Do you guys feel stuck at your current rank? What did you do to change that? Let me know in the comments! This video is dedicated to answering the question of “what to do if I’m hardstuck?” I get asked so much I had to put my thoughts into a video, and as you’ll learn it’s all about switching things up. Leave a like, comment, and subscribe for more!
Yeah I played Reyna (instalock) and went from silver 2 to my old high of gold 3 in 2 days. Then I get about 4 or 5 games of instalocked Reynas and pheonixes and de ranked to silver 3 (top fragged I think all but one game as sage for the team). There is too much at play
hey bro i need ur advice i started playing valorant in act2 in begning i reached bronze then i started loosing matches and reached iron1 and still lost lot of matches now in this act i won a lot of matches but still i cant rank up idk why what should i do to improve my rank
When I play with randoms I ALWYAS get de ranked, the probability of you finding good teammates is very low. So why risk it? I would solo queue if I'm plat or diamond. But solo queuing from Iron to gold is pretty frustrating. I always play with friends who are around the same rank as me then rank up together. I managed to rank up from silver 3 to plat 1 in 1 day.
I've been hardstuck g2-3 since pretty much Ep 1 act 3. I've improved exponentially in aim, game sense, and strategy since i hit G3 for the first time in Ep 1 Act 3. I play 10 man's all the time with friends ranging plat 1 to diamond 1, and i play as good or better as many of them. I'm top fragging nearly all my games lately in g2, but smurfs, bad teamates, and afk's are so fucking common that i'm about to give up and stop playing comp...
Of course you will man, as long as you put the time and dedication into learning more, I went from hardstuck iron 1 in the beta (never played csgo) to gold 1 rn aiming for plat 1!
In this rank it often are fundamentals that u can and should improve, go for good aimpractises, train movement and positioning, maybe learn more about the maps and stuff like that. Because when u are a plat player u wont get to iron no matter what ( just my oppinion and experience of course) Good luck dude 👌😊
2 weeks ago I was "hardstuck" on Silver 1, started having an aiming routine and playing with a 5stack and I got Gold 1 in 2/3 days pretty quickly (1-2 games x day),i stopped complaining about my mistakes and I start taking them as a lesson
Perfect mindset! Sounds like you are the example of a player not being held back by agent choice limiting what they can do but rather someone who can work on the fundamentals to continue to grow! Congrats!
5 stacks are underrated. The value they bring with team coordination is just so useful. I've currently hit a bit of a plateau in my gameplay, but I think I can push myself further reviewing my VoD's to see what I'm doing wrong. Too bad my laptop can't handle recording and a voice call at the same time
@@Lambsauce57 I was playing in soloq (queuing bronzes who had no mic/ people that tells me to stfu when I try to help them), NO aim routine, when I started having an aim routine I got better at the game.
Sparks whats ur aim routine? im using aim lab and what not but cant seem to getpast plat3. Games been demoting me forever and i dont know what to do. I have won 5 in a row and not rank up and have lost 6 in a row without demotig to plat2 , i feel like the more i play the worser i become. In act 1 , i went diamond3 and can go immortal but now im struggling to get to diamond and also my kills got lesser
When changing your agent and playstyle you will probably derank on the first few games because you simply don't know how to play like that, but you will learn ALOT more. Even returning to your previous main agent/role will feel better because now you understand better other agents and how to play with them in your team, you can also predict better what the enemy team agent might do in some situations. Great vid!
@@d0ntbescurred244 okok, i wrote my comment wrong lol. yeah, if i’m losing games, i’m obviously the problem, but i wasn’t trying to place the blame on my teammates. :) it’s never ever their fault for MY rank. but i must say, i do lose a lot of games but get team mvp or match mvp. i think the ranking system should be ranked INDIVIDUALLY.
I started act 1 with no prior csgo knowledge, I ended up placing bronze 2 and was disappointed bc all my friends were gold and plat. By the end of act 1 I placed plat 2. I found going through each problem slowly rather than focusing on 8 different problems at once was affective. I tackled each of my problems at my once and still have correction in crosshair placement and game sense. Also please note I didn’t get carried bc I ended up outranking my friends lmao. Also econ management is often overlooked, in low elo and even plat some people don’t understand the concept of saving rounds
Facts yeah, been hardstuck plat for 2 seasons now and I can say that, communication, econ management, positioning, rotations are the main problems that I and other plat player faces. Sometimes people are just so toxic that your gonna have to mute them, but then that causes less communication which = less crucial information. My aim is medicor, but I cant reliably flick to win duels so ill probably need to work on that.
Bobby Wu true, half the time people ain’t got mics tbh. I have my mechanics but I get way too aggressive sometimes if you’re having a hard time ranking up switch your agent. Moved from sage to phoenix, and found my true calling card. I love entrying and pushing up aggressively that I couldn’t do with sage. Was hardstuck p1 this act, currently am plat 3 with Phoenix.
I wanna thabk you, I was a really aggressive sage and this update forced me to use another character and I thought about this video, I finally got to plat and I was hard stuck for two acts so thank you
For me, it was more like playing for the team that got me hard stuck. You have to pick your agent, don't pick people you don't play so that your teammate can go 3 duelists. You need to pick someone you play so that you can play your best.
I relate when you said to try and use duelist, I've always use support roles like control, sentinel, and initiator in ranked games but always a duelist in unrated and top frag on my unrated games.
I'm hard stuck Silver 3, whenever I get to Gold 1, I just have the worst luck I feel. I work on my aim and fundamentals everyday as well. I usually have to play Sage or Cypher(cypher is one of my favorites to play at least) because everyone picks duelists. I realized that when I do play someone like Raze, I can top frag. I'm currently unlocking Omen because I fell like he is a good mix of support and aggressive and will be a good character for me to play and rank up.
Yes, Omen is great! You get the ability to support with smokes but also the ability to make plays with his blind and teleports! He’s such a great hybrid for people who want to do a bit of everything!
Just please use your blind, as an omen player it really bothers me when players pick omen (which is ok) but they don't use their blind, so please use the blind.
@@daviserhart7497 I try to use my utility as much as possible in the right situations. What sucks at my rank is that I feel a lot of people have decent aim but not a good enough knowledge or sense for the game to work as a team and they just go for kills. It hurts the team and leads to losses. Which I think is the most frustrating part of the game for me. That and people don't make callouts or even use their mic.
