I have been doing a reticuleless challenge and I'm stuck in diamond without it.

Yes that is relatively low.
Just played with a 5 stack that were boosting two gold players, I threw the game when it was winnable because of how cocky they were acting.
This was at about 3250.
Too many smurfs, ruins the game.
Never underestimate the unknown, or some shit. *shrugs i unno*
Saw this and thought of you:

I'll be interested to see his response to the reply after his. Same main? Different main? Flex accounts? Time input per account? Too many variables and too little info to draw any useful conclusions.
For sure different playstyles are required in different ranks, my alt dropped into gold recently and holy hell do I need to play conservatively, apparently chasing kills and forcing staggers is now considered 'overextending' by most of gold. Guess we'll sit on cart and have 3 more team fights than necessary.
Mercy main trying to play Genji and stuff while not bothering with comms because they are on alts, got it.
Thanks for the recitation.
In my experience more than holding people back the MMR system in Overwatch persistently lets people go on luck streaks and put them far higher than they belong because their isn't enough focus on defining a metric for performance.
That was my line of thinking. I'm okay with the performance increased SR gains being a bit scuffed, the more benefit of the doubt people get to get into diamond the better, gold and low plat games are just so far from real games of Overwatch that the less time spent there for people who really wanna git gud the better.
Please, do not take offense, but have you lived under a rock? This is by far the strongest meta and the most common from Plat to GM.
And
Like 90% of all contenders games are goats meta.
The world cup was also almost only goats meta.
Even with reaper buffs and various nerfs, goats meta is still the strongest in the game.
Overwatch League season 2 will start with goats meta.
And it's litterally 50% of all competitive games and I'm at 3k too.
Well, we can't forget the hype of recent patches with buffs and nerfs etc. People are hyped to play these heroes and are overall tired of goats.
I am sick of goats too. And yes, goats are weaker in diamond than higher ranks, so you might be right, it might have decreased, I have only done a few games, saw 1 goats in 3 games.
But from what I learned, from watching the pros and hearing them talk about it, as well as various expert channels on youtube (who are really well read), goats is still the strongest meta in Masters and GM and will be on the pro scene. I am not at that level of course, and lets hope your streak of non-goats will be the new standard at this level.
Sensationalist idiots trying to get more views on their youtube channels are still bitching about reaper, when he needs a mobility buff and head hitbox adjust to be viable still.
I haven't been killed by a reaper yet, if my team is having trouble with one I just play Widow, Hanzo or Ashe and he can barely leave spawn.
Anything that can outrange him soft counters him, anything with a knockback or cc ability hard counters him.

Finally dragged my sorry arse out of silver into gold! #feelsgood.
Might have had just a lucky streak, but feels like I haven't had too many morons recently.
