5 games in a row now I’ve been playing main healer ( mostly moira ) and so far all I’ve seen is a lack of common sense.
3 teammates dead
“Let me blade into the enemy team. WTF I died!? Where is my team!?”
Me :We’ve lost too many players just group up.
winston dies
Me : Come on stop trickling in and dying 1v6 just group up
Hanzo dies
Me : What do you hope to achieve by 1v6’ing the entire enemy team
Rein rushes in and tries to shatter enemy team … And then dies
Defeat
I don’t understand what goes through the mind of some of these players. I’ve been on the border of diamond for nearly 5 hours now because nobody is willing to group.
I’ve also been blocked and reported for voice line spamming for using the “group up” voice line.
I just don’t know what to do. These people are everywhere…
What someone once mentioned in a video was that Overwatch attracts too many casuals players that get into competitive without a competitive attitude. This ruins the experience.
i was 4k earlier this season, now im like 3450. Match quality has just been terrible here. It wasn’t that bad between like 3700 and 4k but below that its just bad. Like every game im actually asking my team mates in my head “stop feeding stop feeding stop feeding” Kinda just feels like this happens every game for either team.
Pretty much, in the last week ( i play a lot) All of my losses have had gold objective time as 0 seconds (we literally did not contest), and all of my wins have been a really high objective time since the enemy team didnt contest.
Like i dont understand whats going on, 0 even/close games in the last week or so.
And like im a support player right, if my team is afk waiting to group up then thats what i have to do. Yesterday in my first game of the day we lost first fight, and the enemy team went to our spawn. We spent approximately 40 seconds walking out of spawn to out death… i was just waiting to regroup pocketing people from inside the spawn.
You still can rank up higher. Tough skin is needed for any role. I didn’t start getting good with Mercy and Lucio until I said “f my team, I know what’s best” and got flamed and reported
Reports and rage seemed to fuel my St gains. Or it’s just a better way to rank up
Playing support , this is so painful. I’ve done the same. And I’ll be saying in chat “I’m not dropping my stats because you don’t want to group up” while rein is spawning in and my reaper is flaming me from across the map
Try being the tank actually trying. You get all the blame and yet people don’t even know you’re there lol, as they walk straight past you to 1v6, not getting the hint.
You can’t blame players for not knowing how to play the game, when Blizzard never told them how.
Think about this; there’s no introduction to playing Overwatch, at all, despite the fact that there’s clearly a way of playing the game, that’s both more fun and effective, then others. Basic stuff, like grouping up, waiting for your team, making an effective team comp, and so on. The majority of players don’t know this, they just walked into the game oblivious, and are continuing to play it this way. Don’t blame the player, blame the game.
It wouldn’t even take a long time to do, you could just make a short video with a voice-over (it could even be Soldier 76 or McCree), who explains everything. Force new players to watch it, the moment they hit level 25, or ells they won’t be able to play competitive.
they show you how ults work, soldiers abilities, and a very small amount about how objectives work, yet nothing about how you should group up with teammates.
