Climbing has to be one of the hardest things ever

I’m not sure how you guys feel about it, but I feel like it’s ridiculously hard and the people who say things like “You’re (insert tier here) rank because you deserve to be there” and stuff like that truly do not understand what it’s like. Yes with Overwatch 2 releasing in 1 month and a few days from now, obviously the people on this game still are smurfs, people who are boosting accounts, throwers, the people who get high and drink while playing, etc, it’s not pleasant. Overwatch 2 won’t be much better, sure more people are gonna care for a hot minute, but you’re not gonna be boosted, you’re just gonna start off where you where before Overwatch 2. I’m not sure if this is just a me thing, but I literally just keep losing. People respond with “Just play Soldier” “Just play Reaper”, etc, and that makes me so angry. If it were that easy everybody would it. What they fail to get is that, if you are good, but your team isn’t, you’re not gonna solo carry and win all your games. Especially on console. The skill gap is much harder. I feel like nobody understand how hard it is to truly climb. Whether you’re in a 6 stack, or simply solo, it’s super hard.

Struggling in silver is what got me in Bronze in the first place.

Everyone understands.

People who’ve done it know it is as hard as you make it, and dependant on how much work you are willing to put in.

If you are struggling in SILVER, genuinely you just don’t deserve to climb. Climbing isn’t a reward for just playing more, it’s for those who put in the effort to understand their mistakes, learn how to apply fixing them going forward, and genuinely improving over time.

Nobody wins all their games, what matters is that you win the majority or above 50% to climb, if you are indeed better than the players in your elo, you WILL climb, unless you aren’t actually that good.

Fix your mistakes to improve and climb

No, these people are speaking based on facts. The people who are above you on the ladder – however hard the ladder is, however unfair it is, however big a sham you think it is, however bad your teammates are, however bad low population is making matchmaking, and anything I haven’t mentioned – are handling all of these complexities and problems better than you. And you know how I know that? Because they’re rated higher than you are. That’s it. They are competing in the SAME ENVIRONMENT AS YOU and are facing the same variables and difficulties, and they are simply managing them better than you are.

Outside of cheating, does the ladder measure ANYTHING but effectiveness, skill, and knowledge? If so, please tell me what those other variables are and we can discuss.

Dnt listen to all these guys saying fix your mistakes, get vod reviews, its all on you blah blah blah. Im peak top 100 and i will tell you this is the most garbage matchmaker ive ever seen in 30 plus years of gaming.

Just get a new account, then on placements highly inflate your KD ratio and it will instantly place you around 3200-3500. After that just play normally and you will climb much easier because most people now have an understanding of the game.

Its sad but most guys on here wont admit that, and no offense not all but most arent even good enough for the rank imo. Mechanics dnt seem to be a strong point so they stick around OW, instead of getting high elo in all fps.

Just my take, but if you want legit advice to make you better at all fps games hit me up. Its not rocket science and anyone can do it with a few small adjustments.

“Top 100” and private profile, name a more iconic duo :rofl:

Overbuff states you were
2,2k tank
2,5k dps
2,6k support

A year ago.

You then typed in a post in May 2 that you are Mid Diamond:

Soooo, what is it gonna be? How is Mid Diamond anywhere near top 100?

Its hard to trust someone who does nothing to back up their claims, and have some very terrible takes that easily showcase their actual elo.

Check my profile before you make assumptions homie =]

Do let me know what those magic tips are that will instantly make you better. Maybe I can do with some of them and instantly become 4,6k instead of suffering with vod reviews and self focus =]

Oh yeah this is totally my only account. Tbh the most SAD part is I wasnt even talking about you because i already know your good, not humble but a good player. But the fact you took this sooo personally is honestly worrying.

Like truly I hope your day gets better.

yeah and years later you can’t get out of diamond im sure :joy: your takes are meaningless and you are not as good a player as you think you are

Lmao, so youve seen all my accounts? You honestly believe I have one account thats less then level 200?

The most sad part about this community right here. No wonder no one high profile posts here anymore.

Take care though

Bro you lie and get called out and try defending yourself with ad hominem :skull:

What reason do I have to lie to a kid on the internet? Please go touch grass

But when some of these git guds climbs, and haven’t actually climbed in awhile I wonder what would happen these days…. Could they do an unranked to gm without a group on NA during some time of day?

Cause it’s funny. Owl and streamers do unranked to gm and who knows what region they do… but I say… no 1 on this forum … has done an unranked to gm on NA.

Would love to see it, would love to learn from it.

To feed your own ego trying to convince people on the forums that you are a top 500 player :skull: Spoiler: we all know you’re not. You’ve not even given a battletag and you can’t even manage to get out of diamond these days lololol

Prove me wrong. Go post on your T500 account since you’re such a big boy

coached a friend from mid bronze to gold in just a few weeks in the current season (35), they did it all in solo queue too

still possible even if the games are a bit more messy than before, you just need to understand and fix your mistakes

I just like to see evidence, doesn’t help that tons of people on these forums constantly lie and make up stuff (especially the rigged MM believer group), so whats the issue being skeptical about someone claiming to be high ranked with private profile and making VERY questionable takes?

Thanks! And you too =]

It’s a LOT harder to climb out of bronze or silver than it should be. Yes, if you’re diamond or GM or whatever you can solo carry your way out of there on DPS. But if you’re a gold or plat player, especially if you play tank or support, then you’ve got no chance. You’re honestly better off starting a new account and hoping you get lucky in your placements and end up in plat.
