I am trying to figure out who to use to carry myself out of silver and back to gold.
I have tried DPS for a while and that didn’t work to well whereas if I ever picked Hanzo at the beginning of the match everyone decided to throw. They wouldn’t even give me a chance to show that I am a fairly good Hanzo. I am not saying I am great at him and I’m nowhere near good enough to pull off something like carrying with him to grandmaster, but I feel like I could get back into gold with him if my team didn’t throw the second I picked him.
I have recently given up on trying to use DPS and have been using support and tanks, mainly lucio and zarya. I am enjoying them so far but I don’t know if they can make enough of an impact on the game to carry.
Like I said, I am only in silver so I don’t know much, all I know is I see a lot of climbing/carrying videos from people using DPS, and I want to know if the same is possible with support or tank, because when I pick the DPS I am good at, it usually is interpreted as throwing.
You can climb on any hero, provided that you’re good enough… I climbed from silver to plat playing Orisa and Winston, two quite unpopular heroes for that rank. In my opinion, it’s just about outperforming your opponents consistently.
I reckon Zarya would be an excellent hero to climb with, so long as again, you are capable with her.
Every hero can carry you from silver with not so much effort. Bronze is super easy, silver easy and the higher you go, the harder it is.
If you want very effective carry hero, Meis is perfect for that in ranks below plat. You can have insane impact on game with her. Killing, stoping push, blocking ults, you can self heal and you have powerfull ult.
Its still same but harder, you can climb to GM with that i think. Some heroes can carry better than other, usualy highly mechanical heroes like hitscans, genji, doomfist…
