Alright it's been 6 days since that game and I went from Diamond 1 to Ascendant 3 on this fresh account.
Honestly, I'm a Yoru main and it's very easy to rank up as Yoru if you have good aim and game sense. I'd say it's much harder to rank up as a Raze main because your mechanics need to be extremely good. It's still doable of course, but it does require more team coordination for Raze.
During my climb on this account, I've noticed that these diamond-ascendant players make a LOT of mistakes. Basically, in every situation, there are high percentage plays and low percentage plays. No one in these lobbies seems to be able to recognize what the high percentage play is.
I will point out to a teammate what they should have done after the round ends, however, it's usually met by "reason X" or "reason Y", and their logic just makes no sense.
I've also not been top fragging every game during this climb. In fact, I've had a couple of bottom fragging games, but, I'm still able to win these games because I know how to contribute to a round win without fragging out.
I guess my advice would be to recognize what the most optimal play is in any given situation. However, this takes a lot of practice and experience to understand. If you're able to do this though, you will definitely rank up fast.
