Another rant to drown in the masses.
Alright so I’m a former Master player, stopped playing because I was sick and tired of the community being, frankly, toxic a-holes. Now I’m back mostly playing for fun, and I’m now down in plat. Had a few “off” seasons where I didn’t try my hardest and fell down about a thousand points. (arguably I deserve being here now becuase of this but hear me out)
Now I’m in mid plat, and man, I thought I had seen the worst of it all when I was with arrogant douchebags in Master, but the overall stupidity of the players in plat manages to surpass even that in terms of frustration. People picking Genji vs 4 tanks, Pharahs vs triple hitscans, staying on Bastion vs Junkrat in attack even after dying for the 23rd time, at the same spot, in the same way. (it was becuase he didn’t get any healing btw)
See- I’m a flex player, I can confidently play ANY character well but I main DPS. But no amount of flexing can help a team with 4 bad picks. Games I get 64 elims, the MVP card for 80%+ time on fire and 20k+dmg I still lose. (and I’d get verbal acid thrown my way becuase “You’re not killing anything, give me DPS”)
I know I’m in plat and the skill level people are at are way lower than mine, but jesus f-cking christ, don’t focus the Rein when you play Winston. What frustrates me the most is the simplest things getting looked over or just flat out ignored. “I don’t care if I’ve died 9 times to this monkey in 3 minutes, Genji is the best pick”
Ofc I have off games where I’m not performing my best, but for crying out loud… sigh
“If you’re good you’ll climb” - As this remains true… it’s missing an asterix.

I’m not so sure about that one.

What exactly does being “former master” entitle you to?
You stopped trying, while everyone else were still improving, and you fell behind.
You want to get back up there? put the work in.
Not respecting your opponent means you will learn less from your deaths. I’d imagine this is probably one of your biggest problems at this point. Get off your high horse.

Okay I don’t think he said anything about wanting to get back up to masters. He said he’s playing for fun.

He sure does not seem pleased with his current bracket. And if he didn’t care, he wouldn’t title his post “former master player”.
Okay it’s annoying because you’re a former masters player, probably 4000. Now you just play for fun, got that.
What makes you think people about half your former SR would have any sense? You KNOW this and you still bring it on here like it’s something new.
Sigh
It’s just a dumb thread. It’s just yet another “My teammates are so stupid while I’m so good” thread.
Also OP, you’re not mid plat. You’re low plat.

I’m not by any means saying I’m entitled to anything.
“You stopped trying, while everyone else were still improving, and you fell behind.” doesn’t really make any sense. I’m in plat, and people in this rank have their specific skillrange.
What I’m saying is that I can clearly see the gap between them and me. I’m not looking down on my opponents, I was referring to my teammates not playing as a team and going with bad picks.
It’s alright if you wanna brag. Nobody is going to kill you. But were you not aware of the skill gap before Now? Like didn’t you pass through plat at some point? What exactly were you expecting to get? You could always hop down to bronze if you’re looking for more skill gaps
I believe this is the crux of your rant? So what is your point?
There may be a gap between them and current master players, but if you’re struggling so hard in that rank what makes you so confident that there’s actually a gap between them and you?
I don’t think you understand his thread. He’s not struggling. He’s doing better than them.
People are taking this so seriously, I said “Another rant to drown in the masses.”
I’m not in here to brag, I was here to rant out on teammates not synergizing or playing well.
I understand you clearly.
I just want to know why you’d think it wouldn’t go down the way you’re experiencing.
You can’t expect low tier players to play like high tier, so I’m wondering why you’re complaining like it’s something new.
Anyway that’s enough from me at this point
His stats tell an entirely different story. 43% winrate overall is performing better than plat players?
Exactly. Win rate is not the same as performance.
If your teammates are Sh-t, youll have a low win rate.
I don’t know, maybe he could carry if he wants to. I can’t speak for him on that.

But I’m telling you, Plat is better than Gold, silver and bronze.
You think plat is bad? Try exploring the abyss a little more.

You’ll find your answer in my original post.
What’s up with you man? Giving me alot of passive agressiveness for no reason.
“His stats tell an entirely different story. 43% winrate overall is performing better than plat players?” I’ve also explained that in my original post.
The whole point of my rant was that I am getting a consistent loop of teams not being able to play well together, and me at the same time trying not to be an a-hole in-game about it. I really dislike people instalocking DPS because they believe themselves entitled to that role, it’s awful.
That’s why I’m trying to flex and work around that, hence my frustration. I’d probably get out of it with ease if I’d play with a premade group and/or locking DPS every game but that’s not fun for anyone else. More often than not instalocking has backfired on me anyways because people are too stubborn to swap anyways.
So if you wouldn’t mind, lay off the bad attitude man. I’m not looking for attention or validation of my skill, if you believe me to fit in plat- so be it.
This was supposed to be a useless post of me ranting.

I have a problem with people who are at a certain rank thinking they are better than everyone around them in that rank. It annoys me. I’d believe you had a string of bad teams if it were like 10 games, but 85 games?
Yeah I get it’s frustrating, but the same garbage happens in every rank. The last game I played we had 4 dps players who all refused to switch and we got stomped. This was at 3700. Also, the other team deals with the same exact crap that you do. They’re also unorganized and dealing with arrogant dps mains who are underperforming.
Then stop trying to point out how much better you are than your teammates.
