If you’re the best bronze player in the games you’re in, and you’re still losing, what you are experiencing is called “handicapping,” or more commonly known among Overwatch players as the forced 50% winrate. It is explained here : Algorithmic Handicapping (MMR) is Wrong for Overwatch
They seriously need to get rid of this because each game is constantly a coin flip, and the more games you win, the more you get stuck with the worse players out of the 12 players who were matched into the game as you.
yet if Defran picked up that account today he would miraculously be able to climb, so the computer knows when op is playing the account and when defran is, and when defran plays it shuts off the handicap but when op plays it turns it on?
Furthermore, there’s an obvious consistency in the sort of people that tell you to take responsibility for your games, your wins and your losses (people in Dia, Mast, GM)
And the people that tell you the matchmaking is rigged, smurfs ruin the game, and it’s impossible to climb (Bronz, silv, gold)
I myself, reached 50 SR off masters, after starting in silver and have climbed 4 entire ranks to tell you this is literally how it is
There are smurfs in every rank
There are throwers in every rank
Matchmaking is NOT rigged
There WILL be easier and harder games, don’t let this fool you into thinking you’re either doing good or doing bad, but continuously assess your own performance and most importantly, LEARN BY YOUR MISTAKES
“Not good enough” is a load of bull, I have had 50+ Elims, Gold damage, Gold Objective time… yadda yadda, as a HANZO, yeah position is bad if I have to move the payload or whatever, sure, but that is how it is in Bronze, you have to do things you are not meant to do. That is why it is impossible to climb, skill has very little to do with it. There is no communication, there is no coordination… skill is like some myth in Bronze. I can do my job as a Hanzo, get kills, but if my tanks or healers are in positions where they get picked off easily, or whatever, and they do not listen to me about their position, and I lose, then “git gud” is NOT. THE. PROBLEM. At all.
I ignore stats because they’re really not reflective of your skill. If they add up over your whole career even if you play like a boss you’re still gonna have your noob phase in the bank
