This is the greatest fallacy statement ever. Aim is relative to your competiton. Playing a non-aim character would help you if you played on PC with a controller against mouse users who would have an easier time aiming (I’m gonna just leave the mouse/controller debate alone for now). However, when everyone is using a controller… everyone has the same input issues with regard to aiming. Hence, playing characters that require less aiming mechanics to be effective is no difference between console and pc. It is relative and has no place in the discussion except to demean controller users.
Let me ask you something. How often do you win 5v6? Why does the community hate leavers so much. Because going 5v6 is near impossible because of the way matchmaking is done.
Having a bad player is fundamentally worst. Feeding ult charge and always being dead doesn’t help and puts your team at a severe disadvantage.
I’m not sure if you’ve ever played with a bronze player before. Like a true bronze player. They are soooo heavy. Even as a plat player, trying to carry a true bronze or silver player even in low gold is difficult. That is the level difference between trying to play with a gold player in a diamond game. You are better off with no one at all… which is why you fell all the way to gold when switching hands.
I think I’m at like 100 games on my alt. Still climbing. I don’t think I’d be climbing (or shouldn’t be) if I was severely missranked. Maybe get lucky and tread water…but climb? have a winning record? Do it over multiple metas… with a non-meta hero… combating throwers? I had to prove my worth every single game because I had to fight my team along with my enemy. No, sir. I earned that 3400 and the compliments I got along the way about how good my Symm play was.
However, on a “low impact” hero (whatever that means, elitist much?) or where you play a supportive role to your team… if the team is poor and doesn’t play into your advantages (at any rank) then the team will fall.
Have you ever played with a real smurf? Smurfs lose. Support smurfs lose even more then dps smurfs.
I climbed originally out of silver and into plat when I found Symm becauss of how great the character was in filling the gaps left by underperforming teammates. Bad tank? Barrier helped us survive and get in chokes with my hidden TP. Bad healers? SG gave my team the extra health they needed. Lacking DPS? I microwaved the team. But off the point… It wasn’t lack of aiming that helped me rise with Symm… it was leveraging her utility to have a high impact on the team. It didn’t show in stats, because being a good symm was about making the right plays, not filling the leaderboard. Great plays are high impact… so I’m not exactly sure what you mean by mercy and Symm being low impact… when before a month ago, mercy was almost unanimously the highest impact support in the game.
ASymmPalLife - Not that it will do you any good since the profile is private… Nor is viewing my profile relevent except for those that doubt I’m telling the truth… not that even those people would believe it is even my account unless I go through all the hassel to create a bliz account just to post on the forum… So yeah, knock yourself out.
