I expected that result. It were the only wins and there was at least some action instead of just getting killed over and over.
I flex basically every match, depending on my mood and what the comp should be. also: role, not open
Gold was in season 16 or something, i didn’t kept up with training and stuff.
always need a couple of games to get the hero, so i’m not surprised that the bubbling and beam were off. last week i managed 71% average energy in a match though.
PHYVTE and T7EVHE have a smurf team that usually either brutally destroys teams or throw to derank.
PHYVTE
Quickly looking. On the enemy they have 2 low level accounts, and the Junk player is 100000000% NOT a smurf.
Their Cree player is getting value, but she is playing incredibly badly. Makes me think there was little to no voice communication going on.
Not sure who you think is the smurf… but I don’t see any,
T7EVHE
Some of the same players. Not seeing smurfs.
Am seeing that have one of the worst Moira players I’ve ever seen though. I forget that healing isn’t much of a thing down there. Or positioning, or map control, or some basic awareness.
The Cree start controling this game, not because he is good, but because your team don’t seem to have to coordination or thought to stop, wait, and go at him as a team.
Both these games scream 1 thing. No communication.
Here is one of my games
EKDF2A
You can see I am garbage and make a lot of mistakes, but hopefully will show you the difference in your games.
I was hoping for a defeat by them but it didnt happen. maybe later…
no communication is normal in bronze. i even heard “shut up or i report” back in the days when i tried
earlier today i was playing orisa and while i was waiting for the other tank to come back to the objective i watched 3 players run by and die on the objective…
it’s also normal for bronze having Bastion as S-Tier, together with Torbjörn and Symmetra…
Yeah, but that isn’t people deliberately throwing.
That is just people not know “how to play the game”. Hence why they are bronze.
Like the Junk in the first game, he kept stopping and firing at where people were about 5 seconds ago. With a Mercy pocket. Leaving his team as a 4 just through him being a little incompetent.
Everyone in my team was plat, I was the lowest rank as I’ve dropped a little so was about 2580 and one guy was a game from Diamond.
So we are all pretty bad. But this is in a 6 stack, with communication.
It shows just how much difference communication can make.
The other difference is the speed at which people react to things, not that my game is a great example, but the higher you go the quicker you need to react and make decisions.
The best players will almost subconsciously do things when they see or hear things happening. As it is always better to make a decision and act, than just sit there thinking about it.
I think it was a Flats video. But he was VOD reviewing an Ana player and pointed out mechanics aren’t everything. You can easily get to Diamond if you learn to read what is going on around you and react to things quicker than everyone else.
you did not really believe that i would do that? because that is throwing and i do not do that. i play only heroes on ranked which i am familiar with. i practice in QP
define “easier”… i still have a 20something% win rate, so i am probably not the right person to ask that…
Nope. I have been activly throwing comp games since the launch of sym 3.0 because i belong to the 1% of players who BOUGHT the game cause her 2.0 did not require aim.
Im still here, activly throwing games. (4 ruined today out of 5 played)
Do note i do this by playing sym to the BEST of my ability. (which is absolute garbage) i cant land a single shot as ashe, i can actually miss hitting a mercy beam on the target i want. to give you an idea.
