Being chill is being calm… so it is 100% true.
Unfortunately “the grind” you speak of is 100% decided by Blizzard. I’ve grinded out of ranks only to get stuck in the same spot over and over, on multiple alts. I know this game isn’t for fun, no game I play competitively is for fun I push myself to do my best in every comp game and this (OW) is the only game I cannot successfully climb in. Before the “well it’s obviously a skill issue” it isn’t. I can out perform my team and the enemy team and still it won’t make a difference. Win 5 games you automatically WILL lose 5 games. I’d rather go to a Casino and Gamble because I know the odds-used to work at one, better than I know when I’ll rank up in this terrible matchmaking system.
But I digress, it’s important not to think too critically! don’t hold the ult because it’ll be a waste, just toss it! You will gain another one quickly if you play well so don’t hold it like you’ll never get another one, same with abilities, it’s often better to be early than late-Lamp, Suzu etc.
I won’t stop playing tho, not yet at least I bet there will be a day I quit for good, just not now!
