Been bronze since season 7

There is no hope of getting out. No amount of sending vods, no amount of watching streamers/people in the league, no amount of watching my games to look for mistakes after the matches. Once you are placed here you won’t get out. I want to know the statistics of people that have climbed out. And I don’t mean in a group, I mean on their own and not way back before blizzard implemented SR loss for losing a game because remember SR loss didn’t used to be a thing in early seasons. I put too much time and effort into this game to be stuck here. Something isn’t right and I don’t know what it is. I put hundreds of hours in heroes, stream all the time, sent in coaching videos where I was told If I continue playing the way I do I would be out of this rank in no time but I am still here and still being bullied just for being in bronze. I get talked down to by trolls and smurfs in my matches, the match maker is drunk half of the time. A few days ago my team had to fight against a team that had a gold ranked doomfist on it boosting his friend in their double stack. I just don’t know what to do in this game anymore.

i mean … if your game sense really is above bronze, play a carry hero like doomfist by urself and you will see how easy it is to demolish those bronze player :s

You also don’t need alot of aim. I was playing WoW since 2007 therefore ive legit 0 aim, only the one i got from OW the past 1/2 year, yet i’m able to carry myself up to high play with DF even though it isn’t even my main nor my 2nd role.

I recently did start playing doomfist. Usually end up with all the medals but this is still bronze and people will still be playing there straight from level 25 as if it is quickplay. Not to mention everyone just plays the cheesiest heroes that take the least amount of effort but destroy everything because blizzard made some heroes that way.

You always lost SR/rating for losses in game. It’s been this way since season 1.

originally it was numbers before they changed things to SR

You still lost progression towards next rank for losses and you can lose ranks. It’s the same as current SR ratings except you see a bar moving instead of number changes.

you don’t remember how they eventually changed everything because they believe there were too many people in specific ranks so they changed things? I believe it was a silver/bronze change they made before they split comp into two groups. The diamond and above ranking system and the diamond and below ranking system. How one became winrate based and the other became performance based

There was no tiers like bronze/silver/gold/etc during season 1, only rank numbers from 1-100. There are different rank icons in groups of 10 but they were not colored. They changed it to current SR because people didn’t feel like they were progression watching a bar move but not a big number change.

Instead of changing by 25-35 SR, you got something like 10% bar increase or whatever.

You always gain/lost rating based on game win/losses.

Before you can kick off your competitive career, every new player must first complete 10 placement matches in order to obtain their initial skill rating . This rating will be a number between 1 and 100, with higher values indicating a greater skill level.

Skill ratings will be visible at the beginning of every match. As you compete, your rating will increase or decrease with each win or loss based on a number of factors, including your own performance and the skill of the other players in the match.

For people who want to know which season 1 rank they would have in season 2:

Season 2: Bronze: 1-1499 = Season 1: 0-29 Skillrating
Season 2: Silver: 1500-1999 = Season 1: 30-39 Skillrating
Season 2: Gold: 2000-2499 = Season 1: 40-49 Skillrating
Season 2: Platinum: 2500-2999 = Season 1: 50-59 Skillrating
Season 2: Diamond: 3000-3499 = Season 1: 60-69 Skillrating
Season 2: Master: 3500-3999 = Season 1: 70-79 Skillrating
Season 2: Grandmaster: 4000-5000 = Season 1: 80-100 Skillrating

okay fine. what does that have to do with my situation?

You claim there was a time when you didn’t lose rating for lost games, I showed that’s not a thing.

okay but what about the rest of the paragraph I wrote? Why latch on to one sentence out of that entire long post? Is it because I am bronze

Posts like this personally insult me I climbed from Bronze to Masters. I’m half blind in both eyes like actually half of each of my eye’s is pitch black. I have a mousing finger with scar tissue from being cut off at an early age that doesn’t click well and several other more minor disadvantages such as my age at 25 pushing 26 I’m also left handed but had to learn using a mouse and keyboard right handed like anyone else. if I can do it anyone can if they train properly. No one should feel entilted to climb and some people just hit a cap and are unlikely to climb regardless for whatever reason such as limited time high age or various other factors. the point i’m trying to make is whenever there are posts like this it’s an insult to anyone who put the work in and grinded it out to get better it’s not an easy road and it takes alot of guts and intellectual honesty but don’t you DARE brush off the hardwork and dedication it takes it’s an insult to anyone who has ever climbed.

I don’t have any disabilities and I am really impressed by what you have done. I agree with your point about the how it’s kind of insulting to the people that did make the climb. I was bronze in season 2 and reached diamond in season 12 so… not as amazing as you but still quite good

Because that one is factually wrong and it’s easy to prove.

The rest of the post is the typical impossible-to-climb whining, and I seen enough of these to know that people who believe this can’t be convinced regardless of evidence provided.

I am sorry that you are bothered by this because you were able to climb out and everything has to be about you even in someone elses thread.

your attempting to deem my accomplishments and efforts impossible to replicate. That has everything to do with me and anyone else who’s ever climbed period
