Hi,
I am playing support only and trying to figure out what is wrong with the comp system.
My alt account seem cursed.
My main is gm-master but I’m trying to climb my alt account and it seems stuck at plat.
Been doing great all game considering this rank but I mean something is clearly off and not working properly in this system.
I can lose up to 10 games in a row in soloq and games are 90% of the times totally unfair.
Someone found a way to get passed this bug except creating another account and starting fresh.
I mean I can’t just be plat in one account and gm master on another it doesn’t make sense right??

It depends on grind, spend more time on that account. Also, ppl are throwing more these days, it is hard to see, and it seems like they are playing normal, but they actually don’t care and this is represented in their gameplay slightly here, slightly there, eventually they throw being out of care. And this makes a snowball effect, one player do not care, he plays tank, a whole team got tank diffed. And tanks+supports are the game outcome difference makers.
On top of that, there were a lot of baby cries about “I am lvl 100, and I have lvl 1000 in the enemy team, this is not fair!” Guess what then? Now you have more smurfs in the enemy team if you are bronze border by yourself, which doesn’t make it any easier to climb. This is a side effect of border’s equilibrium/balancing. It is much easier to climb on a hardstuck account, it’s mmr is set, while new account’s mmr is undetermined and jumps all over the place.
If you want to climb, OTP Bap is the move.
It’s a old account that used to be gm master too it’s not fresh and and I played many season in this situation now. So everything is set and I should Definitely be able to climb by now given the time I spent
So you want to say that you dropped to plat? However, the level of an account still come into equation if it is below lvl 400+
People do trolls and play bad but it should happen on both team not just the one I’m in…
I mean is there a way for the system to know I’m a gm master and just put me with lower skilled allied to compensate.
This thing could work if I was a tank or dps Smurf but I’m a healer and even if I was the top#1 healer I feel some of those games would be lost anyway.
Yes, if you are overperforming, but that’s defined most by your win rate, and time spent on fire + other stats, but the most important is the win rate. If you have win rate above 65%, there is matchmaking handicapping comes into play and supplies you the more with sub-humans the higher your win rate is.
So how do you end up in plat if you said this account was gm/masters before? You have lost like 300 games or?

This account was gm master then a stopped playing on it for several season and it decay to 3000
Now 2 seasons ago I started to play on it as a main acc and here I am in this situation. I was never able to hit tha 3000 again so imagine 3500-4000 lol

So it was basically diamond already. That makes sense. Ah, good old days with decay, free smurfing =) Play bap only, that support is solo-carry being op as heck. And if you are able to combine Bap with Ana, you will thrive eventually if you have GM skill. (Do not play moira, lucio, brig)

Yes but my skill haven’t changed and I should go up the ranks not down to now 2600.
I mean I’ve been playing since Beta lol
Well, It depends on if you were active all this time, do not underestimate washed-up factor, ow still requires you to play at least 3-5 h a day to be in a good shape.
I play mostly Ana mercy Moira. Since I’m a main healer and always played main heal with my teams
But I’ll go bap even if I like him less and give him a try lol
Just for a note, I made it to 3300 with bap not healing at all (only accidental shift healing), But I am ashe/76 main. So look for a good balance between damage/heling, if your value recognition is on a GM lvl, you will have no problems climbing, but aim matter the most here. Dinks should be 9-15% (the lower your rating the higher your ctit), and primary accuracy 40%+
But I mean I shouldn’t not have to do this to climb out of plat haha
It clearly doesn’t make any sense to play 1 heroe only in overwatch to get out of plat as a gm master
For how long have you been inactive by yourself? Or you were playing all the time?
Was playing all the time and inactive maybe only some season when other nice games were releasing.
I mean I never played in plat in this game season 1 maybe and then season 2 I was already diamond and gm by season 5.
So this is my all time low in this game
Do you take advantage of the fact that you’re a gm player by abusing their mistakes or pressuring killing enemy dps and support yourself? Because if you’re playing solid and not presenting openings, that’s really all it takes in my experience.
I can pretty consistently stay out of low plat on support and I’m only diamond support. If I fall anywhere near gold, just doing that is a free win. If I were a masters support the same would probably hold true for low diamond, I guess.
The thing is that bap is overpowered, and it has been proven over time. He is the easiest support to climb, considering double shield meta and how he enables this. Bap has also a versatile kit to play against everything, not being team dependent.
If you didn’t play in low elo, it is much different compared to what it used to be before. Ppl have gotten smarter there, and low elo also filled with a lot of smurfs nowadays. So the way you play in masters/gm as support is an easy ride compared to what you HAVE to do in lower tiers. That is why Bap is best here. He just does everything at once, better 76 by himself, and you can still healbot with him.

I mean I’m playing like I play on all accounts.
Lol it just way too hard to climb. I tried telling the others what to do. I tried muting everyone and just playing my best. None works
You need to play like smurf there in order to climb, playing normaly will not make any difference. You can play normal above 3700, probably. But in plat you have to hard carry those pepegas. Smurf flanks, diff their dps, kill the backline, 1v1 any tank (bap does this with ease if you know how to play him). Bap has 500 of effective hp with the lamp+shift. Mobility allows you to be everywhere and flex from low ground to high ground with no downsides.
You can also do stuff with Ana, but I found Bap makes it easier.
What you say here makes sense DART but it just prove how flawed the system is in certain condition like the one I’m in
I guess I’ll start bap. I knew he was good just didn’t like him as much as the others I guess
