Long story short. I was a High Gold player. I had a medical issue that messed up my hand and coordination. I’m at the point where I can play OW again but I really really suck. I’d always liked comp because you ended mostly playing around your skill level. The matchmaker really wants to put me in gold and teams are literally carrying me there even though I suck now. Is there anyway to fix this or do I have force teams carry me or lose until I’m in bronze?(probably where I belong now)
I feel bad, they are hurling abuse at me and there literally nothing I can do to fix it on my end.
And no, I’m not going to stop playing even if I’m in bronze forever. Been here since season 1.
Edit: Is making a second account against the rules? That might be my only fix but I hate to abandon this account.
Making a second account isn’t against the rules but it’ll probably place you in Diamond because it’s placing EVERYONE in high ranks now.
Eventually you’ll derank to where you need to be. Sorry it’s painful right now, but if you stick it out it eventually won’t be.
2 options.
- New account.
- Take the pain (pun intended) and you’ll drop to where you should be in time.
You can have as many accounts as you like.
just play, why care for teammates?
i am dead serious.
nah it’s not but don’t do it. just play on your main acc until you reach the rank that is good for you. it’d be quite sad to lose an account with skins etc just for that, you’re not doing anything wrong

I have two accounts. Go for it.
You can mute them all in options. Turn off all chat.
Make another account all because lil kids want to rage at you about some pixel game? Noooooo way i’d give people you’ll never ever meet or probably encounter that kind of power over you. Don’t do it. Play your account in all it’s glory and unlocks. You earned them after all.
Play with friends, they make games more bearable. Don’t have any that play regularly? Add me, i’ll play with you. I don’t care how well you do, I just enjoy playing.
Just keep playing. If you really are a dead weight at your current rank you will very quickly derank. It will be much quicker than you are expecting.
I think I’ll just keep playing this account and perhaps I’ll disable chat and just do my best until I settle where I may.
I know Blizz has automated alot as they downsized. I’m hoping I don’t catch a ban/suspension from the angry players.
Thanks for the advice.
Edit: Seems like if I play Junkrat who only needs you to calculate indirect fire arcs and aim in the general area, I can play in gold, placed gold 3 and keep going between 3-4. After all I still have my left hand so my movement is good, still have my positional knowledge and general game knowledge. However my performance for most games is pretty underwhelming and I can’t counter heroes by switching up. Junk my only good option to be useful because my aim and tracking are still bad. People definitely mad tho, can tell even with chat off. I might have to start another account if I want to try other heroes lol. I feel like I’d be limited to Junk, Moira, Mercy, Dva and Rein…I dunno never tanked much. Heres hoping my hand gets better overtime because there’s a chance it won’t.
