[@moonpig660]

i feel like this person did comp awhile ago when they were bronze and then only does placements to see how much they improved and keep getting bronze and think they are still bronze without doing more comp matches out of placements lol

[@sadakotetsuwan9229]

especially since nobody else in the match has finished their placements either. I started playing in comp back when I still had terrible Time Warner wifi, and it still took a while to climb out of bronze even when my lag wasn't spiking in the middle of team fights. More matches is the solution.

[@hououinkymeowma2381]

Yup, was going to say the same thing. It's my issue too. Went on a 20 game win streak in quick play..then switch to comp, where it placed me in bronze on my min account and lose 4 in a row..lol Then get placed 3360 on my alt..

[@jonthorne5357]

Me in gold basically

[@sketchtastrophe2591]

Agreed. I have a friend who played in the first three seasons then due to poor connection didn't do comp again until season 17 and he was convinced he'd place high plat or diamond because of the people he often faces in QP. However he ended up placing low silver. He was like so despondent about it, but silver was on par with his only other comp seasons. It takes time to grind your way out of a rank. New season doesnt mean huge jump in sr.

This is pretty normal. Generally the tanks and healers are useless in bottom 500. If the healers are useless, the tanks are useless, if the tanks are useless the dps are useless.

[@pedrosilvaproductions]

@@goodboythings7343 yes and no. If your tanks are useless and the sups are useless thrn their tanks and sups are also useless. Whenever you start noticing that they re like that, you start relying on your team mates less (e.g. playing tracer and avoiding damage, healing yourself neith health packs) you start climbing. I remember climbing out of gold by basically exploiting their weakness as zarya. I was ultra agressive they started firing at me panicking and i wss high charge constantly. Result: climbed from 2.1k to 2.7 straight up with 89% win rate as zarya lol

[@Benjamin8693]

Livestreams can be good, but I honestly think you should ignore the chat. While it would be nice to get input, if you treat it like a proper livestream you may end up having these videos go on for two or three hours.

[@MrNovember41]

I suspect it's a smurf trying to fool Sty. His core mechanical skill (Aiming, tracking etc) suggests he's probably a gold but his logic and game sense really hold him back and stop him from climbing. He probably feels hard-stuck and created this account to play dps/play with his friends. Either that or this is the best game of Overwatch he's ever played.

[@itsryleeduhh]

@@MrNovember41 his aim is way higher than most gold players even, I've seen a lot of bad aim in gold XD especially with Tracer cause for Tracer its different then just core aim, its tracking while making 7 meter at a time movements and then having to readjust as compared to a widow standing still lol, so not only is your target moving but you yourself are moving a lot as well, just my view on it.

[@pr0ddimi]

It's not a throw away ult when the enemy has one hp

[@lotsanervinla3132]

Simple stuff I’d recommend- Mechanics: 1st, practice blink-turns to quickly lock on targets. Turns after blink are quite slow. 2nd, practice a blink q and blink 180 q until it’s super fast. Q’s were delayed for sure. Gameplay: 1st, engage from angles like Sty said. 2nd, don’t engage deep without cooldowns. 3rd, and this may be the most important thing to focus on while playing at the moment, focus targets instead of spraying here and there. You’ll climb if you get good at the basics. Not a bad player

I think perhaps that is the point. He doesn’t feel like he should be in bronze, yet since he is only a little better than his team and not 10000% better, he can’t carry every time and just stays in bronze.

[@inmysoul_TLH]

thts the problem with this game. relies too heavily on every team member performing their best to win.. majority of time at least one teammate on both sides deserves to derank or stay where they are while others deserve to be rank up. even top 500 struggle to carry and entire team....

[@nerdemojireal]

SlytherinKitten- I am in that current situation right now. I am a bronze support player and the teams I have played in were just god awful. Today I had this rein that would keep 1v1ng the enemy rein, giving our team no protection at all. Our dps were also not very good, and i tried my best to heal my team but I couldn’t because I kept on dying. On all my matches, I always got cards for the most healing. It makes me feel so frustrated that I have to deal with these teams when I have so much more potential than that

[@Rafael-bq9yp]

hannah If you’re not good enough to climb to a higher rank, you don’t deserve better teammates. Everyone has dealt with bad teammates to get to where they are now, it’s not that you’re just unlucky. You have to be a lot better than the average player in your rank to climb out of it alone, because it’s a team game, but everyone that is in that higher rank has done that..

