Hahahaha stop being shit

bronze is funtown bud

ease up and enjoy the ride

>Am I stuck here forever?
You're stuck there till you stop being bad.

It's very hard to get placed in bronze.

Good luck user
I hope you get out of bronze soon!

I stay calm and friendly in team chat, I play the meta and what the team needs in their composition, I try to learn all the different heroes in quick play, I try to make the team change heroes if our current composition is getting destroyed by the enemies and I try my best at making the team group up after at least three have died.
I've only owned the game for about two weeks but I can't climb the ladder if I'm getting put in the same teams as griefers, trolls, ragers, and quitters every other game. I'm just stuck in the same place.

thanks

How do I stop being shit then? I don't see what I'm doing wrong.

>I play the meta
>in bronze

the pro meta isn't meta at that level bud.

How do you even get in bronze?
I am platinum, and am not even remotely good. I once teamed up with a silver player just to see what it was like. (i had dropped to mid-gold at the time)
I absolutely destroyed every game just playing roadhog. No one had any awareness. One soldier cussed me out for smurfing, even though his master strategy was to stand perfectly still and shoot me.
It was surreal. I felt like i was playing bots.

how can you be worse than that?

Play roadhog and learn his hook > shotgun to face > melee attack combo. If you take damage heal

you can pretty much solo a whole team of bronze retards even if the rest of your team jumps off a cliff.

Your enemies team should be no better than your team. If you can't get out of bronze with your own skill then you belong there

I figured if I played the same characters as all the good guys I'd be good too :(
What characters are good for bronze then?
I try to do the 2-2-2 with my teams. I pick Lucio or Mercy as healers, Rein as tank, sometimes D.va. And Soldier for dps. Most of the time.

At that point you may as well just stop tryharding and fuck about. If you really want to advance, play roadhog.

I only won 3 games in the matching.

carry yout shit mates out of it
if you can't fuck over 6 bronze players alone you have to be

play mercy and tell your team to stay on the objective because you have res. it doesn't even matter if you use it or not you just need bodies on the objectives. to win in bronze all you have to do is get your team to stop playing the game like it's a deathmatch and get some basic objective control.

Rein D.Va and Mercy are a bad idea because they require your team to be good to be effective.

What you want to play are heroes that can pull things off completely by themselves. Roadhog, Winston, Lucio (run around like a retard with heal boost on and Amp it when you get hurt and most people with bad aim won't be able to kill you while you shoot them), Soldier 76, Mei

What you want is a character that can heal themselves and also dish out damage and get kills. Winston is on there because you can jump pack away from fights and get a health kit

if you think you're good enough, pick a char with a lot of dps and fuck their shit
Road, soldier, genji can work too, hanzo if you have decent aim, PHARAH, hell even dpslúcio works

i only won 4 and got placed at plat and now are on my way to diamond
you played bad. in placement winning barely matters

no play soldier 76 and self heal and carry the team

dont play roadhog he getting nerf next patch

dont worry about meta until you can play with people who have more than 10% accuracy. you're in bronze, you just need to hammer down the basics. play something like 76 or mcree and just focus on hitting as many shots as you can and getting movement down. you can test out every hero in the range if you really feel like it, but try to just stick with something familiar for a while. most people are 'stuck' in these low elos because they are just impatient. also test your limits. don't be afraid of your subhuman teammates yelling at you, just go for it. pay your dues in the trench and i can almost guarantee that you will climb to gold in this season.

Don't try to play the team game in bronze, play soldier or pharah (hog or any other character that you're good with) no matter your comp and ignore comms
Im currently doing this in plat and I haven't lost a game yet
If you can't carry yourself out of bronze then you're just incredibly bad, consider lots of aiming practice and personal shit instead of whatever random team comp that might be meta

If you're "stuck" in your fucking elo you belong in that elo.
Not everyone can make it to the top you idiots

Haven't touched it since season 1.
>Leave game
>Get a slap on the wrist
>People who don't leave get penalised even further
Have they changed this shit system?

never try to tell your teammates how to play in any coop game, it never works. he would have a better chance on zarya or rein just suppressing them.

Play a better game, preferably one that isn't a shitty team based one.

If you can't solo their entire team as Mercy in bronze you should stop playing. There's literally only children and disabled in that rank

don't play heroes that require coordination at a level where people don't play in a coordinated way.

healers provably earn less SR for wins overall. play DPS like roadhog or soldier

bastion wrecks in bronze too because people are too braindead to counter him; they just run into his damage beam.

do NOT play mccree
if you're bronze you don't have the aim you need for mccree
play soldier and shit on their tanks, noone plays heal down there anyways.
tip: if enemies are far away use burst fire (fire 3~4 round, wait for your crosshair to get back to normal, fire 3~4 rounds, repeat) to get higher weapon accuracy
use your health pack if you're under 120 hp
use rockets to save a kill or to deal damage to groups, if you have a tank (rein i.e.) stay behind them, they are your shield

EU or NA?
if EU go to NA
if NA try to talk to people

>fuck you nigger i play how i want

this is the response people give to Captain Tactics players at bronze.

