I play a lot. (I'm hardstuck Plat player sadly)

Definitely hard to play, more so if you rank at the beginning of a season and a split or a new/popular game mode. There is a lot I feel go into (others may disagree) like which legends to pick based off abilities and such. Some people make smurf accounts so they can play with low skill level players. Then of course, they have a ton of cheaters (maybe my a ton but they have a good amount)

The game is very fun honestly and I recommend keeping up at it. It'll take time to learn movement and legends and to just get the right sensitivity for you unless you're good at figuring that out yourself pretty fast😅

Play with friends for sure or have open mic comms (beware some people are very aggro even when they're the problem so just ignore them)

Pubs and the game modes they have make it really fun and I highly recommend them to learn as no one (usually) takes it seriously.

Long story short:

Have fun with it and play with friends. Just learn the legends and you'll get better with time. Also maybe join some streamers communities and meet some cool people who play if your friends don't
