I am toxic and losing my mind in comp

Not for everyone, some people can deal with tilt. For example me. I dont really usualy bring tilt from game to game and I start new game as new experience.

What is this topic about is general feeling I have from whole game session when I stopped playing.

I can relate. Just played on Anubis.

Enemy tanks Sigma and Orisa. Enemy dps Junkrat and Bastion. Super sweaty defence comp.

One of our dps? Genji.

Yeah. We lost that…

The character imbalance in the game is so acute that if your dps play the super easy no skill high impact heroes you’ll likely win, whereas if they play throw picks like Genji you’ll likely lose.

What impact can I have as a tank when enemy Junkrat just presses ult and gets a triple kill with one button push?

Repeatedly as the dps sticks on Genji and gets off one dragon blade all round. Which gets one kill (rezzed) before he’s butchered.

Even the owl casters were commenting how crap Genji is now.

They’ve buffed and buffed no brain dps over and over again until they’re the only class that’s super high impact anymore.

You can have impact as a Zarya or Hog, but you need more mechanical skill to impact the match the same way as a not even half skilled broken dps toon.

But it is about tilt.
You being toxic has a good chance of tilting the 11 other ppl around you making them play worse hence leading to loss streaks etc.
Its not just about you in this team game

I am not toxic without reason. As i said i will reset myself basicly every game. I dont take my tilt from last match to new one. Me being toxic is usualy caused when others do very dumb things, act like idiots, making bad devision while not in voice chat, blaming others for no reason, leavers and similar stuff. OIts not me going toxic for no reason.

I would say that in the moment i am toxic, others are already tilted too :slight_smile:

… which was a bug that was then quickly fixed. Those GMs are now GM.

Think I’m done this season.

Played at a fair few varieties of sr tonight. From 1800 to 2450.

Makes me think that game dying on PS4. I’m 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 I’m used to so bit frantic for me, but in general managing gold heals and even one potg. So I’m not plat material yet, but I can certainly work on it.

The 1800 games? F*** me…

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 ā€œbalance up the teamsā€ the enemy team will also have a gold player.
Except they’ll go Reaper or Hog or Zarya and rip all my silver dps a new one.

Maybe that’s why I’m 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 won’t be anywhere near the tanks as they’ll all be feeding their brains out or going on mad flanks, leaving the Reaper to clean up.

There’s a bunch of crap about, ā€œIf 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 don’t give a crap anymore. They’ll just dive in 1v6. They’ll 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 don’t 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 you’re 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 don’t mind losing due to mistakes. But far too many games decided by whether team mates are throwing by feeding all game or playing heroes they’re just crap on or plain trolling.

Many games feel like an utter waste of time.

Game’s been out three years and people still feed 1v6 and go on mad flanks.

It’s bollocks.

Edit, found a great vid that’s now posted as it’s own topic.

Made me think about what I need to be doing as support to win more. Expanding hero pool is a big one.

How to Liberate Yourself from the Burden of Wanting a Higher SR: A step-by-step guide from yAbOi, Tactician

Sometimes I ask myself, do I want to be the best fisherman? And the answer is always no. Sometimes I ask myself do I want to be a better fisherman, and the answer is still always, no. Other times I ask myself, ā€œDo I want to be a better Overwatch player?ā€ And then I must ask myself, ā€œWell, what is Overwatch?ā€

Overwatch is a game where you don’t get to pick your teammates.
Overwatch is a game that has a hidden metric that determines rank.
Overwatch is a game without a scoreboard.
Overwatch is a videogame without a replay system built in (this is no longer the case)
Overwatch is a game where a plethora of things remain hidden.

So, ā€œDo I want to be the best blind-folded billiards player?ā€ No, no I don’t.

I want to be good at a game where you get to choose your teammates.
I want to be good at a game where I can look at and understand statistics and use that knowledge in future games.
I want to be good at a game where I can develop in depth strategies with trusted teammates and test those strategies in the heat of battle.
I want to be good at a game that has competitive integrity.

