I thought the opposite for a while. Stuck in 2800-2900 but I knew my DPS was at least at 3200-3300.

However I was a cuck and always filled. The day I stopped I launched into Diamond, exactly where I thought I'd be.
>>
Diamond is by far the worst bracket of them all. My main is 4,2k (trying to be top500 but not even nearly good enough) and raised my friends account from gold to masters for gold gun points and honestly diamond games are by far harder to carry than masters games because everyone in Diamond actually think they are good in the game when they are fucking terrible. Diamond players also are toxic as fuck because they actually believe they can play the game at all. In gold you mostly just laugh because people are so bad you can practically carry with playing battle mercy with gun.
>>
>>386246104
I'm fine that tournaments and competitive is in the game. But they literally took away 6v6 no limits. The game mode I paid for. Besides if you play Overwatch for balance and winning you're doing it wrong. It's a casual shooter to fuck around in.

>Genius tier

Hit SR 70 in season 1 and dropped the game when I released the hero's skillset design and general movement of the game was so fucking poor that it'd never even be a halfdecent competitive game.

Have never once had the desire to go back and re-download it. It's no surprise that it's done nothing but slowly decay in player numbers since release. A slow, tedious death was the only reality for overwatch.
Only hero's they made that was even close to getting something right was mccree and Ana. Even then they weren't anything near perfect.

At GM people are usually pretty carefree, lighthearted and respectful toward each other.

I think the small community size at the highest bracket forces people to be nicer to each other. You're guaranteed to play with your teammates at some point in the future.

Compare this to Diamond where you're liable to never see that person ever again.

And in every single competitive game the higher you go in rating the more "humble" players become. You have to realize you are shit to improve.

Maybe, but I've lost so many games starting out and the game never really connects: winston counters sym, widow counters torb. Unless it does in the tips menu

It's actually easy to figure out but its pretty shitty I had to google everything to learn who counters what, they dont even have a tutorial for that. Just vs ai which doest even have sym/pharah, troubles a shit ton of people have trouble with

The game literally revolves around loot boxes which doesnt help, everyone just wants cosmetics, not to play because its fun like csgo (csgo is more rewarding in the sense of playing hard and seeing results on the scoreboard, something ow doesnt have)

If you want to climb, stop blaming your team, even when appropriate, and reflect on your own gameplay.
>>
>>386247184
Not really, due to the game's role system it has no real good way of figuring out which player on the team is playing best.

In CSGO they can calculate this easily off of kills and the rank of the players they're killing, in OW it's a lot trickier. I guess Blizz can kinda tilt shit in someone's favor if they're on fire often, but overall it's hard to stick out from your team.

After that I pretty much dropped the game. When people say they "carry" it typically means they make one solid play and get a few kills and their team moves in to clean up. Even with an ult solo killing an enemy team is nearly impossible, assuming they're even semi competent. The game is just designed from the ground up so that the solo player has a minimal impact.

Despite what some anons are claiming, the odds of you carrying even if you're legit good are low. All it takes is 2 competent opposing team members to counteract you while your team gets rekt.

And depending on the game mode, that can be tough.

Shit's the worst aspect of OW, some characters just get countered so badly that there's 0 point in playing them. Like Bastion can do nothing against a Roadhog, D.va or Pharah, and they can put forth such small effort into stopping him,

>>386248145

Not him, but I was high plat at season 2, decided to throw all my games so that I could have fun with the game again, ended up getting placed at low plat for season 3. It worked in my favor in the end since the games were so piss easy I abused winstreak SR boosts to get to mid masters.

A really good Pharah IS a problem, but not an auto-lose situation.

Roadhog is easy as fuck, just don't let him get close.

>>386248456
I think they toned down winstreaks in the current build of the game. You have a hidden MMR that is your "actual" rank. The system will either give you more or less SR depending on how close your comp rank is close to your hidden MMR. For example if the system recognizes you as a GM smurf at silver you're going to be gaining 100+ SR per game while only losing 10~ to get you out of silver.
>>
>>386248563
Get the game running over 120 fps (even if you play with 60hz monitor), adjust your mouse sens so that its max 25cm/360, slower is better if you can. Warm up before playing comp by shooting something (no matter what hero you play), looks for videos to understand what the game is about (most important) when you learn the basic idea of the game you can play any hero in masters level (its just game sense mostly). not the Mei player but GM+ player whos first FPS game this is (Was 44 rank s1 and now GM).

Roadhog is a huge target, and he has to get pretty close to hook. You can drop him in like 3 seconds or less.

Potential for sleep has 2 scenarios: You got shot from a long distance and you'll be fine, or you got shot from a close distance and you fucked up by letting an easy mark like Ana get that close

It has nothing to do with luck, specially if you play on anything lower than masters. Stop lying to yourself and you will start ranking up.

>>386246061
New placement matches don't reset your rank, so if you placed that high after a reset it was just because of your last rank.

Some pro player lost most of his placements and still got placed in GM, placements mean very little now.

>>386248465
>A really good Pharah IS a problem, but not an auto-lose situation.

If she has line of sight on you you cannot deploy, all you can hope to do is plink her to death with your spammy gun. Considering it's a mediocre weapon and you have a giant as fuck hitbox to hit with rockets, this isn't a great fight to pick. Mother fucker has 300 hp and a tank sized hitbox, shit's silly.

>Roadhog is easy as fuck, just don't let him get close.

OW map design is crampt as fuck dude, at the range you should be at Roadhog will more than likely be within his hook range (Bastion shouldn't be plinking away about people at a distance, doing this makes him exceedingly vulnerable to any Widows or Pharahs).

