Yep. Climbed all the way to 2800 earlier this month.
Now I’m back to 2400 because this matchmaking system doesn’t give a crap about how much I revise strategies and try and play to counter the enemies.
Just throwers, leavers, and what adds insult to injury is the stupid “mindset” excuse that my mindset “will only create more negativity.”
If I hear one person use the mindset excuse, I will immediately ignore that post.
Man I came in here looking for a good story of someone falling out of gold then climbing back in
Anyways, I feel like if you have leavers, you shouldn’t get a full punishment, it’s just horrible. Has anyone EVER won a 5v6? I know I’ve never
I’ve been in a game where we won a 4v6 xD
That might be the worse match making ever
If you had the other 2, that game sounds like it would of been a steam roll
Play a carry hero. In low ranks tracer is good along with Moira.
More forum posts about people blaming their team mates…
I have to wonder if you all play together…
Truth is buddy, you are the only constant involved with your SR.
Everyone else has an equal chance of having a one trick or a thrower on their team.
Your ability to climb is the same as everyone else’s.
I also have to point out, you’re complaining about gold but also saying “don’t give me the advice I have already ignored.”
Your mindset matters a lot.
Ill give you the classic “you win some you lose some” “If you deserve the SR you will get it back and climb.” Also would help to play meta heroes more often, winston isnt in a good spot if the enemy is running meta stuff like rein, zarya, hanzo.
I’d recommend not playing Winston, in comp anymore, with Brigitte being around.
With 5 hours you have a 62% win rate with Zarya which is pretty decent, try playing her a little more and you might climb a little more. If you’re going to DPS I’d recommend Pharah or Hanzo, Hanzo because he’s the current go to DPS and combo VERY well with Zarya, and Pharah because in lower ranks people generally have a harder time taking her out, and she’s good at taking out Brig.
I hardly ever play Winston anymore. Haven’t played him seriously for weeks.
Don’t use my stats to demonstrate how it is me who is solely in the wrong.
The mindset excuse of “only you have control of yourself” will not stop the problems that this system has.
Not looking at your stats to say that you’re wrong, I just saw that you had 16 hours with him. You still did well with him having over 50% win rate. I’d still like to recommend you try to play more Zarya.
While yes the system sucks sometimes, even then if you improve yourself you’ll still have better chances at winning despite the bad matchmaking or the bad teammates. You have no control over what the system or your teammates do, but you haven control over yourself. Really the only solution is to try to improve yourself.
Okay so if I work on that and improve my OWN play and get back to 2800 and then immediately drop back down to this rank again because of ridiculously bad players, are you just gonna say the same thing?
The answer is no.
Edit:
Guess how many times I got to high plat and then dropped.
the only thing you can do is get better, if your teammates are that bad you’re going to have to carry them. And perhaps you your self just had bad games. Everyone says it’s their teammate’s fault for being bad and it’s of course never my fault for losing. It’s always going to be the same, the ONLY thing you can do is improve yourself you’ll climb and you’ll fall, it’s not always your teammate that cause you to lose.
Same has happened to me, I had climbed to high plat and fell to low plat or even gold, but hey I’ve improved myself and I climbed to Diamond and getting better every day.
why didn’t you stop? the 50/50 “fair MM” was bound to screw you over. should have jumped over to QP so the loses happen there instead of in comp.
Oh God please don’t encourage voice line spamming.
“I’m #1 , I’m #1 , I’m #1 , I’m #1 , I’M #1!”
voiceline spamming is great
I’ve won one today, but you’re right. Not often enough to be statistically significant.
So if I have 3 DPS mains that don’t even know how to accurately hit more than half of their shots on a Roadhog, you expect me to just straight up carry them but filling in for their flaws?
Sorry. Not possible.
If every game that had a leaver on my team just gave you a random win or loss I would be diamond rank easy. Probably 30% of the games I play have a leaver. 15% of my losses are because of a leaver on my team
Here’s my opinion on the Matchmaking system in Overwatch:
I DONT LIKE IT.
now before you go and say “Shut up gay plat genji main ur whole family is all dumb and retarded just like you xd”, i have a couple points i would like to make.
Assuming, that you miraculously won one game and lost one after, constantly over and over again, you would notice that you still lose SR. Therefore, in order to break out of a certain rank you either have to be lucky or just 2x better than the rank you’re playing at.
How to fix it:
Make the win loss system a FIXED SYSTEM with an slow exponential increase in sr gained or lost for win streaks or losing streaks. This way, you can climb out of a rank more quickly if you’re just plain good, and you can drop out of a rank if you got lucky. This also deals with smurfs, as this system causes the smurfs to hit their intended rank much more quickly, and prevent them from playing in lower rank games and ruining games for those players.
They used to have that system of win and loss streaks but as far as I know they removed it.
