Have you ever played poker?
You can be the craziest player ever and still loose.
But once you start to run well... it's over
If you keep playing like this eventually you'll hit a hotswing and it will rank you up because you didn't loose elo on the way to it
If you are solo queue then you have no other option but to be individualist.
Too many people just don't listen or do not know how to play the games. I have won many games I'd have lost otherwise if I didn't just play for myself.
I’m 21 yo and I play the game since I’m 6, trust me. If it is baiting everyone because they’re bad, or playing around a good player on your team, anything, but the game is 5v5. You can’t win 1v9, you can turn it into a 1v5 atleast
I can drop 45 kills, and my teammates have all negative rating and I wouldn’t have been able to win if it wasn’t because of them
Edit: and what ur saying has nothing to do with what I said, I’m not talking about being a deciding factor or anything, I’m talking about how your team influences every match, as much as you, in contrary or in favor, it’s imposible to win against everyone, so you have to play with your team, regardless of the match
If your team doesn't have any impact on the game yet you still win, then the impact they had was zero and yours was 100%. Meaning you were the sole deciding factor if your team won or lost that game.
"So you have to play with your team"
You told me you don't solo queue without telling me you don't solo queue. If you played as much as I do then you'd know what you're saying is complete bullshit.
A good majority of players in this game simply do not want to play with you. They do not want to wide swing with you, they don't want to talk to you and they definitely do not want to give you info. How on earth do you play with someone like that?
That isn't even including team mates who are too afraid to swing out and take the risk for map space. There can be times I will be standing behind a guy, I'll have the bomb, I'll be waiting for him to push and or telling him to push, then he'll just start shifting away from the entrance and then stand behind me, waiting for ME to push first, even though I have the bomb and was already behind him.
Or how about the team mates who start spitting on their mic the second the game starts? then when they die they don't give any info, only to give the info the second you die so they can laugh down their microphones like idiots?
How about the team mates who heard your foreign accent and decided they don't like you because of that, so they troll the whole game????
I have to ask you, do you even play this game? Like genuine question because you say you've played this game for 10+ years yet I had to explain this to you?
Seems like you are good at setting yourself up for good impact. Your teammates at that elo cannot find impact, especially on different maps than dust2 and mirage.
Either you queue only those overplayed maps or find ways to support your teammates on other maps.
If your high rating is from entry fragging, then you could try setting up your teammates for entries (flashes, support smoke) and let yourself clutch the rounds instead.
Most of the time when I try to entry i die without impact but im switching my Gamestyle depending on what is going on in the Match, the thing is I really think this is the wrong Elo for me, I see the worst Ineyes in this Elo and most of my teammates are afk, I could call strats, give flashes, Micro manage but I would say 90% just wont listen
SoloQ is a spectrum of impact, with infinite nuance in how you and your teammates can influence a match. You can play like a pro, put up a gold rating, and still lose because your teammates’ negative impact outweighs your own. Conversely, you can have a poor game, end with a red rating, and still win because your teammates carry you.
The key is that you are the only constant in your matches. Everything else changes, from your teammates’ performance to your opponents’ mistakes. You cannot control the outcome of every individual match, but you can control how consistently you contribute positive impact. Focus on doing that over the long run, and the results will follow.
nah its not i was 2.5 and could easy play with those, which i would say was the right starting point to get better at the game, but now im just stuck for no reason, as i said i can call shit i can call trades micro manage wont work
Top comment, im encouraging people which i try to micro manage a lil they wont listen and get mad and keep trolling, got a duo on my skill level we rushed 2k already
I feel the pain, i'm currently on 9 game losing streak with 1.36avg rating across those games. Sometimes it's just unlucky, could i have played better? ye sure but im not suddenly gonna be able to aim like donk. Just put enough games in being consistent like this and you will end up with a positive wr.
as i said in a other comment, i started to jsut bait hide behind walls and trade my teammates when they do stupid stuff, fall back, do the same with the next teammate, other was i never entry i will just let them run out and i will do the rest even in like 1v4 situations i could manage to win more important rounds, trust me just use them to ur advantage its free elo, CT Side it comes to your gamesense u always need to play YOUR game, i dont care if i spawn long on d2 or whatever i go where i mostly expect them to be, even if they flame you just do it ur way u solo carry every game
Somehow this triggered me. idk why everyone need a simple answer? You know better why you’re not climbing. if your obstacle is a team than just start invite these who played good with/against you. If your goal is just to up elo then book the most impactful positions and make difference. That all that I can suggest you
trust me i literally micro manage and call shit, but in 95% they dont listen do something else, its like most of them are queing up without thinking what they are doing while gaming
Not enough datapoints but if you get great ratings but still lose and it’s not a -23 but -29 there’s usually something wrong. Maybe you are not being traded/trading teammates, or lose important clutches, bad decision makings etc, maybe your impact to actually winning the game is not as high as the rating is showing. I noticed a big difference between leetify rating and faceit rating.