OP needs to provide real measurable value himself by killing enemy healers

>>People who don't leave get penalised even further
what?
>leave game: -50 sr, banned for 15 minutes IIRC, do it more often, get banned whole season, no exp
>stay: -20~30 SR + Exp gain

lmao just instalock soldier till grandmaster

he says he hasn't played since august

>playing plat
>3 stack goes torb junk, hanzo
>Fuck you i payed blizz, i play what i want


it's everywhere, just rarer on higher SR

Was playing EU, changed to NA recently. Much better people.

I find that if you say "i have res don't worry about dying" they are more likely to stay near you or your team not telling them to get on the point. also i'm not saying he can't carry his bitch ass out of bronze with shit like roadhog or 76 but if he could he wouldn't be bitching about how he is stuck there.

>low health as genji
>spam I NEED HEALING
>have to wait for a health pack because mercy main
>or the ana I CAN'T HEAL YOU IF YOU'RE NOT STANDING STILL

>just rarer on higher SR
yea but on higher SR, everyone fucking gives up so god dam fast and spend the rest of the match throwing autismfits.

Its just that EU is dead silent pretty much all the time, its like console on PC nobody fucking talks, EVER

Its not a good comp environment unless you can stack with friends

>tfw Zarya + Winston is everywhere now

>high silver~mid gold is the comfiest rank, people play serious and are open for tactics and shit

the main problem in plat-diamond is garbage mcrees, roadhogs, reapers and mercys weighing down the team

the idea is to use mcree to practice aiming. that's exactly my point, he's super unforgiving if you miss most of your clip. the beauty of it is that people in bronze are so shit that he can still win. then by the time he gets to gold/plat, he should know the game a lot better and can use that mechanical foundation to be flexible and play what the team needs. you just gotta have patience. 76/rocketslut/dva will get him out faster though, can't deny that.

Well, yeah. Genji's whole thing is being hard to hit. Just cause your hitbox is a little bigger to her, it doesn't mean you aren't a slippery fuck.

Also, I don't know if you know this but Ana's darts have a slight delay between click and fire.

Head hitbox size reduced by 20%

Scrap Gun
Bullet damage decreased by 33%.
Fire rate increased by 30%.
Clip size increased from 4 to 5.

Roadhog is going to be lots less reliable alone in the futur

if you cant hit gengu dont play ana, the game gives you a retard proof hitbox for healing

the fast shooting is really weird now, like a mcree with a shotgun almost

I think if I were bronze I'd just go Pharah and get a mercy to suck my dick all round. I can't see bronzers knowing what to do about pharmercy.

>6 won
>7 lost
>tank and dps,doing my fucking job
>Gold 2474
nice math blizzard

>6 won

>10 placements
Nice math, user

>Rank 4000 last season

>Grouped with Grandmasters and people who were Top 500
>Win 8/10
>Get placed in Silver
I'm never playing this game again. That's it. Lost all interest.

>mercy existing in bronze

sensi there are no healers at that level except occasionally zen

>Ima be honest, I'm high on shrooms and meant to play quick play" in team chat
ngl i did this once but it wasnt shrooms.
Surprisingly did well.

i dont know, my personal experiences really conflict with that. i feel like any time you try to tell your team to do anything they just resist it because you're all randos and nobody trusts anyone. it's better to just have high awareness of what everyone is doing and try to play around them in my opinion.

:^)

pick McCree or Soldier and solo carry until you get to Gold where team coordination becomes a thing
if you're in bronze for any length of time you need to stop playing tanks and supports, or your aim sucks

How do people even get in bronze? You'd have to be pretty shit. The real struggle is getting out of 2k.

It doesn't get any better.
I got fucked by being placed at 2400.
Last night I was getting 50 points for each win and losing 10 or 20 for each loss. I played like 20 matches. I won only 2. 2 out of fucking 20.
50/50 my ass.

gitgud

please never call anyone shit if you're struggling in 2k

I'm okay, but bronze is a new level of shit.

No, the real struggle is getting out of diamond

that'll work, yeah

At bronze you should be able to 1v6 everyone as soldier provided there's no smurfs and you're a decent player.

Otherwise git gud

I was 1 game away from masters before I got shitters in my team which dragged me down. Worked back up again and the same thing happened.

Solo queue is hell.

how useful is a soldier that misses more shots than they hit, really?

That makes no sense at all

Im calling bullshit

>someone instalocks sombra
>someone picks bastion on attack on a 2cp map
>people refusing to group up and running in alone
>people in chat blame "not enough damage" or "no heals"
wake me up streamable.com/l5rpa
posting streamable instead of webm cos its better with sound

>bronze
How the fuck does someone end up in bronze? On season 2 I did terrible on my placement matches and still ended up in gold

Im honestly quite intrigued to see what is like in a bronze comp game. Im plat and its full of retards... I can only imagine how much worse it is down there.

