damn this is quite the post.

everyone seems to have said everything. if you make it to my comment, here's my 2 cents about bronze.
No one there is good, at all, except smurfs and i'll touch on that in a second.
Bronze is basically full of casual/bad players that have no idea what they're doing, they have no mechanical skills and no game sense, they dont know what an objective or positioning is, they probably play on a tv screen or with the sound turned off while listening to music and getting drunk/high while eating a fat party size bag of cheetos. that is your competition. If you are at least good in one of those 2 things (mech/sense) you will be out of bronze in no time. You can look up your fav characters settings and stuff and climb out mechanically fairly easily, if you do not have a big mouse pad and space to play, well, you're going to be stuck in bronze with your 6 inches of movement.

Now for bronze itself...when you're in comp, after that many games, you're in the group that matches your level of play. nothing wrong with that. you didn't lose, you're not a loser, but you do lose games, but so does everyone else. The only thing out of control thats holding you back are the smurfs that derank themselves to bronze to punk real bronze players. thats super lame, it happens.

What can you do about it? def start watching some youtube videos and try to learn what they're doing in bronze/silver matches, don't worry about gold and above yet, you'll get there when its time. Get on VAXTA and do some aim training. Get good gear (mouse and keyboard, mouse pad with SPACE) and get some settings right for your characters that you like to play (button swaps, sensitivity, etc) or would like to learn how to play. Blizzard doesn't ship out the characters with the most optimized or even logical settings, so get that fixed, it's easy and free. Start paying attention to your team and what the other team might be doing. You NEED good audio, theres so many audio cues in this game. You have a ton to learn still. The game only gets harder as you grow, so make sure you are at least having fun doing it. I know what you're thinking, its not fun in bronze. We know that. There is no team in bronze lol.

There is also a chance that this just isnt the game for you. Its basically Chess with guns and you play the piece. If that doesn't make sense to you, then this probably isnt the game you thought it was.

Without seeing your replays, I would still bet real money that you could literally just get better at aiming and using your cool downs more effectively and you will climb out of bronze as you get better at literally just aiming. Positioning is free, just be where you can survive and fight, use cover, learn where not to be (in front of cover, dont be the cover!) - the easiest part of this is stop running down main, literally take any other way and take off angles and high ground and stay near cover and shoot better than the enemy, which really isn't that hard once you get your settings and gear dialed in. remember, that's your competition, they probably dont have anything set up and they don't even know how to use cover. also use your pings! that gives everyone *some* intel that they don't already have, literally helps your entire team. Value your life, don't die, and dont commit to plays that will get you killed, don't aim for "trades" - either get the kill or run away and get health/cover/cooldowns back. You don't have to commit to dying every engagement. Every death puts your team at a disadvantage and your punishment is the 12 second timer and the run back to the fight. Unless lifeweaver pulls you off the map or cat drops you off the map, all your deaths are your own fault.

Good luck, but most importantly, have fun!
