While that may be true, that essentially like saying a an College football player could tackle an NFL player. It means nothing once, but do it a few times a game tgen try to make terrible points. 
My biggest problem with gold is the amount of disconnects I run into it. I was playing at diamond and people would rage quit but it was very very rare. Now I feel like its every other match either one of my teammates leave or one of the enemy do. Gold is generally terrible and the amount of syms running around in it donât help when no one seems to know how to play against her.
I am in low gold as DPS and I have played only a few games after my placements and I will say that people rage quit all the time. It seems like people just throw darts at a board and pick it and you lose because people usually are pretty bad.

I got out of gold solo queuing. I climbed to diamond with a buddy. Now I am just a plat player.
Oh, and nice name considering the player youâre ripping off is on a Overwatch League team.

This guy understands gold tier , these are the kind of people i want to interact with because they are experiencing . DCs in gold tier are too much that we consider them as normal .
GMs place diamond-master on new accounts when tryharding, not gold. This wasnât an MMR reset. This was a bug.

Iâll tell you, what are they afraid of. They have to grind THREE ladders to get out of gold now. Gold*3 - too much even for a GM.

Solo queued. Before RQ, seasons were typically low gold â one being a pain that caused a temporary drop to silver from a losing streak.
Support SR is close to diamond currently. Getting out of gold solo is very real.
What i am more worried about:
They made some adjustments to improve a bad system, that already placed to many accounts (off) roles faulty.
So i assume, working as a software engineer myself, should be tested real well, since it already went live bad a couple of times.
And then we got this very big, easy to test(see) bug???
Also in the past whenever someone complained about the gold elo, so the big difference in skill between players in gold. And that they had to carry almost every game at least 1 player who should not be in gold. But mostly even like 4 or 5 players that didnât know basics. Feeding constantly, running in alone, tanks on attack with a broken W key. etcâŚ
They always got the replay: if you cant carry 4-5 dummy players to a win you deserve to be in that rank. I can climb out of gold easily with feeding team members They are the same level as you, if you are better you should be able to carry them and climb etcâŚ
(not saying this wasnt possible(i did it myself too), but it was damn hard, you needed lots of luck with games that had descent enough team members in a row, and lots of time to farm/grind games.
Now, because of the bug, high rank players actually had to carry 4 or 5 bad players too. Why for them this is a bug? And for all those people who are complaining about having to climb, while in lots of games they also had to carry 4 or 5 bad players, it is bad skill/not good enough?
Let them farm back to the top, like so many stuck in gold players had to do.
With lots of bad games with real stupid(no game knowledge) people you have to carry. With all the leavers, trolls, throwers and toxic people.
Yeah, for solo q players RQ is a bliss. Not for misplaced pro players.
The thought of Emongg in gold is sad
I played a game with a compression. The compression essentially put bronze in low gold and T500 in high plat. It took over three months to get our first GMs (top 1% tier). T500 would initially be diamond in such a scenario.
Note that was a compression. A full reset (everyone has default mmr) is much more insane and would take way longer to sort out.

I climbed out of gold in one evening on my alt. 
Yes but this argument cant be really used for anyone who is in his true rank. You were already higher on your main. So while he is gold player trying to climb from gold, you are idk diamond player trying to climb from gold. And thats something different. Yes it shows climbing is totaly possible, sure. I am just saying its much harder for someone who is not smurfing.

True. Climbing on my main is slow. Not quite diamond.

Eh, I can easily climb out of gold on support. Iâd find it a bit harder on tank or damage, as support is my best role, but Iâd still manage it since Iâve done it before a couple of times and spent most of my time playing in plat and more recently, diamond.
