Anyway to restore the lost SR?

Thanks, that’s what I try to do! I get a lot of compliments usually and I mean I also average 20-40 elims a game, my best elim count is 51 so far.

Usually between 10-23k damage as well and a lot of times if I can get a mercy pocket in this elo it’s really easy to do just about anything, especially with damage boost. I’m not a huge fan of nano since everyone just runs from you, and doom’s cooldowns are so punishing.

But yeah thanks man, that’s what I try to do! But I feel like every team I play against has some group of smurfs, or my team just has no idea what to do.

Yesterday, I played on Volskaya and was able to coach the whole team to an easy win using a Sym teleporter on attack, but like before I started doing that tanks were just running in 1 by 1 directly into the choke, and being eaten alive by the bastion. I was just standing there watching it like REALLY GUYS?!

Yeah…Generally on attack for instance, I always flank I’ll punch my way around behind them, or hide on the side - and once I see the tanks start to engage as a group (key word, GROUP. lol. if they don’t group i just sit there and continually wait, or eventually go in and end up suiciding) and then I’ll dive the back line and punch out and keep repeating.

It usually works really well! But you have those times when the team just runs around, or Mei decides she’s going to be a hero and flanks all on her own :(.

Yes there is a way to get your sr back… by winning 15 match in a row.

Haha yes of course :). Just trying to avoid that.

I lost it due to a game crash, not a loss or anything. But I get it.

There is no way other than that. If you get your sr back then every leaver gets it back and sometimes it will just create a lot of boosted player. Like let say you disconnect a lot because of crash and get to a peak after like 2.9k. They give the sr back and you are now 3.2k, which you never achieved before and which is only a peak.

It’s better to go in together without a plan, then to go and do the optimal route, alone. Stop wasting energy on arguing in comms.

Based on what you described it sounds like you are having disconnection or high latency issues when trying to play Overwatch. Disconnections will result in match losses and the appropriate penalties. You are responsible for your connection and should avoid playing Competitive at the first sign of a disconnection or high latency. Blizzard is unable to restore any SR due to technical issues. You can read about their policy here:

Remember the time hamster could DC you from server? Remember how it took me 3 games to realize what was going on? Remember the 150SR you stole from me? Imagine if they had just posted a message like “Don’t play comp rn we released a bugged patch”. Nope took a full day to ban ball from comp. but it’s my fault because I should have known not to play because of server dc. It’s my fault.

Rip 150 hamster Sr :hamster:

PS: at 10sr an hour that’s 15 hours of my life. 225$ Before tax.

Nope, wasn’t high latency. I have a fiber connection and the internet never went out. It was most likely a piece of bad hardware, or a strange gaming bug. But it wasn’t a connection problem.
