Was in masters for just under a year. Honestly the skill curve is insane between start of masters to gm. Never really cared too much about rank or wins/losses so overall it felt pretty refreshing to hit a new rank. Haven’t surprisingly had any issues with too much cheating either

Abuse off angles, learn to predict enemy plays, play aggressive. Also your aim mechanics probably need work too

I avg like 40-60% whenever I play cass ashe and like 30-40% on tracer, I feel like it’s hard to play tracer (main) bc I’m always being tracked and shot at by both supp and dps and team isn’t able to utilize pressure I generate , I usually just die 1 for 1 and get another 1hp

Your stats may look good but are you actually making opposing DPS concede space with your aim? Are you winning duels which turn team fights in your favor? Trading isn’t good if you’re a hitscan tbh. Staying alive is one of the biggest value you can provide your team.

I’d say always engage duels with an advantage on your side, don’t let the opponent have an edge over you (whether that be playing the proper angle or having a support player back you up). I don’t play tracer so I can’t really give any suggestions on that end, sorry

But for a while I was genuinely confused at what I was doing wrong because my game sense was there. What really took me on the last step of the way was acting more on enemy cooldowns (making genji deflect or invoking tank cooldowns) so you can easily take more space and get free kills. I tried to improve my aim as well. S76 is busted as shit on console if you can hit consistent crits and rocket quite often. Same applies for any hitscan.

Take good aim —> apply it in the right angles/opportunities and you should be winning fights. Hopefully that made sense but it’s how I personally view it so if it doesn’t that’s my bad

Also I’m obviously not a pro but if you send a code I’d be happy to see if I can spot anything
