Think Iām done this season.
Played at a fair few varieties of sr tonight. From 1800 to 2450.
Makes me think that game dying on PS4. Iām even seeing familiar names on my team after a few days. Small player pool?
The 2450 games were great. I, or rather my team, won all three of them.
One of the games was a 2-0 100-0 stomp on Lijiang.
Fun games. I made lots of errors. Games faster than Iām used to so bit frantic for me, but in general managing gold heals and even one potg. So Iām not plat material yet, but I can certainly work on it.
The 1800 games? F*** meā¦
Just constant feeding by utterly idiot team mates. No grouping up.
Dog crap positioning, such as our Bastion trying to solo spawn camp enemy team. I have to massively over extend to keep him up.
What makes matters worse is that to ābalance up the teamsā the enemy team will also have a gold player.
Except theyāll go Reaper or Hog or Zarya and rip all my silver dps a new one.
Maybe thatās why Iām winning the 2450 games? Game is giving me better MMR players as my MMR dragging their team down.
Sure is helluva lot easier to play at 2450 than try to carry as support at 1800.
The dps wonāt be anywhere near the tanks as theyāll all be feeding their brains out or going on mad flanks, leaving the Reaper to clean up.
Thereās a bunch of crap about, āIf your team mates are bad, then so is the enemy teamā.
Generally true, but far easier to frag out Vs crap enemies than heal crap allies and try to frag out Vs the enemies with a lower damage kit.
Just see so much feeding in games lately.
People, particularly dps, just donāt give a crap anymore. Theyāll just dive in 1v6. Theyāll play Genji, do nothing but spam thank you in voice chat, get off one dragon blade (average kills 1 this season), then do dick all else.
They make barrier tanks irrelevant and they end up switching to off tanks to frag out as well.
So many games where off tanks getting the golds as the dps just feed and die.
I donāt mind being low rank per se.
But sad fact is that you need to be a certain level to get decent games.
At lower levels youāre at the mercy of your dps. Will they feed incessantly? Will they pick a no aim no brain carry dps like Junkrat or Mei, or throw by picking Genji or a Widow into double shields.
I donāt mind losing due to mistakes. But far too many games decided by whether team mates are throwing by feeding all game or playing heroes theyāre just crap on or plain trolling.
Many games feel like an utter waste of time.
Gameās been out three years and people still feed 1v6 and go on mad flanks.
Itās bollocks.
Edit, found a great vid thatās now posted as itās own topic.
Made me think about what I need to be doing as support to win more. Expanding hero pool is a big one.
