The biggest rookie ranked mistake: playing every agent. Below Platinum, three mastered agents beat twenty familiar ones.
Best picks per role
Duelist: Reyna for solo (self-sustain), Jett for ceiling. Controller: Brimstone’s map smokes. Initiator: Sova’s recon bolts. Sentinel: Killjoy for absolute beginners.
Economy wins ranks
Below Diamond, most players full-buy every round. Learn eco rounds and read both economies — that climbs faster than aim. A 30-day roadmap: two maps first, Range drills, and review one recorded loss daily.
