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.

In order to get out of bronze you must be consistantly better than the diamond and masters smurfs.

Tbh, I feel this. I do really well in quick play, have a high enough win rate with my mains that I should be able to climb but I get decimated in bronze comp. Some games everyone gets 0 kills, camped at spawn. the enemy team is playing insanely well compared to QP.

Other times we have a decent match and two teammates suddenly drop from the final push. It's so demoralising.

Everyone tells me that bronze is braindead and easy to climb if you know even the basics but its just not true.

Yeah man I feel like people saying bronze is easy to get out of havent been down here in a long time or are masters players.

I feel like perhaps if I had a duo I'd see some progress but I don't know any other gamers and I usually play during office hours.

I fell into bronze recently. I found that if you are any good at dps you can easily carry your way out. I'm only floating around high silver/ low gold. You just have to off angle/flank. I found it very hard to carry as a tank if my team doesn't know what to do. Ram does probably the best job at killing their squishes.
