Masters vs Gold .Why i left high elo to play in gold.Remember why we all started playing this game

You’re not wrong.

There’s people that claim being spanked by smurfs helps you get good. Bunch of crap of course.

But don’t think it’s sociopaths or scumbags always. My GM friend was a nice guy.

He was just frustrated with the game when he couldn’t affect the outcome. When I told him about my 5-4 Volskaya win with 2 super coordinated teams, he told me only about 5% of his GM games had decent teamwork.

And as a main tank main I’m sure that was very frustrating.

222 is a start, but game needs clans imo.

Yup, I’m noticing this a lot in 222.

Almost always a godly Zarya at 80% charge all game and 2 trash dps just feeding 1v6 all game.

And there’s Reapers everywhere. They either wade in 1v6 and die, or wade in 1v6 and kill entire enemy team as their dps are crap and can’t counter him.

Got wrecked by Pharmercy one game. mcCree and Soldier were Rein adn Orisa mains. Our Dva was a Mercy main.

I loled…

I’m just treating it as quickplay 222 and learning new heroes, as me “throwing” isn’t going to make this utter mess any worse.

IMO the game needs more structure, but 2-2-2 was the wrong way to go about it.
Instead of allowing you to have 3 ratings, one for each role, what Blizzard should have done is to allow you to have 2 or 3 slots for teams, each with it’s own rating.

Then you form a team, stick to those players and you’ll gradually improve over time.

With 2-2-2 as it works currently, you wont notice gradual improvement, because the games will remain a coin toss. You’ll either get competent players, or you wont.

You can work on yourself in the meantime though. (Although if games stays as bad as this for more than a few months it’ll be dead).

eg, enemy Hog wrecking us. The 2 dps were Genji and Sombra. Didn’t have the raw damage to take out enemy Hog whilst he took breather or ran back to team.

So my dps essentially threw.

But, I got hooked and one shot 4 times. That’s down to me as I was badly positioned at least 3 of those times.

When your team mates are shocking it’s a good chance to practice a hero against the odds, in the hope that when you do have good tea mates, you ca really excel.

It’s only a “bunch of crap” in the eyes of people who look for things to blame instead of what they can take away from a challenge.

I’ve definitely learned from going against actual smurfs (which aren’t as common as the blaming types would have people believe). If you don’t learn anything from the experience, that’s entirely on you.

Dude even in diamond the dps are terrible .Im a tank main as well and the dps may as well be non existant in diamond .Even yeatle told me my orisa is some of the best he has ever seen and why i was in diamond and then he told me "oh i know why cause you play tank lol " .My take is alot of dps players simply get carried cause they play dps role and when they get to diamond they just not very good or dont have much experience .

Gazzor : Oh yeh dude i agree with im totally .I once played on my mates GM account and it was terrible .played 3 games where players wouldnt switch and raged at each other it was a total @%$$ show .

Yeh man reaper is getting highly annoying .I played a few games in diamond today won most of them but it was just so unenjoyable and the team was raging at each other low elos are way better .

yeh i been playing alot of sigma just cause hes fun hey .

Elobacarcen : the whole match maker needs to be revamped to be honest .because atm it just punishes people who Que with friends and rewards solo Qers with heaps of SR its totally busted to be honest hence why alot of people are just having fun in lower elos .

Oh so your another stalker matt are you seen as you seen my stream and for your information i was on youtube for about a yr and would get 20 viewers consistantly and i wasnt even trying to grow my channel .But hey again like i said keep clutching at straws .i would love to see what you look like in real life and what you do for work because anyone who has to go to these lengths to belittle someone online dont have much going for them i guarantee you .

Same with the other stream snipers who abused me and bullied me online all ugly most of them no job and no girlfriend .You know these type of people are always losers because if they werent they wouldnt be bullying others online .

So…account sharing?

Then please show the account that is in diamond. Its shouldnt be that hard.

So randomly looking at one of the many links you have dropped on this forum many times = stalking?

Its nice to see some projection from you. Its one of the characteristics of someone who is arrogant.
And if you really want to know, Im right now going to school and getting an education, and my life is really good. I just like to use my spare time by arguing with ignorant and arrogant people.

And you have done nothing but insult anyone who tried to have an honest conversation with you. Projection much?

Account sharing is not a bannable offence or defran and every other pro who shares would be banned but nice try .

Matt: im not going to show you these accounts in diamond cause now that i know your a loser and a stalker why would i ?.I mean i learnt from my mentor before i became successful that only miserable and unsuccessful people have time to bully and hate on others and you are a shining example of this .i mean look how long it took you to screen shot my profile and then respond to every sentance i made .You are a rank 1 hater dude like the other ugly haters that tried to throw my games .

Also i made this thread and you came onto it insulting me so that suggests that your not doing too well in life .I never did this thread and started hating on anyone .See the differance here .You have to hate on me and insult me because your life isnt great where is im happy with my life so i have no need to do these things .its just common sense .

Also you dont random look at my threads dude you always have some nasty stuff to say on all of them .Which is why im telling the truth about your life being miserable because if you have to do this to people man i feel sorry for you .Anyway im not gonna insult you cause im not gonna lower myself to the trolls and haters im alot better than that .Cya guys and for the positive people im always willing to help and give advice .GG.

Well i guess blizzard better get banning the whole community then .Sorry to break it to you but sharing a account with a family member has never been a bannable offence .Sharing with a friend on the other hand is .Good day and like i said nice try .Cya guys have fun being miserable and hating on people .Ill let you guys go to the next person you must be getting frustrated trying to get to me and failing :slight_smile: GG.

Just so you know, an underage dependent =/= any family member. Just basic English.

I was eating dinner…

Sooo you have nothing to show taht you are actually diamond? Ok.

And the first time I actually met you, I was trying to be nice, but you started insulting me because I said that your halts, YOUR HALTS, werent that great. but you have shown time and time again that you dont deserve that people are nice to you.

As I said, Im right now going to school and having a great life. You, on the other hand…

I actually just correct you everytime you lie in them…

You dont even know me, so why dont you shut up about something you dont even know?

I dont think I need to say anything here…

Going against smurfs can make you better of course, but that should be an option because the way it happens most of the time in this game, I assume, its just rude af.

But it’s not an option. So when it happens, your choices are to

  1. Learn what you can or
  2. Learn nothing and whine.

I almost never come across actual smurfs. More often I see people accusing slightly more skilled people who deserve to climb of being smurfs.

Thread should be titled, ‘Gold player gets boosted to Masters, falls back to gold where he belongs’.

I hear what you are saying, but thats just a poor standard to set, imo. Basically saying its ok because nobody can stop it.
