its very low vs Golds/low plat. not to mention the amount of hours hes put in
i average close to 15k with cree and im not even a mccree main
No aptitude and too much pride lol
I can tell you that climbing to diamond is getting progressivly harder and harder no matter which hero you are playing. More alt accounts and most importantly people who absolutly dont care are making it a lot harder. Usualy you can get ok comps when you main support or tank. But playing dps these days is just horrible experience, people will blame you all the time and chance to get good comp 2 2 2 while you play dps is rarther rare. Practicaly every game starts as 4+ dps lately.
Tank role is big issue in this game. Below diamond where i play are wrong or non existen tanks cause of loss almost every time.
yes i agree, the games last 3 seasons ive played have been mostly really bad quality and the matchmaking seems like a total slot machine
u have alot of leavers, LOTS of smurfs and alot of toxic ragers
Hereās a question ā Forget what his rank is, and how many hours he spent in the game. Did you check to see how many wins each season he had?
Iāll be honest with you, my āMainā is one of those Diamond border āhard stuckā in gold/plat. Maybe heās like me and stopped caring about SR a long time ago, and is instead collecting golden guns. You can collect them in Diamond and above, OR you can collect them all the way down to Bronze where half of your wins and losses will be dependent on people who flat out donāt care, and the rest will be dependent upon which team gets the throwers and smurfs.
If youāre below Masters, can you actually brag about your rank? No. If youāve got 4k hours in the game and youāre not Masters+, you get made fun of, rank shamed, insulted, false reported constantly. Sure, being toxic is a choice, but itās also a reaction to something.
Just play the game, focus on your own goals. Who cares?
well its possible he stopped caring about SR when he realized he couldnt climb out of plat after such a long period of time
gee, itās almost like time played doesnāt equal raw talent

Because Dva is the easiest hero to feed on so itās not a good idea to main her if you want a high rank. 4k bombs are gonna boost you but not enough.
Playing supports you will understand the game better and climb higher IMO.
i agree but i love ashe so im hoping to climb with her, probably not the best choice
Whats wrong with having a plat or diamond boarder and being stuck in gold/plat area? ā¦ever think nit everyone becomes a master of all just from exerience? Look at my profile im darn proud of it i do well for me. I have things that hold me back like having essential tremmers in my hand (uncontrolable random shakingā¦no medicine for that sorry) and yet i love playing hit scans like mcgee, widow, asheā¦my fav hero is pharah but for ME to be in high gold low plat is dang good for what i go through. So before u start dlaming somone for having high lvl boarder but lower or same sr as u think of why they might thereā¦sometimes theres a good reason.

I think you definitely can! (Donāt get me wrong iāve climb from bronze to gold with her so iām no expert). But you can definitely carry a game on your shoulder with her ! 
If you canāt behave properly, Blizzard will not ban you for that. You will be matched with other trolls and trashtalkers, cursed forever to be stuck in Platinum and Diamond.
If you can behave well and have a positive attitude, know where to set up your Torbjƶrn turrets, then you are heading towards Grandmaster.
Respect for everyone who has a disability but they try their best.

im already gold so i wonder where ill get to:)
Thereās ten percent of the population that stays in diamond, donāt you think thereās a good reason for that? Itās definitely not because achieving diamond is āeasyā. Look, if youāre good enough to reach that or higher, awesome, kudos, but donāt go around telling everyone itās easy to achieve. Statistics donāt lie. I donāt mind people having a goal to achieve diamond, but mix that dream with a dose of reality, not a lot of people reside in diamond and it gets worse the higher you go up.

The reason people say diamond is an easy rank to get is because it isā¦ for people who played FPS games before. Itās just that a large majority of the playerbase (Iām assuming) havenāt dumped a ton of hours into other FPS games, or games in general. From my experience at least, the average rank player in Overwatch is much worse than the average rank player in CS:GO, in terms of general FPS skills.

Isnt this assuming that everyone can be diamomd+ what if plat is his plateau and he is never able to reach diamond based on his own skill?
I am going to let you in on a very dirty secret.
Bronze, silver, and gold are filled to the nines with silver and gold border players. A lot of those ānew accountsā are just smurfs accounts of washed up plat players in silver.
You know why there are tons of those players in those brackets? Simple that is all that is left queing comp. That is the dirty secret.
All those casual joe blows that used to play in sub 2000 SR are LOOOONNNNNGGGG gone.
Time spent playing a game does not directly correlate to high SR. There are (probably) diamond border players in bronze just as there are in every other rank.
