we get to a bad one they don’t know how to leave it so I had to drop it alr diamond 2 this split
@ClozedCaskets! I've been dealing with 3rd and 4th parties since the day the game came out. If you can't handle a 3rd party then you suck or your team sucks.just recently I was playing on the new map as crypto and defended against a 3rd party by myself, I had 6 kills off landing and I was still able to revive my teammates. I have a video on my UA-cam page of me taking on 3 separate teams by myself, I lost to the 4th team though.
Exactly! I think arenas is a nice starting place for new players. Wish they had it when I started lol I had to learn by watching my teammates and watching UA-cam videos. But it definitely helps take the stress away of possibly being third partied and learning to strictly deal with a team of 3
@@keshang_laow8325 Not everyone is this good lol I know I'm not xD I'm not the kind of person that likes to get pinched because the more gunshots the more teams will come running, plus people like to snipe and get easy knocks from mid-ranged. I usually approach this by repositioning. I wish I could deal with 3rd and 4th parties this way, but it's tough when a bunch of people are focusing on shooting you rather than each other
Gold is “push that push that push that.” Platinum for me is just 3rd party and stick together. Diamond is stick together and finish fights quick and zone should be the least of your worries.
Bro the best thing is I got my buddy really into Apex and the last two seasons carrying him into Ranked with me were awful but the investments paid off! Now I got a dedicated team member and I used to solo all the way up to diamond just stressing now we are Gold but it so much easier. Get a communicative team member y’all! Biggest help for sure especially since nobody talks in like bronze/silver lol
@@rAshimaru99 yea it’s awful in ranked. I had 251 damage off drop spot in one of my matches today but didn’t down anyone, one teammate was knocked the other killed all 3. I had only a p2020. Stood next to the box waiting for the teammate to loot his kills. And dude just explodes on me and starts screaming. Dude was like 35-40 years old. Just going berserk because he thought I would take his loot. When I am a very respectful of peoples loot kind of person.
Currently diamond 4. Your videos helped me solo q all the way up here. I’m sure watching your future videos will help me get to masters one day. Thank you guys!!
That first tip though I just started playing apex this season, and was bummed they didn’t have like custom game lobbies or something where you can practice on bots, and I thought the range would just be a waste of time or that the skills wouldn’t translate into the actual game play. But I started trying this and saw huge improvements when I did it regularly
i feel like zone is everything in diamond lobby. those that ignore zone rotation often get hardstuck in d4 unless they have aim that can overcome their lack of strategic decision making (I hit solo queue master). This is why pathfinder is such a great legend for solo queueing, and blood hound is often used for many premade squads in order to scan beacons.
Same goes for the Pro league. Since people know how to fight and kill you HAVE to have the best possible position for your teams survival. So Paths, Valks and, Wraith can bail you out
What’s missing here is teamwork. You can make every right decision position but if teammates do not agree or follow through it will most likely mot end well. So you HAVE to communicate with your team. In my experience the pinging system alone was decent enough to get me to masters, but if you have a mic then even better. DO NOT push a enemy’s without everybody’s approval and keep a strong mindset

Plat players hotdrop all the time because most of them dont know hot to actually gain points! :D In all the ranks i had the least fun in platinum tiers 4-1! It is the worst shit ever
I've gone from bronze 3 to gold just following this guide, brilliant. In bronze if your just patient and play for endgame, you will win every game. Silver same thing except endgame will have some intense fire fights and now in gold, Definitely subscribing
My question is this, why is it that people who are in Plat or maybe even in diamond, tend to not really understand the fundamentals of how another team might have to rotate. I played my first match in diamond and I just wanted to slap my forehead. You would think people can at least grasp the basic understanding that if the ring is closing on one end of a tunnel and you run in, if another team want to third party, you're screwed. My teammates wanted to do exactly this...and I refused to follow lol I stayed outside on height, watched, and waited. And sure enough a team tried to trap them inside. I shot a few shots and it sent them running. Of course they didn't go far (and I'm guessing they had mics) because as my teammates came running back to me two of the members from that squad came flying down on our heads from a jump tower and the person I shot at (an Octane) jump pad right on us as well. I can usually tell when a situation can end up badly, but....some people can't....and I find it a bit strange. If I can't find an alternative escape route, I will not usually like to take the route. I've had teammates drop from height for a single kill, only to get stuck down below as ring 3 or 4 is closing in on them with no way of getting away from it. Most people say stick with your teammates...but sometimes they don't make the best choices...I learned this while playing Platinum. And it's literally what helped me get beyond plat 4. My tactic was simple this season. Reach plat as soon as possible to play with Diamond players to examine their playstyle. I did just this and I even had a pred on my team. They spent more time rotating and establishing a good position to hold, third partying, and preparing defensive positions to hold while watching the other teams fight (picking out easy kills). This is when I learned that earning RP does not have to be a struggle and it can be incredibly easy. You just have to be patient and look for opportunities to capitalize on. I love watching people who are good at the game and I'll usually spectate good players to learn from them, just to see what they're doing and figure out why they're doing them.
