Let’s be honest here. There are allot of cheaters in the higher tiers. Mostly Diamond+. I played some games and literally had a tank just run in and stand there and get killed every time. People who die 5-8 times in a match literally has me suspicious. Never had people die that much in lower ranks and even higher ranks but when I see some people run in and just stand there and get killed that’s definitely cheating/win trading.

Yeah there is skill involved as you rank up but you definitely can’t carry a team even if you play an overpowered job if you have people throwing the matches. It’s impossible. I believe OP when he says he’s encountering cheaters. I’ve seen them myself. Allot of them. It’s sad because if you didn’t climb early now it’s even worst time to try to climb because so many are throwing matches.
