I mean if you used to be in bronze but climbed to gold or plat you will still have some memories of how all the ranks along the way played. I was bronze like 2 years ago and recently reached diamond on tank and am play on all other roles. I do still remember how it was to play at the other ranks vaguely. Bronze: feedingf teammates, no regrouping, having to solo carry. Silver: slightly better at regrouping but trying to force synergies they don’t know how to play and also being all over the place. Gold: a bit more cooperative, but still struggling to make coordinated pushes, still sometimes struggling against bunker comps with bastion in OW1. Maybe my memories are a bit off but we’ll, I’ve experienced it all. Fair and square.
Edit: grammar

It’s not going to be like that now though, at least not at the moment since everyone seems to be placing in bronze. After I placed bronze 1 I was asking in chat peoples OW1 rank and they were all gold/plat same as me.
I’ve already had throwers… so I’m not sure about that one.
Who throws on day 1 though…

I am in bronze and everybody is tracking like GODS, like real pro gamers, and I have 25% accuracy on a good very day with Bastion. Something is not right.

Yeah that is weird. My games have aim gods in them.
They wouldn’t waste the time monitoring what you do with your personal data on your account, because it doesn’t make them any $$$ and monitoring it would create a financial liability. So, YOU may think it looks suspicious, Blizzard thinks it’s a waste of money.
There’s a whole ton of people who own smurfs in bronze with their main accounts in gold, plat, diamond, master, etc. You were probably up against people who were testing the new ranking system either before or after they already placed on their main accounts.
the old system MADE smurfs. Here is my story.
Buy game. play a little, and decide to play comp. Place Bronze. OK fair I dont know what I am doing. Try to climb, feels very hard to do. Place bronze again and again. Get frustrated and buy new account, it places me in mid Plat. So when I go back to original account guess what, it still places me in bronze. Once you have a bad placement its hard to climb. We decided to have fun on my original account and we actually got it to Silver, then we played with the number 5 ranked Winston on American server and guess what, we lost games with him on our team, enemy teams also had GM smurfs.
The whole smurf thing makes me mad but I wasnt a true smurf on my original account since I was trying hard to win. Just felt like the system was locking me in. Then I realized the right day and time to play that it seems like smurfs were not on, SO Sigma was a new hero, I decided to learn him IN comp for fun and I climbed about 1500 SR because I was playing at the right time and day.