well said. i took my time to read both comments of yours. and its a good thought. i like to play passive (deal damage from afar before going in to finish the job) thats my playstyle. im currently silver 3, and i'd like to play with you in pubs cos i need someone like u to play with. all these randoms in low elo are something else
Hardstuck diamonds and plat tend to lose the skills that got them there in the first place because the ranked system doesn’t punish you for ruining matches when they have that safety net so they just make really bad decisions.
because the duos refuse if u try to take lead, happens to me everytime i get matched with players of same clan or club, i instantly know they don't give a fk about me so depending on their play style i help them or bail out 3 randoms always better than 1 random and a duo
Oh I'm sure a duo or solo will tell you how stupid you are for not running in sacrificing yourself for them. Had a Valk main give me shit for not helping him recklessly get his 3 kills outside of ring I pinged three times that me and the octane were heading to circle way before then tells me "you didn't ping anything" in the most stoner like voice you can think of. So once we noticed he was done fighting we U-turned and a squad ended up running into me and the octane killing us. This shit is actually almost impossible without a squad. The only way you're climbing diamond is grinding out like 50 games a day ratting for +30 points drives me up the wall
A question about hals boot camp. I work 12+ hours daily (6am-6pm) & it seems it's going to be usually in the mornings to afternoon. I'm at all day so would i even be able to use the service? Obviously he won't be available 24/7 . I'm hard stuck diamond D2 but can't advance any higher without huge time investments or actual team mates (solo) .
Bro listen, Pick a main meta legend like gibby octane wraith etc and dont play wattson or shit. I highly recommend u too to do something on your keybinds/Settings especially on controller but having a good Sens is key and having the confidence learn the weapons (recoils) try to Q with a squad and just play thats what u maked good in every game just grinding
Yeah, getting out of D2 is really insane without a good dedicated squad unless you're already cracked and put in a lot of games. There are just too many other 3 stacks that playing solo with randoms puts you at a crazy disadvantage.
Master 3 times on console and d2 currently on pc making the final push this weekend to master. Lot’s of good tips in this vid for people looking to climb the rank ladder!
I’m platinum 3 as a Watson main and my issue is I am def to aggressive on a champ with no real movement lol I think with these tips I can finally hit diamond this season
Good luck :) You're close! As long as you keep earning Rp or at least limit the amount of times you lose RP (if possible), you'll be fine and you'll get there
@@richbreezy9920 nah he good I’m a Wattson main and I’m aggressive af. He just have to understand Wattson have no mobility and choose his fights wisely and play to her strengths.
im hardstuck in plat and honestly it doesnt feel like whats holding me from diamond is my movementm, but it is because i play solo only. randoms rarely cooperate or have the same gamplay style so find a team that works together is super rare. also, at this bracket and above, most everyone is playing with a squad, so that makes is almost impossible for a mediocre player to win versus that.
Spam trios, soloQ - it's the best way to improve, soon you will be able to solo your way out of plat. - Cooporating with most people in plat will make you lose anyway. - If you feel your movement is good, try to focus on how to turn a 1v3 into a 1v1v1v1, use the terrain and buildings etc. - Trust me a dedicated team before diamond is a time waste, unless you magically improve at the same rate, someone on the squad will carry majority of games, and he will be held back by the rest.
Honestly you arent hardstuck plat cause you play solo, but merely cause you simply arent good enough. Your average plat player is pretty bad and its fairly easy to solo in plat. But what comes to movement IMO people value movement too highly... Aim and proper decision making is way more important than movement. Theres plenty of pros who dont have good movement but yet they do extremely good.
I am at bronce because I didnt play much this season. Server bugs really killed it to long for me. If you could have been champion but your game starts to lag more than ever because of no reason its just frustraiting. But its pretty impressive the moment you realize how much better you became while playing if youre low elo again. I have to say I turn the voicechat off the most times until Im at least gold because I cant take the saltiness in low elo all the time.
Going on the grind is so tough without a good committed team, I made it too Plat 2 in Arenas just solo queuing but haven’t been able to do that in BR. I have friends that enjoy playing the game but to be honest aren’t much help at all. Would really love to get a few solid players to run with and see how high we could get in BR.
I could be for help too if ya want to. I’m a octane main and I’m currently on silver IV. I only play on weekends due to school but I could give a try. What platform do ya play on?
@@kingsquiid4309 if you're UK player i could be part of your squad, i've never really bothered with ranked, but can give it a go! level 500 - Gold rank atm
my goal for this season would definitely be master, but solo q is making it really difficult. im currently almost d3 (7650) but with only 17 days left (spent 3 days just going up and down. Just to give a few tips to people in my situation; no, most solo q teammates you get arent any smarter or better than the ones you get/got in plat, so take the same precautions that you did in platinum. play safely and get good loot before you risk fighting, unless youre really confident that you can get a few kp early game. late game kp for solo q players worth much much more than mid game because theres so much more risk going for kp mid game (third parties, poor positioning, no guaranteed kp scaling etc.) other than that i would also recommend getting used to a specific weapon loadout. of course you arent guaranteed any loot so it will vary regardless but generally i try to get a volt, and for longer ranges i either get triple take, flatline, or r301. it really helps that you are comfortable with your weapons, youll be much more confident and do much better. and just as a side note (this might just be me) i used to be really frustrated if i didnt get an assist or my teammates got all or most of the kp in fights, but it really destroys your mentality. just focus on the game, and be happy that youre alive and if you have any kp at all, be happy about that.
