Yeah but that's the next step once I have any sort of team. Right now I'm in position where I'm working second shift so I'm home at midnight and hardly any people I know are playing at that hour, so I'm trying to figure out how to best spend my weekend OW time. And whether it's better to spend my late-night OW time on grinding ranked or searching for any sort of scrims/pugs. I suppose I'll try the latter for now since there's no ranked anyway.
Best way to be amazing is to play with amazing people. If you grind ranked you'll consistently be put with idiots and will inevitably learn bad habits or things teams don't do. Better to play in good teams since the rate of self improvement becomes exponentially higher.

You make it sound like going to shop and picking right people on shelves when in reality I barely know where to search (Cixah gave me a direction but I've yet to see what comes from it). Plus I have no idea how good I am compared to tryharding people. I'll gladly play with people much better than me whom I can learn from. I'm just tired of pubs and very curious about high-level play, plus wanna test myself if I'm good enough for it I guess.

i mean in league of legends there's ranked play so you know exactly how good you are which is unfortunate for neko
They tested it in Beta. but increasing the tick rate of the servers made the game incredibly unstable. so the game only has the base mode right now, at 20hz(24?). They've stated they want 60hz for the competitive mode, but it's not in yet and i dunno how close they are to stability with it.

i'm sure if i was even remotely interested in playing OW i could help you out but alas all i have is life experience
also it's not really like a shop, it's more like the job market you apply to a bunch of stuff and eventually you hit a team that has a bar low enough then work your way up and make senpai notice you

If you read the thread (lol) you'd know there's also the question of "will ranked play matter" or "is it likely to be a good way to prove yourself". Pretty much everyone agreed it won't.
