Is consistency the key, or am I missing something?

I have probably around 60-80 hours on Spider-Man across two accounts. I know his important combos (BnB, yo-yo, sekkombo, melee, Batman, long pull) I know all his animation cancels, yet I find myself struggling still. On my main account I played him in GM with my duo who is fortunately a dive tank main. I’ve been trying to prog my alt and the highest I’ve gotten is plat 2 by forcing Spider-Man only. On that account I don’t care about winning or losing, I only care about playing Spider-Man well.

But I want to know what I’m missing, because I feel I know I am better than the rank I’m stuck in, but I can’t climb.

Something I struggle with on my alt is killing anything when the enemy team is just permanently grouped up. Nobody in plat runs dive so I’m way more often than not solo diving as Spider-Man. It makes it extremely difficult to kill anyone, and even if I yo-yo a support they are going to have some sort of escape tool.

Plz help.

LF Vod review. Diamond 2

Rewatched the vod myself and I’m realize I need to spend more time in the backline. I think my biggest issue is I automatically retreat to my team or healthpacks in my teams area rather than going to healthpacks in the enemy backline. I also spent too much time brawling in this vod.

Yet another subscription question

New player here

Played a while ago and bought the subscription, got a character to lv 41 and then dropped the game for whatever reason. Subscription is expired now.

Returning now on a new character and I’m wondering if I can get my new character to the max level since I created it outside of the subscription period. Thanks

I dropped from GM2 to P1 in the span of 2 days. I had a 60% WR on Magneto last season I played. This game is tiring me, and I keep playing it. I am being matched with peak Plat1 players as I am trying to get out of Platinum. I can’t even believe I just uttered those words, I’ve always taken pride in being the best player on the team with the lowest deaths, good accuracy, good counter ults and bubbles, ult tracking, cooldown tracking etc.

The last straw for me was when I was playing with a god awful plat 1 peak team and I was solo tanking as Mag, of course, enemy team is running flier comp, Ultron iron man. I ask my team to please kill the fliers, as I can only do so much to them on Mag.

You know what my team does? Someone gets on Squirrel Girl. I left the game and uninstalled.

I don’t know what it is but somehow I went from GM3 to plat 1 overnight.

I’m getting the most absurd comps where I’m solo tanking as mag with 4 dps and a solo healpool, or just getting outright throwers, support players that die to random bullshit regardless of how many times I bubble them from an ult. It’s crazy. Idk.

For reference I have about 50 hours on Spider-Man.

Went from GM3 to D2. About a 10 loss streak. I got to GM playing mostly Spider-Man, but flexing tank/support when needed. Which thankfully isn’t very often.

It was really rough. Usually I duo queue with my friend who’s a Venom main so that makes things significantly easier, but today he wasn’t on so I solo queued.

I was really struggling to have any impact today. One of the last games was against a Gambit & CnD. I could not do anything to them. CnD would instantly lock on to me and blind me the moment I was seen. Gambit would chase me and kill me after I attempt to soft dive/bait CDs. I quite literally could not do anything, and it’s very demoralizing. I went like 6-6 by the time my Moon Knight had 24 kills from aiming at the floor.

Looking back at it, I think the way I engage needs work. I think I tend to swing down main to go in for a Batman combo, but I get locked onto instantly, preventing me from finding any value. Which is obviously an error. Also, I messed up my uppercut animation cancel FOUR TIMES in a row at one point, which leads me to accidentally zipping to the floor and dying. I very rarely ever mess up my uppercut animation cancel. I practice combos at least 5-10 minutes a day in practice range.

I will keep playing Spider-Man. Eventually I will get to Celestial on Spider-Man. Thanks for listening to my rant, even if you didn’t.
