>>47628524I got to Plat3 in a week in 2021 despite not playing the game for a year and could do the same right now to Master if I had time to waste. Apex is the fps with the most flawed and exploitable ranked system in existence, you can reach Gold or even Plat by literally just afking entire game behind walls and get +80 points by final placement alone despite doing not a single damage the entire game. Reaching master only requires a placement above 10 and at least 2 or 3 kills every game, something anyone retard that played a couple of fps can achieve easily especially with good weapons and gamesense, the only difficult part is doing it each and every game which is only hard because the game on the ladder is pure RNG on what weapon you're gonna get when dropping.
Remember that a single top1 can get you +1 rank level like Plat4 to Plat3, so if you manage to do several in a good day you can basically grind an entire rank in a single session by pure luck. Also TrioQ is basically cheating, literally everyone can go to Master in a good trio, informations and basic coordination clears the entire ladder up to Diamond.