Im a sage main, i top frag every time and i feel like my team is not doing their job, i support but they don't use it, then i push myself as a sage and win most of the duels so i lm thinking about switching to a duelist so i can use my skill as much as possible
@@chefnonamejackson21 yeah I am silver 3 as well, I feel you brother, honestly dude you just gotta get like a 3 stack, because I have done 5 stacks and we will roll every game and win 7 in a row and no rank up. I have found that if you're truly deserving of a higher rank (at our rank anyways) you need 2 other players, and then you can actually roll so easily. I went from silver 1- 3 in a day, bc of the 3 stack thing, so I would 5 stack in plat, but anything else it's just not worth it for me. (my goal for the act is gold 1 dude, I played with some plats, and I can do nearly as well as some of them and better than others, and this is including our roles, I am not dumb lols, needless to say I feel like I need to work on some fundamentals still b4 I can get to plat.)
Since i dont have my own pc, im pretty inconsistent but managed to climb to Diamond 1. It was because of my teamleading skills im 90% sure and a little of my aim(and these videos). Decision making is harder to master than aim, and i still have a long way to go. Thank you for this videos, you deserve much more
I like your videos, they’re pretty well explained and they feel fluid at the same time. You also give very good tips. I ranked up from iron to gold thanks to your vids so thanks a lot! Keep up the great work dude
I swear RUclips algorithm is scary, I'm currently back and forth on Bronze 1 2 3 and this video just popped first in my recommendation lmao edit : great vid tho
Hey! Love from India! I just wanted to share my experience with games like valorant. I started playing csgo for the first time during march 2020 and i didnt know the fundamentals of such high precision games! When i started playing valorant i was pretty noob because i was not familiar with abilities and so my starting rank was silver 3 and for about 2 months i was still about there only. Then i saw your channel and your videos inspired me to do well in the game. Till about last month i was silver 3 and now with your help i am a plat 1! I just wanna thank you! (P.s. - i know i can improve more just if there were servers in my country😂😂 i play on 100 ping(sad lyf)) Aside from that, once again thank you Kyle!
HOLY SHIT Dragonmar thank you dude I went from iron 1 to Gold 2 in less then a month thank you so much dude I love and appreaciate your videos, keep up the good work, and thank you so much dude, u do not know how happy I am and couldn't do it without you.
I've tried this with plat. Last 2 seasons I've floated from plat 1 to plat 3, used to be a cypher main but switched to Phoenix. I instantly noticed that I would play better with me dropping 25 kills in the vast majority of games. Despite this increase in my personal performances I started to lose more and more games with me dropping down to gold a few times. I then switched back to cypher which led to me winning more games (50% ish) and eventually climbed back to plat and then got stuck once again. I feel as if when I play fraggers I carry the team but my support players dont keep up, and when I play cypher I nearly equal frags to the fraggers on my team. I am making some progress this season as I have found a good 4 stack to play with but progress is still really slow. Hopefully i can get diamond soon.
i was hardstuck gold3/plat1 for like 3 months and 2 days ago i changed my main agent from jett to phoenix and i started carrying hard like 25/5 k/d these advices works thank's for help
Something that helped me was my approach to death match. I would go in there like a lot of people and try to work on my aim/crosshairs placement etc, but it didn’t really help. You got to really pay attention to how you shoot. My first shot accuracy was off due to a slight movement error that I didn’t have when I started playing, but the bad habit formed by trying to play faster(watching pros). I Slowed it down & has increased my wins in duels and overall WR.
Watched this video a week ago and I thought to myself that this was dumb and just figured I was stuck because of bad teammates. For about a month I had been in diamond 3 and played about 100ish games without a derank or a rankup. I only played sage/cypher/killjoy/brimstone, had about a 50% winrate, and was always middle of the team in terms of frags. I decided it couldn't hurt to try changing things up and started playing duelists. In a week of playing and learning agents like phoenix and raze I am actually top fragging with 25-35 kills in immortal elo and just hit immortal 2. Thanks for this guide it has helped so much!
This does work. I was gold 2-3 maining Sage. After a while I started to play more Raze and Reyna and I climbed to Plat. After Killjoy released I was back to support as KJ, Sage and Cypher and I just got to Diamond 1 this week.
Ur so underated man!, other people would explain this in 30-40 mins long but ur vid is not boring and short so i can easily understand. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
I know my advice may not seem like much but it helped me so much. You shouldn't be playing competitive to get a better rank. Don't focus on losing or winning and focus more on getting better at the game. Your rank should not matter in your climb.
I cannot solo Que anymore. I started at Gold 3 and moved up to Diamond 2 and then I am now hard stuck at Plat 1. I play fine but I swear my teammates are eating glue in spawn going 5 - 20 for the game. The only time I seem to gain rank is when I am in 4+ stack.
I was hard stuck in bronze 3 for an entire act, the next act I placed bronze 3 again. This time I changed my attitude, I stopped caring about rank and started focusing on improvement. Now I'm gold 2 and climbing!
I would recommend aim labs gridshot. Not because it helps significantly physically but because it gives you confidence. I’m not the best at this game by a long shot but recently I hit 98k on gridshot after 2 weeks and it boosted my confidence. It’s definitely a placebo effect but it works out.
Hey, ive been hard stuck plat 2 to 3 and I feel that my aim has become really mediocre. I'm going to be getting a new mouse soon, so should I experiment with different sensitivities while I have this opportunity?
This is five months late, but never change around your sens or dpi consistently, as a person who used to do it i would constantly be used to the old dpi and or sens and then under or over shoot, i would say stick to your current set up.
I started at Silver1 and ranked myself up to Gold3. Unfortunately I lost a lot and deranked to Bronze3 at one point. Had to seriously think of what I was doing wrong and thanks to Dragonmar I’m now Plat2. Your videos 100% helped me improve! Ps I main Brim, and occasionally play Sova/Sage
I’ve been stuck in between Gold 1 - 3 using Brim Cypher and Killjoy for the past month. I’ve made it to plat once but that was when I was queuing up with friends. But For the past month I’ve realized for my games that I win It’s usually me dependent on an Initiator or Entry Fraggers to get kills. I really feel like I’m held back from the agents I use. I constantly find myself in a position where I know what to do but don’t have the tools to do it. I want to go back to playing quick play games and practicing other agents but I just always want to play competitive win or lose.
As someone who is already fairly high ranked (Diamond3/Immortal1) I’m always skeptical of “how to rank up” videos like this. However this video was well made and well thought out. I’ve been a Sage main forever and recently I’ve definitely plateaued and now with the Sage nerfs I’m going to be branching out and trying other agents. Hopefully that will get me over the Immortal 1 hump
I played like three ranked games the other day, knowing me being mediocre currently at this game thinking it can't be that hard. It was the worst three ranked games I played in any game ever. Especially since 2 teammates left and we lost 13-0, almost made me not even wanna play Valorant.
