You do realize new accounts have way more dynamic MMR than old accounts right?

Glad someone find some inspiration from this kind of videos, I won’t say the last season I played (guess is 3 or even 4 ago) I was stuck in high gold / low plat due smurfs or similar things.
Still I am completely against smurfing.
To me competitive bring only frustration and toxicity. So I prefer to stay out of it since don’t wanna drag anyone down with my dark humor on the matter and let him/her enjoy the way he/she play the game 
I will have a look on this ''road to gm ‘’ videos to check If I will find a last spark of will to go competitive again but I doubt it.
But only if the system thinks it was not a fair matchup.
I was in a premade group where the highest guy 2.1K while the lowest was 1200. When we lost the lowest sr guy lost 25 sr what is pretty much the avarage penalty you get maybe a bit more. The system set up an even 50/50 match so when she lost it was handled that way like it was an even match.
Not like this really matters here, becausr the devs wont give out the details how their system works we are pretty much arguing about the color of the sky. Its entirely pointless because none of us can prove hes right and none of us will without datamining blizzard. Its pretty much conspiracy theory vs cospiracy theory.
Super inspiring seeing how a dude that is already GM is bullying and smurfing his/her way up to people that in a realistic scenario have no skill or means to face that threat.
Yeah, I wish i could improve so much that instead of fighting people of equal skill I could bully everyone under my rank and mock them to entertain viewers and get money.
Amazing goals.

I mean, kabaji is still stick in diamond 12+ episodes later in his unranked to GM flex only series
There’s no such thing as elo hell. True. But people in general are nicer to streamers than your average teammates.
However, if you watch them,you’ll be sure that the streamer shotcalls entire match which is missing from your average games as well.
I’m pretty sure mechanically speaking, a gm is probably 10% better but they use covers/movements more efficiently than your average plat players. But they don’t miss key shots (i can’t hit one shot on a rezing mercy for example to finish her off).
SR is performance based. If you are a silver Rein player. The game will match you with people it thinks you are evenly matched against. If you then perform to a much higher standard than the average Rein at silver, you will be favoured by the SR system - win or lose.
Not to mention the fact that you are more likely to win since the player is apparently a much higher rank than the system thinks he is.

No. He’s not flexing on that. He’s playing genji only.
AH yeah I’m thinking of kragie actually (can you blame me?), he was level 60+ on a smurf and ended up giving up on the series because he was hardstuck lmao.
He said he would work on it as a youtube series playing off stream claiming the reason he was stuck was that he was being streamsniped but that was last month and i dont see any videos on his YT

The painful conclusion we all come to eventually.
The wording in “unranked to GM” is misleading IMO. You can have a fresh account and placed in GM. That’s going from unranked to GM is it not?
Now what about people with a fresh account and do their best to place in bronze or at least as low as possible then clime to GM? This IMO is a violation of the rules. You’re a GM person on a fresh account and throw to place as low rank as possible. These people should have their alts and main accounts banned IMO.

This is a big lie. You can’t carry a match unless you are 1k + SR.
If you are 2600 SR you are not carrying a 2000 SR gold match and you are not carrying a 3000 Match. This Streamers GM or top500 can carry cuz they are 2k SR+ over that.
You still forcing to play what is needed etc. Most of the players go instant Mccree thinking they can carry a game and no no no that will never happen unless you put on your Mccree 200 hours of FFA and at least 150 hours of ana-bots practice
I think there are a lot of players who have a desired sr and can’t be bothered to give it 100% or play new characters when they get too high. I am one of them. Tried bronze to low plat. But I want to hover around 1900 sr. More varied, easier games, less toxicity etc. I just have more fun there. If there are many people like me, then elo hell DOES exist.
I look to those streamers to report them. If they started low they obviosuly threw to get there

and the same happens on the other side, you can absolutely blame the enemy team for winning (you win) just as often, so in my book that cancels out and is therefore near irrelevant

would be more inspiring if there main was like plat or something and continued to get better.
if your top 500 going back to that rank isnt hard. nothing really inspiring about it. just ruining games to be honest.
maybe if they do mercy only then maybe but yea. not hard and cant be in elo hell if ur better than everyone in the lobby.
but if u think about it. elo hell should be like top 500 since they want to be number 1 but cant due to low progress of sr gains and big losses.

Yeah, but I’m not talking about people who just got the game. I’m talking about the level 1000s hardstuck in Plat that say I’m in elo hell, but when you watch the streams you can see that they just need to git gud.
If someone who is not gm does it, i love it, he or she is actually trying to get better, it is fun. But a t500 who does it all i see is a player fighting against bots nothing inspiring about that. what is inspiring about a t500 that probably abused the mmr system to give them a low rank. whats fun in seeing a t500 destroy players who dont understand the game. Best part they do blame teammates as well, most of the time so idk what ur saying about elo hell and them not using excuses as team mates. I dont like seeing someone play in a rank they dont belong in using heroes they are insane with on their rank.
They throw in six stacks lol. Evveryone knows this. And thats only bronze to GM challenges. You’ve never seen an unranked to GM stream before have you?
You cant place GM. Highest you can place is low Masters.
LOL. You’ve never seen them? If its for twitch views they never q with others. Kabaji did one genji only, solo. Leprechan did his eleventh, solo. A while back, Stevo did a Bronze to GM challenge solo. There are MUCH more than the ones I’ve seen as well.
