Any other plat players hardstuck in bronze?

[Joeycentral]

If ELO hell was a thing, bronze is definitely it. I cannot for the life of me get out of ELO hell solo queue because of how BAD my teammates are. Does anyone else feel like they need to queue up with other good players in order to rank up? Last season I got to gold the moment that I had just one good player on my team.

Does anyone else feel it is easier to climb when you have a team of good players?

A: You aren't as good as you think you are

B: Yes, its easier to climb with better players on your team, this should be obvious. Good players > bad players. One really good player should be able to take 2 or 3 not good players on average.

Youre welcome to take a look at my stats and see for yourself.

dont listen to the idiots. Silver 3 is ranked higher than 81% of the player base rn. The issue is there is a large uptick in new players who only have to hit lvl 10 before they can go screw up ranked matches. You are only 1 of 6 ppl on a team and no matter how good you are you cant win the game alone.

There's a term for people stuck in bronze.

I would argue, being good at a video game is a bad thing. It means you need to spend more time in your real life, getting better at worthwhile things and upgrading yourself. Being good at a video game is not useful to anyone... just play it to have some fun and get back to work.

Sadly, many people who are mechanically good at games like this and Overwatch tend to be unemployed or kids with no real life responsibilities.

S0 Diamond 2 player.

got set to Silver 1. 8/12 matches today have had throwers, criers, and dps that go hard negative. currently in Gold Hell

[Mellanie94]

almost all people in bronze are not working together. and for some reason 4 level 10--15 players get teamed against a 4 level 30 players. i also dont call that really fair to be honnest.

and the healer always get the blaime no matter how bad the tank is or the whole party themselfs. i cant help the party if i get ganked by iron fist 24/7 and noone is even helping me killing any player who is haunting down the healer nonstop. no mather where i'm standing.

i once had a great thor tank who looked after me that was the only player that actualy helped the healers.

It seems only good DPS players dont have that issue. Try playing a support and youll see how much harder the game actually is lol

[VaporeonCunny]

I can heal 30K, Soak 20K dmg, or Deal 20K damage, but I still mostly lose. Just the nature of team games if your solo, can't win by yourself so pray your teammates know what their doing.

My strategy: I play DPS until I hit gold, where dps players *generally* know what they're doing.

The problem with getting out of bronze is that there's an over abundance of noobs in that tier, many do not understand how the game works yet and have at most passing familiarity with a few characters.
Many of these players are also new to hero shooters in general and lack any amount of team work, they just rush into the thick on things and die, like chasing a fleeing enemy right into their entire team and getting deleted. I've only had a handful of matches while in bronze where the team had solid teamwork, sticking together and not overcommitting or rushing the enemy blindly.

Ranked is just over crowded with season reset. Lotta people first time trying are trying to get carried as support so I've been getting up to 3 and mabey one heals a little bit, or they all over heal and no dps. I am just gonna give it a week so those players give up, and the sweaty ones get out of my way climbing.
