After a long couple of weeks of dropping in and out of master then today dropping to mid Diamond, I’m really getting frustrated at the fact that I’m always getting smurfs on the other teams, throwers on my team as well as one tricks. Today I had a match were the other team had 4 smurfs. All of them probably high master to gm. Of course my team got stomped regardless of what we did. I’m just frustrated at the faclthe teams are rarely fair. I really like this game and do not want to see it become a really toxic game like others.
Thank you for reading.

Should just place people random, oh wait they already do. Don’t worry about sr and just play.

Sorry bud, but they won’t fix anything because the mindless fanboys will keep buying lootboxes for their poorly and weakly designed events.
Why waste time for something when the income is still over the top, eh?

We can always hope for more places to follow the trend and make lootboxes a thing that makes a game AO. That would clear out of the toxic I feel.
competitive is more like quick play now, total mess with all these one tricks and 5 offence/defence picks without healer and tank.
It’s all over the place - I see so many smurfs and boosted accounts in gold/plat as well. SR rank is a joke right now.

Throwers are the only ones you can report as Smurfs and One tricks are not against the rules.
As much as I would like for smurfs to be reported and upheld as they are pretty lame.

Wait, so you bounce between a few hundred elo’s of each other, which is normal when you are at the rank you belong at, yet you blame it on everyone else on your own inability to climb?

If you can’t reach a rank, you don’t belong there.

ive up and down 1000 points in Ranked in one season. Its a very flawed system. Just report all of those poor teamwork players. IF they one trick its fine. But if they are getting countered and not switching and losing the game on purpose for you and your teammates report them.
I am on my way to wood tier and it feels great! no wins at all now, just people wanting to “try” new heroes and then throw the game.
so much fun I may just buy another account…nah, I will save my money and buy something else.
Competitive has not been serious gamemode since season 3 (maybe four) once people figured out you could abuse the system by one tricking an off meta hero the competitive experience nosedived people become more selfish, people would throw to teach one tricks a lesson, nobody wanted to switch because you lose more SR if you flex and still lose.
Add in how much more angry people became because of these issues and blizzard refusing to ban people for a year and here we are, there needs to be a gigantic ban wave to fix comp the end of season problem are exaggerated but they exist all season long.

Lol.
why do you believe that they were high masters to gm?
Even if they claim this, it is unlikely to be true.
Yes, I could see a person who newly made it to masters or GM doing this, but most of us really don’t need to do this or want to. Those who are inclined to this type of behavior, like myself, did it enough times by now that it’s not even a think we enjoy doing anymore. There is little to be gained by playing in a lower tier unless you are playing heroes that you are genuinely in that tier with
LoL, if you’re lucky you’ll play with TimTheTatman. He’s been playing on his alternate account until he reaches master on it.
TimtheTatman is playing on his alternate diamond account trying to get it to 3500 to keep his main from getting below 4k =3
You’re all over the place here.
You start off stating you’re always getting all the throwers and one tricks on your team and the opposing team gets all the smurfs. This is most likely confirmation bias as you’re going to get a stronger reaction from having a onetrick who wont switch on your team rather than the opposing team. You’re a lot more likely to remember all those people who ruined the game for your team rather than the people who gave you an easy win. On average in the long run you’re going to have less throwers/otp on your team unless you yourself are a part of the problem.
And when it comes to teams rarely being fair, it’s a byproduct of having a matchmade team of 6v6. In an area of low coordination and teamwork, having different opinions and ideas of what’s right is going to be common, especially in a game of split second decissions. Not to mention that people have bad games(you included). This is true for every game of matchmade teambased games.

In my opinion there is an easy fix, I would suggest a similar system like in Heartstone. Once you hit a different bracket of players(silver, gold, etc…) the minimum you can fall to is that minimum SR for the given bracket. This might create whole different issues, but sure does fix the ones explained above.

I strongly agree with this. A lot of player burnout and tilt would lessen if this were the case. A lot of grief and toxicity would disappear.
You can’t derank past the highest level you achieve. To increase is to get better. You can’t just obliterate your SR and amuse yourself by getting 100 kills in bronze, silver, gold and plat if your skill floor is consistent diamond or whatever.
For example: as cool and funny as it is to watch Dafran, a GM/Top500 player absolutely decimate lower ranked players when he spawn camps them as Torbjorn, it’s also really sad at the same time.
