I chose Litten . I always choose fire starter in every version . <| sep |> I know i ' m gonna get downvoted for this . <| sep |> Firstly I ' ll say that I don ' t think I screwed anyone anymore than if I was some random gold played since I tried to play as a gold player since thats the rank I was going for . Also mine and Ster ' s example are not meaningless , it just may not apply as much as to silver to gold teir as it does to goldplatdiamond . But I am not a gold level player so I cannot accurately simulate that elo hellbut in all honestly I do think for the majority of games in silver teir a gold player will make a difference to the team , you say that people will just leave if it doesn ' t look like a win , well then why are you not winning in the first place since you have a gold player and 5 worse people vs 6 worse people so you should make a big enough difference . If that doesn ' t work out and you can ' t make a difference to be winning the game then party up with people nothing is stopping silvers from finding other silvers or golds who do want to rank up and climbing the ranksBut overall I have seen a gold player fall down to silver and his name is Sips , he has streamed overwatch for a few weeks now and he started around gold and fell to silver and got back up again and worked his way to plat now so I think it can be done and I think it is more likely that maybe you do deserve to be in silver and not in gold if you aren ' t climbing , but remember if you are playing and you are looking at your mistakes you can improve and then climb , your skill rating can improve if you are willing to .
