Because you CANNOT carry in overwatch. The game is so team based and the system is flawed, i truly believe there should be avoid play 100+, ill sit in que and wait to not be paired with people not taking competitive seriously, it is named COMP for a reason, this is not a casual place to play that’s QP. I played a game last night in placements (see stats below) and the game still resulted in a loss. Keep in mind this is my 3rd account. Regardless if yiure destroying and still lose because of your “team” that doesn’t feel good. Comp needs a rework and the seagull video is correct on many points. When did blizz start ignoring the community… they should learn from diablo mobile and the huge backlash and start listening and addressing the issues or prepare for more stock drops pissed investors and community.

They also need to start banning people who throw.
And by throwers I mean specifically people who purposely feed the enemy by trying to 1v6, killing themselves, Mei walling their team specifically to counter ults (like when a Mei walls off a Rein during shatter, or blocks a Dvs Bomb or a Meteor Strike etc.)
Blizzard needs to come up with a better report system because innocent people get banned and silenced every day simply because people want to restrict your enjoyment of the game and NOT because you actually did anything wrong.
it gets very frustrating when people do not communicate, do not coordinate and your whole team suffers when you have to “play around” someone because they refuse to do whats best for their team regardless of how many medals they have etc etc.
Seagulls video wasn’t about not being able to rank up, in fact seagull himself would tell you to get good. Pretty funny how people will gladly misinterpret anything to fit their own narrative
Here is the problem though. A player who is already at a high tier because they One-trick, who deranks and them climbs, or uses a fresh acount with their MAIN hero that is already Master skill…is NOT a legitimate test of the MMR system. They have already been deemed (and wrongfully so) as a higher skill player so thats what the system reads automatically. Any of those videos are completely horse crap.
If they took someones account who has been in Gold for 10 seasons who has been on the verge of busting out of Gold and into Plat, they would have a MUCH harder time of it because the MMR does not match their actual skill set.
What are you talking about, my post wasn’t even about that? Did you even read it.
But give me a console account that’s been “hardstuck” then, I’ll climb out of it just as easily as I would if I let one of my accounts drop
Again, seagull himself would tell you to get good, just as he’s told people before when they tell him they’re stuck and can’t climb

I don’t really care what Seagull says. He and others like him are completely selfish playing multiple accounts and circumventing the design of the system. They are stubborn and not willing to play for the benefit of the team unless they form a 6 stack that works around their one trick hero. That is not how the system was designed to work. The top 500 is full of people who only play 1 hero for maybe 15 hours a season, and people like me devote 100-200+ hours a season, flexing and performing as good as if not better on MORE heros than a top 500 players, and still we get nowhere. Its a completely flawed system and it is being exploited for that flaw in favor of the minority and not the majority.
And Blizzard is just as guilty for allowing this happen, and allowing players to circumvent the system based on making more money from microtransactions across the board from all players who have multiple accounts.
it also adds to ban and suspension evasion which is a violatioon of the CoC and EULA anyway which is very hypocritical on Blizzards part. People who are suspended or silenced should stay that way across the board.
The git gud comment and mindset is old. There are major differences between each rank but youre relying on 5 other people to do their job, in which 4 people auto lock dps and cant to the job. There is no cooperation in which to be able to rank up. Git gud is a troll comment that has no bearing on a real conversation. I play custom games with masters all the time and keep up and out play them often, the difference is the teamwork and cooperation aspect. I’m stuck in plat on this account because i cannot get a decent team to save my life with out going to a third party to group up. The system drive people aware from a great game and everyone knows that. Don’t troll be productive
I have 2 accounts. One is around 1700 and the other is 2300. Both have virtually the same win rate playing the same heroes. Yes I will get to mid gold on the account but it will take such a ridiculous amount of games that it feels like a total waste of time
Making comp an actual comp mode, not casual, more avoid players, banning trolls and throwers. Community needs more regulations and blizz needs to babysit the toxic unhelpful and immature people who ruin comp. Real whiny having an opinion on how to fix things… or i could roam the forums talking crud to pc players when I’m a console rider and your best stats are the equivalent of a gold player… if that. Step up to the plate have a good idea and stop trolling the threads scrub. I saw your post history, this is a common theme for you, let the big boys talk and go play some more console in your moms basement. Git gud
LUL wow you sure are angry aren’t you little buddy. It’s okay bud you’ll climb out of low plat one day, then those big bad console meanies can’t talk bad to you!
Overbuff is complete horse crap. Been proven that its horrible.
You are a troll. Your attitude is horrible and I am done responding to you. Have a good day.
I agree but that doesn’t mean you aren’t gold…or were 5 months ago, yet you think your better than t500s on any hero and call me the troll! That’s a good one!
I never denied that I was Gold rank. Statistically, I am better at more heros than any GM, mainly because my winrates and overall aim accuracy reflect that.
There is also more than 1 DerpyPants. Might wanna verify that someone is who you are looking at. I have been Gold every season since Season 4 and been on the verge of hitting Plat half a dozen times since Season 4.
Yeah, and I’m the troll, wow that’s a good one
You are a troll because of your attitude.
A GM level player puts in 10 hours on one hero and gets 4500 rank, I put in 200 hours, I flex, play well on all heros and maintain 60% winrates on most of them, have 40% of better accuract overall, and you think rank matters MORE when all they do is circumvent the SR system by One Tricking or playing few heros? You are the one who is delusional.
Dont feed the troll derp
If you actually had 60% winrates on all your heroes you’d have been out of gold long ago. Also why do you think you can compare accuracy when people at your rank have trash tier movement compared to a gm player?
The levels of delusion here are actually mind blowing
I can guarantee you that any gm is better than you on literally any hero in the game, it’s not even a question I need to hesitate to think about
Because I spend a good 6 hours at the end of each Season going over the statistics by looking at the leaderboards and comparing them to my own stats bud. Some of us like to get a sense of where we stand by comparison and disregard the actual rank. That way, I can attribute the lack of climbing not to my skill, but to the ineptitude of the other players who I feel the need to encourage to play better, because in Plat and below, your SR gains and losses are influenced NOT by individual skill, but by how your team is matched by the matchmaker system with players who cant hold a candle to anyone in their own skill tier. Whether thats a recklessly charging Reinhardt, or a Widowmaker who can’t land her shots and get picks. When people like me have to babaysit the inept players and lose more SR because we are forced to switch and play around them.
That’s why people like me are in Gold. Because the system is literally a Catch 22.
Can’t climb unless you 1 trick, cant win if you dont flex. I choose to be a good and responsible player, not a selfish one.
“because in Plat and below, your SR gains and losses are influenced NOT by individual skill,”
This is actually blatantly untrue. In fact if you were playing above gold AND getting 60% winrate you’d be climbing incredibly fast because your gains would be huge and losses minimal.
That’s why people like me are in Gold. Because the system is literally a Catch 22. Can’t climb unless you 1 trick, cant win if you dont flex. I choose to be a good and responsible player, not a selfish one.
No people like you are in gold because you aren’t good at the game and pay way too much attention to your teammates. You can absolutely climb without 1 tricking
Diamond and above is based on flat win/loss ratio. You clearly do not pay attention to the Blizzard updates. They haven’t implemented that system for lower tiers yet dude. Check your facts.
Edit: lol your profile says you on PSN. No wonder you think so highly of yourself. Aim assist FTW eh? Play PC dude. Higher skill ceiling is a thing.
Oh no no no no…that’s right that’s right…“you turn aim assist off”. Not like you can prove that.
Blizzard needs to separate PSN and PC forums. Such a different experience.
