Stop looking at stats as the only thing that matters? Or at least damage/healing numbers? Was just playing with a Soldier on DPS and he’s flaming me the ENTIRE game because I have half his damage. Because the flanking Tracer is DEFINITELY gonna have more damage than the Mercy and Kiriko pocketed Soldier who isn’t even being contested because she’s been drawing 3+ people’s attention with every engagement, right?
NUMBERS DO NOT MATTER. They never have and never will. Flankers will always have very low damage. One shots will always have very low damage. Utility Supports will always have power healing. Unless you understand what every character should be getting to be doing well, don’t say ANYTHING about someone’s stats.

People will always flame characters who mitigate damage through evasion. It’s nearly impossible to track and therefore they must be the problem.

PERIODT 
Not but I wish they knew this, like I"m tired of Zen getting flamed for having lower healing than our Ana, it would be concerning if that didn’t happen and people don’t seem to understand that in some of my lobbies lmao

Even if they did, who cares. Flaming people isn’t going to make them perform better. It just makes everyone involved miserable. I’d rather have a 0 damage DPS player than a toxic jerk who spends the whole game flaming someone. You guys ruin the whole experience for me.

Seems like that soldier didn’t know what he was reading.
Yes you should be doing damage. But a flankers job is to get those meaingful priority picks. You secure kills and scout for your team. S76 just sprays and prays.
My only advice for your current turmoil is look at the elimination count. If you were high in that stat then the S76 can go back to the books with his lame Soldier gameplay and mentality.
You did your job if your elimn count was good. He probably doesn’t notice that while he did the dps, you did all the pickoffs on the weak.
You both could work together, but it got to the point where you decided to argue. Even then if you disagree you’re both on the same side.
Carry his dumb butt to victory or how else can you consider yourself a good player by giving in so often.
Turn off chat it happens all the time if you play tracer or hanzo, cause half the hate is envy at you, they are thinking while I’m slaving on generic soldier this person is playing fun heroes like tracer hanzo, how dare they, do they think they are better than me
Most of the time it’s players on soldier.
It’s pure envy they do this in even if you are winning.
It’s because they have gerd.
It’s not worth dealing with all that.
There was one match were I got two one clips on their support and sniper in Illios first point right at the start and we capped, our soldier was like hey tracer you are being carried, cause I had like 800 dmg while he had 1.7 or something.
It’s not worth trying to make them understand.

They dont matter without some context anyways. But if one person is 1-8 while everyone else has 10+ elims and under 5 deaths…. Something wrong is happening with that person.
Funny thing is, I wouldve. But he swapped to Widow saying that if I was throwing he would too and never got a kill again. I might be good, but I’m not good enough to win a 4v5.
That’s true, but it’s also not what I’m talking about. Kills do matter. Damage/heals don’t.
Thats just the nature of the beast. Dumb soldier player is gonna be dumb. No point fighting against him as well as the other team.
It happens. All you can do is improve or try to adjust to him.
The choices are minimal since he wants to take control of the entire game and would rather fail at it to affect you. So then from there it just becomes do your best and practice a little.

That’s true. It just sucks to get people like that who don’t understand stats. They shouldn’t be in the game.
i mean… is there any official reliable stats source that isn’t OWL stats?
i know what overbuff is but i ain’t sure if it’s reliable enough ( at least i heard people saying it isn’t )
We need healing received section to stop support arguing. Since stats are not gonna go away, might as well have that.

I’m talking about in game. Damage and healing stats.
turning off chat is asking to lose, this game is so dependent on teamwork. you need to be able to comm. thats why toxicity in a game like this is so harmful
Stats matter to a certain extent. If you dont have decent elims or assists, are you really being fair to your team for being selfish?

Saaame bro.
They are so much more in your face.
Like high ranked players can punish that but these S76s are just bullies and the buffs allow them to really turn a sweaty match salty real quickly.

It’s always Soldier players istg
I didn’t want to throw shade at any specific people, but looking back it’s always been Soldier players that do this.
Are you asking the OW community to be civil? That’s a good one!
No matter what someone will flame you for something whether it be stats, skins, hero selection, lack of communication, or by watching you the entire match and judging every action you make.
