Do Low rank players know they are there because they aren't good or do they think its balance?

I feel like people think the balance of the game holds them back from being GM or stuff like that cuz I’ve heard so many people on this forum argue this. Or are you just casual players and don’t care about rank if that’s the case why argue balance.

If there is one thing I have learned, is that a lot of bad players are entitled, and slightly narcissistic. They believe they are just that good, but their team mates or the devs keep them from climbing, they lack the self awareness needed to be good players.

Both balance and personal skill determine the ease a person climbs ranks. This is why whenever a hero becomes busted, some people can climb to ranks they did not deserve and fall-off after the nerfs come through.

For example, in Bronze, Genji had one of the worst winrates. And now Bronze Genjis have a better winrate than Bronze Moiras. Bronze Genjis did not suddenly get better at the game, Genji got buffed.

The entire argument in favor of top-down balancing hinges on this simple and obvious balance impact.

Reaper’s life steal was crap in low ranks. Hence I will argue. That buff was only made for high ranks.

It kinda does when you like to play symm or bap. Do you personally think that all of the people who play the game and are in low elos think like this? They’re just a minority. Mister diamond player.

Well when I first joined I thought top 500 meant 500SR so…when I went down I was super happy. Maybe? Oh- I thought you said do they think they are good.

Didnt you just make a thread complaining about how the balance of the game is bad and its easy to climb ranks abusing heroes right before this that got deleted

also on the delete note its funny how you said “The blizzard devs always unflag my posts” and less than 30min later the post gets hit with the delete

No i remember him very clearly stating like 4 different times that he indeed is a t500 player who talks with the devs a lot on discord and laugh at the forum low elo players on another post

No, that’s just people refusing to play another hero after dying over and over with the same hero.

True in some cases, at the same time I have seen people start being meta slaves and climb 1000 SR in less than a month :man_shrugging:

I mean original brig and moth mercy could carry you to GM no problems. Current doom and genji should net you anything between 200-500 SR depending on your rank I can almost guarantee it.

Why have u made 2 threads in an hour basically attempting to dump on lower Ranked players but try make it some weird debate lol. You’re in diamond… Where is this ego coming from

There are a lot of reasons that people can’t climb, it’s just them admitting that they are a part of the problem. Usually it’s “my teammates are trash” and different variants.

I’m hardstuck plat and I definitely will not say I’m better because my aim is garbage, but I’m also a casual player so it’s hard for me to find time to practice that aim. I have my strengths and weaknesses, but I also won’t sit here and say that there aren’t other reasons I can’t climb. (Besides my crappy aim)

This can range from leavers, smurfs, lack of teamwork, people who won’t switch when a character isn’t working, etc. At the end of the day I can only focus on my gameplay and do the best I can to adapt to others, that doesn’t always mean it’ll allow me to climb.

Also i dont see him replying since his other post got deleted, its also probably good to assume he got some form of suspension as well, considering how toxic he got towards some people there

I love people who use the phrase “casual” because we all know they make bank playing OW. :clown_face:
Let me break it down for you, “casual” players are more in touch with reality because they know it is a game.
Whatever you think it is you are, you are in for a rude awakening.

I didn’t see but just had a scan of previous threads and seems to hold himself on a pedestal for being a diamond Dps lol. I’ve played in diamond ALOT and it’s definitely no reason to have an ego or look down on the opinions of lower ranked players.

I’m Casual but I still prefer the game to be balanced so that It’s fun to play

Oh its not on him being diamond, but he says that hes t500 constantly as well, which you know, a real t500 player wouldnt exactly brag with it but thats okay, but he does, he made it a point to point out that hes t500 in every other message he sent there, and if someone doubted him for a second he called them bad

Because good players are not, those who just try to showe in other people throat how they are better than them, even spamming it in chat, are non existant group of people.
There are narcistic people who are good or bad, same with being entitled. Usualy when you see smurf who is destroying everyone you can feel his attitude in chat towards “lesser creatures” that are in game with them.
