I FINALLY hit masters today and I am so happy... now i just want the patch to drop so I can only play as sombra lol

You're like a living myth to me. My experience has been this-

Mostly solo-queue but I either get bad DPS or bad Support and I can't fill both. I also get absolute stubborn teammates that refuse a good comp or don't realize they aren't doing anything and it just ruins that game completely. Maybe it is my skill level but if it is, it doesn't feel like it. I'll try to speedboost my team into with Lucio but they'll just watch me run in by myself while a rain of Junkrat bombs falls on them like snow. Or kill 2-3 enemies just to see my team not doing anything with it, as if they're fighting the zombies of the people I just killed. Man do I hate having Mercy or Ana on my team, especially both. Gold and Plat worship them both but if you die before you res or can't hit literally anything, including your team, then what's the point of either? I started to main Lucio because of it, making sure we had a reliable support and could control how my team pushes to an extent. It helped, like in my graph, I've rose a bit but I'm so far from where I started, it's ridiculous. How did you go about it? and I'll take it with a grain of salt because you probably have much better mechanics, thought process, and game knowledge than I do when playing.

Finally started some of my placement matches.
OH. MY. GOD. THESE PEOPLE ARE TERRIBLE.
I was playing with a Platinum friend and we agreed that these people are probably Bronze. Most of them were level 25's playing comp for the first time anyways. So many terrible decisions, I got silver elims as ANA in a 4 dps team, with a gold in healing and obj time.
Someone gold or platinum help save me from these people who think a team of only dps is viable. If I place Bronze or Silver I'm suing.

Edit: Last 4 games I found a group of 5 that was missing a second healer. Won the game, tied the next, then won the last 2. That was the best I've ever played Lucio and I even got POTM the 10th game. Ended up in gold. I can play QP satisfied now until season 3.

Congrats!

@Horus
Comp is always interesting. Usually, I solo-Q or duo-Q with my Diamond friend. The plat elo is a hit or miss (I find) and sometimes even Diamond players (3100-3200) make me question their SR, lol. Lucio is great on teams paired with Ana. You'll eventually get there, Horus. I've had this trio in comp berate me (I was on Lucio) for using speed boost ... whaaat? LOL. They had 1 person jump on mic and the toxicity started. I just couldn't. "Lucio is only meant for healing guise."

I'd say comp is at least better off with a duo-q. I go in solo and mostly, it's alright. I usually support / dps.

 

[Hyoshido]

Like, I kinda wanna do more comp, but I have enough for a gold weapon when season ends...So I kinda just gave up \o/

LOL T__T I need 200 more. Currently 1-3 in comp. My teams usually love to throw the game.

 

[EpicGamer12]

I sunk to at least 2400 in the last 2 days. I don't know why but it seems that in the last week, everyone has been throwing games super hard. It's really frustrating because I was having awesome teams most of the season and games would be super close.

Uhhh I'm not sure how bad low/mid plat is, but I assume very very bad. I know the bad DPS feel though, I think bad DPS is worse than bad support though because supports have pretty easy roles to fill. What I suggest doing is finding a good dps/tank player, duo with them, and just try to carry I guess? I had to climb out of rank 31 (which my brother placed us into) all the way to 57. I had a really good support friend and I just played tank and uh yeah we climbed all the way up.

For this season I had good placement matches for the most part and placed 2.8k, I then proceeded to climb to diamond with the help of my friends, one of which is a top 500 dps main. I proceeded to climb to 3.2k with the help of my friend who is an ana main, and you probably know how powerful ana + reinhardt is. Got stuck at 3.2k-3.3k for a bit but I got lucky and found a group of really good korean people who took me to 3.4k and then I solo queued the rest.

My advice is to just find someone to duo with and uh hope for the best, or try playing heroes that don't rely on the team, uh sorry if this didn't help comp is really just about skill and luck.

I sunk to at least 2400 in the last 2 days. I don't know why but it seems that in the last week, everyone has been throwing games super hard. It's really frustrating because I was having awesome teams most of the season and games would be super close.

I'm pretty sure it's because people are throwing to get a lower SR so they have placement matches with lower rank people

Honestly, DPS is the hardest job. I'm saying this as an Ana main. You can't carry as support unless you're Ryujohng from Lunatic Hai. Tank is also easy compared to DPS.

People LOVE to **** on DPS players for not protecting the mercy mains who can do NOTHING wrong. But here's this - if you are playing support, calm down and realize DPS are trying their best. I also get mad as the Ana when people wake up nanoboosted reins/reapers, but I try not to. I have better luck keeping a positive attitude and forgiving people.

DPS is a hard job. But its the only role you can carry. I myself have been practicing, and its way difficult compared to support. Support is not that hard, and I do enjoy supporting good people, but I realized I can't support a bad team all the way to winning. It's just not possible.

Practice. Just practice aiming. Play quick play until you get good.

And for those who want to remain Mercy mains or whatever, okay. But know its not your teams fault for protecting you 24/7, you have to depend on positioning. I have fairly good positioning as Mercy but I knoe if I do die, its because I was out of place. It's not your teams job to babysit you. Support mains can also make mistakes.

Anyway, I'm around your rank so I'd be willing to play with you if you're good at Reaper or Rein since I'm an Ana main. (@Horus)

Do you have anything to say to me, a gold junkrat main? I'm having difficulty getting out of 2.2k but I don't know where we're going wrong! I mean I get double kill riptires all the time, why aren't we winning ? And it's not my fault I wake up sleeping reinhardts! I have gold damage too so it's not like I'm doing anything wrong

 

[EpicGamer12]

Yep, the bad DPS feel. If I don't get DPS, I will usually go Zenyatta so I can still dish out tons of damage on their team and heal my team at the same time. I usually get 2-3 gold medals and a silver or bronze with him. When I play McCree I just get gold dmg and objective elims, sometimes objective time but it depends how well my team is covering my buttox.

- - - Post Merge - - -

Although I've had my fair share of really bad DPS games where I'm just super outmatched by a super good Genji. Sometimes I counter it by picking up Winston but it really depends on the map and their team.

- - - Post Merge - - -

Also, I got out of my loss streak. I sunk straight from 2550 to 2280 without a single win, and finally I got a team that actually communicated and was trying to win, and I'm at 2350 again now.

When I had Overwatch for xbox one, I loved it to death - and to this very day I still do. Just wish I had it for PC :'(

Christmas is right around the corner!

Christmas is right around the corner!

Not sure everyone can afford a brand new computer for Christmas though. o:

Also I've decided to just not bother climbing the ranks in OW anymore honestly.

You're right! I was taking it as if they didn't have a PC copy though.

One week left to climb, what's your goal? I think I played 20 rounds today ... meh. Tomorrow is the day! Levels really don't have *too much* to do with game, but I had a lot of lower levels (lowest being 26) and less than 3 hrs in competitive get into my team. Kinda frustrating. @_@

It was my goal to try and aim for enough for a gold weapon, but honestly I'd rather not bother. Payout isn't going to be enough and grinding through sweats with angry plats just doesn't sound entertaining.

Our girl Sombra should be coming to Live Overwatch tonight \o/

I agree with you, it is very annoying to play at the end of the season because everyone is either just instantly picking their mains or are trolling and refusing to communicate.

Yikes, I know that feel... Had so many yesterday and it was unbelieveable! It always helps to find a group of people you can play with n__n;;

Woo hoo, I love getting hacked. I hope they re-work her health pack hacking though. @_@~

Sombra's here along with the Heroes Of The Storm thing to earn the Oni Genji skin.