Honestly I subscribe as soon as you said at 2:00 because I’ve been hardstuck at plat 1 plat 2 for this entire act, I haven’t had a different rank since the first day of the act XD
the problem is it’s really hard to main duelists in low elo because every game someone autolocks duelists, sova, or omen. that’s what i found. i play lots of sova because i can’t pick phoenix and i do well but i don’t feel i don’t get that much worth out of sova and i’m very bad at sentinels so i feel worthless in the team the only agents i would say i’m good at its omen and phoenix and maybe breach
My role was a duelist ( i main reyna and raze) in plat 3, if i play a duelist in those ranks i would just got destroyed because i feel i just used as a bait, i get 1-2 kill, my team is still stuck entering the site, so i smurfed a little bit in gold 3 playing cypher and viper. Im still implementing my aggresive playstyle and it works, both viper and cypher ability are good at clearing sites and clutching. i get 20+ kills every game. maybe because its in gold 2 - plat 2 range im in. Im still playing on my smurf account because i had more fun and i believe im improving every game. Thank you for this video for noticing something about hardstuck.
The reason I picked up brimstone was because back when I was bronze people didn't know how to use smokes and I used him to help our team win and climbed up to gold. This video is really going to help me because I think it I play a duelist I'll be able to climb out once again, since now people actually know how to use smokes I can help my team in other ways. I've never really thought of there agent holding me back But after this Videos insight I can't wait and see if this helps me climb or not
I used to main sage, however, i've recently played duelists. I find that my aim is above par for high plat/low diamond, hence, I can provide the team with picks. I can still play a support role, but I have to be mindful of staying in the back when executing.
Yeah good aimers can sometimes lose the value they could provide to a team by taking a backseat on attack because they play a sentinel. Also noting that even duelists can be used supportively is a great point
I've been playing reyna recently because my aim is (usually) really good for where I am. Unfortunately I'm a bit inconsistent so either I carry or I bottom frag
GhostTiger 38 that could be because of either the map, side you are playing ( attack/ defense) or the guns u are using. Figure out the guns you use the most on a save or non full buy round and go into a death match and play with them. Don’t play death match for the win, play for the knowledge. Try to predict people and try not to use the maps radar. That’s what I did at least. Also practice your aim daily.
Been stuck on Gold 1/Silver 3 for the whole act. I main Reyna and have been match MVP so many times but because I lose my games I still derank. I now switched to Cypher and seem to be winning more games... but my combat score suffers. Let's see how the switch goes!
I'm a cypher main, have been a cypher main since beta days. Each season I peaked diamond 1, but struggled to keep up and have a meaningful impact on rounds in diamond elo, which wasn't an issue when I played in plat. I went on tracker.gg, saw that while my k/d was decent on cypher, my win rate was only 48 percent, while I had an overall win rate percentage of 57 percent. I was very surprised, but it was then that I found out that my omen win rate was 90 percent, and my phoenix win rate was 100 percent (10 and 6 total played matches respectively). For anyone hardstuck, a good luck at stats can open your perspective on what you can change (in this case, agent pool). This video is the encouragement, in fact the realization, I need to switch to omen/phoenix for my tendency to aggressively contest areas of the map. Hopefully with that change I can hit immortal!
You are super rigth about what to change to rank up, I usually play sentinels (sage,cyfher, killjoy). but at some point on gold 3/platinum 1 I felt that i can´t win games been a sentinel cause my team does´nt even clean angles while we were pushing.
Thank you for the advice dragonmar! Although I agreed with your advice, I wouldn't use the word "change", I would prefer the word "expand". Expand your playstyle, your agent pool, your default setups in every map, anything. I was an Omen main , and Omen enabled me to play aggressively which helped me climb all the way from plat 1 to diamond 1 until I peaked there and deranked back to plat 2 in less than 2 weeks. Reason? I was way too aggressive with Omen, I got countered easily in those ranks and made stupid decisions that are dangerous in solo queuing. Solution? I expanded my agent pool to a more defensive one, which is for me, Killjoy. So now I got two mains that I can pick depending on how confident I am on making plays or playing defensive for the team, and now I am diamond 2 in less than a month now from plat 2.
What you said about Brimstone not being able to bring your potential out kind of hit me personally, I've been maining sage in ranked and I've gotten pretty good with her but my bread and butter was always entry fragging and being very aggressive, with sage I usually end up following my team from the back and it feels really uncomfortable. I'm thinking of unlocking omen, I usually play reyna instead of sage but not everyone picks controllers and I really need smokes in my games. I'm gold 2 right now, hopefully I can get plat, I play from the middle east so my ping is high but I mean hey, no one gets anywhere by complaining about what they don't have
I am hard stuck Iron 3/Bronze 1. I have been stuck at this rank since early November 2020. My aim as significantly gotten better than what it was back then. I have used countless agents and have at least learned an agent for 2 weeks. I have also tried getting help from higher ranked friends who are bronze and silver. I have done multiple types of gameplay and certain strategies, but I see no improvement in rank.
I have been at Gold 2-3 for all of act 1 and continue to be so in act 2. Have only hit plat once and them immediately dropped. I hope I can put this video to good use.
i was pretty stuck in like gold 2 gold 3 area playing sage and i decided to switch off of sage with the nerf and play phoenix and in the first few games i ascended to plat
I’ve been plat1/2 the entire act but this last week I’ve noticed a sudden jump in my abilities and constantly dropping high kill games and winning. But since it takes so many games to rank up for me atp I am still stuck. I won 14 games and only lost 3 over the course of 2 days and still am in plat 2(was in plat 1 at the start of that streak).
I'm hardstuck in plat 2 since act 1 y play mainly sage, i knew i needed to change something and this vídeo was the push i needed. I think i'm gonna pass on the entry fragers but i'm gonna give brim a chance, i always get good results playing arround other ppls smokes, time yo use my own.
I keep going from silver to bronze and it’s annoying because I know that I can play better than most silvers it’s just that my teammates are new to the game and don’t take it as seriously.
Haven't finished watching the video yet but I'm hardstuck plat and was plat 3 for a good 40 games but just got demoted to plat 2 recently hopefully this video helps me
Been bouncing between Plat 1-3 since b e t a. I'm basically the definition of hardstuck. My biggest problem at this point is that I just don't bang out enough games. I'm not getting any better playing one a day if even that.
I literally am hardstuck D3, I q with immortal 3s and Didn’t tank up after being on a 10 win streak top fragging, i am a brim main and been stuck d3 for weeks now
i usually play more supportive roles like sage and sova cause with the mates i play with they always play duelist and i fill in where i can, but i think im going to start playing a duelist or a more aggresive hero hopefully i can finally make it out of plat 2!
