@@teeglooerm

@@teegloo not playing the game for a month destroys everything youre used to

@@teegloo have you tried playing an aim intensive character at a high level without consistently playing the game? It’s borderline impossible to keep that consistency, especially if you straight up just stop playing the game for a while, I used to be great at counter strike when I played everyday, now that I have barely played for the past 2 years it seems I whiff the most retarded shots whenever I try to play a game casually, aim is way too hard of a skill to just have it at its peak whenever you want.

Shadder got rank 14 after 7 months break and Genji is very aim intensive so it doesn't apply to everyone

he wont be.. hes so bad rn

@@ali-ff2se give him a bit trust

@@ali-ff2sehe hasn’t played in a bit so give him some time to climb back up. Flats and karq almost fell to diamond too I think last season but they climbed back to GM

@@Sensei_gojo it's crazy how people are calling people who have been t500 multiple seasons bad lol referring to a bunch of streamers

It's because they aren't awful. Kenzo had a hard mercy pocket so he's supposed to be carrying. His tank and dps have to rely on the 1 other support to sustain both of them because the support comp they have is forcing Kenzo to carry and not giving the rest of the team any resources

One of the games you can't solo carry sadly. Gotta find people to queue with and hope it makes the difference

good… would be crazy if one sniper could always be viable and solo carry every game in a 5v5 ability based fps. play valorant

@@raniarieli2162 You do realize that half of top 500 currently is people in masters currently because of the rank reset right? Because of that it’s difficult to climb ranks unless you’re 5 stacking or creating a brand new account. Also, I’m not about to discredit these streamers. If you think they’ve fallen off maybe you should challenge them to a 1 v 1 😉

@@kinshasamadison96they’re genuinely just not good enough to maintain gm, it’s not hard to maintain even gm 2

​@kinshasamadison96 it's not because of rank reset you need 50 wins to place top 500 and most players just haven't won their 50 games yet. I'm gm so I should be top 30 right now but I'm only at 32 wins so im not on the leaderboard yet

@@raniarieli2162 🤣

T500 was high Masters literally until 3 days before season end last season. (Edit: and all those players are genuine, long-time T500 players. Or do you want to pretend ex pro-players such as Onigod are bad?) The rank distribution is a relative bell curve and it is as clear as day that the devs have forcefully deranked everyone to make achieving Champion near-impossible. Before this forceful rank redistribution, T500 started way above GM1. Pretending this reset didn't happen is just delusional.

I think how you perform should aid ranking like kills, deaths, assists, dmg and healing. Also if someone leaves then the team should get some kind of compensation. Is it really that hard?

@@anim3793 sounds nice until you examine how stats aren’t something every hero gains at the same rate. Just for a name, a Sombra should never do as much on the numbers that a Bastion can even though that Sombra could run the lobby. Hell, every tank would just go Mauga and every sweaty support would be running Moiras.

@@thatonedude675 OW is unique in that compared to other games with ranked modes. I dunno what the answer is, but a straight up win/loss record just isn't a very good metric (and im not saying ignore it completely, but I just think there should be more metrics involved). Like, ya sure, extremely good players will carry themselves to higher ranks, but I've seen players in plenty of different games who are clearly good, but get stuck in lower ranks, because you have to basically carry an entire team to move up and not everyone can do that.

​​@@thatonedude675 the thing is, we don't live in a time where information is hard to get. The game knows, or at least could be programmed to know the average stats on a micro level. What heroes are currently, at all times getting in average natural value and is one player doing better or worse using that hero at whatever current rank they are in. These metrics can be updated in real-time; easily. As they reflect real world use and not dependent on win or loss. Elo hell is real. The problem is certain people claim it always exists when it just exists at various times. But the truth is.... For example here, if Kenzo got 40% more elims as a DPS player and 30% less deaths than the other DPS, he should be closer to ranking up regardless of a win or loss should really be used to matchmake players who have similar stats. Edit: I should also include that if wins/loses don't reflect ranking it would also eliminate the reportable offenses of boosting AND intentional deranking. Someone wants to duo up with a pro and get carried? Not gonna happen if they aren't doing their job even with the Pro carry. Do they want to smurf and throw a few games? They'll still get placed where their individual performance matters and if they are smurfing they'll still rank up (where they don't want to be). Even if they successfully dropped from actively performing badly. The second they step up the game will throw them back into higher ranks.

I was about to put this, bc for 1 its Kenzo 2 he's playing Widow, Cass, & Sojourn, they have good carry potential & 3 he's a Dps player imagine how hard it is for Tanks & Supports

I'll see you in game 😭

@@TheRealKenzo homie I'm on console you will not 😭LOL

​@@StarCrow77Gaming you turned crossed play off?

@@Eis7 no but in comp you can't play against PC players at least that's how it's supposed to work

@@StarCrow77Gamingif it’s console then diamond is about gold

Lots of healers are usually duo’d with someone. So without a good DPS or tank with them at all times most of them are stuck in Plat. I’ve literally seen Plat healers go into GM just because all they did is queue with a DPS and pocket them. Game is literally DPS needs to kill everyone to win and Tank needs to distract. Then the second that support solo queues they drop all they way back down. Supports are only as good as the people they are supporting and that’s a sucky way to see it.

Playing in low rank is like going to the casino, its fully luck based if you win or not. There are times when I question if my teammates are even human

@turbopenguin758 I feel you mate especially when I'm playing Tank like I'm creating the space I have like their tank and their healers on me , they can't handle a 4v2 against 2 DPS with no heals.

That's the point if you want to climb you have to carry. If your not carrying then your no better than everyone else in that rank and that's when the games are 50/50 and feel like a team diff whenever you lose

Yup I play better in diamond lobbies than I do in gold.

That’s why just playing with the intent to hard carry is better than doing something and then praying your tm8s then respond correctly.

Having a pocket is a crutch and makes games harder for your team. Your committing an entire support to one dps so that dps has to carry. It leaves your tank and dps with no resources so they aren't going to be able to do as much and will probably get diffed.

@@mekhicalliste8732 but im a mercy main 😭 i gotta pocket someone

No? If you can only rank up with a pocket, you just have a hard skill issue

@icydays1 I don't have anything against mercy players. I'm talking ab the dps players that rely on a pocket and blame their team

@@mekhicalliste8732 agreed 100% people need to stop blaming unless it's obvious i.e they are running into them on repeat and dying or afk

should watch melio widow unranked to gm

@@meat. if I remember correctly that was back in season 8 right? Before the rank change when gm was easier to hit Not saying he couldn’t do it again cuz I’m pretty sure he’s like one of the 10 champ players in his region but like for me ion think gm is actually possible

@@pppoopoo1811 I'm in GM right now onetricking Hanzo and I only play the game occassionally these days so don't be discouraged, you'll get there soon enough!

That or metal ranks because they do nothing

@@-_-Montana-_-my only argument is its alittle easier to carry in say plat3 and below, if youre a widow or phara that cant be contested then its almost a forsure win, same with like a good zen or ball or doom

This is cope. DPS run the game, Widow is just a bad hero rn.

why would it be lol

Nah youre just terrible

Maybe problem is 250hp, now killing people is harder, and skilled players cant hard diff enemies

I'm that rank and can't agree more

Lol kid thats not how company works, why do you even think they would have wasted weeks to decide names? Obviously they did not
