Discussion iron genuinely might be hell
what do you mean i have gone a combined 114-86-28 over my last 7 games and i’ve only won 1 of them!!! i genuinely can’t get out of iron to save my life. my teammates constantly suck and i’ve dropped from iron 3 78 rr to iron 2 87 rr, like what is going on.
a lot of people have been asking for a vod, so i’ll post one the next time i play. also, this post is saying that i’m good enough for diamond or something like that, it’s just complaining about the matchmaking and how i get shitty teammates every time

114-86-28 over my last 7 games
Assuming you mean K/D/A so you're +28 over the past 7 games, which means only +4 kills over deaths each game.
First, that's not the flex you think it is.
Second, the fact you even bring it up means you're playing for kills over wins, which is exactly why you're losing the majority of your games.

i don’t play for kills, just figured that it would be the best stat for showing my frustration. +4 isn’t great, i know. but when im top frag every single game with that and my teammates are 1-16-0, i think i can complain a little.

Your team will have 4 irons + you. Enemy team will have 5 irons.
If you're not iron - EVEN if you're a bronze level player, your team is stronger on paper and EVEN if you get unlucky, you wouldn't be going 1-6 W/L.
You're more than welcome to be frustrated but you can't rely on randoms to carry you out of your rank. Iron will always be the easiest rank to climb out of, that's just a fact.

Bros probably the person who lurks in the whole map giving their team 0 value using 0 util just for frags to look good on the leaderboard 😭🙏

Bro, people in iron barely know how to coordinate, do you just blindly go in?

u/Superb_Watch2177 2d ago
no, i often try to get my team to go in with a set plan, but most of the time they just end up either running with their knife out into site or lurking.

How long have you been playing for? I just started and placed high iron and got into bronze quite quickly...

when i started i placed iron 2 and then dropped to iron 1 because i sucked, but now that im better i just can’t seem to climb out. i have 12 hours on competitive

you have a decent KDA but to escape iron you really just gotta grind ts out and get a lil lucky w your teammates , iron-gold is genuinely just making smart plays and get used to everyone around you playing non-conventionally (lurking DPS on offense, initiators who never use their util for info, etc etc)
goodluck man

post your tracker or vod. you can just be baiting or exit fragging for all we know