Hey dragonmar! I am having so much trouble getting out of D2/3 for the longest into immortal. Could you make another video for high elo vod review by any chance. Would help a lot for me and a bunch of high elo players
I'm hardstuck in G3 for like a month , i play sage but tbh i spend must of the time so upset with my team bc they don't want to commit to a point, they have a lot of fear to die o shits like that, so i started to play phoenix and raze, i'm doing ok, winning with a better KDA and that stuff, so i really hope in a while I will climb to plat :) also I make youtube vídeos and one guy in my comments said that I have a really good aim and gamesense so I really hope that's true hahaha, good vídeo my friend
I play omen and I am a bit aggro but I am definitely hardstuck Before I rank up I atleast want to master skye, breach pheonix or Jett I am fine with being stuck in iron 1 but in that time I want to improve the other things like mechanical skills ability usage map control and gamesense Another thing I have noticed I get spooked easily by players resulting in me choking I wrote this comment as a way to motivate others to not get triggered over getting hardstuck and improve for your future rank as one day you will reach it
when comp first came out i was bronze 1, and i ended the beta at gold 1. at launch i got raked gold 3 and at this moment i'm only Plat 2, i think my problem is honestly that i play like one game a day if that lol.
The more I try to get better the lower my rank goes. Was diamond, played casually. Want to go pro so ive been practicing like 8 hours a day or more. Drops to gold.
I have tried playing every agent in the book but im still hardstuck gold. I hit plat and silver in the same week sometimes. But i cant leave the gold area. I have tried changing sens, keeping the same sens for ever, i have a 2 hour long aim training routine i do before bed, and i believe i play pretty smart. Everytime i die i feel like there is nothing i can do that would possibly make me win the gun fight. I have tried vod reviewing and looking back but i just get running one tapped and util dumped. It feels like the only way to not die there is to not fight them. If you guys know anything that has helped you rank up please let me know, this aspect of the game is just ruining it for me. I am not a toxic person by any means but lately i cant help but get mad. I spectate my teamates and it feels like im playing with irons against immortals. What do i do.
Personally not hardstuck, still ranking up but id love to play more dualist or flashbang characters, only issue is that there are so many instalockers still in plat-diamond that im kind of forced to play a controller :/
I'm stuck at Plat 2, been trying to get to diamond this season. I've won 9 matches in a row at plat 2 and no rank up, lost 1 match and then got demoted...
i've never hit a plateau, i started at the plateau and stayed on it for the past 3 acts. I top frag almost every comp game i play with my main, and i consistently win, until im almost ranking up, then i hit smurfs or really bad teammates (im iron 3). This probably sounds really egotistical, but ive basically given up on comp cuz its just so dumb, and theres no point in even playing I can play initiator, controller, and duelist all pretty well, the same thing happens every time with every new agent i try
If you're hardstuck below gold i would say this to you. Players in those ranks are really bad just get some good crosshair placement and positioning and you can totally carry and climb.
Hey dragonmar I’m hard stuck d1 d2 and really play sage but I don’t frag but when I play someone like Phoenix I get a kill all most every round. The problem is that most of my team hates playing sage or cypher and I’m stuck play them what should I do?
Do not ever feel forced to play Sage! She had like a 35% play rate in the recent tourney. Try to focus on what you are good at, I suggest trying Brim and Omen for you. Use your smokes in place of Sage wall and then try out the rest of their kit. Should feel familiar but opportunistic
How can I stay more consistent in my games? Some days or even weeks I am doing extremely well (like I’m in the “zone”) and for maybe a week or two, I am consistently bottom fragging HARD
Do you guys feel stuck at your current rank? What did you do to change that? Let me know in the comments! This video is dedicated to answering the question of “what to do if I’m hardstuck?” I get asked so much I had to put my thoughts into a video, and as you’ll learn it’s all about switching things up. Leave a like, comment, and subscribe for more!
Yeah I played Reyna (instalock) and went from silver 2 to my old high of gold 3 in 2 days. Then I get about 4 or 5 games of instalocked Reynas and pheonixes and de ranked to silver 3 (top fragged I think all but one game as sage for the team). There is too much at play
Emiliano Peraza (Student) btw stop instalocking. It will ruin ur team and u by being not flexible with other agents if they take ur agents
hey bro i need ur advice i started playing valorant in act2 in begning i reached bronze then i started loosing matches and reached iron1 and still lost lot of matches now in this act i won a lot of matches but still i cant rank up idk why what should i do to improve my rank
When I play with randoms I ALWYAS get de ranked, the probability of you finding good teammates is very low. So why risk it?
I would solo queue if I'm plat or diamond.
But solo queuing from Iron to gold is pretty frustrating.
I always play with friends who are around the same rank as me then rank up together. I managed to rank up from silver 3 to plat 1 in 1 day.
I've been hardstuck g2-3 since pretty much Ep 1 act 3. I've improved exponentially in aim, game sense, and strategy since i hit G3 for the first time in Ep 1 Act 3. I play 10 man's all the time with friends ranging plat 1 to diamond 1, and i play as good or better as many of them. I'm top fragging nearly all my games lately in g2, but smurfs, bad teamates, and afk's are so fucking common that i'm about to give up and stop playing comp...
Thanks! I deranked from silver 3 to iron 3 this act, I hope I can get to plat this act, I’m sure I will after watching this video
Don’t give up and keep learning!
Of course you will man, as long as you put the time and dedication into learning more, I went from hardstuck iron 1 in the beta (never played csgo) to gold 1 rn aiming for plat 1!
In this rank it often are fundamentals that u can and should improve, go for good aimpractises, train movement and positioning, maybe learn more about the maps and stuff like that.
Because when u are a plat player u wont get to iron no matter what ( just my oppinion and experience of course)
Good luck dude 👌😊
And yes of course u can do it, i went from Silver to plat in 2 weeks just practising fundamentals :)
@Sickovad i also was iron 1 in the beta, but I've been on a crazy derank streak, and I'm not sure how to get out of it
2 weeks ago I was "hardstuck" on Silver 1, started having an aiming routine and playing with a 5stack and I got Gold 1 in 2/3 days pretty quickly (1-2 games x day),i stopped complaining about my mistakes and I start taking them as a lesson
Perfect mindset! Sounds like you are the example of a player not being held back by agent choice limiting what they can do but rather someone who can work on the fundamentals to continue to grow! Congrats!
5 stacks are underrated. The value they bring with team coordination is just so useful.