>Just wait out D.Va's defense matrix, same with the best counter: Genji

Waiting her defense matrix out isn't a means of beating her, really all you're saying is "run away and hope you don't die to her team". Also no, you'd need to be a horrid Bastion to think Genji is his best counter. Roadhog, Pharah, Ana, and D.va are all bigger threats than him.

Running into throwers and leavers are totally luck based. Thankfully it's got a chance to happen on either team, but you can have bad luck and happen to you multiple times in a row.

I think yeah, if you are good. I mananged to get out of Silver on solo que, but got stuck in Gold. Still, I believe I'm good enough to be Platinum player, but it's just win one, lose one all the time now. At Silver I was so above the rest I could carry, now I can't.
>>
Stuck in silver, and deservingly so. My aim is disgusting (5-8% accuracy) and I shouldn't be playing an FPS in the first place, but it's too late to refund the game
>>
>>386249379
>My aim is disgusting (5-8% accuracy)

As which character, fuckboi?
>>
>>386249078
Except that OW is designed so that the individual player has a minimal impact, and the game has no real way of grading your performance and dictating how many points you lose or gain per game beyond you losing or winning your match.

I lost something like 8 games in a row in CSGO and ended up deranking, I won the next 2 or 3 and top fragged on those games and got my rank right back, accomplishing this in OW probably wouldn't even be possible.
>>
>>386248897
I honestly think my biggest problem is tracking. I do this all the time where I'll focus a target and they'll jump or dash away and it sometimes takes me up to 3 seconds to find them.
I wish I weren't retarded
>>
>>386249251
Genji is the best counter though, you negate Bastion's only advantage which is DPS.

But now that I think about it, Tracer is usually my biggest problem because she can out-maneuver and use them fucking sticky bombs

>>
>>386249561
>Genji is the best counter though, you negate Bastion's only advantage which is DPS.

As can D.va, Roadhog, and Ana. Pharah can also make it completely unsafe for him to deploy due to her rockets having no damage drop off and her only needing to spam Bastion's spot 3 times before he falls apart.

>Tracer is usually my biggest problem because she can out-maneuver and use them fucking sticky bombs

Yeah, that does happen a lot. Shit's odd, probably because of how easy they are to land on him.

>>386249530
While I'm not a huge fan of the system either, it does work to an extent. Individual performance is constantly taken into account and determines how much SR you win/lose. This is relative to other players in your rank who play the same hero. If your performance on a certain hero is much better than your rank dictates, you will recover from a loss streak quickly. This requires you play great consistently, but that shouldn't be an issue if you're that much better.

This works well enough to get me out of bronze, I guess
>>
>they think GM means anything past season 2
if you have not reached GM every season from 3 to now you are disabled. Hell even people who hit GM nowadays are disabled until you reach the very top layer of GM players ~.005% of all players. Those guys are actually good, until then you have a bunch of retards who's skillcap is hitting grav and pulse bomb together.

> Individual performance is constantly taken into account and determines how much SR you win/lose. This is relative to other players in your rank who play the same hero. If your performance on a certain hero is much better than your rank dictates

Any proof of this? Seems like a very elaborate means to make their ranking system, and I doubt they'd go this far.

>This requires you play great consistently, but that shouldn't be an issue if you're that much better.

That's the main issue with OW's ranked system, you need consistent wins to rank up. If you're winning one game and then losing the next you'll pretty much be at a stand still. In CS if you top frag in a game and win you get a ton of points, and at the next game if you top frag and lose you lose a minimal amount of points.

Your consistency of wins can easily be swayed off by leavers or just by having one bad teammate that's useless. That and personally I've never been a consistent player, and getting screwed because of it isn't fun.
>>

>>386250841
But usually I'm the best on my team; it's like no one else ever bothers with the objective. I win the match for everyone else, but my SR never increases much.

>>
>>386250750
If you browse the forums you can find the statements from the developers detailing how the SR system works. Basically, your SR tries to reach your hidden MMR. So if your MMR with a hero is high, even if you lose, SR loss will be minimal and a win can negate several losses in order to get your SR closer to your MMR.

yeah I've been to the highest rank which by default makes you better than any player below that rank. I've also seen the lower ranks play and it is abysmal, same thing happens in most streamed games too. congrats you put together tac and nano you are SOO good, thats all you need to get to GM

Those are shitters who think the bulk of Mei comes from her freeze. It's not.
The pro do not use her freeze as their main offensive capability. They use her icycle. The icycle is extremely powerful and can one shot a tracer, it does 75 damages bodyshot, it's better to use it than your slow dangerous freeze that force you to be close to the enemy. Mei is not boring. And she is certainly counterable and most of them are very bad at 1v1 him and predictable.

Also, little tips if you are an Ana main: Use Mei's Icycle as much as possible, as it has the same property as the sleep dart: Warm up time, Projectile speed, Projectile size.

I don't get the point of this shit. Gold, Platinum, Top 500, top 400, what's the difference if you're not #1? Eventually you're going to be competing with autists who do nothing but play Overwatch all day every single day. Even if you manage to move up within the autismosphere, there's always going to be someone more autistic than you. And even if there somehow isn't, do you really want to be King Shit of Turd Island?

Overwatch has re-playability issues out the ass. It's not enjoyable unless you stack with friends who are pretty much the same rank as you.
I play QP with friend who are Gold and Plat, with mixed results. The majority of my friends who have started when the game came out don't even log-in anymore. OW is fun at first but it gets really stale fast.
