How to ACTUALLY Climb Out of Low Elo | A Top500's Guide for Improving

Thanks for this! I was heartbroken, when I dropped from high plat back to silver when I decided to get back to Overwatch. But my road to reach diamond is still on. Hope your channel will have a good future

Man, I didnt even think this could be someone's first video until you said it at the end. You're very well-articulated and you seem to know damn well what you're talking about. I hope you make it big, my guy!

Big tip to rank up: Don't use chat. If you don't use the chat (text and coms) you have a statistically higher chance for teammates to not throw. Not huge odds, just 4x the likelihood your teammates don't sell. In inverse is true, don't start talking, if you do you will have 4x more bad teammates Edit: Overall this guy has good advice, the only thing to add that nobody talks about is how long it will take to rank up. Each rank is a learning experience so don't worry about anything other than being a better player

There’s a HUGE issue in low ranks that you didn’t hit on. Something I’ve noticed in plat and below is people hold ults for 5-10 minutes or never use it the WHOLE game (I’ve seen that so much). Another thing they do with ults is they stack all the ults, and when one person ults then EVERYONE ults. These aren’t things I see happening once in a while it’s every single match. So many winnable games and team fights are lost because people just hold their ults, which can make it hard to rank up. I remember what helped me get to diamond back in OW1 was watching top 500 streamers and I noticed they would ult as soon as they were able to get value out of it. I used to play a lot of Zarya and enjoyed watching Harbleu. What I noticed was as soon as he got grav he would immediately chuck it and get kills. I implemented this into my gameplay and noticed that you can create an aggressive perpetual ult cycle where you do lots of damage/get kills, build ult, use it, and do it again (or using support ults to save someone or the whole team) Not saying that as soon as your ult hits 100% you should use it, but you should use it right away if you can secure at least 1 kill, bait out an ult, create space, etc. It’s pretty situational but you shouldn’t be holding ults the whole match, always try to use them as soon as you can.

as someone who climbed all the way from bronze to masters (trying for gm lol), this is by far the best advice anyone can give on this subject and i hope everyone listens and writes this all down! this is exactly what helped me climb!

Thank you for this! I've only been playing "fps" games for about a year now, and have only been playing Overwatch for 3-4 months. I've been wanting to try out Ranked, but the tip videos and misery I've seen of it keeps psyching me out of even trying. This is way more motivational than any other video on the topic I've ever seen.

THANK YOU!!!!! I climbed from Bronze 5 to Gold, and now I'll use this to get to Plat or Diamond!

Yo I always liked consuming educational Overwatch content so I've known mostly everything you've gone over but these are by far the MOST important and useful tips I've gathered! Fire video man.

Honestly, great video. Earned a sub. Can’t stand all these people who have been top of the leaderboards since the beginning of OW1 (who the comp system basically just carries from season to season) basically just insulting lower ranks with no help to improve.

You helped me so much more then you think I’ve been struggling so hard and my mentality kept going down the shitter thank you❤

Genuinely the best rank-up video I have seen on YouTube. I myself am working on making it to high masters low gm. I started around the same time you did and was hard stuck bronze for my first year. Overtime I have improved peaking at masters 4 and working my way towards GM. I have also shared my experiences on YouTube and methods I've used throughout climbing through every rank below masters, NONE of which are as good as this video. I look forward to seeing more of your content in the future!

actually the best video ever, instead of being told the same things, im told that it's MY fault and I have to do something about it. thanks dude

I'm glad I took the chance to look at this video, while there are some points that get repeated often by others, its the way it was said and presented that made it easier to understand exactly what to do :D Thanks for the vid!

dude i needed this. beautiful video layed out nice and the tips are genuine! best of luck to all you grinders
