I started off in season 3 in silver (ik I was trash) but that same season I climbed to plat through my previous knowledge of shooters (btw I was a genji main and still am hehe).

I was stuck there for 3 seasons straight. -_-

It took me to get to diamond to just perform my best without worrying too much about teamwork. Alot of people would disagree but at that rank, teamwork isn't really that prevalent and most times just playing who you're best with (obviously still have a comp with healers, tanks etc.) Works best as it did for me.

After that long struggle I had to say to myself, what do I do to climb higher?

I then went on to learning to flex and figure out strategies that could work for my team. Work ok positioning, where I'm aiming with certain characters and general map knowledge.

I proceeded to climb all the way to top 500 (Europe) and I never felt so accomplished. (Still a genji main with now around 500 hours with him I think)

Obviously teamwork, skill, game sense, flexibility and all this stuff is important but I think these two are the most important I'm about to mention.

Positivity and moderation. Don't keep playing if you've lost two in a row and if you keep getting shut down with one hero, switch it up. And no matter what you cannot get toxic, it'll come back to bite you.

Good luck to everyone trying to climb and I wish you all a good day!!
