I used to say that I was decent, and that I performed at a pretty good level. Maybe Diamond tier, but now I’m honestly over that. Over the past month every game I play I look at my medals, which don’t mean much, but if your dps that should be getting easy kills doesn’t have medals on damage, or elims, than clearly they aren’t doing their job.
I hate doing the job of multiple people. half of the time the whole team will dive in, but our dps is sitting in the corner and dies alone, then asks for more healing.
As a tank my job is to create space, mitigate damage, and protect supports. I don’t need the extra job of eliminate every player on the enemy team and practically roll out the red carpet for you to get the last hit on the final enemy.
No, this time I really do feel I am playing above my skill level. With every game, even the ones we lose I feel as though I was doing well. No matter tank I pick, usually counter picking, I can do my job while doing more than I want to have to do.
This season I’ve learned how to do well with hammond, improved my winston play, tightened my D.va play, and have been killing it on other tanks like Zarya and Road. The last 2 are so easy in plat its not even funny. You get over 70% hook accuracy without having to do much, and stagger the enemy team no problem.
The only obstacle I have is my team. I used to try to be nice, but at this point I can’t tolerate having people that can’t do their job. I’m sure if I looked at the statistics the majority of players would be dps mains, and a majority of them probably play at a lower level than they are currently at.
Don’t give the player that may as well be afk the same SR gains as me. If I’m doing their job for them then why should they get rewarded. (its basically communism)
