Your team comp and the ability or inability to counter swap to get instant value.
Especially tank diffs. This is exactly why one tricking is so bad, or refusing to swap, especially in high ELO.
So as much as this forum site like to complain about stomps and why they won’t swap, or that Blizz says in the rules not swapping isn’t considered sabotage,
Not counter swapping is literally throwing your SR away, especially in high ranks.
if you’re struggling to win, this is the reason why.
People blame the matchmaker for everything but so many of us are one-tricks which causes a lot of issues
And being a one trick is why those players will never climb.
Now imagine getting two one tricks on the same team who gets counter swapped after first fight.
Might as well hang it up
Isn’t there alot of one tricks in gm and masters?
Seems like the best way to climb is to focus on a hero and master their kit to a degree that you can beat your counters.
It’s been proven to be the fastest way to climb ranks.
Because of comps not swapping to deal with the problematic one trick.
Guaranteed if more people swapped, you’d see less climbing on one tricks
Had to laugh at this one. “If people just stopped one-tricking, there’d be less one-tricks.” So true!
And that’s where alot of games are lost.
If most people in high ELO are one tricking, how many are counter swapping because it’s filled with one trick andies? And the games they do lose they get countered swapped and pooped on.
You literally confirmed my post with your comment.
Here is my thing. I have been in masters. I don’t care anymore about my rank. I simply won’t grind enough matches to climb. I think this account has been parked in plat and really not dedicated enough to push up. So I otp Queen. Ik she is dog water. Ik. Idc. This is a game I play for fun. Even in defeat I will take somebody with me. If I do swap, it will be to ball because I really dgaf. Cry all you want. Game isn’t balanced so why should I care.
It’s also the fastest way to lose a game if enemy has common sense and counter picks the problem one trick and proceeds to shut them out.
Hope they enjoy seeing that defeat screen 
I can definitely otp Queen out of plat if i wanted. Even in her poop state since the passive. I just don’t care enough to grind my way through going 6-4 or 7-3. that would still take a lot of matches. Like i said I don’t care about winning. I’m out here practicing my combos on a flank. Fr. Its fun for me either way. A lot more fun then swapping brain rot sigma and spamming rocks. Cool.
The devs don’t take competitive balance seriously so why should i as a gamer
This is season 10. There are no tank diffs. Every game is a DPS diff.
Fr. I was reading it like is he saying one tricking is both the problem and the answer? 
You watch lots of timthetatman op?
haha but man… is blizzard who need to fix this gameplay experience problem. right now the best way to win a match is just hardcounter the enemy tank and the tanks experience is soo bored.
as tank i dont get any fun swapping my hero each team fight or ourplaying the enemy tank just picking the hardcounter.
do you think that i get any fun destroying the enemy dva just picking zarya?
(im talking about the majority the ranks… not higher ranks like gm or champions)
Agreed, team comp matters a lot. But swapping isn’t always a great answer. I don’t want someone to swap when they have 0 experience with those heroes. Sure some counters are so effective that just switching will increase odds of winning, but not all.
I enjoy swapping, but it can get tiring and does force me to play heroes I won’t particularly enjoy.
This is one of the reasons why, not the only one.
There’s one-tricks all the way up to top 500. One-tricking isn’t the most efficient way to climb, but it’s also not impossible to climb as a one-trick either. Having too wide a hero pool can actually be more detrimental than one-tricking. Ideally, you play about 3-4 heroes in your role, but one or two tricking is viable.
This isn’t actually true… I tried one-tricking moira… Literally the easiest hero in the game. Got to masters 2 on a moira only account. Now to be fair, i can play the heck out moira, its like im best performer in the slow kids class… On another account i played only healer and swapped a ton, counter swapped like zen for grav, or ana for hog…
What i noticed is my teammates were significantly better on average on my moira only account. I won WAAY more games, and had much better teammates.
A while ago i would watch STEVO (Sym only) on stream and wonder how he got ranked so high when (back then) sym was a relatively easy hero to play. Ive used the onetrick fallacy on heals get well into mega high ranked games, some with pro players or top notch streamers.
Ok if I can’t rank up and just stay where I am playing what I want I don’t see the problem. My chance to win drops from 55% to 45% because I didn’t swap. A tragedy indeed
I didn’t counterswap and hit m1 instead of gm5 one tricking sigma s8. Could’ve played more games and gotten there through rng probably. Oh well
most pro players are “one tricks” u did know, right?
This isnt a 1v1 game. Its TEAM based game where everyone supports eachother. So really, there is no such thing as “on tricking”.
In fact, players who “one trick” as you call it, end up being very good at their hero, knowing their weaknesses and learned how to deal with them, or when to fight or not fight. They have learned to deal with their more problematic heros.
As opposed to people who switch all the time, which also lowers their number of ults they do for the match.
Also remember, you are speaking in absolutes. A “one trick” just has to win more games than they lose, and they will climb.
Poeple dont have to win 100% of the time.
