Lower ranks are harder than high ranks

[✪ HooSh 🍉🍉]

Every time i play in lower skilled games i get ♥♥♥♥ on. When i play with my friends who are 2500 elo faceit we do fine, but when i play lvl6 i get rekt and called noob all the time.

What mindset should i approach when playing lower elo? I want to have fun playing with my friends that are worse at the game but i get rekt.

Another example with MM ranks: We are all global or supreme in mm, play it chill and for fun get around 25 frags, i play with my friend who is gn1 on my alt, end up having to try and get 12 frags still.

Anyone else has this?

lower ranks have more smurfs/cheaters

also lower rank players mostly dont think like high rankers and do everything kamikaze pilot style

You are used to holding angles and setting up smokes not them rushing up mid on inferno and taking arch you know?

All ranks have similar amounts of cheaters lol the frequence depends on your trust factor but ye theres almost nobody spinning in MG+

You should try silver then as a practice haha

[Nate Breezy]

it sucks when your trust factor is red

Yeah actually it’s true, I have 2 accounts 1 is MGE and the 2nd one is on silvers, just for play with my friends from work, I actually got deranked yesterday on silver acc, from silver 4 to silver 3😅
I think it’s just because when you playing at your rank you kinda know what enemies gonna do, but silvers... omg they are moving randomly, they are always doing s.h.i,t. That you can’t even wait for.
So I can say it’s not like lower ranks playing better, it’s like you got used to your ranks and it’s not comfortable to play against lower ranks.
Sorry for my English)

But ppl in high rank hv much better aim and reflect and utilities&nades usage
How can get rekt in way lower rank?
Bcs mge and silver 4 is huge gap
Same w OP global and GN is huge gap

If your teammates are not that good, you'd face a lot of difficult situations, giving you the experience that lower ranks are harder.

That's not what OP meant

It's easy. As a good player you know how other good player think, move, what they do etc. -in short: They play the meta team- and individualwise.

Lower ranked player play completely different, they will caught you off guard because they do unexpected stuff which doesn't happen in high skill games.

Also lower ranked people move different which annoys me personally the most as an awper. They jump or hold W while peeking and the whole knowledge how player move, muscle memory while aiming, flicking and following the enemies is different - especially as an awper.

Thorin explained that very well when he said that you as a master swordsman shouldn't fear the second best swordsman but someone who never used a sword because of the reasons I just explained.