6v6 objective based hero shooters are awesome. But this type of game demands a myriad of tools which are not available to the public at large, and it leaves me frustrated.

So why would I want to get good at something I don’t enjoy. I will play Overwatch because I like 6v6 hero based shooters. I refuse to give Overwatch my all because I’m not interested in getting good at 6v6 hero bases shooters with strangers as my teammates.

If Overwatch wants my best, I want their best. There is no animosity. Just a realization that I don’t want to compete at the contest Overwatch has set before me.

Overwatch: Who is the best at navigating the chaotic rank ladder?

That is not a game I want to play with any zeal, nor am I interested in.

That’s how you free yourself from the burden of climbing. Ask yourself, ā€œWhat am I really trying to get better at?ā€

To climb in Overwatch, you have to navigate the chaos. And that’s something that I don’t really feel like putting any concerted effort towards.

Well have a good day and I hope you get a couple more SR :v:

Well, you’ve figured out your problem. Try a different game maybe? Spamming the forums isn’t going to convince the developers to transmogrify Overwatch into the button masher you seem to want.

i’m really surprised that you responded to that specific reply

Yeah this game is a crapshoot as healers. You have less of an impact than a Tank or DPS can have but they can totally screw you over. Crap teammates bring you down, ELO Hell is real for supporst because garbage tier teammates./

Idk man, its not that long when brig was meta and so damn op hero. Now there is moira who can get so much value in current meta even for less mechanical skilled players. I dont think support role has any disadvantage in climbing. Maybe certain heroes, but not support as role.

Know this feeling.

I play worse if I am on team chat for the most part.

I don’t name call but I do complain.

I’m a fairly aggro off-tank and I get annoyed when the main tank backs off when we can finish people off, or I put a bunch of people on 1 and there is no follow through from the DPS.

Same story with support, getting frustrated with DPS when they poke and die. I just end up mocking them now for their stupidity as it costs me my rank.

You get some people insisting people get on voice but trust me, I’m doing you a favor when I’m not there or on team chat…

Well thats the problem too, i am tilted when people are not joining voice chat often :slight_smile:

Anyone who is not joining team voice chat is sending me the signal that he doest care about the team and win. Some call outs are way too important and not being in voice is disadvantage.

I prefer toxic person who will occasionaly do good call out over someone not being in voice at all. Problem in eu is that people dont join voice chat that often which suck, and some use it only to be toxic.

I find pressing Z and game sense to be enough for the most part for ladder play.

If I start spamming Z as Zarya it means I will grav soon
=> I don’t know how it could be interpreted any other way.

If I am shooting in a direction none of the rest of the team is, it means there is a flanker there
=> I don’t see how it could be interpreted any other way.

If I spam ā€˜group up’ it means group up
=> I don’t see how it could be interpreted any other way.

What did we need voice comms for again in ladder?

X is what, asking for healing?

I will be honest with you, i prefer someone asking for healing in voice so i can see the icon of the hero on screen. I usualy dont notice people are asking for healing in chat by using x.

Voice will amplify any examples you gave. Its often not enough to noticed things if you dont use voice chat.

Sorry I meant Z, updated my post. Yes if I press x it means I need healing. Often a good idea to heal an ulting hog too…

I play a lot of support (particularly Ana) and if I’m not in voice comms and there’s a flanker messing with me, I tend to also use these methods you mentioned. I spam I need healing because people usually find themselves thinking ā€œwait… why would a healer need healing… oh!ā€ … the only problem is if I was in comms, the reaction time would majorly improve, which is why I’m in there, it’s just push to talk if I’m not feeling social.

Yeah exactly, voice chat will give you much more power than simple in game basic lines.

Anyway i am probably going to play more games tonight so wish me luck :smile:

i avoid teamchat at all costs. 99% of it is tilt, useless info, trashtalk and toxic bs.

i have a very good surround headset so iā€˜m actually paying attention to sounds around me. i need this info for locating enemies like reaper, widow or genji.

people making dumb callouts interrupt this ability.
