Hey guys, i’ve been having awful luck with solo que recently. As of right now i have 22 loses, 12 of which were in a row, and only 7 wins. I’ve lost close to 300 sr in only 2 days and have dropped into gold, which i havent been in since around season 4. Im starting to get tilted and ive pretty much lost all will to play the game anymore. Advice?

The horse crap of a matchmaking system never ceases to amaze me. You can play out of your mind and still lose if the system thinks you should be at a lower SR. Hate to break it to you, but once you drop, it’s very difficult to climb out of the hole. You gotta play tons of matches for it to level out.

Dont play when you’re on a losing streak. Just stop and come back later. Keep playing when you’re only losing and you’re going into the gambler’s fallacy. Every match is like a game where you try to win your sr, or money, back. You keep losing your money but keep on playing, because you hope you can take it all back but you won’t.

This exact thing happened to me. Specifically the getting tilted part, I usually now just get off of Overwatch after I lose a match of comp because of how frustrating it is.

There are numerous ways to avoid losing streaks, I’ll give you a few from the top of my head:
If you have a bad game with throwers or anything of the like, but still want to keep playing, wait a good 5 - 10 minutes so you don’t queue with them (won’t have to do this as much when the “avoid as teammate” feature goes live).
What heroes are you maining? Make sure to practice out of competitive with a diverse roster so that you can counter/synergize or adapt to enemy counters/synergies.
If you’re too frustrated by your losing streak to think straight in a match, you could only be making things worse if you continue playing.
MOST IMPORTANTLY
Take a break, maybe watch a VOD and try to pick out your own mistakes.
Doesn’t matter if you had scrub teammates or god enemies, the only thing you
can do is improve your own play. Record, review, and learn.

Solo q is always a gamble. I solo q’ed for a while and definitely lost more then I’ve won. Team up with two friends you can trust to have your back and can play multiple characters. But if you want to stick with solo q, after a couple of losses, take a break and regroup so you don’t get tilted and can come back fresh. Once you tilt, your game preformance will drop.

Just get another account.
It’s all a b.s. system man. Not an accurate representation of YOUR skill but an accurate representation of how LUCKY you are (or aren’t). SR = Luck rating

I’ve been playing for the last 3 days and my SR hasn’t changed. My wins are 20+ SR and losses around 10 SR. But with the crap teammates I get in matchmaking… I can’t even muster raising my SR.
There is nothing competitive about competitive mode, just a bunch of morons doing clueless things. Majority of my teammates have no idea what strengths and weaknesses heroes have and counters for them. Much less knowing they are getting countered to hell but keep on feeding.

You should go play Minecraft with guns. Go dab on a few kids then come back. It kinda helped me :).

Holy “darn” 12 matces in a row, i already quit for the day if i have 3 losses in a row.
My tip is to have some self restraint instead of forcing matches while on tilt.
Just so he could tilt on that account too and have a losing streak. What kind of trash advise is that, this dude just needs some self restraint and self reflection on how he could have won those matches.
Or reflect on your self instead of thinking comp is some kind of grind that, if you play enough matches without self improving you reach your rank.

yo. i win more than half my games and still lost 300 sr. TWICE. climbed into gold two times this one season. nothing you can do about it at this low rank. unless, you play thousands of games and spend 3 or 4 seasons to go up 2 or 3 ranks. have fun

As soon as you’re even a little tilted the chance of losing goes way up

Recently started to play with friend of mine as duo Q, i must say that we climb so easy (because both of us dropped from 3.8k to 3k).
Both we play DPS, but when we DUO’q, i am filling and he is playing DPS (in 90% of the games). In 40% of the games i play also DPS, because my team asks me to play and we are destroying our enemies.
So Always try to Q with friends, it helps alot!
