Ok guys I’m doing placements for the 10th season in row, I’m Plat border level 2080 with 22 golden guns unlocked. Ok so yeah I was terrible at this game season 1 - 3 but then I learnt most of the maps and lots of hero’s. How come in all my placements I’m getting players like 2000 levels lower than me in my games I’m not saying they are bad just that game knowledge and timing goes a long way to winning a game in Overwatch. I don’t understand how a level 2k plus player can get match with 5 players all under level 50 seems a bit silly.
love RIz, played the game every night for 2 years no days off 
not everybody has that much time. I have about 370 hours in total, but still know all maps in and out. Dont judge skill by time played.

You surely have good map knowledge and good game knowledge but it seems (looking at your overbuff) that your mechanical skills are not there. The game cant tell if your low because of ur mechanical skills or game knowledge. Hence u are likely to be put with players that have a better aiming skill but bad positioning with you that has a better game knowledge but poor aim. Makes sense ?
Out of curiosity are you sure your mouse sensitivity is correctly set ?
Cheers!
My ingame sense is 5.6 using a razer deathadder mouse my problem isn’t my rank its the fact I keep getting placed in matches with players hundreds if not thousands levels lower than me with hardly any gametime and no game knowledge why do we have a 6vs6 game which doesn’t take level/gametime into consideration in its matchmaking.
Agreed, I see level 500+ players in Gold and Platinum. Obviously the more you play will help you get better, but it isn’t the only factor as to how skilful someone is going to be.
Level =/= rank. You’re in bronze. Of course you will be paired with low levels because they are new at the game and therefore in bronze just like you.
It’s funny when you see people start the blame game when you lose and it’s always in this order:
First to be blamed is off meta picks, because those heroes are just traps setup by Blizzard apparently to catch throwers…
Second anyone who is higher player level than you, especially with cool looking borders, because “I’ve been playing game for half as long as you and am the same rank means your terrible” (doesn’t matter if the cool border guy is literally the only one getting picks or not).
Last to be blamed are the people playing on meta but fail to do their role effectively, such as 76, Tracer or Genji’s who can’t quite get kills or tanks who think they are playing 76, Tracer or Genji.
No offense, but maybe instead of blaming the system for putting you with low levels (meaningless in ranked BTW), you should try and learn from them instead. Because while your extended experience is keeping you at your rank, some of them are there only because they are new, and eventually will climb.
Well I’m a support main with nearly 1k hours on lucio I cant stop players from chasing kills and leaving the team 4 v 6 when your back up heals are another sniper Ana followed by a widow and a zen how is this correct. Yeah 3 sniper players one round no muscle on payload lost game… I’m not making excuses but really 3 snipers I guess I’m just being trolled because I have 22 golden guns and more hours then most on your mains.
