    Bronze players claim that their rank is harder than higher ranks since their teammates don't know what they are doing. I decided to test the field and go play some games in Bronze to see what it's like, results might be shocking.
    What is your excuse?

      That’d be rly interesting I think. Everyone in bronze seem to think “healers” (as they call them) are only there to heal bot and that’s it when really that’s useless in most ranks but ESPECIALLY bronze with a completely incapable team. It’d be cool to see whether it’s possible to get out of bronze with no damage done at all since it relies so heavily on his teammates. Not to hate on this video, it was entertaining and obviously meant as a joke but for someone of his level, obviously this challenge is easy, bro got over 70 elims in one game as bap LMAO he doesn’t exactly have the dps skill of a bronze. I find it funny how toxic his teammates were even tho he was winning games when they’d probably love it if he was heal botting and had no damage even tho that’d almost definitely get him less wins.

      TBH, if you’re heal-focused but surviving and healing the right allies, you can still do a lot in low rank. A lot of low-rank players refuse to help anyone while they are being aggressive, whether it’s because they’re scared or just don’t notice/aren’t prepared, and they end up dumping a lot of healing into fights that are already basically lost (or could only be turned around with damage). If your teammate disengages before you heal them, it’s too late.

      ​@@santiagogalf Hmm, I don't buy that argument. Statistically the other team is not going to have better players than yours, so if your team's missing their shots, the other team is as well. In that scenario, identifying the (relative) strengths of your team and smartly doing healing and other support effects (e.g. discord orb, sleep, anti-nade, damage boost) to give them an edge, plus maybe shotcalling, seems like a reasonable way to climb as a support.

The rank system in ow2 is like this: "if u are good, your teammates will be bad and the other team will be good". Why? To push u to learn more skills. As a main support, I can vouch for this. I always start the matches healing more than dpsing. And in 80% of the cases, I have to start dpsing more than healing in the second round, if I wanna win. All the games I have won are the ones in which as a support I did a lot of damage. I sometimes have more kills than my dps and tank. And yeah, I am still in bronze even if my stats are clean. I know that's a me problem, I am trying to figure out what matters in ranking up. Cuz my feeling is that the only thing that matters are the stats, not the win/lose rate. But I am still experimenting this.

      bronze/silver players have this delusion that lucio is one of the best supports to play... not for his speed boost or peel capabilities or even for his damage but because he can heal multiple people at once without having to aim. It's not unusual to run into mercy/lucio or zen/lucio comps and have the lucio lead the lobby in healing by the end of the match against teams running anna or moira.
      works great until those players hit a rank level where the sojourn/ashe/widow players can aim and lucio starts dying early in fights cause he's on the ground in the open.

      Well, you see... This is a team game where people that queue a role should fill said role and play in a team instead of being that person who "carries", because that is why they are in the same rank. To be a team and fill the gaps. Not to go in "ooga booga I have no dps I go brr" and then other people on the team literally end up as a fail on the rank up because of having to keep dying for no reason than just the support "having to carry" (you don't, nobody needs to carry, it's not a deathmatch, it's a team game and if people work together it always works)...
      This is why you see so manny supports be blamed in low ranks, they see these and end up forgetting to heal at all or not relying on the team ever without even asking for communication and help.

    i think the complaints about not healing are part of the "default" problem in low ranks. everyone has this conception of how the game is "supposed" to be played. Like that every fight should happen on the cart every time," or that "healers are supposed to heal," etc. They get upset with people they see who don't do these things. But in actuality, they don't understand how the game actually works, so they don't understand why things are happening. This is why low ranked players think Orisa is OP, because they're all shooting at the Orisa and ignoring the two supports keeping the Orisa alive. So Orisa feels really OP when really its their fault for not killing the supports the Orisa needs to stay alive.

      This is exactly correct. I've been a bronze silver player for years because I love trying to help my team. I'm never trying to carry via elims, aside from rare opportunities. I understand why I'm low rank. I'm playing the way they expect me to play. I like it. What they expect and how they often play is very wrong though. Healing people that play wrong doesn't often help win games. Of course the other team is playing wrong too, so sometime the support difference matters.

      This is the main problem as a support, handling this, rather than the bad performance of your team. Its a struggle to kinda keep your team happy so they do not perform even worse and carrying them. Handling the toxicity, them getting worse bc theyre tilted, u staying focused on what u have to do instead of letting them influence to become a heal bot. And this is some "meta-gaming" supports have to live with because of DPS players usually being braindead or having waaaaay to much ego. This is just an extra layer a support has to do, on top of doing more dmg than a DPS and healing your team enough so they dont die and u win teamfights. The mental is by far the biggest skill a support needs to get, and this is likely harder than technical skills such as aim that you can just practively learn. PPL dont give supports enough credit, and are mostly just oblivious to how this game works, that a healer is not a healer, but a support, etc

    Imo you can blame teams only for specific games. If you say "bad teams are the only reason I'm in X rank" then that's copium. If you see your rein charge in alone everytime or see DPS getting a negative KDA then you can point out in that game what was lacking. As bad as the overwatch Matchmaking is, you won't get bad teammates every single time to the point where you can't rank up.

I know that I do it, and I know that I don’t realize it until I watch my vods back but I’m trying to get better at that and at changing my mindset to a “what I can do” instead of “what my team isn’t doing”.

When I'm not zoned out and I'm playing my best, I don't die unless the usual flank comes from behind. I still can't blame my team even when i get the usual throwers. If my aim was better and I play the best angles, it's hard for bronze players to catch me unless they have a Smurf account.

      @@pradelbonnet9633 best advice I could give you to help you get out of bronze (if you even want it lol) prioritize your life before anyone else in the game. Your tank or dps goes and yeets themselves into the enemy and out of your line of sight don’t endanger yourself to heal them. You alive is way more impactful in your games than dead. Stay alive.
      Know when a teammate is a lost cause and not worth your resources. Don’t flame them but don’t waste your time on them either.
      If your dps or tank is not getting value don’t give them resources. Especially tanks. If your tank is constantly going way too deep and feeding the enemy alt charge and not creating space or getting kills on their back line don’t heal them. It would better for you to damage and try to kill their dps or supports in that situation. Watching replays of your games is great in learning when your team is getting value and when they are not and will inform you when you should give resources and when not to.
      If you dps with Ana don’t dps tanks unless they are very low and you can get the kill. 3 shots is all it takes to kill any dps or support in the game.
      Last thing, go into your games with a goal. Not “I want to win” but something like, “this game I’d like to not die more than 4 times” if that is a goal ahead of your game you will subconsciously work towards that and play for your life and in turn you will play better and win more. Stay calm in your games and relax. You will play at your potential if you are not tensed up.
      Good luck climbing. You can do it!

    Rule #1 of videogaming with your fellow people, focus on yourself, don't worry about the other lovely people. Focus on having a good time and improving as a bonus, the ladder is just a number anyways, it doesn't inform anyone on your self worth. The winners are the people having the most fun, and it comes back, as winning is fun, so you win the most by having the most fun. So just focus on fun, which puts you in the zone and allow you to reach levels of play you didn't know you had in yourself. Plus what's fun about this mental trick is that you will attract other fellow lovely people who also vibe the same as you do, so you have fantastic fun games free of drama, all day long.
