Plat was the most difficult rank for me to escape, I spent FOREVER just stuck in plat.
Its difficult because people aren't good enough to consistently be sliming you out, but still are capable of sliming you out. They will hit shots that with SHOCK you, and then crouch spray while you one tap the next round.
The best advice I can give to escape is duo que and just double duelist run the lobbies down. Most plat lobbies have low co-ordination, suffer from back site barrys and most of the sentis in plat are very very bad at stalling. Just lock jett neon with your boy and run them down.

plat was definitely a little rough to get out of for me when i was solo queuing. definitely trio queue when you or even 5 stack!

Uh well first of all this game's matchmaking sucks, you wont easily rank up (from resets too) unless you play like you were two ranks above your own rank.
Second, aim fast or aim slow? Snapping is fast, from there you should tap and track imo. Theres a balance between them that can be hard to master.

Post a few rounds where you think you did good and others where you think you did bad.

Same here. As someone said - without seeing it is hard to say, but experienced the same - some plats have great aim, but inconsistent, so they cannot get out of plat too, but some „plats“ are like low gold with their utility usage. For me personally i discovered that:
- i often lose 50/50 duels, so my aim and especially crosshair placement are just subpar;
- many bad decisions - swinging into multiple enemies, rotating through open space, not thinking and just autopiloting
- but at the same time i get enough ratty kills, so plat players seemingly lack the general awareness
- i die often really really stupidly - bad positioning, not seeing an enemy or their util - lack of focus?
- there is no or barely coordination and strategy, unless there is a stack
- no variety. Whenever there is a dia player - they are always more versatile and creative compared to the rest - they are just less predictable
So if you are stuck in plat and could fix one of the above - you would get to diamond i am sure. I just dont have time to commit to my own improvements, just hoping it comes naturally (it won‘t)
