This is true but my advice isn't for smurfing pros who can outplay everybody and win. Zagara is hard to play and Raynor is USELESS if your team/support are a bunch of morons.

I don't think you realize how bad a lot of players are in Rank 30+, it's a nightmare trying to support anyone lol.
You are correct. But you also have to acknowledge the enemy team isn't that much better then your team as well. If you can identify who is the best teammate and assist him the best you can, this will often leads to better winrates then trying to do all yourself.Shotcalling is something you should always do no matter what role you are playing anyway.
