last i hear they prioritised player fun, and that meant supporting people who wanted to only play one hero.
but the thing is, that fun of one is at the cost of at least 5 others.
how does that make any sense to them? do they not realise how backwards it is?
needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few and all that.
tldr, onetricks suck balls
True one tricks are honestly extremely rare so i dont see it as issue really.
I have to disagree on that one.
If it’s not an actual one trick, there’s always one dude that refuses to switch no matter how little value they are getting.
But just because someone refusing to switch doesnt make one trick from him. I am flex and I play almost all heroes and yet I had countless games where i did refuse to switch. Because i switch when i feel i should, not when i am told to.
That’s what you’re taking from this? The fact you don’t like being asked to switch?
Tell me, how is it different? Is it just an ego or do you just not realise how much of a detriment you are being to your team?
Why should i listen others who usualy have lower game knowledge than me or fail to realize where is actual issue in team?
Yeah so it’s an ego thing. To make such assumptions is pathetic mate.
Its not ego, its reality. If i feel like not doing my job i switch. I dont have problem to play 4 different heroes in one match to pick what is best for team. I just ignore dumb requests of forcing to switch from players who have garbage game knowledge and game sense when my pick is ok.
I can give you example from yesterday. Team mates blaming our zen for not enough healing and forcing him to switch why they played freaking hog+diva on blizzard world attack agaisnt sym+torb.
I defended zen and told them they are reason why we are losing. They had no clue.
So no, i really dont listen people who have no clue what is going on in match.
This statement alone proves that, well, it’s just not true. What makes you think you know more than your team? They are the same rank as you, are they not? They could be GM players learning an off role for all you know.
No but I can see that you play zen. The single worst healer in the game. My confidence in your knowledge is lessened by the second.
Again, what makes you think you know more?
. Ans zen was the worst pick you could have made.
As true as that may be, you didn’t help.
Ego
It’s not really an issue since you can prevent getting matched with these players.
No i’m not a one-trick.
If GM player in my elo is able to explain why my pick is bad choice I dont have problem to think about it and possibly switch to something else I can play well. Thats not the case usualy tho. Usualy its morons who dont know nothing about game and blame others because they cannot blame themselfs obviously.
Every player has strong and weak sides. I have very good game knowledge and can analyze what is issue in my games usualy. I do a coaching too. So i think my game knowledge is way above my elo. I am for example worse with mechanical skill and reaction time and other minor things.
I play zen so what? I carried myself with him to my elo. Its just one of my accounts, i play more support heroes. Just because someone play zen doesnt mean he is not working or doing bad, please dont tell me you are one of those who blame others just because of hero choices as i explain above…
If my pick is ok? When i am doing my job, when I do i am supposed to provide on my hero? Not being hard countered. Simply saying doing good job.
I wasnt the zen and we lost because of tanks. Zen was totaly fine pick in the elo game was played and in situation we were in.
Help? How could I help? People didnt listen, didnt care. They were busy blaming zen. I told them to pick different ranks. They did get it too late in defense when it was already too late to have good chance to win.
Call it as you want, i dont care. For me its common sense to not listen others when I do know more about game than people who shout “switch widow you noob” after i have two kills on support and my tanks just watch enemy tanks in choke not pushing 6v4…
Youre gonna have to explain that one.
But not a plat though because you’re better than them.
So you twist the argument now.
But you cant rank up?
Then don’t play zen.
He is the worst healer, if not hero, in the game. I’m glad you carried yourself to plat, you should be proud but plat isn’t bragging rights.
No, but zen is by far the worst healer. Like it’s not even close. It’s like playing mobile bastion. You can play him, but why would you? All you do is handy cap yourself and your team.
You could be doing your job, but when it’s the wrong job it doesn’t matter.
Fair enough. I stand by zen being the single worst pick in that situation though.
That comment was made assuming you were the zen. I can’t offer any advice without knowing what you were playing.
You can say you know more all you like. It really doesn’t look like it though.perhaos if you put that “knowledge” to use, you’d end up with better teammates that aren’t toxic.
Grouping up, Friends or LFG.
I play in GM. I can duo at most.
Because the underlying complaint isn’t one tricking. The real problem you have is “That person is not playing the character I want them to play”
People rarely complain about a one-trick Reinhardt, even if he’s doing terrible. They tell him to put up his shield and stop charging, but they don’t tell him to switch.
If you don’t complain about a bad Reinhardt one trick, and also don’t complain about a very good Widow one trick, then one-tricking isn’t the problem.
No dude, it comes from playing off meta picks into owl ex owl players is kind of an instant loss. I can’t comment on lower ranks but when you play against someone that is on another level and you have a bastion one trick forcing 5 people to play around him, it’s not fun.
I personally would complain about a rein one trick because they are too common. You regularly run Into 2.
So it comes from playing off meta picks, but you would complain about Reinhardt, who is required in the current meta?
Yes, I would. This meta has 2 sides. One of witch is orisa sig.
The subtoxic way is let them play until they have ult. Or let them flop the round. Then pressure them for a swap.
Yes it’s mostly an entitlement thing. 2/3 of people are waiting 20 mins for a match to play one of their 2-3 mains. At those rates, no one is getting enough ongoing live comp practice. And swapping at the first sign of trouble, to get more value (e.g. to break shields, which is basically every match rn), is just plain boring - and again it doesn’t give you valuable hard-odds practice in actual comp.
Its you who is trying to twist my words. I didnt say I am better at plats. I said my game knowledge is way above my current elo.
Why are you suddedly talking about if I can or cant rank up. I know I can, I know what to fix and how differently I would have to play to rank up. I have other accounts in DIamond and I dont really feel like I should try harder to rank higher, its simply nto worth the sacrifices I would have to make.
I can play what ever I want mate 
I dont care if he is best or worst support. I play what I like to play and climb with it. You really like to command others what they can do and what they should play right?
What do you mean by that? I try to win my games, if my hero choice doesnt work, I switch.
Your skill wont give you non toxic team mates, its toxic higher in ranks anyway. The tanks in my games werent that toxic honestly, they just reminded several time that zen should switch. But he wasnt the issue why we were losing. It wasnt in plat anyway. It was lower on my alt. And I was Mercy btw.
I consider myself as someone who have a lot of knowledge about games and I know stuff people in my elo usualy dont know. You can call it ego as you like, but its not and ego in my opinion. I am simply confident in my game knowledge, is that a bad things? I am not trying to lecture my team mates. If anything, I just suggest hero switching so team have better chance to win for example.
