I'll Forever be Bronze

And sure, tell me to git gud while you're at it like everybody else on the damn forum. PLD is impossible to climb with compared to other jobs. The fact that it's a team game where nobody wants to work together obviously shows that Ranked is an utter shite show and should be shut down.

Oh crap guys, another statistic that prove my point YET AGAIN!

Nah dude, don't worry bout it... aint nobody here except PVP andies gonna give you crap for phoning it in at bronze.

not that i care for ranked but i seem to have the most effect on a WHM for CC. try that one out.

Trying to climb with PLD sounds miserable, it's probably doable but will take a lot more time and effort to dredge through the first brackets where people don't understand they are under your Cover and can Elixir up.

They are however kinda hated on higher end due how good they are when people have actual teamwork.

If you only care about rank I'd recommend another Job to climb until at least Plat.

It's hard to pick another job because someone told me I should try PLD and run it. I don't really know much else other than BLM - and I doubt it's a carry.

There are some absolutely amazing paladins that play CC and carry their team on their back. That being said it is an extremely busy job with high punish/reward structure based on decisions you make. It certainly isn't for everyone. If you like playing DPS give GNB a try. You can clap people almost as quickly as many of the first choice dps jobs. DRK is also really good at controlling the crystal if you like complexity but less complex than PLD. I don't suggest anyone to play WAR. It's just a bunch of Crowd Control held together loosely by filler buttons. Bottom line if you aren't doing well with the job I would definitely suggest trying another before calling it quits. And don't let the lower ranks discourage you. They are really awful this season.

Had Raven from the PvPrimal discord suggest me BRD. Though I've heard a lot of people cry about BRD since this patch. Not sure how it fares...

If you can record a game, I would be more than happy to give you some pointers on what you could personally do better to help improve your winrate regardless of RNG teammates or party composition.

BRD is still pretty solid, but it got limited a lot compared to how it used to be.

You don't have to worry about having to adjust to changes in range but about getting used to it as it presently is, so I'd say, give it a good try. It's still fun for me even though I will press silence a bunch of times when out of range in every match... Repelling Shot can go wrong but it's super fun and I would encourage to use it as often as possible. With more space it's great, corners are not that good unless you need to pot behind one or lb. You also get a good view of what is actually going right or wrong. LB can be a real blast and a tide turner... Bard is a team player job, there is no other way with that one. You will be the one watching tanks get in trouble and sometimes be in position to help them stay alive. With silence, repelling shot and paeon there are some things that can be done for others. I would recommend macros for paeon for every team member so it's easier to throw it at someone so long you don't need it for yourself. Autotargetting nearest helps you always shoot someone between target switching so you can keep yourself nice and busy and it helps when you get jumped from behind. I'd recommend you to see what you can make of it.
