And yet… It happens and that’s scary because they’re way way better than anyone else in the lobby.
I don’t know, dude. I play more ““casually”” right now. I still win plenty of games I shouldn’t win.

There’s really nothing you can do about getting “terrible” teammates. Which could be people who don’t have a lot of time to play the game everyday or just have bad stretches of games which is highly likely from Diamond and down

That’s the time leading up to your peak, yes. But you stopped playing at your peak. So when you continue playing you will fall back down closing the gap between your main and you alt.
Maybe you will also climb more and prove me wrong. Who knows.

as i’ve said before there’s always been half a rank to a full rank difference between the two accounts minimum.
that simply should not be the case if the claim that “everyone is where they belong” is true.
700 SR difference should never occur with 40 hours of playtime even with peak/low point accounted for
It only exists because you are only playing on one account, not on both.

nope i played on both
got to 3.5 on this account and then a few days later went down to platinum on other account
If you cannot get out of bronze you actually belong there.

Yes, you played on both, but you are not playing on both anymore.

indeed and i have no intention of playing more competitive (rq). i’ve played more than enough .
as i said even if we account for the possibility that this account may be at my peak and the other account may be at my low point 700 SR difference still shouldn’t occur .
just playing custom games and open queue from now
ya, I can see this being bronze.
There were a lot of times he charged a shots when he would need to move orbs soon, or when he didnt have enough time to get 4-5 shots when he would have been better off just left clicking (much higher dps). His mechanics were also pretty bad, svb called it gold or better but i call bs here, he may have gotten an occasional pick on someone just spamming an angles (which isnt mechanically demanding, more a game sense thing of understand where) but other then that he was struggling to consistently hit squishys. trans usage was eh, they were slow to use it in some situations and missed out on situations to save themselves on a junkrat who was clearly on a mission to tire them. The grav one was fine though.
zen will be a slightly easier hero to get away with thrown up also, because at the end of the day boosting 5 other people’s damage with no cooldown or aim required is still massive value.

The problem about playing against bronze is that even a higher silver player who starts in bronze can look like a plat player.

that’s your problem right there.
700sr between peak and low point is nothing. Right now, I am playing 300 below my peak. I can definitely see myself having a bad streak and drop 300-400 sr. 700 sr difference right there. If you keep playing, however, that gap will get smaller again though.
You are not doing that but yet you are complaining about your own inconsistent game play.

maybe you and I just have very different standards as to what constitutes an accurate rating system
what about the 1000+ rating difference between accounts that others have reported?
so i lost 700 skill rating worth of skills overnight basically? how does that happen?
i get 3.3 on the other account and then suddenly i’m given impossible games
is it any coincidence that multiple people have reported some kind of mmr barrier around 3.3 and 2.8 which is where i dropped to?
crazy thing is that i was at the height of my skills… my peak god level . had just hit 3.5 on this account couple of days ago
i wasn’t playing drastically worse by any stretch of the imagination and definitely not 700 skill rating points worse
there’s no way i suddenly lost all of that skill…
I’ll say it one more time: this gap only exists because you are not simultaneously playing on both accounts. You stopped playing on your main weeks ago.
You seemed to have performed well a few weeks ago (reflected by your peak), but now you don’t (reflected by you alt account SR). You take your peak as your current skill level which it obviously is not, otherwise you wouldnt struggle in low plat.
No, but over a few weeks.
I can’t say. I am not you. People, however, are wildly inconsistent.
confirmation bias
There are no universal barriers. Some people just struggle at some SR which can vary from player to player. I struggle most at 3.6k because I can least adapt to the play style in that ELO.
play on your main and you will see for yourself

i already told you i played on the other account within a few days later after i reached 3.5 on this account, not more than a week. it was probably three or four days . there’s no way i suddenly lost all of that skill in three or four days
why don’t you say “play on your other account”?
Doesnt matter, it’s nothing unusual to quickly fall off after a few days of peak performance
what?

might be true for raw mechanical skills especially if you play aim intensive heroes but reinhardt is a lot about understanding. basically i got super saiyan god ultra instinct and i can go back to that form at anytime
it’s as if you’re desperate to believe that i’m overrated rather than underrated . why?
Both, your and my claim, can easily be proven by you playing on your main. If you keep climbing or remain at that rank, it would prove what you are saying. If you drop it would prove what I am saying.

or by me playing on the other account could prove that i’m underrated on that account could it not?
(despite the fact that i already have 40 hours)
