Then you haven’t “played comp” this season with just 4 hours of playtime either, and your entire point about reaching GM in recent history is irrelevant.
Unless of course you’re going to try to decide when the standards you set do and do not apply again. You’ve done that a lot recently.
The fact that she was duoing with such a person isn’t relevant to the conversation. You mocked them for “needing a man to duo with”.
Duoing with specifically that kind of person while knowing who they really are? Sure, you can criticize them for that. Criticizing them for duoing in general when you did the same thing to reach 3900? That’s hypocritical.
This is a false statement, shown by one of the aforementioned quotes from yourself:
“Then season 6 I duo’d with another mercy main and we won 9 games in one day and I got to 3900”
Of course it wasn’t, after the rework went live.
Then we can just default back to your prior assertion about playtime and ask, “Does playing for a mere 7 hours really mean you maintained your rank?”
Is that “do not currently play comp with me,” or simply “do not play comp with me”?
Because you have played with Agxnt in competitive:
“I was playing comp with my friend Agxnt”
This was said in February of 2019. Remember when you said you’ve been in solo-queue since you reached 3800? Yeah, that’s a lie.
Then allow me to dispel any doubt by saying that my season 4 winrate on Mercy was 55% over 67 hours of playtime.
You don’t want me to respond to this, because it’ll just be a block quote from my megapost.
Yes, she was. I was “asked” to switch off on a regular basis. Not nearly as much as season 3, but it was still quite common.
Then being “One of the worst” when there are only 3 healers who aren’t “one of the worst” isn’t really saying anything either.
Didn’t you just post something in the Discord showing that Mercy has the second highest high-tier/OWL support pickrate?
Not season 5. I hated that season. I never said that anything was viable in season 4. Season 4 was by far my favorite season because it was a fluid meta; that doesn’t mean that certain heroes weren’t throw-picks (Torbjorn, Symmetra), or that others were not inherently sub-optimal or the worst of their role (Mercy). But if there’s any question about it, I also had a 54% winrate in season 3 (when Mercy was an outright throw-pick) over 46 hours of playtime.
And I can guarantee that I could have easily reached 4600 back in season 6 if I wanted to; the same season in which you just barely managed to reach GM before its end.
But I got bored of the now brain-dead character, so I guess we shall never know.
And that damage amp “bug”.
Are you seriously trying to pretend that 10 HPS isn’t a lot?
Season 9? I was playing with/against pros in season 4, before you even “played Competitive”. I didn’t need a broken iteration of Mercy to play with the big leagues. I was there by my own merits.
Gale, Valkia, Kephrii, Dafran, Fodder. Name someone who played professionally and regularly played in ladder on NA servers in seasons 4-6, and I’ve probably played with/against them. A pro player in my game wasn’t an uncommon occurrence in the slightest; the fact that you think it’s an achievement worth flaunting is more telling about yourself than anything else.
I solo-queued my way from 2700 to 4200, and I didn’t need a Mercy meta to do it.
No, you solo-queued your way from 3850 to GM this season. You finished your last placed season (season 19) at 3849. You have 17 wins this season and 5 losses for a net of being up 12 games from wherever your starting location was, which means you are up about 300 SR from your starting point (assuming 50% winrate in placements). You are 4142 right now, which means you started at about 3850.
Then you might want to stop telling half-truths.
If you don’t want the validity of your rank questioned, then don’t question mine. Simple.
