Ranked is full of braindead

[Evil Carpenter]

Every solo game i had i got put with low skill players who barely know what to do or what their hero can do i'm diamond 2 and people act like it's oky to throw and flame the game..
the only thing to do every rank season is to get to gold and leave rank and play quick game that's all..

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, so that's why we had a handful of people screaming about "EOMM". Reddit's mad about something it doesn't understand. XD

Welcome to the ladder system.

Competitive game without placement matches was certainly a choice.

It's pretty solid advice. But you can choose not to take it if you don't want too. But if you just keep doing the same thing over and over without trying to figure out why your not making any progress with changes then that's all on you now...

While Flats is generally correct, his mentality and thoughts on this is due to the fact that he is playing at a higher level and players typically have a deeper understanding of the game. Notice when he said that you will have a team with one ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on it. In Bronze and Silver you typically 3-4 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ at most times and don't understand the basic concept of the game.

In Bronze and Silver you should be able to climb, albeit slower than other ranks. Not because you aren't making good plays, good positioning or mechanical skills. It is honestly your teammates making horrific decisions.

When I watch higher levels of gameplay in Rivals... I just sigh because I know I could hang with them and perform much better than I am in lower ELO. The tempo of the game is so much more in a sense "relaxed". People are more calculated in their play. In lower ELO you get hit with so much ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that would never work in higher ranks because you would never think that a person with an understanding of the game would do.

I just think comparing lower and higher ELOs is like comparing apples and oranges tbh. There are different ways you have to play. Lower ELOs are just chaotic and unpredictable where higher ELOs are much more deliberate and calculated.

The one thing in that video that is the most important to get out of it is... STATS DON'T MATTER. This is a massive problem in low ELO. People chase to get that dopamine hit of a kill while leaving themselves and their teammates and/or the objective vulnerable. I have had a lot of games where we have the highest person on the team with 10 kills and we blew the enemy out. Why? Because we controlled the objective and the space. We didn't really need to kill them a lot because they couldn't figure out how to get to the objective without feeling safe to do so. Someone would poke up and get killed the the team would back away. This is a lesson that a lot of bronze/silver/gold players NEED to learn and they will get a lot more success out of their games.

Let's skip the cutscenes -- if "EOMM" means what these redditors believe it means, how do you explain the winrates of the individuals on the leaderboard?

I don't even remember him or them in that video even mentioning EOMM. He's talking about individual players and what they are personally not doing which could be a solid cause on their end as to why they aren't climbing...

So why do you keep bringing it up?
