Nightmare comp session today

Competitive Discussion
1

0-6-1, 6 losses, 1 tied. Almost dropped to silver… If I keep dropping like this I’ll have to take another break from comp and train…

I just took like a 3 week break from it focusing on improving as a soldier because I was dropping, playing QP and DMs to improve gamesense/aim, and training against bots to specifically improve aim.
Initially after the break I managed to stabilize and even climb a little bit, and I felt I had an influence on most games, also usually had gold dmg/elims, for whatever that is worth. And my teams wouldn’t complain about me, in fact I’d usually get endorsements for good teammate.

But now I’m dropping like a rock again…

If I have to take a break again and train as much as I already have I’m gonna turn into an aimbot when I come back… Ughh…

IMO, intensive training like you’ve described can have negative repercussions in some cases.

Personally, I play best when I’m relaxed. On the flip side, I play awfully when I’m tense and tired.

Always strive for improvement, but don’t let a few bad games consume you. Keep a critical eye open and look for things you did wrong/could have done better, but don’t beat yourself up over them. It’s all about balance.

The fallacy is that you somehow can control the outcome of all your games by yourself.

Also Soldier might not be the best pick right now. Compared to most of the other dps, he’s not in the best place strength wise. That said, after his next buffs, maybe your time on him will pay off!

Also, DM isn’t great for game sense I think, it’s mostly to improve your aim, more so than against bots.

You guys think it’s good idea I put up footage somewhere so people can critique? I suspect aim wise I am okay but that gamesense wise something might be terribly wrong.

Yeah this game’s Competitive mode is the weakest point at this moment in time on Overwatch. it is literally the TURN-OFF to the selling point for anyone wanting to enjoy this game. If they ever get it fixed. I will be wiling to throw some more cash at Merch and boxes again.

Competitive Flaws

  • Punishes Good efforts
  • Randos effect YOUR SR, which you have no control over (at least lawfully)
  • Sincere gameplay does NOT make for wins
  • Zero accountability due to Smurff Life
  • Wins pull less score-weight than losses to SR.
  • Match maker is allowed to build steam roll games on Competitive.
  • Game fixes are only based on Diamond and GM 500+ unless it is from Widowmaker players :wink:

let’s face it, we all want fixes to this game so Blizzard can stay open for another 10+ years and NOT dissolve. IMO Dead by Daylight, Apex and fortnite are not that fun.
