The team with the better ENABLED dps wins

If a DPS player is the same rank as you and they’re on an established account, do you really think they’re in this game whiffing 50 shots in a row? The matchmaker isn’t perfect but it’s not so bad that you’re wildly better than your teammates. You might be observing a one trick getting countered but they win just as many games as you in the long run (queue anomalies aside like diamond tanks ending up in plat or masters games).

Smurfs aside, it’s the DPS who are better ENABLED who appear in the kill feed more. If your tanks don’t have synergy (e.g. Orisa/Zarya), don’t make sense against the enemy comp (Hog/Zarya against Torb/hitscan/snipers), or don’t manage their cooldowns well and hog the healing, it’s a really simplistic view of the game to go straight to blaming DPS.

I enable everyone on my team by eliminating the enemy team lul.

Yeah we can point fingers and say whats the problem all we want, everyones performance effects each other for better or worse, you cant actually single anything out really.

Because you could say bad dps will cause tanks to fail because they can only hold the frontline so long and if the enemy is getting picks and youre not, then our defenses go down faster than the enemies despite what tanks do.

You can only do your job to the best of your ability with what you got. You gain nothing from picking out the fault of others except an excuse for yourself.

Show us on the doll where the Mercy main on your team refused to blue beam you.

In other words: the team that works better together wins.

You just found the secret sauce!

except the teams are slapped together with rigged mmr
every1 cherry picked for every match.
with wait times and performances associated with knapsack constraints.

they’re not randomly assigned from nearby sr.
true fairness: u wud just perform, win or lose, and be on with it.
never to be judged and rigged-on based on hidden analysis of ur data.

it’s no secret to math ppl. the sauce consists of several patents and dev statements. it’s only secret to gamers living a lie in denial.

This is where if you get reported or avoided really effects win / losses.

If you get placed with less amenable people.

There’s truly 3 dimensions.

Skill
Amenable
Desire to win

Skill is where you can improve.

Amenable you can’t be a jerk and atleast not appear to be super low skilled because you can still be reported or avoided.

Desire to win was undermined with priority queue tickets.

What and how the match maker knows or thinks it knows outside of skill is where people’s experience differ.

If you think skill can out weigh the other stuff - then you don’t need to avoid people.

Amenable over skill won’t get you far for long cause a team full of amenable people without skill is still a stomp.

And even if you have skill but everyone else on your team doesn’t want to win… good luck it’ll be 1v6.

If we find the match maker does use endorsements, then that’s a dimension outside skill.

Oh but you can, watch replays of all your teammates and see who is not playing the game as intended. Then ask yourself why?

is that after you charge into 6 people and die instantly?

People in game makes decisions based on the situation around them, since you’re part of the game and a team member you create the situation around them. I’m not saying it’s your fault but everything’s going to have an effect. Then sometimes it is your fault or you could have done something about it.

The main thing is that it’s pointless to dwell over the problems of your teammates at times better spent either resolving their problems or ones of your own.

you are exhausting with your same repetitive crap every time.

do you also believe vaccines cause autism and that the government issues the people to take these shots to keep them obedient? because these two beliefs are the same level of crazy.

Yes, that’s Hulk’s SECRET MOVE!

No one else wants to charge into enemy team.

I am unsure, that people make decisions at all. You would expect players to change their behaviour, if outhealing incoming damage is impossible, but it just doesn’t happen.

Everyone makes decisions, though you can’t expect your team do the best decisions when you are not in GM+

But it’s not decision, as it lacks any reaction.

Thats assuming that only one type of reaction is valid, they could have decided to do nothing about it, the thought process can still occur. Furthermore there might be reasons they aren’t doing what you view as the proper move. You only see the game from your perspective just like they only see the game from their perspective this could cause flaws in their judgment but it can also cause flaws in yours, and if you presume to call out a flaw that they are unaware of then it could also be true there is your own flaw that you are unaware of and this could be causing misjudgment either on their side or yours, depending on perspective.

Any decision you make your teammates are inputs, so are the opp, the maps and objective, your own awareness and skill.

If the output of decision is not the outcome you wanted, you can assign blame ANY input.

If for one second you think your skill can overcome any one of all input, you are not accepting reality and therefore insane.

To not allow others to become sane is tyrannical.

It maybe just a game but dictating others beliefs that their skill can over come others bad decisions is purely fantasy. And if the root belief stems from ones own experience lacks empathy for others thoughts and experiences especially since nothing can be proven and all sides are speculation.

They say money is a root of evil absolutism must be a close second.
