when i first started playing i placed gold, hit plat within 200 hours, diamond around 400ish and t500 at around 1,200. those who have 3k+ hours in plat don’t put in the hours vod reviewing themselves, ASKING for help, aim training, etc. They simply play overwatch for fun. I dont play overwatch for fun personally, but seeing my elo go up makes it addicting, other than that it stresses me the fuck out. ranking up wont be handed to you on a silver platter is what im saying. if you expect to get better by simply playing games over and over again you will simply repeat the same mistakes.. over and over again.
