I wouldn’t worry, op. The game is absolute trash, the only few players left playing it are losers on their 5th account messing around in lower ranks just for kicks.

The ranks mean absolutely nothing any more.

All that matters is blizzard trying to force an even match, so it doesn’t matter how you play, you’re not ranking up and will get to play with a never ending stream of horrible teammates or against smurfs.

OW is dead.

Possibly in the course of multi quoting people. Where?
Oh and your continued use of logical fallacies shows you are unable to discuss any points made. Mental midgets like yourself are easy to toy with, you embarrass yourself more than anyone else could. Sad and pathetic.

Not my fault you don’t know what either of those words. Is there something lower than remedial classes you can enroll in?

Yet again making excuses. You’re a literal Silver because you lack understanding in the game. I keep telling you that supports have as much impact as any other role, you’re just being lazy.

English isnt my first language, I hope you’re happy with that. Though I’m pretty sure school hasn’t failed me when I have a stable job and a masters degree. But oh well, Silver dude on the internet over here is trying to lecture me on how to live my live.

How can I be making excuses when nothing ive said is conducive to excuses being made? Further, what “Excuses” have I made before this to the point where you said “still”, go on quote me please. I’ll wait.

My rank or anyones rank has nothing to do with what i’ve said, not surprising you and your ilk don’t comprehend and can only resort to logical fallacies. If I were a top 500 player what I’ve said would still be the same, you cannot provide a solid rebuttal for anything so you’re holding on to my rank for dear life and that’s pathetic. You’d think with your masters degree you would know not to make those since stuff like that is taught in English elementary schools. The the schools in your country must be low quality that your masters doesnt mean a thing, I guess they give those out to anyone in your country since you’re getting verbally battered by a lowly Silver haha.

You keep “telling me” but what your saying is completely imbecilic. Again, on equal footing a tank and dps can carry more than a support of the same level. Not that a healer can’t carry, I never said they cant, just a tank and dps can carry more so lesser teammates will affect supports more than they affect dps or tanks.

I gave many practical, in game examples how that works but those are conveniently avoided and we all know why, sad and pathetic. So keep embarrassing yourself, you’re doing a better job than anyone else can.

this is how a mental meltdown looks like. and i thought i was a hypocrite :joy:

This is what not being able to refute anything someone says so you have to run away scared, clutch pearls, and resort to logical fallacies looks like. Embarrassing.

I dearly hope this is meant as an emphasis…

It only applies to OW, or Overwatch, not my entire life.

Interesting… so you feel like your self worth as an individual is tied to an arbitrary online ranking system.

Anyways, I climbed out of gold 7-8 times now, some because of losing streaks and some because I’m learning a new hero or something.

It presents its own set of challenges but it’s fun. When a life throws a curb ball just go with it and enjoy it, or just move on

It’s technically true.
The OW game supposedly takes your stats and compares your Hero to other Hero stats in similar games. So if in a Similar game the Hero is using Aimbot, he’s going to aim better and make your skill look less good. (unknown performance metric stats only under 3k) Which brings me to my next point, the reason that games are no longer counted if a hacker is found, to remove those stats from the pool of non cheating players. Just my theory. None of this confirmed.

If it helps, I fully sympathize. And I mean it. Had a mini-stroke. Lost vision in my right eye for about 5 hours. And even though the docs said there shouldn’t be any lasting damage, I feel slower and less responsive. You bet it’s eating at me.

I dropped from high Diamond/Low Masters to Gold around the time 2-2-2 came out, and slightly after. Keep trying. I’m slowly climbing back up, and am feeling a little more like myself.

