Sometimes you get teammates in plat/gold lobbies who genuinely play like bronze players, and your whole team gets trapped in spawn because the enemy team is way better

Other times, you get matched against “bot level” players and can win while barely trying

Yesterday I started at Gold 1 and ended at Silver 2. Played 14 matches, barely won 1 because someone left the enemy team, and lost the other 13 without a single decent match. I was losing my mind every game

Today was better and I had some fun matches, but of course I still got matched with some bot skill level teammates

For context: I mostly play ranked support

How do games differ from plat to you?

I recently climbed up to D3 from Plat 2 in the span of a couple of months. And i noticed the games in D3 feel kinda *slow*?

I dunno, i feel like there is much less going on. Sometimes i can hear the ambient sounds of the map because it is so silent. I guess people don’t run down main and spam their cooldowns as much.

It feels more deliberate, each step has purpose, each cooldown has purpose. They are more careful when flanking. And i thought i was the passive one lol

But when i watch GM gameplay it kinda goes back to the spammy games.

Maybe it’s because i work during the afternoon and come home at night. Idk

Greetings! My name is B4MVFAN (B4), and I recently started offering Overwatch coaching/VOD reviews on Fiverr for players looking to improve their ranked consistency and overall understanding of the game. For the first month that i'm starting, i am offering 1 FREE session for those who are curious and want to check out my skills!

My coaching focuses less on “just aim better” and more on:

• positioning & timing

• fight planning

• ult economy

• awareness & decision making

• understanding team comps/meta

• fixing autopilot habits

I’ve spent 8+ years coaching my collegiate team, winning 3 national titles so far, while also coaching individual players ranging from Bronze to GM — including a couple of Contenders and CAH players as well.

I coach all roles and all ranks, and I try to keep sessions constructive and relaxed instead of overly harsh or ego-driven. My goal is to help players understand why things happen in-game and how to consistently improve beyond just mechanics.

If you’ve been hard stuck, feel lost during fights, or just want another set of eyes on your gameplay, feel free to DM me or check out my Fiverr. Happy to answer any questions too.