I started playing five days ago and got placed into 1500.I can't maintain winrate above 35%
tfw garbage

You wont be able to get out of bronze by yourself since youre going to have to be lucky enough to end up with not just one but 5 other decent team member and doing that in diamond is hard enough. Youre going to have to get at least 4 other people to play with you in a pre made team.

I want to purposefully do placements one day and toss every match so I can fuck around, even more so than in quick play. I have no friends to boast about an e-rank to and I don't care for Sup Forums talking shit about anything lower than master or whatever.

But I'm too lazy to do the placement matches

You're bad because you're new to the game. I don't really understand why people hop into competitive immediately after getting to 25.

Just keep practicing and learning the maps/heroes. You'll climb.

Get some friends that can play, nuff said.
Climbing in a 1v1 elo team game is scientifically impossible unless you are plain lucky.

>whole point of game is to stay as a team and capture shit together
>NAH BRUH IMA JUST GO ON MY OWN LIKE A RETARD AND GET KILLED 500 MILES AWAY FROM MY NEAREST TEAMMATE WHAT THE FUCK WHY DIDNT YOU DROP EVERYTHING YOU WERE DOING AND COME HEAL ME REEEEEEE

Death to genji mains

You got carried. How is this so hard to grasp for you kids. You can be the dumbest shit playing on a touchpad and still win games. Doesn't mean it was your doing, you were just with it for the ride.

I'm like 50 points from diamond. Phara + Mercy was reking everyone and no one bothered to help me with taking them down, so I picked Widow... literaly saw a guy turn around immediately and run back to pick torb on attack, because clearly picking Widow in any fucking situation is trolling.

hey whatever. like i said, if you want to just farm sr and bottom out in plat play 76/pharah/dva.

I don't even use Genji (in fact, it's the only character whom I didn't bother getting the achievements for), but you are an idiot or at very low level of you think Genji is bad or should stay with the team.

The whole point of its existence is flanking and getting behind the lines to take down the supports and low health enemies.

genji is supposed to barely stay on obj and always get some picks and dash to safety
most retards go in against a fuckin roadhog or winston or they get greedy after killing the mercy and get teamfucked
a above-average-genji has a simple routine:
>stay with team until teamfight
>dash to backline, fuck 1 (dash to healpack/healer
>1st pick, win teamfight
>repeat
>ult with zarya or ana
>kill:
>1st Mercy
>2nd Ana
>3rd Dps of your choice
>4th hit as many enemies with one slash as possible
>dash the fuck out before ult ends

How do I deal with a team that picks 4 dps and refuses to switch to something more useful? This has happened to me countless times and they're always dickheads who won't join team chat, and when I tell them "Hey, there's a guy behind us." they get mad.

Blizzard needs to make team chat auto join and not optional. It's fucking annoying.

that was not meant ironic...
it IS a good tactic to improve your aim

>okay, that's cool
haha

pray they're good and protect them if possible

Just do your best and try to win.

About the Pharah thing, I have a little bit of a story
>get along with a group of silver framed players in low Diamond
>they ask me to play Zen most of the times, I'm fine with it because Zen is great
>Pharmercy on enemy team wrecks the living shit out of me
>call them all the time to focused on them while discorded
>both me and Mercy get absolutely destroyed
>the rest of the team tell us to "ignore them because grandmasters advice to ignore them until you're done with the rest of the team"
>ignoring a character that can output 120 damage (+30% boost)
>we get raped 4 matches straight for the same reason
>our attacks keep playing Reaper and Genji/Junkrat

No, the difference is unlike in ASSFAGGOTS your teammates dying barely make a difference so if you are REALLY above average you can pick off 2+ people and hopefully your team will be able to do the rest.

I'm on the border of silver ane gold and I the variation in skill on any given team is wild. Like, I'm shit, and so are a lot of the other players. But sometimes half the people in my games will be absolute monsters- McCrees that basically only land headshots, Winstons diving and wrecking both healers then jumping away in the span of 1.5 seconds, Anas that have their team at 100% health the entire game

>placed mid-Diamond last season, barely played and know I can be placed higher
>start my 10 placement matches
>first 3 matches, teammates quit, one match we were literally winning and they quit other two it was just past the cutoff for ending the match
>stats are shit because 5 on 6
>next 2 matches I have people purposely throwing the match
>next match I win easily
>next 4 matches, I have people that don't play as a team and trickle in one or two at a time
>get ranked 2700

This is fucking bullshit. My performance was gimped because of this shit.

Talking about Ana, what's an acceptable accuracy average for playing her? I currently am on 59% average for both scoped and unscoped.

After months of salvation from Overwatch I just caved and installed the game. I'm currently download the update, and when it is done I will probably buy 50 loot boxes so that I can dance. Please stop me.

win/loss does not matter in placement
your performance was bad

i just assume everything is sarcasm at this point

My performance was bad because it was 5 on 6 for more than half the match. One match, 4 of my teammates quit. Fuck off with that garbage.

Take it easy, man. You should be climbing really quick if your stats on 6v6 are good enough.

I won't. But good luck with drop rate.

If you're in bronze and you can't just solo kill everyone you belong there.
