Before anyone says anything I do not play CnD or Rocket as much as I once did. Since White Fox came out, I got GM playing White Fox and Invis, blah blah blah, but this person really told me to get off Hela before the game even started even though I locked her in first and my boyfriend decided he wanted to play Namor, and she sent that message. I will be real; I am trying to learn more dps to flex more in ranked, yet some people just do not want that to happen. This community truly is miserable. Of course you could see my frustration.

All the dps my friend plays excluding Storm.

This is called the no aim starter pack aka all the dps my friend plays and does nothing on.

What I don’t understand is why my friend expects me to carry him in ranked when he can’t even play a character that requires more than aiming, shooting, and dumping damage.

He’s D3. I’m GM3. I can’t carry him, especially when he claims he’s a support main but locks DPS every chance he gets just to go negative. He even says, “If I play DPS, we can win,” which is just flat out untrue.

I’m a support main. I climbed playing only two supports: Invis and White Fox. Meanwhile, he leans on Moon Knight and Squirrel Girl like they’re crutches, and even on those two he’s mediocre at best.

I already explained it to him: unless he can play someone who actually applies pressure and doesn’t immediately become useless the second his comfort pick gets banned (Moon Knight), there’s not much I can do for him. And somehow he still gets mad when I criticize him during VOD reviews.

The funniest part is when he does play support, it’s always Rocket, Jeff, or C&D never Invisible Woman. And when he does lock Invis, he panics the second he gets dove. I give him advice. Does he apply it? No.

At this point, I’m just tired of him and honestly, tired of players like him expecting to be carried while contributing absolutely nothing.

Edit: Let me make something clear: I do not hate my friend. This post is more about what he said to me and the lesson that came from it than anything else.

He told me I would never make it to GM, and yet I got here solo. That alone proved the problem was never me. In fact, the more I played on my own, the more obvious it became that the issue had always been him. I solo queued to GM with no real problems, but every time I queue with him, it feels like I hit a wall and go nowhere.

I was told I’d never reach GM, so where am I now? GM.

I got here playing only two supports Invis and White Fox and I had to learn quickly that I was never going to climb if I kept forcing myself into a heal-bot mindset. Having supports banned honestly helped me improve because it forced me to adapt, adjust, and learn how to provide more than just healing.

That’s the difference between us: I adapted. He refuses to.

The last time I tried to give him advice, he threw a tantrum, stopped speaking to me, and acted like he wasn’t the problem. But the reality is that he locks Moon Knight, hides behind the team, and expects everyone else to do the work for him.

It’s gotten to a point where there’s nothing else I can say.
