In theory, sure, and I had considered this.
Tanks do carry, but I’d also say that I think lower elo players generally want to play what they feel like playing and not really what’s meta. That’s kinda what keeps a lot of players down.

I just won 4 games in a row, and then had completely worthless teams twice in a row and I’m back to where I was. It is a useless system.
1 out of 100? Bold claim there. You’d be surprised how easily people just give up or would rather spite their teammates than do something as simple as “switch off your triple countered hero youre hyperfeeding on” at lower elos.
Also don’t give me that “the enemy gets them too” crap, does not invalidate peoples stress of getting stuck with people like this on their team and telling them " you personally didnt try hard enough."

Who are you quoting? Has somebody ever actually told you that a Lucio jumping off a cliff was your fault?

You’re right, it happens to everyone, more than 1% of the time, but it isn’t enough to keep him at a rank he doesn’t belong.
Im not trying to “invalidate the stress of getting stuck with people like this”, im saying he’s wrong in blaming teammates for his inability to climb.
It’s a team game unless you can’t climb, then it’s 100% an individual game. DURRRR
Tanking really does suck tbh. There are far more restrictions on the role than the other two roles.
Right on the edge of gold after having a string of games where people actually kept up, and then I get a leaver and a weird game where nobody really did anything. That’s not how you gauge somebody’s skill level. It’s stupid.

there is nothing resembling meta play all the way up into low diamond. you just get good enough to carry
