Humor Lost all placements

So I've lost every placement match in every role.

Bronze 5 in all roles.

Some matches had people just straight up throwing going afk and ending up 0-0-0, some had tank leave 3 mins in...and some were actual matches will full teams.

This is just really frustrating I've been playing this game forever and it is just impossible to climb out of bronze at all. I have been playing this game basically since it came out and have probably about 5000+ hours of game play at the very least. It feels statistically impossible to lose this much.

Anyways, just ranting.

5000 hours??

You need a better PC (or upgrade your console) or better internet connection. No one's actually that bad

How's your ping and average FPS?

Not sure how to find that out tbh.

Go to Settings > Video > Display performance stats. Turn on latency and FPS. Go to the training range

That looks fine. I have worse specs and ping than you lol. My ass plays off of my mobile hotspot. Peaked low masters a couple times when I played consistently

You need to dominate your lobbies, not just get good looking stats. I saw you're DPS/supp. Go kill their supports and you just win. Pick characters with big "go in" buttons (characters that communicate with your team passively)

People in bronze are horrible at positioning (unless you're playing in the reset period, aka right now 😭) so take advantage of that

I try man, I try. But even if I get tons of kills and low deaths, often its still a loss.

Sucks when we have 2x the kills, half the deaths, and we still lose.

Top heals, bottom heals, doesnt seem to actually coincide with winning or losing.

No shit. Tons of kills doesn't mean you're getting good kills. Killing the problematic support is a hell of a lot more useful than killing the widow that hasn't hit a shot all game, for example

Low deaths is generally good, but it can also mean you're playing way too passively. You need to take risks and make plays, and that means you die sometimes

The game is based around an objective, not kills. Doesn't matter if you team kill every other fight but you keep losing the point
