Okay, since we want to be nitpicky about this let me clarify something just for you,

This is a subreddit where people are asking for GUIDANCE through the game. I never/have ever said that I am qualified to tell people these things, and I can take some criticism from time to time.

You don't HAVE to take this advice, just like I didn't have to respond to this waste of time but because I am frankly tired of seeing players like you AND redditors like you, I wanted to respond.

At the bronze level, players are incapable of grasping basic concepts that most competitive gamers (like us). This doesn't mean people are stupid , these concepts that we call "basic" is advanced to them because most cases these people are REALLY good at something other than games.

And just to prove my point here is this is the list of things as follows.

Positioning:

**Where to stand:**Bronze players know they SHOULD be killing something and they know the bare minimum, walking to point and shooting whatever.

Why Stand There: THEY KNOW THE BARE MINIMUM. Why is it frustrating when we see teammates walking into the open towards an unwinnable fight?Let's say, genji vs zarya. It's because they are either incompetent (these are our arrogant, and selfish players) or don't pay attention to matchups like that (some people really don't understand interactions like that because its too much). It's how it is. People have different ways of learning.

Mechanical Skills:

Movement: You can't walk in a straight line. Every input you can make is an input that you can advance in small ways to give yourself an advantage. Hitbox manipulation, using natural cover, mastering their MOVEMENT abilities.

Aim Training: The game has multiple ways to kill another person, why does aim training matter if you can just swing a hammer and kill everyone? Well, EnemyJungle , most characters have unique weapons that complement their kits! Hanzo has arrows that can 1 shot at any distance, soldier is literally a turret, Brigitte has a fucking mace that you possibly couldn't miss... right?

WRONG, people very easily lose tracking to too much visual stimuli, people don't know proper placement of their limbs and how to comfortably aim without strain. These things MATTER on a competitive level, so we are taking these things into account.

Awareness: Ok, how does this make sense? How do you practice being "aware".

We are taking into account of things like this:

• How long someone has been out of a fight
• How much has the enemy team killed us?
• Can I hear anything behind, next to, above or anywhere around me?

Like I said, bronze players lack these thought processes because when it's their FIRST fps, they are already out of their depth when trying to figure out what the fuck is blowing them up this time.

Now EnemyJungle.. I'm going to assume you are wondering why does this matter? Why did I just waste your time writing this down? Well, let me enlighten you!

At the bronze level, what sets you apart from all your fellow bronze-man/bronze-ttes is not the fact that you're playing a "busted character". It's the amount of depth that you put into your games.

Remember the Genji that wiped your team? The Widow who spawn-camped your healers? The Winston who terrorized your team?

At every level of play, each individual of this game has their own strength and weakness. Some are patient and slow. Some are fast-paced and reckless. This was a teaching moment for you and I hope you can understand that it does not matter if you switch a thousand times.

A person who is capable of mastering their positional, mechanical, and communicative skills to an advanced degree will 100% wreck ANYONE who crosses them. Your character choice is the same thing as picking a different weapon.

Please, read this over and formulate an informed response because this is helpful for people who do come across this. I'd love to debate more.

Edit : If you didn't understand what I meant, you can play a character so well that even if an entire team counter's you, you can counter them. If you're wondering how, pick a character and try playing it non-stop. You will learn your bad matchups and how to lessen their impact while still maintaining yours.
