You're probably a better player than you think you are?
The questions that would determine this... how often do you play? What platform are you on?
Isn't that a known bug where it doesn't show actual rank so defaults to Bronze.
I play a lot, on PS4. But yeah, I think Diamond is my true rank, I don't see myself get to Master and even less Apex Predator.
Yeah, I'm in Finland and they've been down for a while now.
My friend and I have a theory that since the new season launched high tier loot has been bugged for some areas. We knew one of the fragments was high tier so we landed Outlook to avoid the craziness of high tier. We had came across 4 gold items there. We decided to rotate into the fragment nearest us which was high loot, and we finished the last squad there only to find a handful of purple items.
How is it that on PC there's so many players who can just hit every single shot with a wingman without missing one, over and over and over and over? Like there can't be that many players out there who are just that fucking good that apprently half of every bloody server has these people. Like you see someone and hear the wingman and it's so predictable when it's like:
BANG oh they hit me
BANG oh they hit me
BANG oh they hit me and I'm dead
BANG oh my teammates dead to the same guy
Match after match. I know part of it is the garbage matchmaking always putting me with enemies significantly above my skill because I get a couple of kills and therefore must be as good as a predator, but there's these people everywhere who hit more shots than the average top tier twitch streamer and its suspicious as fuck every time.

Nice skins! Looking forward to this and trying out the eco shield!
Hard to tell, the hand that was holding it is not wearing the same skin Bangalore had on in the clip. I am going back through to see if I see it
Whoa, huge change!
It's Octane's heirloom. But...
We're changing up the Heirloom system to make it easier for you to acquire the heirloom you want. Instead of an entire Heirloom set dropping at once, you'll now receive Heirloom shards. You can then use those shards to pick the exact Heirloom set you'd like. The shards will have the same drop rate as the previous system, so that after 500 Apex Packs, you will have enough Heirloom Shards to obtain an Heirloom set from the Heirloom shop. And don't worry, your existing progress towards the 500 Apex Packs will carry over with the switch. Remember that once a player owns all of the Heirloom sets, the player will not be eligible to receive more shards until more Heirloom Sets are added to the game.
An Arcade queue would do wonders, Solo and Duos can be part of that rotation.
Edit: Also appreciate that Heirloom change.

This seriously feels ideal. Arcade queue that constantly rotates like OW. Your quickplay for 3s. Then ranked. Three playlists. Permanently.
The free legendaries for the PK and the Wingman are pretty snazzy. Shame that I've already got good skins for both but more never hurt I suppose.Whoa, huge change!

I'm hoping that the event skins don't cost 2400 crafting materials again like they did for the Halloween event, I could see 1600 MAYBE, but double a regular legendary is ridiculous.
Exactly. So when events happen, the Arcade queue is taken by that. Still only has three playlists, boom, done.

By their wording it sounds like we'll need multiple drops of heirloom shards instead of just one, and by 500 packs, you'll have enough shards to unlock 1 set. I wonder if they'll be 2 or 3 sets of shards required, or if it will be like crafting mats, coming in increments of 15.
That dynamic body shield is a really cool idea. Interested to see how it plays out.
Also very interested in seeing this fixed loot mode. Could either end up really good or really bad. Hot drops will be consistently hot. My hope is that they place loot very strategically so that there are no dumb spawns like a gold armour next to a R99 and extended mag.
Apex gameplay is what keeps me in but the RNG definitely plays part in the enjoyment for better and for worse. I'm not sure how BR will play with fixed loot. That being said, if any current BR could work with fixed loot, I think it's Apex.

It would definitely get me back into playing this consistently.
I don't think so. Doing in that way would mean you could ONLY get an Heirloom every 500 packs, when you can get one way sooner through RNG.
It's probably just a single 'Heirloom Shard' that functions like a key to let you choose which set you get.
Lol, you know it's going to be the same. Been saying this system is wack. I hate the Collection Events formula.
Also PSA: You don't own any character in this game. If someone gets first dibs at Pathfinder and selects him, you have absolutely no reason to get in your feelings because you wanted him. No matter if that person is a level 1 noob or a level 500 expert.
You ain't wrong. I just like to hope sometimes. :(
"Don't Believe Hammond"
Sounds like Revenant is still holding a grudge.
It's so weird that the description in the youtube video says:
They're obviously not letting us unlock that stuff by playing.

Don't love the idea of fixed loot personally and character skins look pretty lame. The new shield sounds great though, and I'm excited to unlock those Legendary weapon skins.
Fixed Loot and circle is interesting but I'm glad it's just a MotD type thing.
Oh wait, you won't get event crates through playing/XP? you have to buy the crates?
I feel like I'll get stomped perpetually by people who know where the good shit is.
Although it does sound interesting to kind of "perfect a route" by finding good spots. It's like speed running except the random spawns are other players trying to kill you.
You could unlock two in the first collection event, people complained, you could only buy them in the following two. They did let you unlock specific skins by playing and they still will...
Not so sure about this event, and those skins. We'll see once it's live if I'll like them or not. The Wingman/PK skins aren't that amazing, I'm surprised they're Legendary skins, they don't look like it. The R301 and Triple Take skins look much cooler already, but we all know they'll be locked behind a paywall, like the rest of the cooler-looking skins (Bangalore looks nice enough) so whatever.
Anyhow, I finally reached Diamond, through lots of blood, sweat & tears. That's it for ranked for now folks, I can rest well.

The event page on PS4 says:
That's now both the official youtube video description and the official PS4 event saying you'll be able to earn the 24 exclusive items/Heirloom, which 100% is not going to happen...

The Wingman is pretty much the Deagle from CS and PC players have been shooting that gun for decades.
had two weird, fun matches where I wanted to play Wraith for a challenge but someone else picked her so I had a random character
first was Crypto where I was lucky enough to get a prowler + select fire and was wreaking some havoc with it and thankfully our Pathfinder won a 1v1 to give us the victory lol
next I was Wattson where I set up base in one of the "arms" of the harvester, had a fence breach, heard them picking up things from a loot box outside, peaked my head out and got them, then my team distracted the other two while I dealt with them
the last team was one Revenant on a cliff; I downed them but they flashed their gold knockdown shield and I missed my thermite grenade throws
we moved to the circle and I ran to a supply drop, turn around and Revenant is behind me taking aim at my teammates
so I shoot them in the back and we win lmao

The theme of the battle pass skins and this event is all the Legends being cyber-ized, not unlike Revenant. Not to mention Season 4 is titled "Assimilation".
Matched with two randoms who held their own super well. I failed to clutch the win, but we got second and had a ton of shared kills and damage between us. We matched again and ran into a similar situation, but this time we were ready and got the win. Best feeling, making up for a failed clutch.
