I finally reached grandmasters

Competitive Discussion
1

I kinda quit playing OW1 the last couple of szn’s and came back mid szn 1 OW2 (got placed gold). Since then
i’ve been focussing on getting to grandmasters on support and i finally did in season 2:))

it’s still so crazy to me that there’s plenty of people saying that you can’t climb due to the mmr being worse in OW2 than it was in OW1. I call this complete BS. I still think the reason people are complaining under this discussion is to shift the blame from their own mistakes to their teammates. People are too stubborn to realize that they actually deserve the rank they are in and will only climb if they improve on their mistakes. (This is just my opinion)

With this thread i simply want to encourage you to start looking what you did wrong and what you could improve on to climb out of your rank you’re currently in! :smiley:

If you have any questions I’ll be happy to answer them!

I also made a topic about a year ago on how i reached masters. listed here: Guys i've finally reached masters

You understand how big of a step up in skill that is right?

Not even remotely the same as going from silver to gold.

I’ve read a lot, but it seems like rank is based on win/loses? In that case it’s a horrible rating since in my first games in comp I’ve been grouped with people that are clearly above my lvl and it makes the game no fun other than social with friends as I don’t want to be the person draging my team down, I’m still learning, and should be grouped with other players at my skill rank (which I don’t even have yet) than players way above.

Epic survivorship bias my dude. I’m sure lottery winners think they’re exceptionally gifted at buying tickets, too.

I’ll give you a masters dps account. Climb it to GM for me since it’s all luck and is easy. I guarantee you will lose every single game without fail.

Actually I can put it in masters for any role.

I’ll offer this to you too. You genuinely have no idea the skill disparity between masters and GM. It’s pretty exceptional.

You talking to me? Sure, I’ll take a masters dps account. Cheers.

the first few matches are always above your normal rank. Atleast that my experience. They’re trying to look what rank suits the best for you so they probably also place you in higher ranked games to see if u do good in those games.

“I want to encourage everyone to group with people who help you rank up or install cheats to get to higher tiers”

Link to your overwatch profile?

You’re wrong but if you actually pulled it off solo q’ing, crazy.

16

Nice and in the same amount of time I finally got into a CTF queue.

I guess both are equally trivial things when the game is rigged fake and ded.

17

my profile is open :slight_smile: also i indeed did everything solo. I have some friends that are dia but i only play dps or tank with them

Name on overbuff to watch my stats: Rambo-14952

Can you tell me how did you get good aim?

I have decent aim, good enough to play Widowmaker consistently, but it’s not good enough. I’m still missing quite a bit of easy shots. So I’m wondering how to make my aim better.

19

I mean not all GM players have good aim but to answer your question on getting good aim you just aim train. Hit up the aimlabs/kovaaks for 15 minutes a day and you’ll see improvement within a few weeks

Thank you for the reply and transparency.