I've currently hit a bit of a plateau in my gameplay, but I think I can push myself further reviewing my VoD's to see what I'm doing wrong. Too bad my laptop can't handle recording and a voice call at the same time
I don’t think u improved a whole rank In a week I think it’s cause u played with a stavk
@@Lambsauce57 I was playing in soloq (queuing bronzes who had no mic/ people that tells me to stfu when I try to help them), NO aim routine, when I started having an aim routine I got better at the game.
Sparks whats ur aim routine? im using aim lab and what not but cant seem to getpast plat3. Games been demoting me forever and i dont know what to do. I have won 5 in a row and not rank up and have lost 6 in a row without demotig to plat2 , i feel like the more i play the worser i become. In act 1 , i went diamond3 and can go immortal but now im struggling to get to diamond and also my kills got lesser
The hero we need but don't deserve...
Thanks again for the quality content Dragonmar 👌
My ego grows
The ultimate flex is to say that your hardstuck in radiant.
@@fforsu good
@@gil_11 oof
im hardstuck in immortal 3
@@mkdesu quite unfortunate
Gilsomnia wanna carry me? ;-;
When changing your agent and playstyle you will probably derank on the first few games because you simply don't know how to play like that, but you will learn ALOT more. Even returning to your previous main agent/role will feel better because now you understand better other agents and how to play with them in your team, you can also predict better what the enemy team agent might do in some situations. Great vid!
Can't derank out of iron 1
"some people are hard stuck at gold 3 "
me: iron 1
how are u guys iron 1 😂
same
@@Lilpizza27 my friends ditched me so now i’m solo queue and i lose a lot of games even thought i’m usually match mvp. smh.
Meyuh Angelina don't blame it on teammates bruh you're iron one, you have to be part of that problem
@@d0ntbescurred244 okok, i wrote my comment wrong lol. yeah, if i’m losing games, i’m obviously the problem, but i wasn’t trying to place the blame on my teammates. :) it’s never ever their fault for MY rank.
but i must say, i do lose a lot of games but get team mvp or match mvp. i think the ranking system should be ranked INDIVIDUALLY.
I started act 1 with no prior csgo knowledge, I ended up placing bronze 2 and was disappointed bc all my friends were gold and plat. By the end of act 1 I placed plat 2. I found going through each problem slowly rather than focusing on 8 different problems at once was affective. I tackled each of my problems at my once and still have correction in crosshair placement and game sense. Also please note I didn’t get carried bc I ended up outranking my friends lmao. Also econ management is often overlooked, in low elo and even plat some people don’t understand the concept of saving rounds
Facts yeah, been hardstuck plat for 2 seasons now and I can say that, communication, econ management, positioning, rotations are the main problems that I and other plat player faces. Sometimes people are just so toxic that your gonna have to mute them, but then that causes less communication which = less crucial information. My aim is medicor, but I cant reliably flick to win duels so ill probably need to work on that.
Bobby Wu true, half the time people ain’t got mics tbh. I have my mechanics but I get way too aggressive sometimes if you’re having a hard time ranking up switch your agent. Moved from sage to phoenix, and found my true calling card. I love entrying and pushing up aggressively that I couldn’t do with sage. Was hardstuck p1 this act, currently am plat 3 with Phoenix.
I wanna thabk you, I was a really aggressive sage and this update forced me to use another character and I thought about this video, I finally got to plat and I was hard stuck for two acts so thank you
i was a cypher main from gold 2 until plat 2, but trying out raze after being stuck in plat 2 this entire act.
That’s exactly the type of switch I’m talking about, let me know how it goes!
For me, it was more like playing for the team that got me hard stuck. You have to pick your agent, don't pick people you don't play so that your teammate can go 3 duelists. You need to pick someone you play so that you can play your best.
I relate when you said to try and use duelist, I've always use support roles like control, sentinel, and initiator in ranked games but always a duelist in unrated and top frag on my unrated games.
I'm hard stuck Silver 3, whenever I get to Gold 1, I just have the worst luck I feel. I work on my aim and fundamentals everyday as well. I usually have to play Sage or Cypher(cypher is one of my favorites to play at least) because everyone picks duelists. I realized that when I do play someone like Raze, I can top frag. I'm currently unlocking Omen because I fell like he is a good mix of support and aggressive and will be a good character for me to play and rank up.
Yes, Omen is great! You get the ability to support with smokes but also the ability to make plays with his blind and teleports! He’s such a great hybrid for people who want to do a bit of everything!
Just please use your blind, as an omen player it really bothers me when players pick omen (which is ok) but they don't use their blind, so please use the blind.
@@daviserhart7497 I try to use my utility as much as possible in the right situations. What sucks at my rank is that I feel a lot of people have decent aim but not a good enough knowledge or sense for the game to work as a team and they just go for kills. It hurts the team and leads to losses. Which I think is the most frustrating part of the game for me. That and people don't make callouts or even use their mic.
Im a sage main, i top frag every time and i feel like my team is not doing their job, i support but they don't use it, then i push myself as a sage and win most of the duels so i lm thinking about switching to a duelist so i can use my skill as much as possible
@@chefnonamejackson21 yeah I am silver 3 as well, I feel you brother, honestly dude you just gotta get like a 3 stack, because I have done 5 stacks and we will roll every game and win 7 in a row and no rank up. I have found that if you're truly deserving of a higher rank (at our rank anyways) you need 2 other players, and then you can actually roll so easily. I went from silver 1- 3 in a day, bc of the 3 stack thing, so I would 5 stack in plat, but anything else it's just not worth it for me. (my goal for the act is gold 1 dude, I played with some plats, and I can do nearly as well as some of them and better than others, and this is including our roles, I am not dumb lols, needless to say I feel like I need to work on some fundamentals still b4 I can get to plat.)
Since i dont have my own pc, im pretty inconsistent but managed to climb to Diamond 1. It was because of my teamleading skills im 90% sure and a little of my aim(and these videos). Decision making is harder to master than aim, and i still have a long way to go. Thank you for this videos, you deserve much more
Thank you and D1 is no small feat!
I like your videos, they’re pretty well explained and they feel fluid at the same time. You also give very good tips. I ranked up from iron to gold thanks to your vids so thanks a lot! Keep up the great work dude
Hey that means a lot thank you!
Great vid :) It's always important to reinforce the fundamental ideas of improvement.
Big fan man
I swear RUclips algorithm is scary, I'm currently back and forth on Bronze 1 2 3 and this video just popped first in my recommendation lmao
edit : great vid tho
Hey! Love from India! I just wanted to share my experience with games like valorant. I started playing csgo for the first time during march 2020 and i didnt know the fundamentals of such high precision games! When i started playing valorant i was pretty noob because i was not familiar with abilities and so my starting rank was silver 3 and for about 2 months i was still about there only. Then i saw your channel and your videos inspired me to do well in the game. Till about last month i was silver 3 and now with your help i am a plat 1! I just wanna thank you!
