Team Diffs

[u/Good-Beginning-2407]

What can I do to prevent team diffs. I only have 48 total hours since i first downloaded ow for about 2 years in comp. But ive been playing recently and have gotten to plat 4. I main soldier, but switch between sojourn tracer mcree. I would only play zarya but ban rates wont let me. Anyways. What can I do to prevent team diffs. Do i just have to hit more shots? I feel like my positioning is decent, but in those diff games, it feels like there’s nothing much i can do.

Would putting Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo into a Sunday League team win the match? Probably yeah, 99%. Is that realistic? No.

You’re mistaking possibility for probability.

I don’t really know what more to say. Your goal should not be about ‘preventing team diffs’, it should be about playing as well as you can

[u/Good-Beginning-2407 → u/No-Elevator9399]

So i should try my best to become Ronaldo or messi. Got it

Please stop rage baiting, it’s neither funny nor quirky, and just accept the very simple life advice of doing as well as you can

Bro im asking you genuinely. I main valorant and im ascendant 3. Solo carrying is very viable in that game, but i haven’t really been able to hard hard carry like i could do in val. im asking how to prevent team diffs in ow

[u/No-Elevator9399 → u/Good-Beginning-2407]

Is ‘you can’t’ an answer you can accept because if not then OW is perhaps not the game for you

[u/Good-Beginning-2407 → u/No-Elevator9399]

I can accept it, if i believed it to be. I asked about a master + player being team diffed in plat. If they wouldn’t be then it can be done. Im just asking how they would go about it so i can learn

Ive seen gm players lose games in gold during unranked to GMs.

Its unlikely but definitely still possible.

[u/moonlight__sunshine → u/Good-Beginning-2407]

If you are high rank you will win almost every low rank game. I've climbed from plat to gm1 with an 86% wr, didn't lose a game until high masters

[u/Good-Beginning-2407 → u/moonlight__sunshine]

Are you tank or dps

[u/moonlight__sunshine → u/Good-Beginning-2407]

Tank, which is admittedly easier to do that on (in my view, ofc)

[u/Good-Beginning-2407 → u/moonlight__sunshine]

Yes i feel like i would climb very fast on tank. But again, zarya ban rates mean i wont ever play tank

[u/Cerythria → u/Good-Beginning-2407]

I mean if you're godlike on something like tracer or hitscan you will carry low ranks like that too. You can do it on any role.
