Not wanting to move up in rank

I have a problem. I’ve been in gold since season 3 and I love it. The way us gold players play is what brings me back to the game.

However I find myself moving up way to fast and when I get too about low plat things change. People are way more toxic and it makes the game unbearable to play.

In other words we should have an option to not move up in rank. Yeah some people may say play in qp but qp is a daycare.

Friend the players in Gold you enjoy playing with, rank up togethet

You’re asking to enable derankers (“smurfs”) even more basically.

I agree. The problem is you are obviously better than gold since you keep “ranking up too fast.” So you staying in gold is obviously not fair for everyone else in gold. Eventually the system gets everybody to the right place so the matches even out to 50-50.

I think the reality is that your skill ceiling is somewhere in gold. The reason you are finding low plat games toxic is because you aren’t carrying your weight and the team is expecting more from you and obviously they are frustrated.

At times our SR is way below where it should be and we can easily carry games. A low toxicity environment. At other times our SR is above where it should be and chance of toxicity is much greater.

I actually agree. 2400 to 2600 is no fun, but after that is good again

Coming from someone in gold? I wonder if you’ve ever played in plat before. It’s toxic even for smurfs 1000-1500 under their real SR lol.

Just play lucio and throw. No one will notice if anything people will just blame dps like the low ranks always do. I miss gold

How low can you go? Hide your profile and try and shame someone for being in gold. FYI this is about as low as I get and I have been in plat every season except for one where I was in diamond.

You mean how you are shaming the OP saying people are toxic towards him coz he sucks? Meanwhile, you’re in gold yourself. The irony. :roll_eyes:

You will eventually get trashtalked as you rank up because you aint as good anymore at a certain point. It’s unavoidable

However, the higher you go, the more people get upset about you not being able to perform well every game. It’s a thing you gotta deal with if you want to rank up. If not, well … i could just decay and play heros I’m not that good at but below dia … dunno how to without throwing games tbh.

Throwing is illegal and ruin games. So don’t do this.
Just fill, people will be happy you fill. Even if you suck on those they cant complain.

You like gold? What the hell man :smile:

Exactly what this guy said.

Yeah but it’s in capture the flag sooooooo.

ILLEGAL LULW, just play lucio and feed i mean thats how most golds play him ez derank

It’s not “illegal” if no one can ever notice. If you go lucio, only stay on heals, shoot half as much as normal, beat against random ults, and die 2nd or 3rd you will effectively lose rank without getting blamed

And you will still ruin games for others.

I am in gold for ages on this account without ever throwing one match.
Just filling is enough, to loose lots of games without throwing.
Don’t think all his tank/healer heroes skills are the same as his mains.
He also will learn to play more different heroes (use your account as a practice account until you low gold again), you can still do as best as you can on those heroes.
