After playing this game from launch, I have finally deleted it. It’s been fun, and this game has probably been the most influential to me in my life. I have loved this game since day one, but after three years, I think of it as more of a chore to play. The competitive side of this game literally drives me into states of rage like no other. It is impossible to make a competitive style game based around rank when other people have more influence on your rank than you do. Nothing is more infuriating than losing 3 games in a row and losing nearly 4X as much SR as you would have gained if you won those games. The community is toxic and painful to hear at times, as it is more than common to say that you hate the game, but when you don’t have a solution for a specific problem, you are hounded for simply speaking out. It is ridiculous and I hope that one day the devs can fix the competitive system of the game and I hope that the community will become less aggresive and toxic.
You’ve been playing for almost 4 years? That’s a pretty damned good ROI.
See you in a few months.
Won’t happen, that goofy endorsement system was supposed to curb some of that, but once the game was learned, it picked up where it left off and got worse. This game encourages toxic players IMO.
I guess this is why hacks are so attractive, which just further compounds the problem for legit players.
the truth
I hope you find a good community; games shouldn’t be a chore, and leaving is the healthy thing to do if all it brings is salt.
Try losing an upward of 15 games in a row, and yet I still play. The game has nothing to do for why you’re “leaving”. You’re just feeling entitled to victories. It’s a game, no one owes you anything. They have repeatedly said comp was a mistake on their part for adding. However it’s been in the game for too long and they’ll get too much flak from people if it’s removed. As well as it’s the only way for them to get money from the Esports area.
I won 8 times in 3v3 with a normal 60% win-rate, but then I lost 10 matches in a row.
My team always insta-died on the frontline (I was playing tank and nobody was using my shield in those matches). Wtf?
Am I supposed to hard-carry bronzers out of the blue?
This rigged matchmaking is stealing my time.
OP did something I’m currently unable to do.
Just because you can tolerate 15+ losses in a row, doesn’t mean other peple can, nor does it mean it’s something fun to experience. I don’t believe he’s feeling “entitled” to victories, but rather frustrated by the fact that you lose more than you gain when you get into large lossing streaks like that. That’s a normal reaction.
The game can be a sh**show - actually it is a lot of the time. (I mean just look @ CTF Blitz theres a 50% chance you get put into an already going game, with the only small mercy being that it tends to be over quickly).
Leaving the game because your getting frustrated, unhappy, and aren’t enjoying yourself is the healthy thing to do. Sure, games don’t owe us anything, but they are meant to be fun, things we do in our free time - and when a game stops doing that for us, it’s time to move on.
