I used to have fun, I used to enjoy this game. But I am worthless. I can’t win a single game, everyone insults me. People using game chat just talk crap and put you down. All I do is lose again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, over and over and over and over and over. I can’t do anything I can’t win and everyone just puts me down. Am I truly awful or something? Did I do something to you people? Everyone is so cruel and hurtful and I hate it. What do you people want? I just wanted to play this game to have fun but all you do is put everyone down. Why? Is it because my aim is crap? Is it because I can’t position? What is it? What have I done so bad to be put down. To be treated like crap. This game and it’s community treats people like dirt and it disgusts me. Nothing but false positivity but the moment you don’t do good everyone treats you awful. I honestly don’t know if I want to keep playing. Especially if every game I play is against Top 500 and Grandmaster players destroying me every time. What am I supposed to do? Am I supposed to enjoy losing over and over? Am I supposed to have fun having teammates constantly not helping? What? What am I supposed to do. What can I do? All I can do is vent my frustration knowing it’ll probably fall on deaf ears? I just hate this so much man. I wanted to love this game but again and again I’m put down. Just damn it all.
Keep chat and voice off. Play the heroes you like.
There is no community in game unless you bring your own.
This is what happens when people are forced into silence.
Turn off your chat.
What’s the point. Chat is pointless. I’m a complete loser. Can even win. I just lose and lose. Am I supposed to be happy losing over and over in one sided games. I feel like a failure. Is the secret is I’m supposed to lose? And I supposed to keep having Godlike opponents who utterly crush me over and over? Is that it? Lose to win? Losing so many games in a row is making me feel like it’s my fault. No matter how much I try it doesn’t matter.
I feel that way in Mahvel. I peaked top 2.5% as Spiderman and ever since it has all been downhill. I have a 30% winrate as Blade last season and the same as Daredevil. I cannot even get to diamond. I am literally stuck in platinum 1 or 2 despite losing almost every game. It is exhausting and I had to turn off chat. Most of my wins are from Thor and Hulk. And even then, I farm SVP and still come up short half the time. I totally get it. I feel useless too.
In this game, I am doing extremely well. Probably because I am having more fun. To that end, maybe you will enjoy a fresh start Mahvel if you wanted to try that? I did REALLY bad in Overwatch when I preferred that game. It is all about your attitude.
Me too, buddy. There is something in the water.
I feel like this thread is about something completely different than what the text says ![]()
Dude, it’s not worth it. Better to leave this game if it’s affecting your mental health so badly.
Find out what you like about Overwatch and find other games with similar qualities.
Stay in the forums we are nicer
disable game chat and voice if it irritates you.
If you lose so much try watching a hero guide on YouTube. This helped me win games.
Losing and not learning or trying something new will just lead to the same results.
What role(s) are you playing? What modes? Are you stuck on a losing streak? Maybe try some Arcade modes? ![]()
If you need a friend to play with, I always volunteer my services, I’ve been playing this game since 2016 so I’ve gotten over my salted outlook and just kinda chill as support lately, I’m always willing to duo with someone who needs a positive companion who also happens to be a support. Just send an invite, I’m usually on and am always willing to hang out, maybe my dumb jokes will bring some levity even if we lose.
I appreciate the thought. But that won’t be necessary.
Good morning,
I’m going to give it to you straight. It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t. Most people I’ve noticed that go around giving people hell online either have really severe self esteem issues or they just don’t have anything going on in their lives that’s worth anything. If I was like that I’d be pretty angry too, or depressed, or possibly a mixture of both. While it’s important to work with your team, in the grand scheme of things, what they say doesn’t matter. These are just random people that you will see once, maybe twice given how small the player pool is and that’s it. These are not people that you’re going to celebrate your life with, share those moments, ya know? Frankly, people are way too comfortable disrespecting people over the internet and it shows.
Overall you need to stop letting people dictate your worth. If they don’t want to have worth, that’s fine. They can be miserable on their own. Your job in this life is to do the best you can and to be satisfied with yourself. You can’t find that deferring out to other people when all they want to do is be miserable. Everyone in the game behaves like they’re a pro gamer and quite a few on the forums believe they are armchair experts. Most are full of it. Self pity is a poison that doesn’t belong in your life. Ok, so you say that you’re bad. Very good, you’re astute enough to recognize the issue. The question is what’s being done about it? Are you trying out new characters? Are you practicing? What are you doing to get to what you perceive as better? Because if you’re doing nothing then I honestly don’t see the point of complaining.
Go to practice or QP and blow off some steam. Take time out to try out new characters. Turn off the chats. Stop wallowing in your own self pity. The rest will follow.
I was never good at anything a day in my life. I only got better when I stopped wallowing in BS and put in the work. Greatness isn’t given, it’s made.
I’m always around if you decide to jump back into it! I’d definitely say take some time to yourself and come back to it at a later time.
You must be new to Overwatch, because you’re playing the wrong game the real title is “Blamewatch 2.”
Here’s how it works: the objective isn’t to win the match… it’s to win the postmatch arguments.
Step 1: Start with the tank. Always.
If the team’s losing, instantly type “tank diff” “gg no tank” in chat bonus points if you do it while dead. Tanks are the universal scapegoat, and nothing unites a team like collectively roasting the poor Reinhardt who’s trying his best.
Step 2: If you’re the tank and know you’re feeding? Easy fix scream “gg no heals”, before they can complain about you first! This triggers the sacred domino effect: the supports will respond, “Can’t heal if we’re being backlined!”
Then DPS will jump in with “Maybe healers should position better,” and just like that, the cat is off of your back and the team fight moves from the payload to the chat.
Step 3: Not your kind of fun? Don’t worry, there’s the advanced meta: install soft or hard hacks to make it look like you have godtier aim. Once you’re deleting people through walls, ridicule everyone else for not having “skills” just like half the playerbase does already.
And there you have it. You thought Overwatch 2 was about pushing objectives and teamwork? Nope. It’s a glorious circus of blame, ego, and salt and honestly, that’s what makes it beautiful.
Please do not put yourself down like that over a game. The game itself isn’t that good, the match maker sucks, the community sucks, and over all the game is sucking.
You can’t talk, you can’t express anything, you can’t pick certain heroes without getting flamed.
But again, please don’t think of yourself as a loser, worthless, etc. It’s a slippery slope down into idealizations that I do not wish on anyone.
That’s debatable. The smaller presence of moderation is nice though.
The closest to a fair match that exists is 6v6 OQ because it’s mostly old school OW1 players that are in there and matches unfold as they should.
Every other game mode is polluted with smurfs, groups, cheaters, throwers, and impossible matchmaking due to role assignments. All of those issues are diluted when it’s OQ and players can adjust strategy by picking across any role.
Turn off game chat…problem solved
I stay bewildered at how you people get bullied by remote weirdos when the tools exist to ignore them
At this point I think this is just attention seeking
The people acting like
hats in chat are only a small amount of the people who play this game.
Unfortunately they are the gobbiest section of the people who play this game. Turn off all chat and just vibe instead. No one is saying anything worthwhile in comms.
The matchmaker, especially in QP, is FUBAR right now. I also keep getting games where it is just a meat grinder. It is definitely not an uplifting or even a fun experience. It is miserable.
Finally, and I’m sure you have heard this before: you are REALLY harsh on yourself. This stupid game is not a reflection of your worth in any measurable metric. I’d rather play with 100 terrible players with who were fun to play with, than one t500 who also has the personality of an open sewer.
