The problem is for us (people who didn't max rank "right away") is that in the beginning there were a ton of people playing that were...well... bad... so it was easy for a couple of players on each team to ultimately swing the fight. At this point, most of the worst players have stopped playing because they're not having fun and aren't getting anywhere. So, your teammates are a larger part of the total team skill level and you have a much lower chance of really turning the tide yourself.
I 100% agree. I have yet to even clear bronze tier after 50 up and down trips through the tier. And when you have teammates that don't understand how crucial it is to kill the healers as quickly and as often as possible then you may as well just not be contributing.
