People still think DPS are the carry heroes…
You just have to work with what you have. People are stubborn.

DPS are the carry heros… If you are significantly better in all the other aspects of your game other than just mechanical skill
I like where I am in Silver. Especially in LFG most players will happily swap and shake up comps because we all know we’re bad even with our mains 
Yes… but then you are more than 500sr misplaced.
If you are actually closer to your true skill, you depend on decent tanking and support to be effective.
You can actually make up for bad dps with the tanks and offtanks. You can’t do anything when your main tank is a complete feeder.
Got 56 on season 1!
Played from 2497 to 2760(ish) yesterday. “Refusing to cooperate” was strictly the rule in every single game. People would try to throw out of spawn just because my group of 3 went triple DPS (usually with 2 out of sombra, soldier, tracer to help sustain or double sniper + sombra to delete enemies).
No issues with that. If the guy got to plat as onetrick he deserves that rank. Got kinda mad at the 70% winrate rein that swapped to Hanzo because he didn’t like triple DPS and the 4th DPS picks that did nothing at all though.
Not swapping to a hero you can’t play at your rank is more valuable skillwise than swapping and underperforming IMHO.
Sadly that meant I got to play very little widow.
Meh. You can play around counters most of the time, unless it’s a very hard counter like sombra + mei vs hamster or widow soldier McCree vs pharah (had an enemy play pharah all game against us… It was… Interesting… I think she managed to kill our Zen once over 2 rounds, and got headshoted out of ult both times -once by our Zen, the guy got his sweet revenge lol.
Problem with plat is not one tricks, trolls and throwers. Is they think they are “top half of the community” and they consider themselves proficient.
On average my silver and gold games this season had way less toxicity and better teamwork.

My whole point was it’s not in normal situations =P though it’s not as far as 500, I’d argue 300 SR is enough

I haven’t gotten to it yet, chill.
I don’t agree with this. Playing a totally countered hero because “You want to” is hindering your team, and doesn’t show an understanding that a team comp helps you win. When the rest of your team is running a dive or GOATS comp, and all of a sudden you end up with a random Torb, it’s not a person who “generally understands that a team comp helps you win”. In fact, it’s the opposite. It’s a person who “generally understands” that he’s encouraged to play whatever he wants because there is no consequence for refusing to coordinate with your team. Likewise, a one-trick isn’t someone who doesn’t understand how to use a team comp properly, it’s simply that: A one-trick who refuses to play anything else. That’s forcing your team to play AROUND you, which shows, once again, a general _mis_understanding of a team comp helping you win.
As for whining about a team comp, you selected the most vague part of what I said, with the most room for “exceptions” (which are not rules…). Yeah, I’ve seen 6 DPS work some times. I’ve also seen it not work FAR MORE times than it’s worked. You can’t point to exceptions as a validation that I’m wrong about a team comp. Forcing a tank or DPS main to play healer, because you have a 4-stack DPS should NOT be a Plat problem. Can you win? Sure. Are your chances high? Unlikely. And that, is the definition of a hindrance.
“Yet how often you guys run stuff like DVA Hog 
I’ve seen so many plat games where you’ll run two off tanks and then not push past the choke, and then blame your off meta heros”
This right here I have a ton of hours on Dva, I know how to play other tanks but it really bothers me in play games when I insta lock Dva and someone waits till the last moment to pick roadhog, and then of course they rage if The dps have a hard tim.
