I’ve been playing on and off since season 3, i have missed most season
between 5-9 but now im playing it again. I used to be hardstuck silver my entire ow career but now i finally managed to climb out into gold as a brigitte main. I’m well aware of the mechanics as well as all the pages upon pages of tips and tricks, I’ve also played every hero atleast 1 so i’m familiar with them. All of this but i still find it hard to improve.
Playing a character once isnt enough, if you’re in gold the first step should be understanding the meta and which heroes are the most important in both your and the enemy team that way you can focus on shutting down the 1 to bring down the rest while guarding your most important. If you play brig and you have an ana as your second healer and you see a rein v rein about to happen but they have a genji too, tell your ana to play a little closer to your rein but not flat out in his face so she can keep up heals and you can help the rein, but quickly peel a genji away if he dives your ana. The fight will be won and you rinse and repeat then adapt to changes. Understanding all weak links in the game will help you climb up quick especially as a support.

I have to agree…
Steps to becoming better are different from player to player, but everyone has the same potential in the end.
- My suggestion is to learn cooldowns (yes there’s a lot but its doable)
- Learn tells from what enemies do, like a hog going for a hook or a rein looking for a shatter.
- Play heroes in training mode learn their cooldowns and what they can and can’t do (sometimes custom games with a friend can be better, just test things out)
- Practice, Practice, Practice… Consistency is key to improvement
