I am bronze-silver, and, well, I don’t see the fun in high ranked comp? It’s just the same team composition vs the same team composition, no room for interesting plays, no room for silly stuff, its just. We go these heroes, we sweat, we win. Where as in the lower ranks you end up having some silly team composition that somehow ends up winning you the match just because you guys put in the effort with the hero you’re good at. There’s no pressure to play the current crazy overpowered pick, you a torb main? go torb. you like mei? go for it. People in lower ranks aren’t as equipped to deal with the “weaker” heroes. So your main being niche doesn’t matter. I sometimes feel worried about growing out of the low ranked comp just because that means you have to start sweating and that just doesn’t seem fun.
There’s a sweet spot. The level of play is horrendous that low.
I can’t speak for GM, but in most ranks people don’t really play the meta.
gold/plat is where you want to be. people aren’t super horrible at the game but they aren’t sweats either.
they should remove bronze from the game entirely, because its troll valley. its like a “hey if you get this rank, then comp is useless and you cant get out because the players hold you down including smurfs or anyone who feels like pretending they’re superior by picking on lower skilled players” and believe me theres a lot of those playing…
I just want gold guns and games with people who actually belong in my rank.
I thought SMS protect would help with the smurfing.
…and then a bug dumped everyone in Bronze 5.
This is where I was and where I wanna be again. I fully agree.