(P.s. - i know i can improve more just if there were servers in my country😂😂 i play on 100 ping(sad lyf))
Aside from that, once again thank you Kyle!
@@ed-nd3lw thanks man! And yeah i know but it will be done by the end of the year!😂😭
HOLY SHIT Dragonmar thank you dude I went from iron 1 to Gold 2 in less then a month thank you so much dude I love and appreaciate your videos, keep up the good work, and thank you so much dude, u do not know how happy I am and couldn't do it without you.
Proud of you!
Seems fake 🤔
Feels bad being diamond 1 last season. Played the new ranked system this new season and got gold 1🥴💪 the climb begins haha, thanks for the good video🙏
I've tried this with plat. Last 2 seasons I've floated from plat 1 to plat 3, used to be a cypher main but switched to Phoenix. I instantly noticed that I would play better with me dropping 25 kills in the vast majority of games. Despite this increase in my personal performances I started to lose more and more games with me dropping down to gold a few times. I then switched back to cypher which led to me winning more games (50% ish) and eventually climbed back to plat and then got stuck once again. I feel as if when I play fraggers I carry the team but my support players dont keep up, and when I play cypher I nearly equal frags to the fraggers on my team. I am making some progress this season as I have found a good 4 stack to play with but progress is still really slow. Hopefully i can get diamond soon.
i was hardstuck gold3/plat1 for like 3 months and 2 days ago i changed my main agent from jett to phoenix and i started carrying hard like 25/5 k/d these advices works thank's for help
Something that helped me was my approach to death match. I would go in there like a lot of people and try to work on my aim/crosshairs placement etc, but it didn’t really help. You got to really pay attention to how you shoot. My first shot accuracy was off due to a slight movement error that I didn’t have when I started playing, but the bad habit formed by trying to play faster(watching pros). I Slowed it down & has increased my wins in duels and overall WR.
It took me 3 months to get out of gold 3, but then I really started to work at the game and now I'm diamond 1 (:
Watched this video a week ago and I thought to myself that this was dumb and just figured I was stuck because of bad teammates. For about a month I had been in diamond 3 and played about 100ish games without a derank or a rankup. I only played sage/cypher/killjoy/brimstone, had about a 50% winrate, and was always middle of the team in terms of frags. I decided it couldn't hurt to try changing things up and started playing duelists. In a week of playing and learning agents like phoenix and raze I am actually top fragging with 25-35 kills in immortal elo and just hit immortal 2. Thanks for this guide it has helped so much!
I solo queue and have been stuck on the verge of silver for a while now. This advice is helping ty so much.
Turning off firing error and movement error on my crosshair helped me so much
This does work. I was gold 2-3 maining Sage. After a while I started to play more Raze and Reyna and I climbed to Plat. After Killjoy released I was back to support as KJ, Sage and Cypher and I just got to Diamond 1 this week.
Ur so underated man!, other people would explain this in 30-40 mins long but ur vid is not boring and short so i can easily understand. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
I know my advice may not seem like much but it helped me so much. You shouldn't be playing competitive to get a better rank. Don't focus on losing or winning and focus more on getting better at the game. Your rank should not matter in your climb.
I agree. Focus on improving is often the best way to actually climb and has helped me a lot
I cannot solo Que anymore. I started at Gold 3 and moved up to Diamond 2 and then I am now hard stuck at Plat 1. I play fine but I swear my teammates are eating glue in spawn going 5 - 20 for the game. The only time I seem to gain rank is when I am in 4+ stack.
thanks for vid. I went from iron to Radiant within 3 hours
But for real, thx for the vids. Its helping me rank up. Keep it up!
I was hard stuck in bronze 3 for an entire act, the next act I placed bronze 3 again. This time I changed my attitude, I stopped caring about rank and started focusing on improvement. Now I'm gold 2 and climbing!
I would recommend aim labs gridshot. Not because it helps significantly physically but because it gives you confidence. I’m not the best at this game by a long shot but recently I hit 98k on gridshot after 2 weeks and it boosted my confidence. It’s definitely a placebo effect but it works out.
Hey, ive been hard stuck plat 2 to 3 and I feel that my aim has become really mediocre. I'm going to be getting a new mouse soon, so should I experiment with different sensitivities while I have this opportunity?
This is five months late, but never change around your sens or dpi consistently, as a person who used to do it i would constantly be used to the old dpi and or sens and then under or over shoot, i would say stick to your current set up.
I started at Silver1 and ranked myself up to Gold3. Unfortunately I lost a lot and deranked to Bronze3 at one point. Had to seriously think of what I was doing wrong and thanks to Dragonmar I’m now Plat2. Your videos 100% helped me improve!
Ps I main Brim, and occasionally play Sova/Sage
I’ve been stuck in between Gold 1 - 3 using Brim Cypher and Killjoy for the past month. I’ve made it to plat once but that was when I was queuing up with friends. But For the past month I’ve realized for my games that I win It’s usually me dependent on an Initiator or Entry Fraggers to get kills. I really feel like I’m held back from the agents I use. I constantly find myself in a position where I know what to do but don’t have the tools to do it. I want to go back to playing quick play games and practicing other agents but I just always want to play competitive win or lose.
As someone who is already fairly high ranked (Diamond3/Immortal1) I’m always skeptical of “how to rank up” videos like this. However this video was well made and well thought out. I’ve been a Sage main forever and recently I’ve definitely plateaued and now with the Sage nerfs I’m going to be branching out and trying other agents. Hopefully that will get me over the Immortal 1 hump
I'm personally not exactly hardstuck, just on a very slow climb, but I'm going to try some of these tips
Yes, good luck!
I played like three ranked games the other day, knowing me being mediocre currently at this game thinking it can't be that hard. It was the worst three ranked games I played in any game ever. Especially since 2 teammates left and we lost 13-0, almost made me not even wanna play Valorant.
Honestly I subscribe as soon as you said at 2:00 because I’ve been hardstuck at plat 1 plat 2 for this entire act, I haven’t had a different rank since the first day of the act XD
As I went to subscribe I just realized I was already subbed XD
Have to agree with this ever since I switched to brimstone from phoenix I climbed from plat 1 -> 3
Very nicely done, hopefully a certain pink rank is in the near future for you!
the problem is it’s really hard to main duelists in low elo because every game someone autolocks duelists, sova, or omen. that’s what i found. i play lots of sova because i can’t pick phoenix and i do well but i don’t feel i don’t get that much worth out of sova and i’m very bad at sentinels so i feel worthless in the team the only agents i would say i’m good at its omen and phoenix and maybe breach
My role was a duelist ( i main reyna and raze) in plat 3, if i play a duelist in those ranks i would just got destroyed because i feel i just used as a bait, i get 1-2 kill, my team is still stuck entering the site, so i smurfed a little bit in gold 3 playing cypher and viper. Im still implementing my aggresive playstyle and it works, both viper and cypher ability are good at clearing sites and clutching. i get 20+ kills every game. maybe because its in gold 2 - plat 2 range im in. Im still playing on my smurf account because i had more fun and i believe im improving every game. Thank you for this video for noticing something about hardstuck.