My strong suit is 1v1s I hardly lose them, especially close range. But I often find myself is the situation where I have won my 1v1 but both my teammates lost theirs. Now I’m damaged, trying to thirst and being pushed by 2 dudes. I really don’t know how to handle these situations well. I suppose I should just run but more often than not I get head hunted or 3rd partied. So most games end with me dropping 2 dudes and getting killed by the 3rd.
Solo queued through plat well got to plat 1 and got shit teamates again and again they would solo drop, solo push anything to make the win impossible within the first min of the game they did went from plat 1 to plat 4 in 3 hours
I was 200 RP away from Masters. And it fucks me up that I was so close and didn´t reach it, because I never was this close again. I was diamond 1 and diamond 2 after, but could not reach it again. It just feels like that I can do it but it also feels like that I will never reach it.
I always hit diamond playing solo here in Brazil, cant reach any further, playing on 60hz, and without team. Also, lobby here have a huge problem, platinum and above you will most have 60% chance to have pred in your lobby...
Nah just practice put in the work and stay calm, i basically solo'd to diamond this split, A squad is helpful but choose people who have the same mind set as you or else your going to be losing more than gaining. Dont rat games out that doesnt help you improve try to take early game fight and take it slow mid game, end game all depends on the legend choices and how many squads are left. ALWAYS remember, it doesnt matter how many points you lose 1 win will get those points all back
Man I need a squad. I've been plat every season an diamond twice all randoms. Which sux cuz most the time ur teammates hotdrop die then ping banner over n over. I learned how to finish fights fast but I need to get better choosing my fights.
Literally same bro. I was in diamond the first few seasons solo que but now everyone has a dedicated squad so I'm stuck with potato randoms half the time
Solo queued to Masters playing on the weekends only. Lemme tell you, shit it torture 😂. Best tip I have to improve your skills is to be confident and try and take control of your squad (be the IGL) but when you fuck up you need to recognize why and learn not to. It'll be tough because you'll have plenty of tms who won't have comms or will purposefully not listen to you. Just persevere and keep leading, it's what made me a good IGL imo. 10% win rate and 30% top 5 placement isn't bad I think 🤷🏻♂️
I got to diamond for the first time in season 10 split 1 and then split 2 I didn’t play much because my duo had a very special exam so since he finished now me and him aspire to get to masters next season. For some reason I don’t do well solo queueing but when I queue with him I make him exceed his limit and he makes me exceed my limit.
i just started this game and i was wondering if they gonna introduce those kill counts u see before the game starts but for melee because i love to punch people
I’m almost in diamond 2 and I play the mobile version (not possible on macOS I think). Most of the squads are not good. Can I make the squad better without comms?
Never taken ranked seriously or even played ranked much. Curious to see what rank I can reach. Last time I tried for a few games got gold. Stopped after not being able to have a set squad , commutation etc..
The Silver recommendation is bad. If you're just playing passive and hide, you will not improve and hard stuck at gold. I say try to survive yes, but also join safe fights. Try to be the third party that cleans everything up. This way you might not always be the last team to survive, but you will learn so much more then just from hiding.
My main issue is thinking. I have nades but dont use them. Tactile but don't press Q. My aim is bad to but try to be more aware of what you have and what you can do before you pick fights.
TBH the only thing stopping me from going another league up is the fact i play only with randoms. None of my former friends/community plays Apex; and i havent made new friends in Apex. My club/clan does not plays at the same time i do.
I just get plat both splits then stop cause I constantly see the pred badge on good and bad players making it not worth it and cause it's time spent not skill to rank up. (I also play ranked cause my skill based matchmaking makes pubs unplayable)
I stopped playing around season 2 but now i feel like its a whole new game since its season 11 and im sitting there getting 1 or 2 kills per game, still trying though and gonna keep grinding
You got it bro! I just reavhed plat this morning. The strat I used was landing at a spot with atleast one squad or landing close to hot drop so I can loot and then go towards hot drop fights to pick people off. After that just rotate around to the best position and get to top 5. Easily get to plat.
My advice, if ur team hotdrops leave em, if they wanna fight an unwinnable fight cause of a 3rd party leave em, pick ur fights carefully especially when u reach plat
This was me this season, and I totally believe in you! Ive been playing since late S7 and got serious on improvement S8. Im confident you’ll be able to reach plat!
lvl 60, never really played this game really until recently, started last week running solos and went from bronze to gold 1, then i realized that i needed a consistent team that actually wanted to win the game, and got to plat 4, still have a a couple weeks left and will try for diamond!
