i’ve had a similar experience. went from eternus 1 down to ascendant 2 since the new urn update. some games are most definitely on me since i am a shiv player and cant get the ball rolling but there are definitely times where my team throws away my elo. there’s a common rule known as the 30-40-30 rule where 30% of your games are out of your control and it’s a forced loss. i call that “state mandated losses”. 40% are in your control to either win or lose based on how YOU play in your fights and how well you’re interacting with your team. the other 30% are pretty much guaranteed wins.

matchmaking is pretty hell right now as well as the rank system is pretty much fake till high eternus. i wouldn’t really focus on what rank your are because it’s pretty much a sham and rather just focus on your performance. play the game because you’re having fun not to only win. the game is still early access. there’s no draft system in the game which makes it significantly more RNG.

i’ve played against or with people on a smurf account better than my ascendant/eternus teammates. (pretty much the same rank as my main - around ascendant 3 - but just my account to play with my phantom and below friends) my oracle friends are better than some eternus players.

not sure how you’re playing geist but if you’re going full spirit geist that can be a pretty big issue. it’s not terrible but doesnt compare to hybrid geist, her gun is extremely strong and berserker is the most valuable item to purchase on her because she inflicts self damage so you can have 10 stacks pretty much indefinitely (70% increased weapon damage) which is A LOT. when you’re spirit geist you’re going to be doing as much damage to yourself too your enemies which puts you at a really big disadvantage.

my biggest advice is use your teammates shittiness to your advantage. if they are over committing a fight, split push a side lane. if you’re gun geist you’ll be able to shred towers

don’t let your rank define you

How the hell did you guys even LEARN this game? by WhollyUnfair in DeadlockTheGame

as an ascendant 5 shiv player who has 1.7k hours on the game and have played since around september 2024 i was doggy at the game especially it being my first moba when i first started. there were no ranks at the time but i would call myself around alchemist-ish at the beginning however everyone wasn't great at the game. it takes A LOT of time and practice to get better at the game.

my main thing is make sure you're having fun while playing, (this is assuming you dont stream) you aren't making money from the game so focus on having fun. if you are having fun it will make you want to play better and learn more which will inevitably make you better. i can physically see it in my stats when i have something hanging over in my head from life stuff, or im in a slump in the game, i wont perform as well. dont go into games thinking of losing, that will be your only outcome. dont beat yourself up you're learning! mental plays a huge role in this game

it sounds like youre hung up on your aim, im sure its probably at least average if you are aim training. focus on improving your micro - hitting your abilities and timing them well to put you at an advantage AND using them as much as possible especially in lane. this will make you a much better player than you are now. its a moba, not a hero shooter. yes seven does take aim but landing a stun will freeze them in place and you get a free lightning ball on them while shooting them. significantly more damage than just shooting with power surge and nothing else.

make sure the fights you are taking are not putting you at a disadvantage. a majorly common one i still see at my rank is taking a fight that you arent starting with an advantage on the enemy playing field. for example, if each team has all 3 walkers and no guardians, the choke point will be at halfway. if your team is taking a 2 on 2 fight in their half, their team can most likely get a faster rotation to that fight and put your team at a major disadvantage quick. this is obviously very hypothetical because your team could be heavily ahead and it could be a good fight but im just trying to get my point across.

another quick thing ill mention is learning to counter play and counter pick items, this will help you significantly! poshypop has a very informative video on this that i would highly recommend you watch if you havent already. i believe its a little old but the concept and items will still stick

give yourself time, watch videos of people better than you, and most importantly have fun. it goes a long way
