If you don't think you're a smurf. You're a smurf.

They should give us 3k coins as thanks.
[QUOTE=xZippy;52160982]As painfully stupid as some players are, I'm so glad there's no natural "votekick" in this game.[/QUOTE]
Grouped players would abuse of it.
At the single mistake, you'll get kicked.
Sometimes I hate this game and other times I love it. Playing Monkey Man is so much fun, Reaper too. Other times you just wanna punch the other team or have a giggle with them, there is so much to do!.
duh, dva wasn't available to play because she was busy training at a police academy

or maybe she played mighty switch force for an hour
After ~65 levels' worth of mostly playing Lucio, I've decided to diversify my portfolio. I'm a fan of Junkrat already, but lately I've been playing Mercy, Pharah, S:76 and, a surprising favourite of mine, Winston. He's so good for picks on light and weakened heroes and general harassment/area denial. What I've come to truly understand is the function of his dome; choose someone to separate from the enemy group or find a wanderer and jump around from inside to outside of the barrier so they hit it and not you as you fry them. Also great for denying Ana heals, of course.
so I was pretty happy with my performance seeing that silver's the 85th percentile until I realized that meant that 85% of players are BETTER than me
so that's cool

Yeah it's
Bronze < Silver < Gold < Platinum < Diamond < Master < Grandmaster
I'm too salty about getting placed in Bronze to even try climbing lmao
Anyone noticed that for some reason people are just being magically dropped from your team when they are in the middle of fighting someone? I was just in a CTF match and I was healing my teammates and two of them just popped and were out of the game yet they were in a fight?

Then how else will you improve?

If you're even halfway decent you should be able to climb out of bronze ezpz. At that low of a rank you get a lot of SR per win, and a shitload on a streak.

This. I placed at one win away from silver this season and each win was like +40-60 SR which made me climb superfast
Old glod?

The only Winston loadout you'll ever need:

Does anyone happen to have any pointers for escaping Silver/Gold Tier (preferably ones that don't involve "queue up with 5 friends")?
My Win/Lose rate is basically 50:50 so I don't go anywhere and I can't help but feel as though there's something I'm missing. Do I break the "consecutive match" streak if I exit the match during the post-game Commendation/EXP screen?

50:50 is where they want you to be. It should mean that this is your "Real" rank.
[QUOTE=RenegadeCop;52162718]There's a bit of luck involved with teammates, too, when you go solo.
One game can feel like I'm against grandmasters, and the next will feel like I am grandmaster.[/QUOTE]
"A bit" is a huge understatement.
I've been stuck around 2300 ( 2300-2700 ) across all seasons and my winrate has never been above 40%.

the placement matches take your last season's rank into consideration

Then how can I improve? Like, teamwork-wise? I know it's a bit of a crapshoot when solo-queuing, but is there anything that would make it a less painless experience and help me climb to Platinum?

My strategy was always to main whoever was OP at the moment. Once it was zen, once zarya, last season ana. Since nobody's that op at the moment I'm stuck in gold
So how exactly do you have to do in HotS to get the dva skin? You have to just play 5 games or do you have to some stupid challenge or quest or some shit

Gotta do the Genji quest before you can do the Dva quest, and the Dva quest first unlocks in a few days.
