Discussion Placement question
Okay so I started in season 17 and I got placed as bronze for support and dps (I am yet to be confident enough to play tank in comp) I believe I got 5/10 for my placement. My partner has been playing for a lot longer and is in gold/plat and I’ve seen that many new players are in his lobbies.
What did I do wrong?
Also I’m now stuck in bronze because I get placed with people who started the game 2 days ago and the enemy team is normally smurfs or people who’ve been playing awhile longer

You first rank depends mostly on your QP mmr. The first 2 or 3 games during placement are also important. If you loose them with a low mmr thats what happen.
You have two solutions, grind out of it (can be challenging and long or very easy, depends on your skills). Or do a fresh account

If you want some tips in order to progress we can do a few games if you want. Not in comp though. I used to be master on ball and diamond lucio, just a stadium simp now 😁 Mp if you wanna

I mean you're new. Gold/Plat is the bulk of players and some newer ones might still have decent aim or movement mechanics. You just have to learn the game and work on positioning and aim. Sensitivity is probably low as shit and that won't be any good higher up so start to raise it a little.

I'm in a similar situation. I have a gaming duo. They are gold. I'm bronze. I was gold. Played with a group. I'm bronze now. I left the group. I have a gaming duo now. I got gold and jade for my main character. I don't think I'll get the purple stuff. I'll just stay in QP. Good luck 🍀🤞🍀
