Help a gold rank do better

I was a gold & got to plat last season . The best 3 things I would say to anyone is

  1. Stop caring about other’s game (i.e your team mates/ opponent). You have control over your game so focus only on that . Some prompts like group up, heal me or communication like I have ult so let’s go like that is totally fine . But what I am meaning here is , if you think someone on your team is not playing well tell once or twice ask them to do better but stop worrying about it and fixating on it / blaming them . Yea they may be bad but what can we do abt that ? Will our worrying/telling them change that ? So fully focus on how you can improve your play. Same when an opponent is owning you . Believe me this focus helped me a lot . At the end of the day even if we will loose in a match, why waste that match time instead of improving ourselves, trying new strats or tricks .

  2. This has already been said enough but seriously know & practice one hero in each class ( even defense class is not needed) . If there is no healer or tank don’t wait someone else to pick one / change . We want to win the match so we have to sacrifice . So knowing how to play a healer and picking is lot better than just picking for sake of team .

  3. Overwatch is not only about aim . It’s heavily dependent on positioning, skill usage . Every skill low or high cooldowns matters . So whenever before doing anything think if it’s needed at that point , think how it will affect you and also your team mates . Example you are roadhog , you hook enemy reaper but he may have ulti , so when you hook him think if you are pulling him into your team else you may be giving him a easy way to come in and put ulti.

Hope this helps . Last but not least , we can only do so much and overwatch is a team game , so losing or winning depends on the team .