And thets the reason why i Stuck in Plat1 while have no chance to win a fight against a full squad when i have to play with randoms with no aim or when they Landing hotdrop like idiot and die first bc 90% of plat players are in plat for Camping and no Team play
Hey loved the video man, could u do a arenas version of this video I'm currently in gold and I stopped playing ranked because when I solo join my team mates don't pull their weight at all and a lot of the time one team mate disconnects from the game. So I would really appreciate it if u gave some advice
I switched from ps4 so i am starting at a defecit already as my stats dont look as they should. Im finishing this season in Gold but would love to get back to Plat like i was on console. Just Solo queue can turn me off the game so quick and i got no friends at my level or that i feel comfortable consistently climbing with
I'm trying to get to plat with my friend since me and him are the best players in our friend group. Currently both of us are in silver and we are putting in time. Any tips for us to improve?
Solo queued my way to Masters in the first half of the split using Caustic (ps4) and no mic. But it honestly seems impossible to get to Pred without a team. With that said, ima shoot for Pred this next half. One of my big problems is I don't have enough time. Probably get in about 1 hour every other day on this game
Hi new to Apex PC (level 73) but I am level 170 on Xbox. Went to play on console and struggling since I don’t have a squad on pc. I can play aggressive or defense
only my second season on apex, well my first full season started mid season 9, this has alot of helpful tips, i managed to get plat 4 in first half of s10 split gonna aim for higher plat now
So your are saying that I need to stop being that r-99 Eva 8 or wingman octane that pushes everyone when I hit 2 headshots with my wingman when I know I won’t get there in time but still think I can take them Also one more thing is that for play rank how are control players going to tap strafe and do advanced movements like I’m not saying it’s impossible but it is probably very difficult
I have never played any other fps games until now Apex. I have played it now for 400 hours and I feel like I start little bit understand it more but still it's so hard. I got this season gold rank and that was my goal so I'm happy about that! Next I want to become platinum. I have practiced a lot with Arena and I have played it now much more than Battle Royal. I think it helps me with getting into fights and movement etc. Also in Arena I'm at Gold rank. Next season my goal is to rank up in both!! 😎Someday I will become Master!!
My question is, what if you're level 500 and have been playing sense season 4 but don't play ranked much. My entire ranked experience I've never gotten higher than gold III and still don't know what I'm doing wrong
I'm not great or anything but if you wish to know record yourself and watch it then ull see your mistakes and note that even if you were a great player there is only so much you can do by yourself which is why u shouldn't stress out. I'm just dropping my opinion is all, cheers
It’s tough. I was hard stuck plat until this split. I had to change strategies for each subdivision. For plat 4, just messed around. Got some rp. plat 3/2, I tried a more drop and get kills then play for placement mentality. When I got plat 1, that’s when the mental game really pushed me. You can do it, play slow and with your team

I need help. I made plat last split in like 3 days and stopped playing it. I’m trying to get to diamond this split but I hit a plateau. I was dropping 10-15 kill 3-4K damage games in silver. Very very easy for me. The only games I weren’t winning with at least max kp were the ones where I was dying off spawn. As soon as I hit gold tho I hit the plateau. Not winning a single fight off spawn, mid game, or late game. I’m hitting a bunch of shots and my movement is decent but I just keep getting shit on in team fights. I’m literally hard stuck bottom of gold.

@@timmysfittness903 if you are doing everything well then you should be getting to diamond let alone struggling to get to plat. There is obviously something wrong, either lacking mechanics or game awareness. What I noticed while climbing out of gold was that players are too eager and greedy to fight, then they die because the avg gold player has much better mechanics than silver or bronze. Also gold players lacks game awareness meaning they do not know when and where to rotate or when to take fights and especially when to run. If you can take advantage of these weaknesses you can get out of gold pretty easily.

@@kasperjger2216 and thats the problem, the whole of season 10 i was stuck in gold just because i wanted to play the game and not camp. This season im ratting it out just to escape this gold hellhole and get to plat and try to fight with honour 😂
I don't play ranked but I'm good at the game so I think if I were to play in bronze I would drop 20 and 4k damage cuz imma push literally everyone
@@froopnoops4505 ranked isn't pubs. Its a different game unless you're a god. I'm gonna guess that most people don't have a 5kd and solo trios regularly. If that's you then slay out. If not, play smart and look for opportunities. They will come
Took a long break after season 3 came back in 9 and got plat while Grinding for it. 10 on the edge of plat again, played 50% less but the tips will help!
Plat players hotdrop all the time because most of them dont know hot to actually gain points! :D In all the ranks i had the least fun in platinum tiers 4-1! It is the worst shit ever
I just got 3k and 10 kills on octane! Hope you guys do good in your next games
Is that supposed to be impressive?
@@Pepechu Lmao
@@Pepechu calm down mr im way better than you at the game. He is just tryna be positive so relax jerry
@@Pepechu damn lmao you must be bad at the game
@@CompactYT maybe he's insecure after throwing his last game in silver lol
I've gone from bronze 3 to gold just following this guide, brilliant.
