Heroes of the Storm Forums

I'm looking for some people that are high ranked that I can get in communication with. I would like advice, criticism or just let me know I'm bad. When I group with people now in quick match that are high ranked they always say "just doing my quests this is just for fun" and they really don't seem to have much interest in helping me out. I do not want somebody I can tag along with to get an easy ride to rank 1, however I'm not opposed to it! :D
My experience with this game has been good overall. I downloaded it as soon as I was able and played ever since. I have over 1k matches played and I win more than I lose! However in ranked I am getting very frustrated. I have wont 129 ranked matches and can't seem to advance. I recently made it to rank 20 then lost 7 in a row, the trend continues and now I'm rank 26. I'm aware that my skill might be holding me back but sometimes it's outside of my control. My goal is to win the matches that are in my control.
I know about guides and builds and all that. I watch A LOT of videos to try to help me out but it would still be nice to ask questions and see how its done at the top.
Thanks much for any help!
