Honestly tho for those playing solo you should strive to be in the high 50s before trying to go by the meta, simply because 70% of the population is there, and they dont play by the meta or most of them even know what the meta looks like, there is no such thing as meta in the 50s average, you play what wins you games, stuff that in the higher % simply doesnt work so well, like Torbs/D.vas Hanzos etc.... There are plenty of amazing teams in the higher 50s % so in a way is harder to climb with a team then solo, cause with solo you can get lucky and win 70% of your matchs just based on skill values that vary a lot depending on the class you played on your placements and with teams you most of the time get organized ppl that play by the meta... I dont usually play solo but i did play a tiny bit of it the first 2 days of the patch, and i encountered the most ridiculous placements i have ever seen in my life. I literally at one point had a mercy on my team that just wanted POTG so she was waiting for the 5man rez, that never came and she never used her ult... Not a single time, making us lose numerous encounters....
but honestly expected worse after I solo queued and got paired up with disconnectors 3 times in a row. You can't really be expected to win when it's 3 vs 6.
