Okay I’m going to be real with you. I was seriously about to quit Overwatch when Briggy was released. Why? Nothing against her personally, I love Briggy, but the stun meta was so damn frustrating and a lot of healers hadn’t figured out just how much healing economy you have to dump into Reinhardt for the deathball to work.
I solo queued most of the time, and the random chaoticness of the match maker made me really hate playing Rein, because I felt like I was at the mercy of getting lucky having a team that understood how to keep Rein alive (i.e. Zarya bubbles / healing / Armor)
Ask my buddy/coach Fragehardt, I was very close to quitting the game entirely, but then I remembered something from my Leadership Academy back in my college days. CREATE THE SOLUTION.
So I did, I got on these forums and made this thread:
And now, I play regularly with a team of plat players (some gold) and we have an absolute BLAST!!! I haven’t had this much fun playing Overwatch ever!
What is great about these new friends, is they make me want to play. They push me to be better, and encourage my light hearted respectful leadership as a tank main. I’m absolutely grateful they entered into my gaming life. They seriously make my time playing A MILLION times better.
I wish I had the words to express how grateful I am to have them as gaming buddies.
TL;DR
Best advice I give is find some cool people to play with. Overwatch becomes instantly more fun and rewarding playing with a team of friends.
