According to the link I shared above, 3000 is the top 22%. Top 10% starts at 3500 SR. That said, I still take on board your comments. I think my main query about the difference in players across 2500 to 3000 is that individuals, like yourself and booyaka, play at both these levels depending on how you are doing at a given time. Similarly, my son plays more than I do and has managed to get to mid gold max,

The climb from 2500 to 3k would be easy for a highly skilled dps player all they need to do is get in a match and headshot every one with widow or hanzo. Which is why when you get to diamond the dps players are so good.

For someone like me climbing is a lot harder as its all about working on consistancy, personally I like to check my character stats mid/end season and see my win percentages for each character. I think it was last season I checked my winston and dva were only 33% winrate even though I feel Im good with them I stopped playing them as it obviously isn't working.
My other trick to climbing is working on a good defence, On 2cp with my symmetra play I stick turrets outside spawn room door at start and shoot the door and I can get tele up within first min. Even bad team mates can hold a point if they got a tele straight back.

After the first 50 or so games of this season my winrate for symmetra was like 85% which is what gets me to climb fast. (I was just using her on 2cp defence)

Once in diamond the symmetra gets a lot less effective turrets are shot instantly and tele gets shot by tracer.

You have to change the way you play as you climb. Now I'm in dimond it's more about enabling the dps players to do there thing and kill everyone.
 
This will make a few people chuckle. I was in a 4v4 team deathmatch, I play Mei 80% of the time. I consider my self fairly good with her.

This one guy was set on me hacking, coming out with lines like "nice aimbot, you've not missed me once". Best part was he was playing junk and flying all over the place. There is no easier moving target than a falling target. He then switched up to a few other toons and focused me so hard. The amount of hacking accusations was funny, even his team was trying to convince him I wasn't.

It was probably the pinnacle of my Mei career haha. But seriously, how do you even hack as Mei? Surely it's impossible due to the projectile speed meaning hit scan hacks would just fail? Either way, it felt good.

Then I got a message from a Rein calling me all sorts after I continuously walled him off from the team so I could freeze him and let our team destroy him. He really did NOT like that.

Needless to say, as bad as comp is, this game still has some fun in it's alternative modes.
 
That reminds me of a screenshot I came across the other day. I went through a period of playing Mei, I think I made an impression on the enemy team in this one, with even them voting for me.

She can be very annoying when played well.

Projectile aimbots exist for sure, I've seen them used in TF2 but I highly highly doubt it's possible in Overwatch lol.

Of course it's possible. Just getting caught is expensive! Blizzard also tend to run multiple algorithms to identify cheaters beyond just account. It's been know to have hacked, been banned and still be banned on a brand new purchased account.
 
Finally out of Gold again! made it to platinum last night.

People complaining about teamplay in diamond go spend some days in silver/gold combos when every game you have a hanzo/widow/mcree/pharah that must be trying to play with a steering wheel
 
Having dipped down to around 1950, I've risen back up to around 2160 now, so gradually getting back to where I started. Had some good games with Famas recently. One very nice Overtime win where it started badly, I couldn't find an effective DPS, but landed on Reaper and they didn't seem to be able to deal with him tbh. Finished their overtime push with a nice 5 man kill :)

Team play at silver and gold is few and far between, people play the game like death match at this rank.

Like Andy says been having better games going as a duo, I'm nearly out of silver and back into gold after a really bad losing streak doing solo que.

New team matching/social features might tempt me back! Then again the new symmetra looks mental as well!

I wouldn't get too excited... they are a step in the right direction but short-sighted at best...

Endorsement feature - great! Having the option to report players for positive things is what they should have done from the start... however they absolutely should not have tied rewards to it, as now all that will happen is people abusing the system by trading endorsements 1:1 with each other... *game ends* "hey everyone please endorse me and I'll endorse you back k thx"

The "looking for group" thing - again great... although there will definitely be abuses of this as well - "hi GM smurf playing on a mid-Plat account, looking for 5 players all high-silver to team up with so I can wreck scrubs, I'll help you climb as well"
 
There's everyone talking about their SR, i'm happy I got Roadhog's "Want some candy" voiceline, probably my current favourite from them all xD Though I am currently sat at 2500 something SR

You need to focus man... this is the time to get all the dance emotes! :D
 
Yeah I been grabbing all the dance emotes.

Sad for me that they are pretty much deleting symmetra, it would have been nice for us symmetra fans if they could have just given her a rework. Doesn't seem fair to the symm fans.
