I’ve been playing for awhile. I first ranked at silver, then didn’t take the game seriously at all… after years, now wanting to take it more seriously, it feels like I’m stuck.
Wondering if we can spread some knowledge here. There’s so much information out there it can be difficult to isolate a definitive answer.
First, I recently just won all 5 placement matches for support… Got POTG for 3 of them… and still ranked under 800sr (Yes gold in healing too). Should I be getting 40 elims per match or something? I’m on fire all the time.
Sorry don’t have more specific info.
Could my MMR be that low?
Am I stuck or is it all in my head?
Should I buy a new account?
It feels like I’m caught between either carrying or just goofing around…
When is MMR effected?
Should I take every single game seriously whether it’s qp, custom, or…?
I understand skill is a factor… and I’m definitely not plat… but I could beat my way out of silver with some hard practice. Problem is, I feel like I’m swimming in a sea of bronze.
Any useful insight outside of what’s already readily available out there? If my first ranking was silver, wouldn’t one be hardpressed to say I couldn’t hit silver again 2 years later?
I’m not so sure I believe in elo hell… but those around me play notably terribly. I genuinely, to the best of my observation, feel like I’m caught between two points.
-
I either tryhard and win 5 out of 8 matches and go nowhere… or I just goof around with friends.
-
I buy a new copy of the game and start over.
If I did decide to start over… what contributes to MMR? Everything? So I should always be competitive never goofing off?
I meed a higher rank. I’m not 750SR… I understand you should just accept it… but I genuinely feel conflicted.
