I used to experience that until I realized that’s it’s not the matchmaker.
I focused on being more consistent and I started to climb.
I hit a new peak and realized that improving my aim a bit could go a long way.
I climbed a bit more.
Now it comes down to making EVEN LESS personal mistakes and better aim to climb again.
When I was stuck blaming the matchmaker I never climbed because I assumed I didn’t need to improve because I was too busy blaming my teammates which I can’t control.
No wonder GMs do bronze to GM so easily, they have the skills to pay the bills.
Learning that climbing was a personal skill issue because my teammates are essentially bots (in terms of I can’t control anything they do)
I’ve never been better or higher ranked since that realization.
Let go of the copium and join me on the other side.
Do not leave us in suspense, you climbed from where to where after all that self reflection? I need to see the results to figure out if it is worth the effort.
It is all relative. If I already accepted a certain amount of personal responsibility that you have not, it would literally do nothing for me. Or it would make the entire difference for me and I do not even realize it. Yes, other people are cringe. But ThiccBuddha would never rank shame you.
Thing I’ve noticed is that new accounts, or playing on servers with a large player base, tend to rank up more easily. You’re not imagining it. At some point you’ll realize that matchmaking (MM) is rigged. Just play without thinking too much about it. Do not focus on visible rank, just play it like QP.
