So I haven’t posted in a few weeks and at this point I feel I’m being honeydicked no matter which roll I run I always get bronze and I’ve improved a lot I don’t main healer anymore I just play all roles I’m not understanding that if kills matter so much how 20+ a game as tank or 48+ as dps or even almost 30+ as healer is not worthy of at least gold I know I need to be able to always do this but for how long? I just did 6 brig gee tuh games and had them all 27+ or more kills yet I go from bronze 2 to 3 like clarely that ranking system is rigged because at this point there is no reason I can’t be gold I’m not asking or saying I’m grandmaster worthy but I am damn sure gold worthy.
Please understand that I want to be the best but that’s hard to do when I’m being held back for no good reason.
I hit the rank diamond 2 on my main role and then immediately after the teammates I start getting are people who have not recieved ranks plat 5s lower and even people in bronze. The matchmaking has recently gone to hell and even after the updates it seems to have made this game worse.
For ranks below platinum it is a myth that this games is about kills. It is really about staying alive. A gold player is much better at staying alive than a bronze player. Focus on that and your rank will improve. Every time you die there is a lesson to be learnt. And no, it is not the healers fault.
but it an avg of 6 deaths a game good though?
It’s about the plays you do. Doesn’t matter if you’re getting kills at inopportune times. I don’t mean to be offensive – and try taking this as an advice: I could probably carry a game with Sombra or Tracer without a single kill, in Bronze.
This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be trying to get kills, but the point is, making the best plays are what’s important for you to win. Get those kills when it matters, stay alive and definetely play the objective i.e push the payload/cart and protect or lure enemies away from the point.
Yeah, I basically cant even throw/troll my way down into bronze. Just existing is enough to get into gold/platinum. I am always surprised when people say they are stuck in bronze because its a no effort escape. I am more than willing to duo with you in your bronze rating if we can even play together. Would be fun.
yeah that sounds fun also maybe you could coach me? or send me in the direction to find one please.
Kills do not rank you up. The only thing that ranks you up is winning the game. If you want gold, you have to win more games.
Every fight, think through what you could have done to win that fight. Do this every single time you lose a fight. After figuring out what 1 thing you are doing wrong that wins you 1 more fight per game, you will climb to gold. Keep doing that.
Thing, I just died there, where could I have been to do the same healing/damage, but not take the same damage?
That person just died and I didn’t have my ability… when did I use that ability? Should I have used it then?
You simply just need to keep doing htis over and over. I’d also recommend practicing your aim.
thats another thing i was wondering i cant figure out to get into custom workshop games that way i can practice with something better then practice range some days my aim is extremely great and other days you would think im a - 5 bronze player with my aim lol.
Lol I’m technically a high Plat/low Diamond support but I can’t even get back into plat. I literally lost 2 games and won 5 and it DERANKED me from Gold 2 to Gold 3. Wtf.
IDK where you are getting your stats. There are plenty of issues with rank, but it’s not entirely the match maker’s fault. There are smurf accounts, there are people playing off roles, there are people having good days, there are people having bad days, there are two big of an MMR spread, etc… but we will never know because they hide our ranks and most of you are to scared to make your profile public so we don’t have that data either. They also basically reset MMR every single season because each hero changes how well they do. A strong pick that carried someone, like a tank playing Orisa or a DPS playing Sojourn, might cause them to fall next season because they massively nerfed them. On tank I was close to masters and on DPS I was barely diamond. Now I’m barely diamond on tank but masters on DPS.