The reason I picked up brimstone was because back when I was bronze people didn't know how to use smokes and I used him to help our team win and climbed up to gold. This video is really going to help me because I think it I play a duelist I'll be able to climb out once again, since now people actually know how to use smokes I can help my team in other ways. I've never really thought of there agent holding me back But after this Videos insight I can't wait and see if this helps me climb or not
I used to main sage, however, i've recently played duelists. I find that my aim is above par for high plat/low diamond, hence, I can provide the team with picks. I can still play a support role, but I have to be mindful of staying in the back when executing.
Yeah good aimers can sometimes lose the value they could provide to a team by taking a backseat on attack because they play a sentinel. Also noting that even duelists can be used supportively is a great point
I've been playing reyna recently because my aim is (usually) really good for where I am. Unfortunately I'm a bit inconsistent so either I carry or I bottom frag
GhostTiger 38 that could be because of either the map, side you are playing ( attack/ defense) or the guns u are using. Figure out the guns you use the most on a save or non full buy round and go into a death match and play with them. Don’t play death match for the win, play for the knowledge. Try to predict people and try not to use the maps radar. That’s what I did at least. Also practice your aim daily.
Been stuck on Gold 1/Silver 3 for the whole act. I main Reyna and have been match MVP so many times but because I lose my games I still derank. I now switched to Cypher and seem to be winning more games... but my combat score suffers. Let's see how the switch goes!
My goal from beta was to get to diamond and I was hard stuck platinum rank from beta till now ;-;
I am stuck on Iron 1 for months and even when i am winning matches most of the time even getting mvp on some i can't seem to rank up.
You're right. I was playing cypher before, now its easier for me to win games with omen
I'm a cypher main, have been a cypher main since beta days. Each season I peaked diamond 1, but struggled to keep up and have a meaningful impact on rounds in diamond elo, which wasn't an issue when I played in plat. I went on tracker.gg, saw that while my k/d was decent on cypher, my win rate was only 48 percent, while I had an overall win rate percentage of 57 percent. I was very surprised, but it was then that I found out that my omen win rate was 90 percent, and my phoenix win rate was 100 percent (10 and 6 total played matches respectively). For anyone hardstuck, a good luck at stats can open your perspective on what you can change (in this case, agent pool). This video is the encouragement, in fact the realization, I need to switch to omen/phoenix for my tendency to aggressively contest areas of the map. Hopefully with that change I can hit immortal!
You are super rigth about what to change to rank up, I usually play sentinels (sage,cyfher, killjoy). but at some point on gold 3/platinum 1 I felt that i can´t win games been a sentinel cause my team does´nt even clean angles while we were pushing.
im in class and i prioritize your videos
Ah! No! Go learn that then learn this!
Thank you for the advice dragonmar! Although I agreed with your advice, I wouldn't use the word "change", I would prefer the word "expand". Expand your playstyle, your agent pool, your default setups in every map, anything. I was an Omen main , and Omen enabled me to play aggressively which helped me climb all the way from plat 1 to diamond 1 until I peaked there and deranked back to plat 2 in less than 2 weeks. Reason? I was way too aggressive with Omen, I got countered easily in those ranks and made stupid decisions that are dangerous in solo queuing. Solution? I expanded my agent pool to a more defensive one, which is for me, Killjoy. So now I got two mains that I can pick depending on how confident I am on making plays or playing defensive for the team, and now I am diamond 2 in less than a month now from plat 2.
What you said about Brimstone not being able to bring your potential out kind of hit me personally, I've been maining sage in ranked and I've gotten pretty good with her but my bread and butter was always entry fragging and being very aggressive, with sage I usually end up following my team from the back and it feels really uncomfortable. I'm thinking of unlocking omen, I usually play reyna instead of sage but not everyone picks controllers and I really need smokes in my games. I'm gold 2 right now, hopefully I can get plat, I play from the middle east so my ping is high but I mean hey, no one gets anywhere by complaining about what they don't have
I am hard stuck Iron 3/Bronze 1. I have been stuck at this rank since early November 2020. My aim as significantly gotten better than what it was back then. I have used countless agents and have at least learned an agent for 2 weeks. I have also tried getting help from higher ranked friends who are bronze and silver. I have done multiple types of gameplay and certain strategies, but I see no improvement in rank.
You are such a wholesome person so imma go try all of that out rn!
I have been at Gold 2-3 for all of act 1 and continue to be so in act 2. Have only hit plat once and them immediately dropped. I hope I can put this video to good use.
i was pretty stuck in like gold 2 gold 3 area playing sage and i decided to switch off of sage with the nerf and play phoenix and in the first few games i ascended to plat
I’ve been plat1/2 the entire act but this last week I’ve noticed a sudden jump in my abilities and constantly dropping high kill games and winning. But since it takes so many games to rank up for me atp I am still stuck. I won 14 games and only lost 3 over the course of 2 days and still am in plat 2(was in plat 1 at the start of that streak).
I'm hardstuck in plat 2 since act 1 y play mainly sage, i knew i needed to change something and this vídeo was the push i needed.
I think i'm gonna pass on the entry fragers but i'm gonna give brim a chance, i always get good results playing arround other ppls smokes, time yo use my own.
genuinely good advice. thanks man
I keep going from silver to bronze and it’s annoying because I know that I can play better than most silvers it’s just that my teammates are new to the game and don’t take it as seriously.
Haven't finished watching the video yet but I'm hardstuck plat and was plat 3 for a good 40 games but just got demoted to plat 2 recently hopefully this video helps me
Nothing wrong with deranking! I fell to D2 made an agent swap and right beck to Immo1 I went!
Been bouncing between Plat 1-3 since b e t a. I'm basically the definition of hardstuck. My biggest problem at this point is that I just don't bang out enough games. I'm not getting any better playing one a day if even that.
