I’m Silver, I’ll admit it, I dropped from 2100 to 1800 to help my sister climb. I’m trying to climb out and after a 4 game winning streak which out me back to 2000 I had this happen:
We all joined, all six of us in voice chat, nice. Right as assemble team starts, boom, four DPS instalock, a moira, and me Orisa. The four DPS were Genji, Reaper, Junkrat, and Widow. I simply ask: “Can one of our 4 DPS swap?” I get a hrash response fro the Genji,“No, I have genji gold guns and I have 400+ hours. Make the widow switch, she’s a Zenyatta main.” I decided to ask again and our reaper swaps off, I felt relieved only to see him swap to Hanzo and then to Mercy and then back to Reaper. So we roll out with this comp into Volskaya, we cap first pretty quickly and get ourselves 6 minutes 42 seconds to cap second.
Our first push onto 2nd was nice, Reaper used death blossom, Moira used Coalescense to keep Reaper up ti was good we got 2 ticks and I felt good, like maybe this comp wasn’t so bad after all. And then Genji wastes his dragonblade doesn’t Kill anyone so he swaps to Torb and goes AFK. I reported him and then he swapped to Sym and started to do stuff, like place a teleporter at the edge of the map and we all died to charging into the point and dying. Me and Reaper obviously voiced our concern and then the Genji left voicechat. We never capped 2nd.
Defense rolls around, we assemble our team: Orisa, Bastion, Mercy, Symm, Hog, and Moira. I felt really confident until our Genji, playing bastion, swapped to Torb last second and decided to throw was the best way to play. He rejoined voice chat as soont he 2nd round started and cussed at us telling us how bad we were and how he should be in Diamond or Master but “crappy” teammate like ourselves held him back.
We got steamrolled and lost.
Long story short. I’ve poured hundreds of dollars into this game and to see the community start sucking again really hurts. I have broken headsets from the rage this game gets and have cried from the pure lack of care people have in comp. This game sucks now and instead of fixing overpowered characters Jeff decides to buff them more and nerf weak characters which has killed the communities care for the game.
