You still get Jett's that go 4-17. You still get entire teams that never use voice chat. Still get running one-tapped across the map. Still seeing the same strategies that I saw in silver. I don't feel like my aim is getting any better, nor is my game sense. The only difference is that it takes me 5x longer to find a match now. It only ever took 30 seconds or less to find a match in silver and gold, now it takes over 3-4 minutes to find a match in plat. This rank system feels so arbitrary, that the only difference between silver and plat just happens to be how good your win percentage is, which doesn't factor in skill or game sense at all, it's just luck that's based on whether you have smurfs on your team or not.
Coming from CS:GO, there's such a noticeable difference between silver, gold nova, and master guardian, that you can almost tell even without seeing their rank. Hopefully they rework the rank system soon, because it really doesn't work in its current state.
