How do I start this without it being a ego post… Ya know what screw it Im good I know Im good but am I only like Diamond 3 “Good” tbh I’m perfectly fine being diamond 3 diamonds the rank I wanted to make it to ever since I started OW. It “Looks” like I can climb more I’ve been having very good winning streaks and stuff (I am one of the best Lifeweavers in existence after all), but I don’t know, not sure if I should stop while Im ahead? Keep going or what I should do. I’ve already peaked masters once wasn’t even expecting that. Do I go again? Stop here? I have no idea.
I usually speak against trying something at the end of the season.
If you do have fun playing comp, I will not stop you, though.

Cause like Im a shot caller right one thing I need is coms I can make the world freaking bow with my coms if you heard me on Brig earlier today youd think I was leading an army.
Now It’s end of season and Im like, what if no ones in there and just wants to “goof around” what if the tanks outta voice chat what if I get a doom 1 trick, Again.
If I switch off Lifeweaver cause my tean needs another support and my other support goes Weaver and just tries to go full healbot mode like what do I do that games a wash.
End of season it’s like just sooooo many things can go wrong man
Hell what if my teams just straight trash? Do I kill 5 as support every fight? Like hello? Matchmaker any help here?

It is your choice based on what you value. If you value the titles, sprays, and cosmetic weaponry then put in the time sink work despite the frustrations that come with playing rank.
I climbed the ranks with friends, had a ton of fun and have all the gold weapons for all my mains. My friends stopped playing and ranked solo, ain’t the same for me.
Especially after my IRL friends made it to Masters and GM letting me know you get the same bad players in the high elo as you do in the low elo.
I’ve never used any of my rank sprays, don’t remember any of my numbers from seasons pasts. Only thing I recall is I went undefeated one season with Symmetra.
Point of any game is to have fun. If you’re having fun and have goals for rank then keep doing what you are doing.
I don’t because I value a title like Grandmaster as much as I value a BP title like Stone Worker.
It’s up to you on why and how long you play rank. If that’s what you want, go for it. Ow 2 won’t be around forever.
Tbh I really just want bragging rights, cause my friend and a looot of other people question how I play Weavee even tho my methods work like thwy work very good, oh but will it work here tho and what about here and, the way I play Lifeweaver involves doing so many things that it’s not a matter of like why it’s a matter of how I do them and not getting myself killed and actually tracking cool downs and ultimates.
Like absolutely no one my friends people who think like Weaver can’t do this and that, especially after Dva meta which lowered my overall wins like I could of been masters by now if I had just pulled back. I’m thinking I should just show some overall restraint here that way that way if I do hit masters AGAIN as Weaver (and the other 3 horseman of mains I play) then no one can tell me anything.
I STILL HAVE A 53% OVERALL WIN RATE BTW! and it’s actually increasing to 54%!
But I constantly get people in game and just everywhere questioning how I play Weaver (when hes ya knkw actually good and Im not just forcing him to force him…
Which as long as its not a weaver counter meta like dva or Mauga I still end up positive!)
It’s just excuse after excuse, limit after limit.
I am satisfied tbh I’m where I want to be, but people are just gonna keep raising the bar on me over and over and over until I just “eventually” olay Weaver the exact same way as the people I consistently rip to shreds because he’s just this weak hero only meant for survival who poor little thing can’t do anything on his own and has to always wait till like the absolute perfect moment to even breath… All because they lost to that 1 lifegrip that 1 time when they were on Genji its so annoying.
Honestly it is just a ego thing at this point and wanting to “Prove them wrong” even tho tbh I am very happy with where im at now.
Tho tbh if I do wanna climb the best thing I can do is just block out all the voice and play how I normally do.
Which is a good rank, considering Master players are like 10-15% of the playerbase (at least before the game went F2P, maybe there are more people now, or maybe less ?).
I had more or less the same type of goal in OW1. I wanted to reach Diamond in Season 2 of Overwatch and I did (crazy hours to do so, back in late 2016 - Early 2017).
After reaching Master in S3 or S4 (can’t remember anymore), I spent the rest of the seasons being hardstuck at 3k6-3k7 (which I guess was Master 4 or Master 3 with current metric).
I managed to accidentally peak GM twice and clearly understood that I couldn’t climb more (lack of skill, I guess, and I had something close to “stage fright” in GM lobbies that made me lose confidence).
That is exactly at that moment that I started giving up Competitive on my main account (in 2018-2019). I played with some friends (premade of 6) from another account then I stopped playing Comp altogether.
I stopped having fun 'cause it was too repetitive. I tried Season 1 after the game went F2P but it didn’t feel “new” enough for me to start over and commit (I had the same rank as in 6v6, though).
QP is just fine now that there are leaver penalties so I don’t have to play 4v4 only like I did from 2020 to 2022, haha.
Anyway, if you keep having fun, keep playing Comp. There’s no inactivity rank decay, right ? So play at your own pace. I think 5-6 matches a week is enough.
If Comp is taking too much of your energy, keep your energy for Overwatch’s new project, that should be in the works soon. They know they can’t keep pushing Overwatch after its 10th anniversary. Blizzard will have to move on at some point (so do we).
Edit : The hard truth is that not every player can climb forever. If you feel like you’ve reached your limits, don’t be too hard on yourself. I feel like most players in this community can’t accept that after a certain rank, they can’t improve anymore.
it’s just like talent : not everyone is equally as talented.
