I've been playing solo-queue for a while and have gone through several ranks. Started out at the brink of bronze and I'm in high gold, often being thrown in low plat lobbies. Now, I have another account where I play comp with my friends (I want to keep it separated from my main account because my goal is to solo-climb) and we've luckily climbed to high plat/low diamond.

And my god the toxicity there is insane. People are so quick to blame others and we haven't even lost the first point yet! I do come across toxic players in my gold/plat lobbies but it's not as frequent or at least not as intense.

I don't blame others because I know there's always something I can improve on. It's why we're all not champion ranks for a reason. However, I am quick to call someone out if they start to blame others, pointing out that they haven't played "perfectly" either. Often times they'll turn to me or throw the game (I don't mind being flamed because I know they're just being insecure but game throwers are just annoying).

So I just wanted to ask: which rank are you most likely to meet keyboard warriors? Does it work like a bell-curve, where plat-diamond lobbies are the most toxic?

I started playing Overwatch back in February and didn’t have much experience with hero shooters besides Marvel Rivals. I jumped into competitive when it became available even though I didn’t have a good understanding of the game.

Because of this, I spent a lot of time in Bronze learning the game from the ground up and figuring out what I needed to do to rank up. I feel like a lot of guides talk about what to do to rank up, but they present the data as someone who has probably never been in bronze. Bronze is essentially a different game, so trying to play “Overwatch” won’t get you very far.

Most of your games you’ll run into things like a tank who sits on the payload after winning a team fight, surrendering tons of space. In higher ranks it’s probably not a great idea to run up ahead as a DPS to hold space without your team, but in Bronze it’s almost necessary to pick up the gaps in your teammates strategy.

I made a breakdown where I reviewed a game from when I was back in Bronze and talk about the decisions I made and what “carrying” looks like in a Bronze game.

Here’s the video! I think it could be beneficial for newer players to pick up some tips from someone who was in the weeds with them not too long ago.

Wether it be a certain hero you just can't figure out, positioning issues or maybe stadium builds getting you stuck. Whatever it is I am offering to help with whatever it may be wether that's over a call, messages or in game together.

So a little about me I am a tank main (rare these days I know) but also flex pretty well into support and can play dps to an acceptable standard and have been playing since the early days of overwatch 2 on both pc and console.

I do have a full time job and that does limit the amount of time I get on but I have always wanted to try and remove the toxic core at the heart of this game and encourage new players rather than discourage them.

Highest rank achieved was gold across all three roles but I don't play that much regular comp as by the time I took the game seriously stadium was out.😁

Anyway if you want to learn some things, chat or just have a buddy to help you with stuff drop me a DM and I will get through whoever I can when I can.

6CM6Z4 1st point defense was my positioning bad there? I thought it would be a good angle + its my effective range and there is cover. But somehow I still die to a random dva. Was my angle bad there or was I just unlucky. Im just confused because I watch a lot of spilo and he always tells you take angles whenever you can but lately every time I take an angle i just seem to die.
