[@gehirndoper]

One thing Awkward seem to forget is that at lower ranks hero choice matters as well. The Tracer at 15:00 which he put in Dia based on mechanics and movement said she was stuck in Gold. Reason for that might just be that Tracer just scales badly before you get good, as even Gold players can survive that damage, and they don't react enough anyway to capitalise on distraction. If that dude played Soldier or Reaper with those mechanics he'd easily reach Plat or Dia.

[@justalaugher]

i don't agree. as a tracer in low lobby, you could easily get the enemy team one by one as their healers are not good enough to react in time. As a low gm player, I could easily get 30+ kills and 25+ fbs in gold or plat lobby when my teammates get 15 or 16 kills at most.

Looks at Ana POV: This is gold Looks at Bap POV: Could this be bronze? Actual Rank: Plat 2?! Next Game: This is Diamond. Actual rank: Gold 3 "Damn" I think that sums up why everyone in metal ranks hates ranked right now. Nobody's rank makes sense.

[@Halo3ninja28]

It also speaks to his theories being mostly BS and his own experiences being skewed because of his mechanics being so far above metal ranked players that he could mess with his own sensitivity settings and still slap metal ranks in pure aiming 1v1s. The denial of the D4 game with the now M1 soldier makes it even clearer. It is not that people in GM and top 500 are the smartest lot around, it is that their mechanics ARE so superior that they can get away with strats that lower ranked people never could. They are also playing with people who likewise have such superior mechanics that they can get healed and shielded in ways they NEVER would in lower ranks. The main reason they don't need GM level help when doing unranked to GM is because their mechanics allow them to kill the enemies before they would need the extra help, and the enemy will have healers with bad mechanics as well, so they don't get healed enough or in time to neutralize someone like Awkward aimbotting them into the ground. In other words rank does NOT equal game intelligence. Mechanics would be a much better tell although yes, it is not the sole factor at play. There IS still a game flow to lean into obviously.

[@cagxplays9602]

@@Halo3ninja28 Bro he's watching a minute worth of gameplay and most of these people are lying about their ranks or on console using xims, which means the rank is inflated.

[@ramial-shujairi7042]

@@Halo3ninja28you are coping sooooo hard right now. Why are you only focusing on how good awkward and his teammates would be in high ranks, and completely ignore how the enemies would be just as good and would instantly punish stupid strats despite them having good mechanics? You also then talk about how bad the enemies would be, completely ignoring how his teammates would be the same when he does an unranked to gm, and so despite the enemies not being able to get much help, he wouldnt be able to either, but he doesn’t need it, not because of his superior mechanics, but better positioning and timing. Mechanics are important, sure, but gamesense is much more pivotal. Awkward has done unranked to gms on brig and (im pretty sure) moira, many have done unranked to gm on mercy, and for god’s sake, people have done unranked to gm on rein without shield, and unranked to gm on winston with no hud, no sound, low resolution.

@4:00 Plat is a total shitshow. Unfortunately, because of placements people get placed into mid gold-low plat. Natural fluxuation means those go up and down naturally for quite a few games before either climbing or falling to lower ranks. The individual skill level between people varies greatly between players. You also consistently get people who can aim mid plat where people playing lower skill characters are suddenly punished only because people hit shots. Moira is one of the biggest offenders because until then most players just cant hit her when she 'dives forward' with fade, or a bastion gets value 50% of the time because people walk into his turret form.

[@Cuupi]

Well, I think theres a softstuck. Like if you are stuck in master 1 and cant go to GM 5 on one account but is a GM 5 on another account, because your skillrank is around there and now its a matter of having good teammates or bad teammates.

[@Nexusquo]

@@Cuupi oh, I’d definitely agree with that. It’s really the “hard stuck” for 6 months thing that gets me. Or if you start a new account and initially rank plat but fall to gold and never “get back to plat” it’s because you were never really plat. To your point my oldest account is several ranks lower than my other accounts in support and it can be infuriating playing quite well at a lower skill level and going 5-3 and having to spend countless hours playing just to rank it up to match.