[@Yazimo]

@@inmysoul_TLH so if you get good team mates and they carry you, did you deserve the rank? not really lol, then ur just carried, if you carry your self then you deserve the rank. and no t500 players dont "struggle" to carry entire teams even on diamond. losing 1 game now and then? yes that happens, but its usually because of leaver or something and they still hit GM usually with ~85% winrate if they do unranked to GM, if they do bronze to GM they usually have 90%+ winrate. also I hate stylosa always hyping how good the players are. the fact is this tracer has bad aim. prolly around 30% acc even tho hes shooting a lot of tanks, taking bad fights, poking too long range. hes value is really bad and thats why hes in bronze. a low hp enemy heals walks to hes crosshair and he gets a kill? "wow good job!" - stylosa, no that wasnt good job, the enemy just happened to walk in the crosshair low hp.

[@Yazimo]

@@nerdemojireal hope you realize that you basically always get gold on healer on healing, and even when your doing awfully you get silver healing...

@@cry_stain nah but their aim feels clunky to watch in a way and it feels like they react slowly to some different things sometimes, idk if they just arent paying enough attention, are using controller or have a low sens but I immediately noticed that their aim is very smooth too which is good but the smoothness could be due to having too low of a sens

[@4Exia]

Crystian Pedroza no but if you go closer or further, you need to adjust on the y axis but they are literally going side to side, that’s it

"Why are you X rank?" Because you need to win a loooot of matches to climb. You lose 1 match and you lose like... the equivalent SR of 2-3 wins. In OW even if you played good but lost the game, you are going to sink in. If your teammates played bad, you also pay for that. Rank doesn't matter but it defines more or less the kind of people you'll be playing with =(

A really valid point! Oh.... we usually get about -50 for a loss and between +15-20 for a win so the ratio is even worst!

[@sixpoundsandfortyninepence]

if you lose a lot of sr for losses, it means the game placed you higher than it thinks you should be. so it's trying to match your current SR to your MMR (MMR being your "actual" rank/sr, you could say)

man you underrestimate bronze player, today i was in a game, 6 in voicechat we did like 3 nanoblade and 1 grav combo, it was really fun

[@tayterftw440]

I was stuck in Bronze for a year. I did my placements a year ago when I first started playing and got stuck in Bronze because I was shite haha. But over the last year and a bit I've improved a lot, watched coaching videos, found my mains in every role, learned to flex, etc. And I don't only do placements, I play through each season trying to climb. When role queue came out, I placed in bronze again in every role, and climbed up to silver in tank in one night with Rein. But I kept hovering between the bronze and silver border with tank, and stuck in Bronze still with everything else. So I bought a new account to see where I would place without my original placements holding me back because I felt I wasn't a bronze player anymore. Turns out I placed in Gold in every role, and close to plat in support 😂 Original placements and general shitty solo queue nonsense can really hold you back.

[@theshenanigamer3341]

Placements are horribly skewed. If you can't climb out of Bronze, you're either legitimately Bronze or an extremely unlucky silver.

[@realglutenfree]

You got placed in gold cause on new accounts you always get placed higher than you belong. You still dont really deserve gold. But maybe you wont drop out of it now cause staying in an elo is easier than climbing to it. Still, good for you. Only your teammates will suffer for a while but you will probably learn faster from your mistakes in a higher elo, so it may be worth it. If you dont believe me, I have gone through the same thing. Im in high plat now.

[@miguelhernandez3012]

I know why he stayed in spawn. Low elo tanks tend to follow flanking tracers for some reason, killing the point of flanking. So you either go with you team and reposition later or wait for them to go for a path then take another.

