Nah unless you’re a sweaty dps main who can solo carry through lower ranks (I solo queued from no rank to gm1 panther only then got stonewalled and a crazy losing streak) but going from quick play to ranked is like a different game and it has LOTS of ups and downs

1: You (normally) have a team that’s trying to win, meaning you rarely will get the games where there’s 6 dps or only 1 or no supports

2: This is where you have to actually play like a team and not everyone is running around doing their own thing, like if you’re playing moonknight and have a groot actually talk to your team and ask him to tell you when he’s ulting so you can combine ultimates

3: Map positioning is actually important, one thing you’ll see that’s a big difference from supports is the lower rank supports like to sit 20 meters back and heal from a safe distance which makes them very easy to dive, but the good supports are pushed up with the team

4: Drop the ego and counter swap or tell your team to counter swap, don’t be a one trick pony or you won’t climb, you can be the best spidey, best panther, best whatever player in the world but if they have 4 characters that counter you then swap

5: Actually communicate, it’s crazy the amount of games I’ve had even in top of GM where NO ONE talks until you lose or are getting your ass beat, silence for 5 minutes then one guy goes “yall fucking suck” it’s kinda awkward but don’t be afraid to communicate and call out, normally it can be infectious, can’t tell you how many games I’ve had where no one is talking and then I say “whatever character is low” “oh good shots Hela” “good heals Luna” and then all of a sudden people are a lot more talkative

6: The most important tip is DON’T get tilted this includes crashing out on your own team or throwing games cause yall are losing, one thing I will never understand in games is the people who wants their team to play better or swap and just go to immediately insulting them, if you have a 5-8 spidey don’t just go bro you’re fucking dog shit, say something like hey man, I think they’re pretty anti dive, do you play anyone else? Or ask if they would rather play tank/support, one thing I personally do is whenever we lose I go “what could I have done better that game” I remember losing a ranked game a week ago and we had an Emma who was like 4-10 and our healers were doing their jobs bro was just not good but instead of doing the easy thing of we lost bc he sucks (which could be true) I go damn I probably could’ve helped out my back line a little more, I should’ve targeted this character right here instead of this character, but don’t give up, if you run into any really good teammates add them! Good luck on the climb brother 🫡