Dude, look at your rank:) It is Silver… The person who politely explained to you how you surely CAN carry as Support was T500
Maybe you should think about calling someone names and insulting sb…have some respect bro
For me you seem quite like a whiny kid, maybe if you‘d open your crybaby-eyes you‘d realize that we all have things to improve ingame, and that all roles can shine if played correctly! Grow up dude

I generally get the feeling that it is still a bit better to queue with a tank/dps together as support, it really helped me to climb:)

I lost all my placements too and went from Diamond to 2900. I was so mad because the losses were literally not my fault (at least not in-game :confused: ) because I queued with someone who I didn’t know was going to throw for two games, solo-queued for one and was utterly destroyed by what felt like a Bronze V GM game, then queued with the thrower again in hopes that he wouldn’t throw (He literally told me that “trying makes me want to kms”…)…and THEN I solo-queued the last game and someone threw the game by switching to useless Torb when we were WINNING…

Being a Support main sucks sometimes. But luckily I’ve played 2 games after my placements and won both of them, but only yesterday my computer BROKE so I have to wait for a new one before I can continue…RIP.

UGH THIS SO MUCH

I have people try to dispute that claim, but I’m sorry…it’s just so true.

I’m right there with you.

I’ve been playing since launch on Xbox and for the first 12 or so seasons of Competitive I was consistently Platinum. Made Diamond once. And I was fine with that.

But of late the game has deemed that I’m now a low Gold player for all three roles. I managed to get back to Platinum briefly during Role Queue Beta with Sigma, but was back in Gold the subsequent season and have placed Gold again this season.

It’s beyond frustrating and a bit upsetting as well. Sigma was a saving grace for me as he’s so fun to play but with his upcoming nerf it might be time for me to say farewell to Overwatch once and for all.

I still love the characters and the concept but the game deciding I’m somehow worse now than when I started is just about the last straw.

High chance you are not worse than when you started, but did you ever stop to think that others are not worse either? Everyone improves, if you improve slower than others you will derank, doesent mean you get worse.

did you ever stop to think that the massive rule changes to the game haven’t been accounted for by the match maker and that this VERY PAINFULLY obvious fact is what is causing the game issues we’re all currently suffering from?

no?

well then let me blow up your logic.

you’re suggesting everyone else has improved over time, yet, at the same time suggesting that this player who has also been playing along side these folks has failed to improve at roughly the same rate … as the people around him?

the stupidity of that argument is … its cute. the player is telling you he’s been at roughly the same rank for many seasons. then ALL THE SUDDEN everyone around him magically got better … completely discounting the new rule changes.

you win the daft award for sure.

What rule change? Do you mean 2-2-2?

Yes thats normal. Different people improve different rates. Some takes 200lvls to plat, some takes 600lvls, some never reach plat. Is that so hard to understand? Like if everyone would improve at same rate then you would see only high lvl ppl in high ratings and there werent ppl who are high lvl stuck in low ranks.

So the guy was in plat for 12 seasons, then the guy dropped to gold in like 4 seasons? You realize the guy said :
“I’ve been playing since launch”

And you realize that there were more than 12 seasons before role Q? Right? Or are you mentally handicapped? All the sudden in 4 seasons, like nearly a year :smiley: Such a small time. You should have prolly used “instantly” instead all the sudden because nearly year is such a short time period.

… and you called me dense. yes, the rule change that dramatically changed the game. the rule change that is causing the tank apocalypse. the rule change causing hundreds of threads and streamers to notice how poor the game to game consistency is … yes that ‘little’ change.

no, its not normal. you’re mentioning a different scale for ‘rising’ to a level many of us are trying to understand why only recently we’re inexplicably falling in rank despite our stats not changing. “because everyone around you is getting better” is not a valid assumption. people don’t get worse in general without some health issue or technical issue. it doesn’t happen, you don’t get worse as you play more and if you play alot, you’re playing with these people that you’re claiming are improving … yet simultaneously you’re claim is these people are NOT also improving despite playing with this supposed rising sea level of talent.

your argument makes no sense. further, you’re hiding your profile. what are you scared of? you’re good right? prove it.

neither the OP nor the guy you quoted said anything about 4 seasons. you’re asusming this time period because that is what you do … assume. you must do this to justify the stupid arguments you’re making otherwise they just don’t track logically. your dumb brain needs to make up the reality in which your arguments fit … then you block out everything else that doesn’t fit.

its an amazing feat really, you should be studied.
