I mean, how many account are genuine mains? Most of what I see now is smurf accounts. Literally every single game there is at least one low level playing either decent or way above their SR. This makes ranks completely meaningless as most players aren’t actually playing where they are supposed to…
I usually only play qp, but instead of playing with golds and plats, i play with high plat-dia and even masters bc of my friends. Therefore when I play comp. It’s a difference, i’m trainee against somehow better player which not always play on that level. But it didn’t boost me out of plat… (maybe bc I play not much comp, will change that with LFG)
But yeah, i guess something can be explained by the overall skillset.
A mccree can land all shots on the head like a GM but he can always stand exposed, so as a tracer he only can be smurfing, but for the widow, he’s a gold guy which takes her headshots.
And ofc its frustrating having to deal with a master gengu duo-queue with that high plat ana, and he manages to carry. When you expect playing against high plat and try to reach dia
The problem is purely because they have a generalised rank over all classes and heroes… which is completely negated when people can’t play all classes and heroes.