I literally am hardstuck D3, I q with immortal 3s and Didn’t tank up after being on a 10 win streak top fragging, i am a brim main and been stuck d3 for weeks now
Rybellion this comment makes no sense you get an uprank if you win 10 games in a row. I won 3 and got upranked to immo 1
Syntax It depends how much he played. He could have been gold or plat at the beginning of aft
It’s probably because I was stuck d3 for some time bouncing back from d2 and d3
WOW! this helped a lot! im no longer stuck in my stepsis! THANKS!
i usually play more supportive roles like sage and sova cause with the mates i play with they always play duelist and i fill in where i can, but i think im going to start playing a duelist or a more aggresive hero hopefully i can finally make it out of plat 2!
Hey dragonmar! I am having so much trouble getting out of D2/3 for the longest into immortal. Could you make another video for high elo vod review by any chance. Would help a lot for me and a bunch of high elo players
Coming soon ;)
Dragonmar Awesome thank you so much! Also because of you i’m a brim one trick pony
I rancked back from iron to silver and stlill climbing due to changing from cypher to omen and raze
(I also did some aim training)
I have been stuck in mid/high bronze since act 1 and i hope this video helps me out
also im a cypher main
Does Cypher fit your play style? At your rank you may get more value out of a more aggressive agent
@@Dragonmar i generally play more defensive but i have been trying phoenix out
Thanks bro! Im really hardstucking platinum 3 and deranked to plat 1 but i will try to rank up to diamond 1
Thanks a lot I was stuck in plat 3 and I took some of your advice and I am now Diamond 2
Plat 2 to silver3 what a journey🤣😭😭😭
I'm hardstuck in G3 for like a month , i play sage but tbh i spend must of the time so upset with my team bc they don't want to commit to a point, they have a lot of fear to die o shits like that, so i started to play phoenix and raze, i'm doing ok, winning with a better KDA and that stuff, so i really hope in a while I will climb to plat :) also I make youtube vídeos and one guy in my comments said that I have a really good aim and gamesense so I really hope that's true hahaha, good vídeo my friend
Glad you swapped off Sage. I think she actually holds a lot of people back who feel forced to play her. Good luck, and thank you!
@@Dragonmar yeah I feel the same,Sage it's "necesary" but when you played it's like carrying some weight
I play omen and I am a bit aggro but I am definitely hardstuck
Before I rank up I atleast want to master skye, breach pheonix or Jett
I am fine with being stuck in iron 1 but in that time I want to improve the other things like mechanical skills ability usage map control and gamesense
Another thing I have noticed I get spooked easily by players resulting in me choking
I wrote this comment as a way to motivate others to not get triggered over getting hardstuck and improve for your future rank as one day you will reach it
ive been stuck in bronze since act 1, ive bounced from iron 3 to bronze 2 since june
when comp first came out i was bronze 1, and i ended the beta at gold 1. at launch i got raked gold 3 and at this moment i'm only Plat 2, i think my problem is honestly that i play like one game a day if that lol.
Somehow I climbed from gold 1 to gold 3 in 2 games, i got match mvp in both and won both games convincingly, is that probably why?
Thanks for all the content😁
Thank you for supporting me!
10/10 video as always
I moved from Raze to Killjoy and went from silver 2 to gold 2 in just a couple days
Sounds like passive play fits you! Nice job!
@@Dragonmar It's a mix of passive and aggressive, but far far more passive than i was playing raze.
me whos been on iron 1 since act 1...
me idk why man im doinng good idk why im always mvp n winning
Lmao your teams trash
Thanks so much!i finally hit silver two i was stuck in bronze 3 for almost a month
The more I try to get better the lower my rank goes. Was diamond, played casually. Want to go pro so ive been practicing like 8 hours a day or more. Drops to gold.
cypher main, but i got a 25 the first time i played reyna. still dont know the difference between the dismiss and heal keys though :)
My main Reyna but i m better with raze, 25 with reyna is finger in the nose
I'm iron 1 for a month I'm meeting guys from radiant and I'm like whhyyyy??
I have tried playing every agent in the book but im still hardstuck gold. I hit plat and silver in the same week sometimes. But i cant leave the gold area. I have tried changing sens, keeping the same sens for ever, i have a 2 hour long aim training routine i do before bed, and i believe i play pretty smart. Everytime i die i feel like there is nothing i can do that would possibly make me win the gun fight. I have tried vod reviewing and looking back but i just get running one tapped and util dumped. It feels like the only way to not die there is to not fight them. If you guys know anything that has helped you rank up please let me know, this aspect of the game is just ruining it for me. I am not a toxic person by any means but lately i cant help but get mad. I spectate my teamates and it feels like im playing with irons against immortals. What do i do.
Personally not hardstuck, still ranking up but id love to play more dualist or flashbang characters, only issue is that there are so many instalockers still in plat-diamond that im kind of forced to play a controller :/
Thank you for the advice!
I'm stuck at Plat 2, been trying to get to diamond this season. I've won 9 matches in a row at plat 2 and no rank up, lost 1 match and then got demoted...
i've never hit a plateau, i started at the plateau and stayed on it for the past 3 acts. I top frag almost every comp game i play with my main, and i consistently win, until im almost ranking up, then i hit smurfs or really bad teammates (im iron 3). This probably sounds really egotistical, but ive basically given up on comp cuz its just so dumb, and theres no point in even playing
I can play initiator, controller, and duelist all pretty well, the same thing happens every time with every new agent i try
If you're hardstuck below gold i would say this to you. Players in those ranks are really bad just get some good crosshair placement and positioning and you can totally carry and climb.
Hey dragonmar I’m hard stuck d1 d2 and really play sage but I don’t frag but when I play someone like Phoenix I get a kill all most every round. The problem is that most of my team hates playing sage or cypher and I’m stuck play them what should I do?
Do not ever feel forced to play Sage! She had like a 35% play rate in the recent tourney. Try to focus on what you are good at, I suggest trying Brim and Omen for you. Use your smokes in place of Sage wall and then try out the rest of their kit. Should feel familiar but opportunistic
thank you so much. i learned a lot and this helped a lot. thank you
Man, I'm early. This is going to be very useful for me rn.
Yes and feel free to ask questions, I can give more specific advice since this video is based on the 1 best option I’ve found so far
I was Bronze 3 back in act 1 and now I’m Iron. I’m not Hardstuck, I’m improving just backwards.
Okay I used to main sage and was hard stuck bronze I will come back in a few months and see my progress
You're the best, Kyle
No u
How can I stay more consistent in my games? Some days or even weeks I am doing extremely well (like I’m in the “zone”) and for maybe a week or two, I am consistently bottom fragging HARD
1. Mindset: play to improve. 2. Focus: no distractions 3. Routine: Warmup before your session
Ive gone from Silver 2 to Iron 3 cause I keep running into smurfs. In the past week I’ve been playing a lot and I’ve gotten back to bronze 3