In bronze if your just patient and play for endgame, you will win every game.
Silver same thing except endgame will have some intense fire fights and now in gold,
Definitely subscribing
Aiming for masters this split, highest rank has been diamond 4, I am just gonna grind and learn everything I can
This tip is great! Last time I watched this I was gold then after watching this I had my own game movements and now I am a master! ( THANK YOU!! )
My question is this, why is it that people who are in Plat or maybe even in diamond, tend to not really understand the fundamentals of how another team might have to rotate. I played my first match in diamond and I just wanted to slap my forehead. You would think people can at least grasp the basic understanding that if the ring is closing on one end of a tunnel and you run in, if another team want to third party, you're screwed. My teammates wanted to do exactly this...and I refused to follow lol I stayed outside on height, watched, and waited. And sure enough a team tried to trap them inside. I shot a few shots and it sent them running. Of course they didn't go far (and I'm guessing they had mics) because as my teammates came running back to me two of the members from that squad came flying down on our heads from a jump tower and the person I shot at (an Octane) jump pad right on us as well. I can usually tell when a situation can end up badly, but....some people can't....and I find it a bit strange. If I can't find an alternative escape route, I will not usually like to take the route. I've had teammates drop from height for a single kill, only to get stuck down below as ring 3 or 4 is closing in on them with no way of getting away from it. Most people say stick with your teammates...but sometimes they don't make the best choices...I learned this while playing Platinum. And it's literally what helped me get beyond plat 4.
My tactic was simple this season. Reach plat as soon as possible to play with Diamond players to examine their playstyle. I did just this and I even had a pred on my team. They spent more time rotating and establishing a good position to hold, third partying, and preparing defensive positions to hold while watching the other teams fight (picking out easy kills). This is when I learned that earning RP does not have to be a struggle and it can be incredibly easy. You just have to be patient and look for opportunities to capitalize on. I love watching people who are good at the game and I'll usually spectate good players to learn from them, just to see what they're doing and figure out why they're doing them.
well said. i took my time to read both comments of yours. and its a good thought. i like to play passive (deal damage from afar before going in to finish the job) thats my playstyle. im currently silver 3, and i'd like to play with you in pubs cos i need someone like u to play with. all these randoms in low elo are something else
Hardstuck diamonds and plat tend to lose the skills that got them there in the first place because the ranked system doesn’t punish you for ruining matches when they have that safety net so they just make really bad decisions.
because the duos refuse if u try to take lead, happens to me everytime i get matched with players of same clan or club, i instantly know they don't give a fk about me so depending on their play style i help them or bail out 3 randoms always better than 1 random and a duo
Because people is plain d*mb.
They only think in the inmediate chance of a kill, not in the whole picture of winning the match
Oh I'm sure a duo or solo will tell you how stupid you are for not running in sacrificing yourself for them. Had a Valk main give me shit for not helping him recklessly get his 3 kills outside of ring I pinged three times that me and the octane were heading to circle way before then tells me "you didn't ping anything" in the most stoner like voice you can think of. So once we noticed he was done fighting we U-turned and a squad ended up running into me and the octane killing us. This shit is actually almost impossible without a squad. The only way you're climbing diamond is grinding out like 50 games a day ratting for +30 points drives me up the wall
A question about hals boot camp. I work 12+ hours daily (6am-6pm) & it seems it's going to be usually in the mornings to afternoon. I'm at all day so would i even be able to use the service? Obviously he won't be available 24/7 .
I'm hard stuck diamond D2 but can't advance any higher without huge time investments or actual team mates (solo) .
theyre online courses from what i heard so at your own pace
Bro listen, Pick a main meta legend like gibby octane wraith etc and dont play wattson or shit. I highly recommend u too to do something on your keybinds/Settings especially on controller but having a good Sens is key and having the confidence learn the weapons (recoils) try to Q with a squad and just play thats what u maked good in every game just grinding
am diamond 3 i need teamates
Yeah, getting out of D2 is really insane without a good dedicated squad unless you're already cracked and put in a lot of games. There are just too many other 3 stacks that playing solo with randoms puts you at a crazy disadvantage.
Master 3 times on console and d2 currently on pc making the final push this weekend to master. Lot’s of good tips in this vid for people looking to climb the rank ladder!
I’m platinum 3 as a Watson main and my issue is I am def to aggressive on a champ with no real movement lol I think with these tips I can finally hit diamond this season
Good luck :) You're close! As long as you keep earning Rp or at least limit the amount of times you lose RP (if possible), you'll be fine and you'll get there
Should change legends if your playstyle doesnt fit defensive style legends.
@@richbreezy9920 nah he good I’m a Wattson main and I’m aggressive af. He just have to understand Wattson have no mobility and choose his fights wisely and play to her strengths.
The "pick an uncontested POI" bit went right out of the window this season. Every drop, every POI seems contested.
Find a niche as fuck drop. Like I mean no name on the map it will help trust
im hardstuck in plat and honestly it doesnt feel like whats holding me from diamond is my movementm, but it is because i play solo only. randoms rarely cooperate or have the same gamplay style so find a team that works together is super rare. also, at this bracket and above, most everyone is playing with a squad, so that makes is almost impossible for a mediocre player to win versus that.
