so i gave it a shot. wanted to see how it goes in low elo on my smurf since i haven’t used it for nearly a year or something. results are the following!
seriously this type of player’s should never climb higher or get boosted. i don’t care that we lost they shouldn’t be allowed to get higher in rank till they realize they’re just extremely bad at this game and start using their brains and also listen to the suggestions instead of doing whatever they want thinking they’re always right etc. also i’ve seen many player’s complaining about being Stuck there. i thought they just need to get better to be able to Unstuck but holy shmoly now i believe some people who said they’re stuck after this

what you see in the screenshot is the type of player’s who kept going 3 vs 5 / 1 vs 5 etc. lvl 8 vs 10 > lvl 18 vs 20… i didn’t believe who said they’re stuck at that rank etc. till i noticed this type of player’s who actually think they’re gods or some crap. that Qhira was insta lock he’s a li ming main btw but he took the Qhira so op seriously and thought he’s invincible so he kept yolo going in by himself and dying over and over again.
now for the ban phase: the man ignored whatever i said and proceed to ban whatever he wish for. banned johanna then “varian” then zagara. while the enemy team were all smurfs after the end of the game they all use the same portrait and were 5 stack etc. i was flamed for soaking for us for lvl 10 while they went in 4 vs 5 during that instead of listen and wait so we can fight at the same level but nope let’s go in and die!
just an advice for whoever want’s to improve and that’s at low rank or whatever your rank is: you really shouldn’t decide everything by yourself and ignore everyone in your team and their suggestions. also think before doing something rather than doing it and then blaming someone else that was doing the right thing. low ranked players play like AI’s i see no difference when i play vs AI or while playing with them. this is the problem over there. they don’t think they do whatever they want and if you say anything you’re toxic and a bad player too!
not gonna lie i got pretty tilted that they ignored everything i said and proceed to feed and ignore our forts under attack we lost every single fort cause of that since i was li ming and her wave clear isn’t that great. enemy team takes all the mercs in the map and my team just brain afk want to fight no matter what! and this is how you lose games in low elo.
you need to take the advice not throw it away / goes from left ear and goes out from the right ear as if no one said anything to you. and if you’re unwilling to learn anything or take any simple advice you’ll never improve trust me. and that’s all! thanks for reading and wish you luck in your games since you’ll really need it no jokes.
I used to think like you, until I realized the devs at blizzard HQ are actually intellectual geniuses with a perfected matchmaking system implemented.
Meaning every single game is carryable if you put in the effort, here is a picture to back up my claims:
you can win if the enemy team does a single mistake. what i meant by that they just stomped your team at the start cause they were doing what my team was doing. which is constant feeding then the enemy team clearly got cocky for seeing it as a free win and apparently they lost at the end. also azmodan is powerful late game not sure how you won it but i’m sure enemy team did mistakes that caused them to lose.
however MVP award doesn’t go for top stats btw. it’s about most kills / assists. even if you had 0 deaths hanzo is 100% MVP cause he got more assist and kills than you did. i know it’s stupid but that’s how it is
When i get a smurf in my game who i know will carry me i start trolling. Got to test out a dogbite reghar build and can confirm it is not the best build. I dont feed but also dont do anything that would make a substantial difference
i’ve seen so many smurfs so far in low elo. and honestly i think they just love stomping these player’s who doesn’t know how to play the game and refuse to learn. it’s just sad to see it.
Pretty much, I have cheesed Silver with Lucio, almost 11 games in the row 90% of them are MVPs and on fire the majority of the match, 10 won, the one lost was 2 trolls throwing in it, its quite insane how easy it is to commit to carrying the entire game on your shoulder in low elos.
inflated ego is 80% of why bad players are bad in this game. Most get mad at you and flame you cuss you out and report you just for giving them tips and making suggestions.
For example, I told a johanna the other day to stop going in 1v5 and dying. I said it like this " Johanna could you please wait for the team and stop going in 1v5, If you keep this up we are going to lose." At that point she already had 9 deaths from that behavior. Enemy team was 2 levels ahead.
