But the game is making me so angry now… And I cant leave games to alleviate that anger… I just have to sit there and be the punching back to players that are so far above my level.
I dont know what to do … You will say take a break… or dont play … but that’s just it… I want to play so taking a break just means the people that are so far above my level get to play and I dont … That just make me more sad/frustrated.
I use to leave and find balanced games (win or lose). I would even say GG after I lost a bunch as long as there was give and take and it was fun.
what game mode are you playing? if its competetive, then stop playing that and go for some QP, heck even play custom games, some of them are better than the game itself.
what role? tank? if its tank, then resort to DPS or support. if you dont play that miserable tank role, and still struggle, then try different heroes, thats how i find fun in this game
If you can’t play fair, then you shouldn’t be playing at all.
You’re getting mad as a result of hindrances standing in the way of committing unfair actions.
It really feels like you’re on the cusp of figuring out that these changes were directed at you, but are simultaneously unable to accept the reality that you are the problem the leaver penalty addresses.
Yes work around it.
I used to think that getting T500 players and GM’s in my matches as a plat in OW1 was unfair, until I worked around them and got better.
Overwatch is inherently toxic in it’s game and hero design. Sometimes you get killed fair and square, sometimes it feels that the universe works against you. And you really can’t get better after some point unless you have a professional’s mindset. If you are looking for fun and relaxation, getting better isn’t what you should be looking for.
It is the dev team’s responsibility to make the game enjoyable even when losing. They are just not good at designing and balancing heroes. I’m not saying I’d do a better job, or it is an easy task but they just don’t care.
Pickup an easier hero that you can cheese. If you’re on DPS something like Mei or Reaper. For Support there’s tons that.
Play exclusively support, although your queue times might be too long to bear, but at least there’s never a hopeless moment for support. If you’re getting stomped in base it’s never your fault so no pressure from that
But honestly? Maybe try looking at other games at this point
That is the nature of PvP games, one side will always be winning. Your goal as a team is to counter the winning side, which they are unable to do with a leaver.
And how else do you become better? If you are facing players that are more skilled than you then it is a perfect opportunity to learn form them so you may match their skill level.
You are not going to learn anything by leaving every time you face a player that is better than you.
Thats just it … There is no other game like this … I tried playing an MMO but that was just on rails and money grabbing worse than overwatch … EVERYTHING is behind a pay wall in MMOs
