How the hell do you get out of Bronze?

[Tourniquet]

Every team doesn't bother with the objective, and when they do they get wiped out. It's weird. How the hell do you win competitive?

you gotta learn how to play each role correctly, or group with people who aren't trash. I only play solo queue and I normally wait for my team to choose their characters because I know for a fact 2-4 of them will instantly lock a character and refuse to change, you'll have to be the person to change.

some people are bold enough to play ranked as a character they've never played, if you can believe it

Maybe it's region related, but in S0 and S1 I was easily in silver and then gold. Even if your team is trash you will lose like -28 points and get +40 on a next win, so in the end you will eventually get out, unless you are very bad. Maybe it's luck, maybe it's region related and europe has better players, but idk.

I'll say this over and over again.

You have four options:

1. Get good. Good enough to solo carry.
2. Make a team of good players. Least painful way to get ouf of Bronze.
3. Be extremely lucky and always get good teams. (impossible for most people)
4. Just play long enougha nd you will eventually rank up. Ranking in MR is super generous and super easy. You can lose 5 games straight and win just 3 and still rank up. Unless you are so bad that you never win, you will eventually get out of Bronze.

If you can't do any of these four, you deserve to be in Bronze it is your true rank.

I was playing Susan, Ororo and Reed in ranked and got out of Bronze. I have no clue how to use any of them.

My advise:

1. Do not play in the season start. Because first - ranks were reset, so a lot of high ELO players are climbing out. Second - new heroes are out, so players will play them wrong.

2. Do not play healers/tank in low ELO. Controversial - sure, but in low ELO you need to carry. If you leave your chances in the hand of your team, you'll be stuck in low ELO. Do it yourself. You need to be good enough to single-handedly be a decisive factor and swing fights.

3. If you really want to not play DPS, team up. Finding a duo buddy or two of them for a trio is not hard. Get social, play together. This is likely the easiest route.

I wouldn't bother ranked too heavily this early in season. Everyone got dropped 7 ranks down, which means you have gold/platinums in bronze too. Combine that with actual bronzies/silvers etc, and your games are extremely dice-roll if you get team which has more higher ranked players before reset or not.

Later in the Season for "real" bronze playing every role correctly and the objective will some times not help. is to chaotic. You can most time lock iron fist and destroy the entry team one by one. Play for the rank ... Some times diffrent ranks play totaly different.Eternity teamstrategies will not work in bronze.

Playing vanguard helps to climb faster

Its easy dude.

1: Play DPS.

2: DPS

3: Look at your team. What do they need? Are they all DPS? Flame them. Tell them to go something else. Its impossible that they're good at the game, only you are. You need to be the DPS.

4: If you're doing bad as DPS, flame your team some more. Its their fault you can't aim, get out of position and are playing DPS in a team that already has 4 DPS.

5: Make sure you don't play Hela or Hawkeye; they're meta, so they're for noobs. Punisher is the strongest character you can play. Ideally play Spiderman. He's not cringe.

6: If you lose, flame your team; this will motivate them to do better if you match with them again.

7: Play quickmatch to unwind, but never to practice new heroes; you should learn how to play everyone in comp and if your team doesn't like that, they're noobs.

8: Get matched with bots in QM, then come to these forums and brag about going 23-0 on a sick kill streak v literal bots and use that to trick people into playing bad characters, while you, pro that you are, main spiderman.

9: If you do have a healer, make it hard for them to heal you. Don't stand in the healing bubble. Don't run away on low hp. No, stand in the middle of the enemy team, where its physically impossible for the healers to heal you with their M1 and die.

10: Flame them because you died.

11: If you have a tank, run ahead of them. Don't aim for the people they're CC'ing; that's kill stealing, its for noobs.

12: Run behind the enemy team solo on characters with no mobility (they'll never see it coming) and shoot them from behind. If you die, flame the enemy team for hacking.

Wait a couple of days, since the reset Gold and above players are destroying Bronzes right now, without counting the usual smurfs in free to play games.

It was easy... you play as Fill, go for strong TeamUps and pick counters. You dont have to be skilled player. You can climb with good Macro Play alone. Knowledge is Power.

Rank means nothing for the first 2-3 seasons, it's a participation trophy until mm gets fine tuned.

1. Learn the maps and the health pack locations

2. Play the objective TOGETHER with the team (No point playing the objective alone to die and feed the enemy)

3. Watch guides about the characters that you're confident in playing

4. Being flexible to play a tank, dps, or a healer will increase your chances of winning games

5. Stick with the team, even if they are not playing the best (Strength in numbers)

6. Play with friends that you can coordinate over Discord (Teamwork makes the dream work)

This sums it up, but sometimes even when you pick the right hero it is still not enough. I have seen a team that consisted of 5 duelists which is freaking stupid.

Fill in with noobstomping heroes, pep talk your team, ping stuff as warning and go for a good KDA.