Spam trios, soloQ - it's the best way to improve, soon you will be able to solo your way out of plat. - Cooporating with most people in plat will make you lose anyway. - If you feel your movement is good, try to focus on how to turn a 1v3 into a 1v1v1v1, use the terrain and buildings etc. - Trust me a dedicated team before diamond is a time waste, unless you magically improve at the same rate, someone on the squad will carry majority of games, and he will be held back by the rest.
Honestly you arent hardstuck plat cause you play solo, but merely cause you simply arent good enough. Your average plat player is pretty bad and its fairly easy to solo in plat. But what comes to movement IMO people value movement too highly... Aim and proper decision making is way more important than movement. Theres plenty of pros who dont have good movement but yet they do extremely good.
I hit plat 3 and 4 every split and get stuck there this was pretty helpful
There's a lot of insight here, definitely taking away some great tips! Let's see how far our squad can go!
I am at bronce because I didnt play much this season. Server bugs really killed it to long for me. If you could have been champion but your game starts to lag more than ever because of no reason its just frustraiting. But its pretty impressive the moment you realize how much better you became while playing if youre low elo again. I have to say I turn the voicechat off the most times until Im at least gold because I cant take the saltiness in low elo all the time.
Going on the grind is so tough without a good committed team, I made it too Plat 2 in Arenas just solo queuing but haven’t been able to do that in BR. I have friends that enjoy playing the game but to be honest aren’t much help at all. Would really love to get a few solid players to run with and see how high we could get in BR.
Im up for it... Im a lvl 500 Path main and Im hardstuck plat 4, Im currently silver 1 This split
I could be for help too if ya want to. I’m a octane main and I’m currently on silver IV. I only play on weekends due to school but I could give a try. What platform do ya play on?
@@rar3yyy I’m on PS4 I main octane as well. but also love to pay Bloodhound.
@@kingsquiid4309 if you're UK player i could be part of your squad, i've never really bothered with ranked, but can give it a go! level 500 - Gold rank atm
Been stuck in plat multiple seasons. Highest I ever reached was plat II. I dream of hitting diamond one day😭
Been in diamond a few times. Its insanely hard with randoms. You need a squad with mics and brains
Brooooo I swear 😭 that shit low-key hurts
Solo que is rough
Gain 166 rp one game, get 4 back to back idiot jump masters to throw it away. Super frustrating
@@FiddleStickkss Felt this on a spiritual level
my goal for this season would definitely be master, but solo q is making it really difficult. im currently almost d3 (7650) but with only 17 days left (spent 3 days just going up and down.
Just to give a few tips to people in my situation; no, most solo q teammates you get arent any smarter or better than the ones you get/got in plat, so take the same precautions that you did in platinum. play safely and get good loot before you risk fighting, unless youre really confident that you can get a few kp early game. late game kp for solo q players worth much much more than mid game because theres so much more risk going for kp mid game (third parties, poor positioning, no guaranteed kp scaling etc.) other than that i would also recommend getting used to a specific weapon loadout. of course you arent guaranteed any loot so it will vary regardless but generally i try to get a volt, and for longer ranges i either get triple take, flatline, or r301. it really helps that you are comfortable with your weapons, youll be much more confident and do much better.
and just as a side note (this might just be me) i used to be really frustrated if i didnt get an assist or my teammates got all or most of the kp in fights, but it really destroys your mentality. just focus on the game, and be happy that youre alive and if you have any kp at all, be happy about that.
Yes sir. after every ranked game I think to myself on things that should have gone differently. Very good to reflect and learn from mistakes.
My strong suit is 1v1s I hardly lose them, especially close range. But I often find myself is the situation where I have won my 1v1 but both my teammates lost theirs. Now I’m damaged, trying to thirst and being pushed by 2 dudes. I really don’t know how to handle these situations well. I suppose I should just run but more often than not I get head hunted or 3rd partied. So most games end with me dropping 2 dudes and getting killed by the 3rd.
play valk/octane - run and profit from kp.
Jus got the game this season and already in gold😁👍🏾
It is not that difficult, dude
@@rexcolt9742 ong
I been stuck at D4 for almost 2 weeks now. It’s really hard solo queues since I don’t have a squad :/
I feel ya
Just hit MASTERS! LETS GO!!!!💪🏽😈🔥
Get a squad once you’re in Platinum. You can solo queue up until this point. It’ll make the game more enjoyable.
Solo queued through plat well got to plat 1 and got shit teamates again and again they would solo drop, solo push anything to make the win impossible within the first min of the game they did went from plat 1 to plat 4 in 3 hours
You can solo plat until plat 2 that’s where it got really difficult and you need a solid squad
@@michaelarmendariz6705 without a doubt
@@bigbyrne7544 it happens fam. Keep pushing.
I solo qued from plat 2 to diamond in 3h, maybe just luck with the randoms but it´s possible
If you reach to diamond but you lost some matches and your back to platinium do you still get the diamond banner?
Thank you so much for the advice I went into firing range and made plays and learned the game and I won the next game
i started around season 2-3, took a year break, played for a could mon, took a break, now i’m back and more bronze than ever.
Wish everyone would listen to you bro hell of some insight
I was 200 RP away from Masters. And it fucks me up that I was so close and didn´t reach it, because I never was this close again. I was diamond 1 and diamond 2 after, but could not reach it again. It just feels like that I can do it but it also feels like that I will never reach it.
im currently in gold 4 and im hoping that the gold tips will help thank you!
I always hit diamond playing solo here in Brazil, cant reach any further, playing on 60hz, and without team. Also, lobby here have a huge problem, platinum and above you will most have 60% chance to have pred in your lobby...
i got to gold 3 last split im looking to get to platinum this split. almost silver 1. 32 days remaining stuff is looking good
This is my first season playing ranked seriously and I made it to Plat solo. I find that without a dedicated team I'm going to be perma stuck in plat.
same here
Nah just practice put in the work and stay calm, i basically solo'd to diamond this split, A squad is helpful but choose people who have the same mind set as you or else your going to be losing more than gaining. Dont rat games out that doesnt help you improve try to take early game fight and take it slow mid game, end game all depends on the legend choices and how many squads are left. ALWAYS remember, it doesnt matter how many points you lose 1 win will get those points all back
Man I need a squad. I've been plat every season an diamond twice all randoms. Which sux cuz most the time ur teammates hotdrop die then ping banner over n over. I learned how to finish fights fast but I need to get better choosing my fights.
Same here, been in diamond a few times but solo que is insanely stressful with randoms. Stuck in plat 3 right now
played apex for 3 years and never played ranked..
thanks for the tips i will use em when i get on immediately
love u
Hi huge fan because I’m a beginner of apex so this is helpful
Guys how long does it take for you to match in rank when I play rank only one player is in q
Thank you YT for this on my recommendation .. need this for my game good input
I wanna get to platinum I’ve never played ranked but I’m thinking of starting
Platinum here and I need a squad....I plateau at Platinum III EVERY.SINGLE.SEASON. Granted I solo queue always.
Literally same bro. I was in diamond the first few seasons solo que but now everyone has a dedicated squad so I'm stuck with potato randoms half the time
5 months later. Finally got Diamond. Jesus.
Currently stuck in p4-g1 seems like every plat squad i get just try to yolo everything or just sit in a bush all game
Solo queued to Masters playing on the weekends only. Lemme tell you, shit it torture 😂. Best tip I have to improve your skills is to be confident and try and take control of your squad (be the IGL) but when you fuck up you need to recognize why and learn not to. It'll be tough because you'll have plenty of tms who won't have comms or will purposefully not listen to you. Just persevere and keep leading, it's what made me a good IGL imo. 10% win rate and 30% top 5 placement isn't bad I think 🤷🏻♂️
I got to diamond for the first time in season 10 split 1 and then split 2 I didn’t play much because my duo had a very special exam so since he finished now me and him aspire to get to masters next season. For some reason I don’t do well solo queueing but when I queue with him I make him exceed his limit and he makes me exceed my limit.
Also I started playing ranked in season 9 where split 1 I got to gold and split 2 plat
i just started this game and i was wondering if they gonna introduce those kill counts u see before the game starts but for melee because i love to punch people
I always solo to diamond 4 to diamond 3 but I need opinions on who to pick, would you rather have a valk or a path on your squad?
Valk cause her ult can get out of most sticky situations and path feels underwhleming tbh
I’m almost in diamond 2 and I play the mobile version (not possible on macOS I think). Most of the squads are not good. Can I make the squad better without comms?
Never taken ranked seriously or even played ranked much. Curious to see what rank I can reach. Last time I tried for a few games got gold. Stopped after not being able to have a set squad , commutation etc..
The Silver recommendation is bad. If you're just playing passive and hide, you will not improve and hard stuck at gold. I say try to survive yes, but also join safe fights. Try to be the third party that cleans everything up. This way you might not always be the last team to survive, but you will learn so much more then just from hiding.
My main issue is thinking. I have nades but dont use them. Tactile but don't press Q. My aim is bad to but try to be more aware of what you have and what you can do before you pick fights.
TBH the only thing stopping me from going another league up is the fact i play only with randoms.
None of my former friends/community plays Apex; and i havent made new friends in Apex.
My club/clan does not plays at the same time i do.
What platform do u play on? We could play.

I stopped playing around season 2 but now i feel like its a whole new game since its season 11 and im sitting there getting 1 or 2 kills per game, still trying though and gonna keep grinding
Just saw the vid in season 12 thanks man you made my day.
I am playing since ssn 0 and i am on masters on 170ping which is a huge deal for me
That's really impressive! High ping is tough
i've been playing since season 8. made silver that season, gold season 9, i'm currently gold trying to make plat.