[@fragalot]

Seems to me that doing live streams is easier since: - You don't have to record anything locally to your PC - You don't have to edit the video - No need to render the video out - No need to upload the video All of those things can take hours for a lot of people. The only thing you have to consider is your set up, so you'll wanna have pre-made intro video and outro video that you can queue on command in OBS (or Xsplit, whatever you use), and any other scenes and effects you want to use during the live stream. Plus if you flub, you can't edit it out since it's Live but that's what's endearing to live streamers anyway, the derps and fuckups. GG Sty.

The first thing that helped me out of bronze was going into quick play and trying to get 0 deaths. I went from an average of 9 or 10 deaths a game to 1 or 2. You can also take advantage of the bad bronze players and play doom/ sombra and mess them up if you know how to play them

[@madnessman1520]

@@makimasdog4359 what rank are you in now might I ask because trying to play to get no deaths isn't really a helpful tactic to climb like you should still take risks sometimes. Focus on your positioning and make sure you understand your role and who you should be focusing depending on what hero your playing. Deaths should never be your main priority

[@makimasdog4359]

madnessman 15 I’m in master now. Playing zero deaths helped me but there are definitely more ways to climb. I also just completely one tricked a hero but that’s just cuz I’m toxic lol. I’m not saying zero deaths is the best way I was just able to get out of fights where I usually should’ve died and I started to strafe and run to avoid being headshot. Whatever strat helps you climb is a good one and good luck :)

[@VvMythWolfvV]

Trouble is once the Overwatch algorithm thinks it has your rank pegged, you are basically stuck there. The system will not let you climb as you loose far to many points when you lose and gain far to few when you win. He may be a good tracer but he is stuck in bronze because the system thinks he is bronze.

[@huntinghunter1001]

The problem with low rank Overwatch is that if you’re good, it doesn’t matter. I once went on a losing streak so bad that I went from near gold to below 1k SR. Was it me? No, I was doing my part as either a healer or tank, but the team aspect of the game completely screws over a lot of low rank people because of a lack of communication. The only way to get out of such a low SR is to either hard carry literally all of your games, be lucky enough to queue up with a group that wants to coordinate AND stay with you for a while, or just queueing up with a predetermined group

I think what is going on is, this game is almost 4 years old. Our bronze thru GM have been playing for a long time and have unlimited amount of coaching resources now. We have been following tons of streams and the Overwatch League. It's my guess that our Bronze players now are the Plats of the past. As this player gets better, so have everyone else in the ranks. Dunno if this makes sense to everyone but it's my guess.

Y’know Sty, it’s easy to look like you got great accuracy when the enemy runs in a straight line, plus I love that you say he’s not bronze constantly because aim alone, but his decision making, positioning both say otherwise, the other thing is, he’s facing other bronze so it can make you look better than you are, that’s one thing I learned when climbing out of Bronze in League of Legends ranked

[@vane909090]

100% accurate. His aim is dogshit, he just appears good, because he's hitting the easiest targets ever. But notice when the enemies start moving a around a bit more, not in a straight line, he misses like 90% shots. His bombs were not even close to achieving anything. Sty loves exaggerating in his coaching videos. This guy is nowhere near plat in this video.

The problem with bronze is that things like "pick off one person, so it'll be 5vs6 and your team will win" doesn't hold. In Bronze, it's never 5 vs 6, because at least 3 members of each team will just run into the enemy the second they spawn. The result is too random. You can't reliably carry that much randomness up to a definitive win, not enough times to make a decent difference. Not to mention the fact that the other team probably also has a player that shouldn't be in bronze. They're quite common. (Yes, i've been in bronze, found it near impossible to get back to silver.)

I used to be bronze but I climbed and I'm almost gold he must of been throwing on purpose

[@soariticus6944]

I've been stuck in bronze since placements every time, I'm an Ana main, carrying as support is near enough impossible. I can sit there and be a godlike healer, but if my rein keeps charging into the enemy and my tracer goes head-first into the enemy team, theres nothing I can do. I've played with some smurfs and they've told me I should prob be plat or at LEAST gold with my Ana, obviously that's just 3 people's opinions but I have watched about 20-30 hours of Stylosa on OverAnalyzed, I do all of these things - My positioning is good 4/5 times - Have about 70-80% hitrate (with Ana, average) - I have good gamesense (came from Diamond in Rainbow6Siege where I picked that up) All of that, but I can't get out of bronze because I just play Support and it sucks ass. Without a viable team, you can't climb out of your elo as a support, it's ridiculous. After about 4 days of grinding, I just keep going between about 1000(or less) and 1200 SR on support, and honestly have no idea what I'm doing wrong.

