I’m just saying, nothing is going to stop me from achieving something I’ve been working so hard to get to since I got the game.

Great. Now you can come into plat and find out that it’s the same garbage games as gold but tougher.

Road to top 1 like me I see…
Do you play on EU servers by the way?
No, American servers.
Good luck with the last stretch.
If you think Gold is the final boss…
You are dead wrong.
Shame, I am looking for a duo partner. Good luck with your climb this season. And remember the golden rule: Elo hell is a myth created by trashcan players with delusions of grandeur. If you’re actually good, you will climb.

You know what. That’s is not entirely true. Even if you are a grand master player, you will still suffer more than normal if your team is countered hard, trolling, or just doing really awful.
The idea is that on average you can carry games until it evens out.
This will happen to you as much as your opponents, you’re the only constant factor. That means that at the end of the day you’re the reason for why you’re in a rank.

I agree that good players will eventually climb, but elo hell isn’t a myth. It is pretty hard to climb out of certain sr’s. I feel like when we’re 100 off of the next rank the game puts us in a limbo that’s really hard to get out of. I’ve experienced this in 2400s and I’m experiencing it in 2900s. Of course if I believe that once I am playing at a mid-high diamond level I will eventually carry myself out.

So you’re basically saying that you feel like you’re stuck in a rank, because you’re not good enough to climb out of it, but once you do get better, you can climb out of it. I mean…That’s exactly my point. If you can’t climb out of a rank (SR bracket in your case) that means you belong there, until you get better. It might feel like hell, but it isn’t, you’re just not good enough.

Good luck dude, but don’t be discouraged when you inevitably have a big SR drop.
Every time I’ve had a big climb and jumped tiers, I always hit a derank streak and give back at least half the SR I gained. I then have to slowly win it back and hang out in the new tier for a bit before I can climb again.
That’s at least been my pattern from plat > dia > masters (haven’t gotten GM yet, but been within 2 games many many times.) Maybe you’ll have a smoother progression then me, but my experience seems to be typical.

It’s wonderful that you’re climbing. However, Platinum is nothing but insta-lock DPS and Genji or Tracer smurfs. You should also get used to everyone telling you to pick Healer/Tank because everyone’s already locked in and won’t switch. Good luck, though.

You know what I never got when I was still hard stuck in low plat? That everyone says this, but it was never as bad as I remember. Sure, there were insta-lock DPS, but honestly I would see insta-lock support almost as often. It was never a big deal for me.
Like I said climbing is possible, but we seem to have different idea of what elo hell is. There’s a lot more toxicity and throwers in that space in between ranks. So I’m saying that for example 2400-2600 is way more volatile than the others. Instead of the game having a natural progression you have to get out of that before your sr becomes stable again. Like in gold I’ve always been 2200-2400 and now in plat i’m in 2700-2900 because that’s just where it tends to stabilize. I imagine in diamond the stable zone is 3200-3400. So for me to climb to diamond I’m at least a skill level of 3200 sr+
