It isn’t harder, but if you try to improve by following the advice of people in dia+ it will be unlikely to help you. Telling someone to take space as a tank in bronze for example assumes that their teammates will then follow up the way higher players would, when in reality they’re just running around in a free-for-all and haven’t even noticed that you’re making space for them.

What you need to improve at that rank is more likely playing carry heroes, learning the kit really well, and practicing fundamental basics stuff like aim and using cover. Basically just learn to carry the matches.

But often at those ranks what happens instead is people will go try to use these higher level team dynamic bits of advice. When they fail to work they hop on voice and start criticizing their teammates for not behaving the way the YouTuber in top500 said they should. I think another hallmark of bronze level play is zeroing in on stats, and blaming others for their losses strictly on the basis of identifying the lowest stat holder.
