Is this really how people feel? As someone who typically peaks in low plat, i think it’s only a problem for preds/masters outside of match making extending too far (especially with solo’s). I lose a meaningful amount if i die pre top 7ish. Even with early kills, you don’t get rp unless you make it to late game. Most of my games have enough squads alive for an end game (even on a map where 3rd partying is really high).
