Hello, I posted my climb from bronze to silver with Mercy 3 days ago and since then I was trying to climb on DPS role. I played a lot of torb when I started, but Bastion was my choice after like 12 games with torbjorn. I definitely wanted to play Junkrat too, but I had fun on bastion so I stayed on him. Just as with Mercy, I wanted to play heroes anyone can play even without good aim.
I had to play 89 games to climb with mercy and I had to play only 45 games to do the same on dps role. I think Bastion choice was very important as players in bronze usualy have troubles to deal with him. When I climed to Silver, my winrate on bastion was 85% and 91% on torbjorn.
Smurfs? Throwers? Leavers? If I consider playing only half of the games as I played with mercy, I definitely faced more smurfs on dps role. Well actualy more of everything probably . I will show my tank role probably next week. I want to play something mechanicaly easy, probably Rein or Winston. I think winston could be fun.
I played with people I met several times btw.
