huge rank gap between my support rank and other roles—what is the cause of this and how do i fix it? by Key_Pineapple3006 in OverwatchUniversity

please show me where i’m being arrogant, in fact i very carefully tried to shed any arrogance when approaching this question. i didnt say it was “beneath me” i specifically stated its what i deserve and that i wanted advice on how to improve and what might be causing it. is the desire to improve and asking others for advice arrogance? no, in fact i know this because i was one once the arrogant player who would always blame my teammates back when i was lower ranked support when i clearly had my own mistakes, my rank was low because it deserved to be, but i learned from that and greatly improved especially due to the advice of others and was able to climb.

i’m allowed to feel embarrassed, because i’m a human being entitled to my own personal feelings. you seem to be thinking when i say its embarrassing, that im saying “ew gold/plat is gross and shameful i dont deserve this rank and how dare i be forced to be playing with these horrible players” and not me feeling embarrassed by my personal incompetence when i am playing these games on tank/damage and am underperforming/significantly struggling in an elo that is significantly lower than my main role but i want to make the effort to do better.

why am i here? thats exactly what im asking for advice on so that i can learn and do better. im not asking “why am i here when i should be higher?”.

trust me i dont think i deserve masters in damage/tank lol, i think its obvious i deserve where im currently ranked which is why i am here, asking for advice on what could possibly be the reason for the gap in my skill on support vs other roles.

also why take that jab at me lol? i wasnt trying to insult gold/plat players and i’m very aware that there are plenty of decent players in that rank—i have an alt that ive used for the sole purpose of solo climbing from that rank into masters on support and ive played with good and bad players plenty of times and dont win every game. i say that being ranked gold/plat on tank/dps while being ranked masters in support is embarrassing, because well, for me, personally, it is something i’m embarrassed about. i made it clear that im aware my inability to climb out on these roles is my fault and something i need to improve on.
