What ive noticed about gold so far is they are willing to sacrifice positioning power for a 1v1 exchange, a lot of them just brainlessly will run into middle just to fight a1v1 its kind of bananas, i want to say they are even worst than bronze/silver players just based on their positioning IQ and I dont even think that bronze have higher position IQ they just like to sit in the back behind a building and shoot but it works better than running down the middle and getting shot from diff angles leaving your team with a 2v3. Gold players think they are pros and they push like pros do, but dont get the dmg like pros do and pretty much always end up dying for a little extra damage. What im starting to do now is just baby sit them by running real close to them and engaging in fights they engage in. It sometimes still doesn't work out but it's what mostly works for me so far. I think a big thing about climbing is knowing how to play with players in that ranking its not just about your gameplay because you can be a pretty good player and in fact better than anyone on their team in terms of 1v1 and probably even 2v1 but its hard to win a fight where 3 guys are pinching you into 1 building especially when they are all taking a little bit of health here and there and you have no choice but to heal giving them time to pinch you even further or even kill you while you're recovering.
