When your on a losing streak, the caliber of players are

We all had losing streaks, some more than others. And on those streaks, I feel… the people they match me with are what I like to call them, “The others” (a lost reference).

These folks dont take the game seriously, dont know whats going on, and they dont care.

So true or false, when you are on a losing streak, the people in your game are “different” than even the normal 50/50 games, and winning streak games.

False. You are on a losing streak because you are performing poorly. Your poor performance is affecting your teammates ability to perform which gives it the appearance that they are worse, but in reality it’s just a cascading effect.

I understood that reference :point_up:t4:

  • captain America

I mean…. Unfortunately, my PC is packed away and will be for “some time,” but I feel you might benefit from another VOD review, SgtSlaughter.

I would recommend KomodoDragon, Niccolo, Abdullah9000, or maybe Demifiend (explicitly because these are people I know play DPS heroes you’re interested in and would give you a solid review).

I know you do your own reviews and I know you work hard. So why not have someone take a look?

Remember when I did the VOD for you?

Junkertown…. You literally carried the defense round on Hanzo (no denying) but on offense, though you did Okay on Widowmaker you didn’t swap to Pharah fast enough to help your team gain traction since they were unable to capitalize on your picks as Widow. You literally got ultimate with like over 30 seconds left on the clock (if I remember correctly) but your team didn’t have enough time to engage together :frowning:

So maybe, if one of the more experienced players can help you up your game sense a little bit you can increase your clutch factor and I honestly believe this will lead to more wins.

Personally I say false. But rather than giving you the party line I usually do, I’m asking you to give someone a chance to try and show you something that you might be overlooking?

From one Hanzo main to another :kissing_heart:

Up to you :hugs:

Bob, I will ask you again, would you be willing to join our discord community? People such as Zax, Rhainsict, Niccolo, and even Abdullah9000, would be more than willing to help, I know they often come off as abrasive here on the forums, but they all want to see players improve.

saw my name so figured i should chime in

i don’t know if you’ve seen the vod reviews i’ve done on the forum in the past (it has been a while since i’ve done one on the forums) but i’d be more than happy to help you if i’m able to.

for me to potentially do so, itd be helpful to be given a general understanding of your hero pool, who you like and want to play. i think you had posted a soldier vod a while back? and just looking through your heroes so far in the early season it seems like you like to play more hitscan heroes from my interpretation.

i could definitely give some insight for tracer, across my playstation and pc accounts, she’s probably my second/first most played dps hero. for a hero such as hanzo, i’d refer to rhainsict, who is a hanzo main and would definitely have a lot great advice to give on that hero. he could also probably take you farther on hitscan heroes than i could, but i could still give some insight as well.

i see you flexed to mei a bit as well, and if you had any intention on playing more of her i could help with that as well. i didn’t see these two heroes in there either, but echo and sombra are among my best and if you ever were to play them / want to learn them, id be happy to assist.

i genuinely would love to help you to the best of my ability. i think that bigger than anything, if you are willing to learn, i am willing to teach. i’m not saying this like “yes go to niccolo for all your dps needs” because i know i wouldn’t be able to fulfill that, and i don’t want to come off as some master of the role. but i believe i’d be able to at least some give insight, and would be interested in doing so for you :slight_smile:

Not really, you can have loss streaks even if you perform above average. Bad team mates are the reality sometimes. Having loss streak with them multiple times is just bad luck tho.

Folks - I have to address the love I get! Thank you!

I will take you guys up on it. Lets do discord next week, but you can find me in a game time to time under SgtSlaughter.

2 confessions.

  1. I am NOT having a losing streak right now. I see others have them (I HAD them in the past) and this is what I was feeling at the time. If you check SgtSlaughter, I went 4-1 on placements and 20 points ahead where my last season ended.

  2. I dont have discord lol and I am an introvert. So, next week let me get discord and play some folks - in the mean time I’ll send a VOD. I am working on tracer.

The price is wrong, Bob :joy: (Happy Gilmore)

Honestly though Bob, as someone who has invested a lot of time in DPS play and has seen you make comments about taking up aim training, I can’t lead you to believe that aim training is the end all be all (it can bail you out a lot though).

Feel free to join the discord server. You’ll have constant access to any of us who do like to provide VODs across the entire hero class, and just general information.

And you can post funny clips and things because it’s hilarious to watch Overwatch fails. :joy:

I hope you don’t endure one!!

My duo partner and I (I’m getting back into the game slowly) grinded pretty solid and rolled some kids for quite a few games. Took some losses here and there but nothing consistent.

I felt this :heart:

I really developed a DEEP appreciation for Tracer and if you get good at her, she’s extremely powerful. I do play a lot of Tracer but so does

He can probably handle that and I can give my $0.10 whenever you have other questions :innocent:

Niccolo is more of a Flex DPS player and I’m a hitscan player (but I main Hanzo because he’s the coolest hero in the game :sunglasses:).

It’s not an official discord for the forums. Just a group of people who like to play Overwatch and coach others.

Would you be interested in joining?

Likely as a coach? :sweat_smile:

Not wrong…. :joy:
