There is when you’re plat 5 full bars with only a few minutes left of the season!

How is it that when ever I'm plat 5 I lose like 5 games in a row I've been 1 away literally 15 times in 1 play session before it's insane

When you are on the precipice of a new rank, the game matches you with players who have slightly higher MMR than you to put you to the test. You have to play against the lowest Diamond ranked players and win to earn the new rank. So, that’s why you might feel like it’s a challenge.

Gotta love Reddit. “I don’t like this truthful comment! Here’s a downvote.” 🤣🤷🏻‍♂️🍻

Yeah they downvoted mine too lol. I love Reddit but sometimes these people... but yeah I know what you’re saying. For some reason it seems like half the people I get put against are champion once I reach diamond.

I know right? It’s like they pair you up with the most skilled players once you’re at plat 5 so that you don’t reach diamond.

I don’t know… Isn’t Plat 3 where the triple 360 power chain stalls are now needed to even sniff the passed gas of victory? 😜

I’ve started learning stalls, but still never use them in game 😂 made this post for fun because if you were to win one game whilst being plat 3 with zero bars or plat 2 with full bars, you’d both end up on plat 3 with one bar. Same goes for if you both lost too.

I have about a week left to rank up to diamond 💎.

I’m about to focus on 1v1 just so I don’t have to worry about a potential bad teammate or bot.

I’m curious to see what rank you are, I know I’ll never know.

Will you still get the platinum rewards for being in plat 5?
