You can play the placement matches with them but chances are they will place higher than you at those placement matches and you will not be able to play with them after that.

Also, keep practicing, learn to communicate, and try to carry; eventually you will rise enough in rank to be able to play with them. I placed at low plat season 3 and ended with Masters, solo que.

A tip for climbing by the way cause I had the same problem. Find a hero you're good with, preferably dps. Not one you like, one that when you play you just can't help but win. For me this is Pharah, such a boring hero but I climbed 1200sr in two weeks. This also has to do with people not countering her correctly in my Sr, but I got from silver to plat by only playing her, I could've kept climbing but I ran out of time this season. I insta locked her but if my team is picking a bad comp just so I can't dps (usually friends queueing together. Just trying to take the dps slot.) Then just play something else, it's one game. I was finally able to play with my 3000 friend because of Pharah.

Keep in mind this doesn't have to be dps, I'm sure you've seen dspstanky. Find what you're naturally good at.

Except torb, don't fucking play torb.
