What this rank actually requires.
Players who plateau at Platinum most commonly hit a reaction-speed ceiling that decision quality cannot offset. The fastest path forward is dimension-specific training, not more match time.
The Reaction Time dimension is one of eight cognitive measurements scored by the NeuroRank combine. The full profile, archetype classification, and AI scouting report take 7 minutes. The combine is free.