You got it bro! I just reavhed plat this morning. The strat I used was landing at a spot with atleast one squad or landing close to hot drop so I can loot and then go towards hot drop fights to pick people off. After that just rotate around to the best position and get to top 5. Easily get to plat.
My advice, if ur team hotdrops leave em, if they wanna fight an unwinnable fight cause of a 3rd party leave em, pick ur fights carefully especially when u reach plat
i started since season 8 too and i got to platinum on it
That’s sad, you must just have really shit genetics. F
This was me this season, and I totally believe in you! Ive been playing since late S7 and got serious on improvement S8. Im confident you’ll be able to reach plat!
lvl 60, never really played this game really until recently, started last week running solos and went from bronze to gold 1, then i realized that i needed a consistent team that actually wanted to win the game, and got to plat 4, still have a a couple weeks left and will try for diamond!
And thets the reason why i Stuck in Plat1 while have no chance to win a fight against a full squad when i have to play with randoms with no aim or when they Landing hotdrop like idiot and die first bc 90% of plat players are in plat for Camping and no Team play

So I would really appreciate it if u gave some advice
Anyone know any videos that are Playstation specific it terms of tips? For recoil and movement?
I switched from ps4 so i am starting at a defecit already as my stats dont look as they should. Im finishing this season in Gold but would love to get back to Plat like i was on console. Just Solo queue can turn me off the game so quick and i got no friends at my level or that i feel comfortable consistently climbing with
is this applicable for solo platinum? i wanna get dia this season.
Can you guys make a guid for solo ranked players

With your voice you should be a VJ or DJ. Amazing oration man, gonna subscribe 🙌🏾👏🏾
Solo queued my way to Masters in the first half of the split using Caustic (ps4) and no mic. But it honestly seems impossible to get to Pred without a team.
With that said, ima shoot for Pred this next half. One of my big problems is I don't have enough time. Probably get in about 1 hour every other day on this game

Lmfao says "you should be able to easily one clip a dummy with every weapon" then he does it only once in all the examples in the video.🤣🤣
Anyone know the ost used specifically for platinum and diamond
only my second season on apex, well my first full season started mid season 9, this has alot of helpful tips, i managed to get plat 4 in first half of s10 split gonna aim for higher plat now
So your are saying that I need to stop being that r-99 Eva 8 or wingman octane that pushes everyone when I hit 2 headshots with my wingman when I know I won’t get there in time but still think I can take them
Also one more thing is that for play rank how are control players going to tap strafe and do advanced movements like I’m not saying it’s impossible but it is probably very difficult
i dont rly have a squad and my highest rank was plat 4 but I may head for diamond this split cause im at bronze now
If you reatch to diamond but you lost some matches and your back to platinium do you still get the diamond banner?
The platnuim tip helped me alot but its hard for me to take advantage of people who snipe with bocek, sentinel and the charge rifle

I have never played any other fps games until now Apex. I have played it now for 400 hours and I feel like I start little bit understand it more but still it's so hard.

My question is, what if you're level 500 and have been playing sense season 4 but don't play ranked much. My entire ranked experience I've never gotten higher than gold III and still don't know what I'm doing wrong
Im EXACTLY like that! Season 4 player, lvl 500, and Im hardstuck plat 4
I'm not great or anything but if you wish to know record yourself and watch it then ull see your mistakes and note that even if you were a great player there is only so much you can do by yourself which is why u shouldn't stress out. I'm just dropping my opinion is all, cheers
This kinda help me out thanks for the tips
thank you, i am stuck in plat and try to get into dia 4
It’s tough. I was hard stuck plat until this split. I had to change strategies for each subdivision. For plat 4, just messed around. Got some rp. plat 3/2, I tried a more drop and get kills then play for placement mentality. When I got plat 1, that’s when the mental game really pushed me. You can do it, play slow and with your team
It's good if you have a set squad you play with for ranked I'm still looking as well played with randoms and got to diamond but I'm stuck there
Ive been trying to get my aim better for way too long now . Can't seem to stay hitting my target for anything . Tried slowing down the movement speed and still having a really hard time .

I need help. I made plat last split in like 3 days and stopped playing it. I’m trying to get to diamond this split but I hit a plateau. I was dropping 10-15 kill 3-4K damage games in silver.

Not winning a single fight off spawn, mid game, or late game. I’m hitting a bunch of shots and my movement is decent but I just keep getting shit on in team fights.

Stop hot dropping and learn to aim and rotate when needed. Stop being overly aggressive and die early.
@@thekillfreaks I don't hot drop and I know how to rotate.
@@timmysfittness903 if you are doing everything well then you should be getting to diamond let alone struggling to get to plat. There is obviously something wrong, either lacking mechanics or game awareness. What I noticed while climbing out of gold was that players are too eager and greedy to fight, then they die because the avg gold player has much better mechanics than silver or bronze. Also gold players lacks game awareness meaning they do not know when and where to rotate or when to take fights and especially when to run. If you can take advantage of these weaknesses you can get out of gold pretty easily.
For bronze-gold I would say that they need to do the dummy glitch where they can move around so they are able to practice recoil
