Hello. I'm a gold JQ, DVA and Domina main and i feel kind of confused about the advantages of high ground. I get that you have better angles and easier cover but there are 2 things i don't really get:

- For tanks without shields and good long range attacks (basically, brawl/dive tanks like JQ and DVA), how are you supposed to help your team if you're on high ground? You can't do anything to protect them and you can't really damage the enemies either. Unless the enemy is flanking and trying to contest highground you are just an ult battery.

- What stops the enemy from just walking to the objective? Every time i try to hold high ground (and every time an enemy holds highground against me) the attacker just walks past the defender straight to the objective, and then everyone drops down for a forced brawl anyways and we lose out on the opportunity to hold a choke/corner instead.

I have more success and win way more when i just low ground hold a choke/corner.

Is this just because gold DPS aim isn't good enough to take advantage of high ground or am i misunderstanding something?

console, 6v6, diamond 3, mostly tank/supp

so 6v6 is kinda known for having wild ranges at times, I'm sat at mid diamond so i get games anywhere from gold to master, sometimes silver/gm.

I'm just wondering, is there a reason the games where I'm the only diamond in a gold lobby feel much more difficult to play than the ones where its diamond-masters (even when theres no masters on my team)? I keep hearing if you belong in x rank you should be able to carry through all the ranks below it, and I've definitely seen that in 5v5 but this doesn't sound right for 6v6.

I feel like the exact same plays fall flat in lower lobbies, whereas in the higher lobbies I get follow up from my dps and supports and the plays I make actually mean something.

I became diamond maybe 2-3 seasons ago and believe I have definitely improved, I'm maintaining my rank and easily getting back up there after a bad loss streak, I am consistently ranking up my role queue ranks on the off chance I play them. however, I feel like such an imposter when I get a low gold-my rank game and completely flop when theoretically I *should* be carrying. I top frag on the leaderboard but feel like I'm making 0 impact. is there any data to back this up or am I genuinely just getting carried every game
