Just came back to the game, did about 20-30 hours of practice asWrecking Ball and got quite good.
Went into comp placements today and my god its worse than QP.
People just DO NOT KNOW what they are doing, you have DPS blatantly ignoring a soldier/mercy on the high ground in favor of shooting at a shield.
Healer splaying Moira and chasing enemies across the map instead of actually healing,
Reinhardt’s that just go off solo and think they can 1v6 and spend most of their time ramming enemies, and themselves, off of edges leaving the team without a shield…
And worse of all. NOBODY USES VOICE COMS.
DONT PLAY RANKED UNLESS YOU ARE WILLING TO COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR TEAM
Something needs to change, Players should ne REQUIRED to prestige 1-2 times and have a basic understanding of how the game works before playing ranked.
Very disappointed in the current state of comp, its not fun, and its certainly not something I’ll continue to play until its fixed.
No they don’t, typically you will place roughly where you were last time you ranked. Even after a long break from the game (I didn’t play for 5 seasons) I still placed right about where I left off.
So, you haven’t played since before RQ was put in? That would mean your account had a soft reset (as did every other account at the release of RQ) and would put you smack in the middle of the ladder.
Have you tried coordinating with your team and farming ult to win team fights?
Having a long-term (in-game) plan is often key to victory.
Also, Ball has no synergy with any other tank. Oftentimes this can mean your team is exposed to dive and flankers. So do your thing and make space, but also make sure you aren’t leaving your team exposed. Keep in mind they can only push if they have you there to help them make space.
i had a bap yesterday have the awareness of a snail in diamond. Begged for healing as widow spamming i need healing while watching this dude rotate his camera in circles because he can’t see me… i had to RUN literally run after him for healing right behind him to then die by a random headshot… oh go get the HP pack right?? that’s not the point i shouldn’t have to grab it every time i need healing especially when almost the entire team was full, there was barely a push coming in even and he was high ground safe behind a wall.
I just laughed and left voice chat because i knew if i stayed i’d get upset… you literally can’t make some stuff up the teammates it throws you some times… it’s just yikes… and people are starting to finally wake up and realize how their weirdo Match maker works… and people are jumping to other games in flocks… like tanks can almost always hit diamond + right now just by even placing… there’s not many tank mains around and the healer que’s are starting to get more and more packed with dps queing them for faster que’s and dpsing almost exclusively… yet they wont touch open que… this game is just a mess in general. lmao
it has nothing to do with that, but when im 15hp asking for healing and i see them spin their entire screen around even in the vod where they cant look a little to the right it’s worrisome. i shouldnt have to always grapple out to a health pack especially when im playing a nice corner for them to heal me from what more do u want there? i don’t say anything to them… there’s no attitude there maybe i should stop having certain expectations i guess… idk but it isssss what it iss the quality of games has been getting worse and worse and if you deny it you’re lying to yourself.
They’ll eventually drift towards 3 DPS and 2 supports. And eventually all DPS and no supports. They’re clearly pushing the “hero shooter” style.
Ana will become a sniper hero like Widow.
Zen will probably stay as he is.
Lucio will probably do more damage.
Mercy will get a rifle as a primary fire and healing staff as a secondary.
Moira will probably stay pretty similar.
Baptity is exactly where we love him
and
well
Briggy will probably get reworked entirely…
Again…
Queue times for DPS will just go to infinity because playing solo-tank doesn’t sound appealing at all. I personally have no desire to solo-tank (which honestly doesn’t matter since I’m a DPS main).
I mean… If you’re even a 1/16th decent Widow player, you position yourself within safety net of your team and a health pack (for emergencies). Maybe that just how I view the game I guess…
Seems like you tilt easily… I’m happy we’ve never crossed paths in-game. I don’t like toxicity.
If I’m lying I’m flying (and my feet are firmly planted on the ground).
I guess its the “magic” of the match maker. Sometimes you get good games, sometimes you don’t. People play the game for fun (even in higher ranks).
And people get boosted by their friends who are better players because (tHeYRe DeSeRvE tO bE a HiGhEr RaNk)…
how is laughing to myself and leaving chat tilting it’s leaving the situation before i do tilt or get upset or what have you.
you must be joking if you don’t believe people get boosted all the time there’s literally people on multiple sites openly selling boosts, discords and even past streamers who would pay for them you act like this stuff doesn’t happen and people aren’t being carried way out of their ranks by other players or friends they know. #ELMO lol…
and i was lol… did you not read my explanation of my positioning till i just decided to walk up to them to just show them where i was, yes i probably should have ran and used my grapple to low ground to grab the small hp pack then runn back up to also get probably hs or not healed while still not being at full .
You can try and crap talk with the whole “I mean… If you’re even a 1/16th decent Widow player” all you want doesn’t make you’re argument more valid than mine but you can try.
we can openly view it differently i don’t care.
people need to learn having a opinion or a differing opinion doesn’t mean someone is tilted or wrong I’m not raging, yelling at someone, freaking out on anyone, or even like getting in a bad mood. if i expect certain things out of other players its because i expect them to be able to play at a certain level so i assume everyone’s a decent player till i see stuff that is just suss and if i see myself possibly getting frustrated or upset i leave chats. I’ve been cussed out told to kill myself, called worthless and trash yesh the person who chuckles to himself and leaves chat is tilted…
not to mention some of the weird people in the community that get on thrower discords to get paid off of people’s losses… that’s not even part of the conversation but good lord that’s sad that’s actually a thing lmao.
this game is just a mess in general. lmao
there’s no attitude there maybe i should stop having certain expectations i guess… idk but it isssss what it iss the quality of games has been getting worse and worse and if you deny it you’re lying to yourself.