[@tylersoexclusive713]

Soariticus a lot of people tend to always blame their team about why they’re placed the way they are. The truth of the matter is, if you’re really that much better than your placement, it would be easy to carry in a tier such as bronze. You should easily be able to get 1-3 picks very fast and statistically if the fight is 5-6 you win 80% of the time. So just imagine if you got 2 before they got any of your team. Even if they happen to get one you still have the advantage. If you’re really trying to climb SR in support I would use a support that can heal A LOT cause bronze team comps are trash and they run healers that dont have a lot of healing (for ex they might use lucio and zen). Baptise is an extremely good healer and he can also do a lot of damage if you can aim. That being said don’t treat him as a DPS like a lot of lower tier players do. If I were you I’d send in a clip to overanalyzed and try to get him to critique your gameplay. It’s easy to say you’re doing everything right. If you’re bronze that’s not the case

[@soariticus6944]

@@tylersoexclusive713 Thanks for the reply, but sending in a clip *to me* is statistically not worth the effort. I'm an Ana main, and in bronze, claiming to be there unfairly, the chance of me getting picked is so incredibly small that it would barely be worth the effort to record/upload(which would take a while). The thing with being able to carry, I have been playing a bit of dps the last few days, and have rapidly been gaining SR (currently sitting at 1600 whilst I started at 980), but my aim isn't the best, it's not bad, I have about a 60% hitrate with characters like McCree, (80% hitrate with Ana btw) but the way I do good as DPS is because of being able to think, have good positioning, knowing who you should focus, and knowing when to disengage, not because my aim is good. The problem is that I play DPS and Support so much differently, as Support I'm just trying to heal everyone and keep myself out of harms way, but as DPS I play a bit more risky (because I know generally I can out-play the enemy), while playing exclusively Baptiste just to get out of Bronze is a very fair comment, I don't like playing Baptiste, and tend to play him a bit too aggressive, and dont focus on healing as much as I should. I'll install a recording software and record some games, hoping I'll get picked, but it's unlikely. If you'd like, I can also send you the video so that you can see that I am indeed NOT a bronze player, yet still stuck.

I started playing Overwatch on console and hit platinum in the first season I played and got into Diamond for the next few, got the money to buy it on PC but was having issues with my GPU driver and it crashed my computer on 7 out of 10 of my placement matches and I got placed in Silver. Long story short, I couldn't stand trying to grind out of silver and didn't want to go back to console, and I ended up joining a collegiate esports team for overwatch but outside of our tournaments, I couldn't play the game competitively. Now I don't play it at all anymore.

[@Killstone12]

16:22 Good job getting the Torb, but It looks to me like you were focusing the turret. I get that the turret with aimbot can fuck you up as tracer so I’ll say this. Torb turret autolocks onto the nearest and first enemy in LOS/Cone range . If it locks onto a tank it will continue to fire at said tank even if you are right next to it so long as the tank doesn’t break LOS with the turret. So, if you see the turret firing at someone else as a dps you know you can get away with ignoring it until you hear the sound of it firing on you.

[@FantasticHaz_2]

Sty, one big problem is sometimes a player is just playing decent, consistently play decent, but it's still a 50/50 on whether they'll win or lose because they're not playing well enough or bad enough for it to determine their rank. I never like blaming the team, but sometimes you get great coordination, great team comp etc, and sometimes you don't, and for a lot of players it's stuff like that that determines your rank. That's why rank doesn't matter in my opinion, just play your best every game and try to make it work out.

It's hard to get out of bronze because there are a lot of diamond level players down there who are throwers and smurfs. If you are a gold skilled player, you aren't good enough to carry your team, so you get stuck against the randomness of which team gets more throwers and smurfs.
