If you are gold and climb to plat you prob deserve to be gold, stop blaming, teammates, smurfs, throwers, otps the problem is you nothing else. Just start focusing on your own gameplay and you will be fine. If you really want to climb you will, it takes time.

Yes, I can’t agree more with you.

This is fallacious.
Smurfs, throwers, griefers, and toxic players are real and prevalent issues in Overwatch that absolutely do affect a player’s ability to climb.
Just because you haven’t had issues with them doesn’t mean nobody has.

Hey there! I want you to buy a new acct find a bronze buddy and then carry him to diamond then tell me that both throwers, cheaters, and smurfs are not a problem. After that rethink your post

How can you deserve to be in gold if you are mid platinum?
“If you are bronze, you deserve to be out of this game”?
Am I doing this right?
But yeah, if you really want to climb, you will. Takes time definitely.

Did you mean to say “and can’t climb to plat”?

you’re right, everyone gets games where people leave/throw etc so it’s what you do with the other games that counts the most.
I get people leaving in at least one game every time I play, but I have a 70% win percentage on Lucio this season over like 20 games or something (with him), so I’ve climbed up to diamond. It can be done and anyone who blames everything else going on around them is just making excuses.
On the other hand I can’t climb on tank because I suck, so I’m stuck in gold on that role. I know it’s down to me though. My tank games feel impossible, my support games are often a breeze. That’s down to my performance and how good I am in those games.

And the people to respond so far are showcasing exactly why they can’t climb: They blame something everyone has to deal with. YET PEOPLE HAVE STILL MANAHE TO CLIMB FROM THE BOTTOM TO THE TOP OVER the seasons.
Almost like throwers/smurfs/leaves *aren’t why you can’t climb because your more likely to get throwers/leavers on the enemy team than yours…unless you’re one of the thrower/leaves.
THE ONLY REASON YOU CAN’T CLIMB IS YOU

I think that you can call yourself for example gold, if you climb into it in solo q and you are comfortable there, not struggeling.
Im sorry but this is bs, rank system that only grants you points by wins makes no sense because most of the time youll be matched with bad players with whom you cant win.
Im a Mercy main who in 210 games has 2 million and 200k healing done and 1668 players ressurected and im still in damn silver…

Look at my stats and tell me I belong in silver.

This is nonsense. You are matched most of the time with people at you skill level.
You are definitely silver support. Your res and healing numbers doesnt matter. Its not indication of someone who should be higher.

My performance gets me gold medals in almost all games I play… hence gold equals silver according to you two.
