I actually can fill and am target banned quite often in drafts, which benefits my team more then anything. maining abathur requires a base understanding on how to play each character due to his clone ability. You can't be a good abathur if you don't know how to play each character in the game with their base kit. which is why i'm accepting your 5v5 challenge, on the condition that it is under meta madness rules (which benefits you more then it does me if you are a filler and im not )
Meta madness rules are as follows:
Best of 3, 5, 7 (decided by captains, ie: you, me)
Which ever character is banned during the draft remains banned for the rest of the series (meaning if abathur is banned in game 1, nobody can pick abathur in game 2,3,4,5,6,7, therefore, the banlist gets higher and higher forcing everyone, not just the team captains to play out of their comfort zone if the series goes all the way)
Whichever team picks the map, the other team gets first ban and first pick choice in draft.
1-2 map choice bans for the series (we can skip this part if you don't agree)
I got 3 other accounts winchester that you dont know, 1 platnum, 1 diamond, 1 master.
go watch hotlogs newbe.
LPzKenshy, KenshyTV, KenshyPRO.
Hotslogs is down for a few weeks now, but when I showed you your record on Kenshy, why didn't you just say which acc of yours has masters? Or simply log on and show it's statistics from the season you got masters?
Getting grandmaster was easy for me because the enemy team target bans me and we steal all the top meta heroes that they would normally ban otherwise. And in the event they don't, I get my mains and we win. You've also said that abathur is a very bad hero, which anyone playing in Master or grandmaster will easily disagree with you as he has always had a very high ban rate in those ranks. You being in gold most of the time, you rarely see abathur play and rarely see abathur bans. When you see an abathur in gold you see it as an auto win/loss and the team with the abathur gets tilted and loses.
And for the record, it was 2018 and not 2017 when I started playing. 1 Year less it then it took me to get diamond, master and grandmaster ranks.
You absolutely can climb out of gold really easy if you main a tank or a support in those ranks and are good with them. To remain at gold nearly every season for 4 years is not an elo thing, here are some characters to easily climb out of gold with.
Alarak
Yrel
Stukov
Diablo
Arthas (who you have a nice win rate with)
Hyperion Raynor
Thrall
E.T.C
Jaina
Garrosh
Ana
Leoric
Anub'arak
Zeratul
Hanzo
Malthael
Dehaka
Tyrande once you learn how to follow up stun on slows/stuns from your team