I was accused of being toxic and told “Your mother must of put you in the microwave when you were a baby because your stupid as ****”.
Approximately 35%-40% of the games I loose are because of similar behavior like this.
That pictures only your team obstinacy : and that’s a great skill imho. But you can’t get that balanced game every time. On the contrary, those matches are rares. You tend to prove MM can’t allow any carry.
Good i quit ranked long time ago as i can see it have not changed at all.
First time i played this game i thought ranked would be with players who actually give a s… about soaking, dont facecheck bushes and so on. But i fast realized that its not like that. Ranked was like qm but with draft mode and when i got into the actual game, half the time i had throwers and people who troll drafted to get a fast lose or flamers who called healers for braindead for not feeding together with them. But i could care less now. I have played vs diamond/master players in qm who cant even get a single kill or feeds 10+ times. Yes i know it’s qm but still. If those diamond/master players play like that then i’m worried about how they even play in ranked, and how the hekk thy even got that high rank from the start ( yea boosted masters i look at you now)
Power leveling is the main issue in HOTS. You’re 100% right. I see no other answer than stoping porosity between players and leagues, and in the same time, reseting MMR to erase all that trashy PL.
Ah, feel the pain. Now try and climb that. Considering your a master, it shouldn’t be too hard. But imagine a plat playing trying to get outta gold and a gold player stuck in silver. That is the beauty of this game between Bronze and Gold my friend.
After smurfing for a good couple of weeks now.
I went from S5 to D3(Or D2 i can’t remember) currently, the issue with low ranks and high ranks, is kinda what Catherina is describing.
Alot of low ranks THINK they should be at a higher rank, and consistantly just plays incorrectly.
Leaving “us” smurfs to have to constantly make up for all the mistakes being done, and that often means jumping into horrible team fights trying to make a better outcome from it.
Or simply seeing people rush towards other players which they often did, like the minutte they see someone on the minimap they sprint towards them rather than just ignoring it and soak or take camps or actually do something usefull that isn’t fighting 24/7, which btw is not usefull AT ALL.
To sum up, stats really doesn’t give away much information, it could be an indication, but even that can be missleading.
But then again, if you expect bad players to play properly, then they wouldn’t be bad players.
It is all about making up for their mistakes and being able to macro your way around them while playing your usuall game.
Is this some myth that i have yet to experience?
I have never seen a boosted master before, i can’t even imagine what a nightmare that would be to boost someone into master.
I know of bad masters, but i mean bad i mean like they are D5-D3 bad, which is damn bad but not Silver to Plat bad, because those ranks are just attrocious.
Boosted masters were a thing 2-3 years ago were you would see players who only had silver rank in hero league getting master rank in team league. I once saw a stream from Mene who played for Fnatic before they quit the game and he que up to a ranked game and saw a player who were silver/bronze rank for 2 seasons but in the 3 season he was suddenly master. A master would take 4 bronze players in his team and get easy wins in TL cause enemy team is full bronze team.
Catharina also had her fair share experience with master players i know as she has showed us Youtube clips of a master rank Dehaka who feeded whole game and never helped his team at all. Finaly the last thing. Today you can buy master accounts on the internet for 100+ euro and i have als seen topics on reddit were people admit they had bought the account on the internet.
I gave up trying to climb out of gold cause I think my qp mmr is actually higher than my ranked. Since people in ranked are substantially stupider than those in my qm games.
People in SL (Gold 1/2) love going alone late game and dying. Repeatedly staggering late game, not soaking, wasting objectives, not going corewhen enemy team gets wiped at 20+, doing boss during curse.
Literally all the text book bad stuff you shouldn’t do.
No matter how smart I play, or what numbers I put in for the team I end up losing cause of stuff like that, especially staggering. Gold players love to stagger. I once lost a ToD match when we had 32 core hp and enemy had 2, cause the numbskulls couldn’t just group once.
