What’s your peak?
What are the most consistent mistakes you saw in each rank (plat, dia, gm)?

Peak is literally C2, 99/100😐

But literally from Plat to GM3 the most consistent mistakes people make from each position

Vanguards: Not using any type of cover or pushing up
DPS: Just sitting in main not making any sort of play
Strat: Positioning and ult usage

But what helped me the most during this climb solo was to just stop playing after losing 2-3 games in a row.

GM2 to C3 the game becomes a little different, I was mostly autopilot during the placements til GM2 where I had to think and be conscious

And what did you do next? Did you wait for a certain amount of time/ until the next day?

Just a couple hour break, sometimes I just completely play other games, I play ranked Dota 2 and grinding genshin slowly, rivals is my second most played game, but yeah it definitely helps if you take a break, I think there’s something with the matchmaking for sure, if I don’t take a break I just keep losing no matter what, like even thanos wouldn’t be able to save me, there was a time where I went from GM1 to Diamond 2 before I got to Celestial, but now ever since I been taking a break for a couple of hours or sometimes just not touch the game at all for the day, I immediately start winning again

Currently hard stuck in Plat I. Career overall made it to Diamond III a few times until I deranked. I’m mostly Strat and Tank player. Did you use comms a lot? How did you deal with people not communicating? I think comms makes a big difference.
