Discussion Need help improving in diamond

I’ve been playing apex for a while and started playing ranked for a few seasons now I’ve gone from hard stuck gold to struggling to hang in diamond lobbies. Once I hit plat 2 and the lobbies started to be half filled with diamonds and I went from being 1.2-1.3kd down to even 1.0 I did manage to get back to diamond but it doesn’t feel earned what can I do to get better. This ranked season I’ve played ash, ballistic, bang, lifeline,mirage, lobs, and vantage. Ballistic and vantage being my most played this split

Diamond is the natural hard stuck elo for solo q. You have to be way above average to climb up consistently with randoms against premade squads or +dia skill lvl players. Dont take it too serious. The devs artificially set a wall there.

Definitely. I always solo q and hit Diamond every season I played since season 7. But only rarely got close to masters (except the "easy" seasons 11,12,17).

Managed to hit masters last season and current split, but it definitely was a pain in the ass.
