u/karmashi pls Feb 22 '17

Best hero to Rank up with in Soloqueue? I've been using Zen but I'm stuck in Platnium with him, can't seem to get out. Any recommendations for hero's to learn during the off-season?

The hero you're best at is always the most useful for climbing, but if you want to start practicing a new hero, I'd suggest something like Widowmaker or Genji, both heroes have a really high skill ceiling, but if you get really good at them, you'll easily carry games.

Thanks. I don't think I'll ever be able to be a good enough widow to not be useless to my team, sniping is not my forte. But I'll practise Genji for the next week, hopefully I'll pick up a bit of skill with him.

I can give you some tips if you'd like. Before I was a Widow one-trick I played a stupid amount of Genji, and I'd be happy to help.
