So I haven’t played much in a long time. I decided to queue up some comp games and they were questionable. I assumed it was due to being placement games, so I keep going and don’t think about it. But it seems the more games I play the worse they are getting. Watching my tank go 2-12 because they yeet into enemy team with a bastion and reaper, proceed to blame the supports, and then repeat the process. It makes it difficult to want to keep playing this game.
In my last 10 games someone seems to just be feeding or dps support. Now don’t get me wrong there are games that I don’t play well, but what is happened to the games? Has it been like this and I have just missed out since I haven’t been play, or am I just getting lucky? If this is the average experience I will probably just leave again, but I wanted some insight from those that have been playing more regularly than I have.
it happens. you’d have to post a replay code of what exactly you are talking about though. For all we know the situation you describe maybe you really were letting your tank down over and over again and they were actually making great plays you should have been supporting.
I remember recently a support came here flaming his tank for something very similar - “tank just kept going in and dying” so we had them post the replay and it was absolutely the opposite of what they described. The tank was clearly just doing their job taking normal front line positioning and using cover but the supports were absolutely failing to do anything other than baseline heal (as in only primary fire healing as support, they were juno and moira) and ANY number of other supports probably would have saved their tank every time (speed from juno or lucio for escapes / bap or kiri for a cleanse or immortality / LW to pull them out when critical etc). Straight heals is usually not a good way to keep people alive over time imo… even with burst healing abilities if you actually look at the numbers no healer will ever out heal a DPS or a kill combo if they have good aim or perfect execution so you need pullout/save abilities.
I’d understand if you mean like having a reinhart literally charging completely out of LOS so he can go poke enemy spawn doors and dieing that way - that’s just actual throwing and you should report them, but I’m guessing what you really mean is your tank kept pushing up to the front line trying to do their job and was just quickly dying. sure it COULD be their fault but it might also be yours we’d have to see it to judge the situation and let you know if you could have been doing something different. Even if it is still the tanks fault if you post a replay code of what you’re talking about you might learn something about how you actually could have saved that game or helped your tank.
While the example I used was a tank example, the tank is the only one I am talking about. A lot of my games seem to have someone who appears to be feeding. It could be dps, tank or support. I know I have fed sometimes trying to get the last kill. I did some reading on the patches and I have notice that my issue it forgetting about the new respawn mechanic.
I would think only one would be coming back and whoops now there are three of them. That is completely on me not remembering that it respawns are now completely different. I am just trying to figure out why someone would have a lot more deaths that anyone else on the team. I assume you still need to play several games of QP before comp or has that changed? The players that seem to be feeding appear to not know the game. I don’t know how to tell how much time they have played as the accounts are private.
I just really want to know am i just having an unlucky experience lately or is this to be expected for the future games?
this is literally my entire comp experience nowadays… 
I recommend playing QP until you know the basics of OW and what the hero’s do etc but after that personally i exclusively play comp only even if im returning from a 2 or 3 week break. doesn’t matter if I’m rusty i only enjoy comp.
IMO the number of feeders / throwers / trolls (whether on purpose or accident) is just something you literally have to accept in OW but really in any game… because this is 100% free to play with hardly any barrier to entry people don’t really have skin in the game and for most people losing a game of OW is honestly not at all a big deal.
I think with every badge rank you go up though you filter more and more of that out as you climb but anyways - my opinion is that unless some one is INTENTIONALLY throwing or sabotaging as a support you can always change something to help the situation.
Honestly bro, save yourself the time and stress and just…
Uninstall until they bring back 6v6
And even then
The game has been basically without life since 2018
The game is extremely borked now. Its so bad we had anything from a dev saying he refuses to play comp, to rank 1 players getting stuck in diamond and masters.
Theres zero personal performance ranking now with sbmm and an mmr system. So matches are determined if you will win or lose before you hit queue.
To rank up you will have to grind out 1000s of matches with a slightly above 50 winrate. Or just make a new account. The reason you have bad team mates is in the patch notes, they add losing streak players to your team to balance them out
Dont let any white knights on here tell ya otherwise or gaslight ya. Ive personally climbed this ladder a few times, peaked higher then most, and can say its a mess.
Ranked means nothing now, so try to just play for fun. Or wait until marvel rivals is out

You can’t take comp seriously anymore. The teams are rarely well matched, so most games are complete stomps. It’s just longer quick play now.

You are joking about this right? If this is true this game would have turned into a complete joke. If a dev won’t even play comp then why should the regular player base? That should be a sign that something is completely wrong and should be addressed. I suppose i will just treat comp as very casual gameplay while I play, and not worry about.
I will try to find it and link it for ya after work. Seagull interviewed the one dev, he said he will not play comp because he knows how it works and only makes him mad
I f you find that I wouldn’t mind watching/reading that. Also any link to the rank 1 player stuck in lower elo as well? This has me curious now as I see a bunch of threads saying that the player just needs to get good. If it is try that a rank 1 player has an account stuck in a much lower elo that must mean something is wrong.
no hes not joking. what hes saying is well known
dont forget arrge being hard stuck in diamond.
over 8000 hours on hanzo. One of, if not the best, players in the game’s history since 2016-17

Around 40 min mark is interesting
He sees behind the curtain, and pretty much admits it is not encouraging for him to play. That is hilarious. Does the two people interview have the ability to change that and make it encouraging for them to play?
You would think he would atleast try to fix that.
It seems this game has become a joke even for those working on it. It is disappointing to listen to that. It has so much potential. It is still the best fps to me, but it is losing the draw it once had for me. It is a shame. I may start looking for another games that might take up my free time then.
