I posted around last week (you can check my profile, it’s the post before this one) where I shared a screen shot of my game consisting of me (I was gold 2 I believe), two plat player and two silvers iirc. Back then, the moment I got towards Gold 1, my lobby stated filling with plat/diamond players. Each game would either be them rolling us, or us rolling them with very few close matches.
And in this same week, I have deranked to silver and while I was around gold 5, my lobby would always have silvers and bronze with me being the only gold player.
Can someone please explain this to me? What is the point of comp? Every game, my tank or dps has lvl 5-6 for their highest agent, so why are they allowed to play in gold lobbies? i understand that older players have low levels, but a lot of these low level accounts really feel like new players, no skins, poor ability usage, etc.
I understand the general advice of positioning, healing, damaging and stuff, I am not perfect at it but I do keep it in mind and I feel like I have genuinely improved because I die less frequently now but what am I supposed to do when my dps is 0-5/6 with less damage than supports and tank never takes cover?
I have had games where I have seen a mauga jump off the map while trying to run back. I have seen a cat fall off the map which does not make sense. I have seen tanks ult when no one is around.
I see this advice a lot on reddit, “focus on yourself and make less mistakes” and I totally agree. But it just feels pointless because my tank decides to stand in open taking damage from the enemy team. Every game feels like a scattered 1v1, and it feels so frustrating when people don’t play together.
I am tired of dps who stand next to me asking for heals while there is a health pack right there. I never expect dps or tank to peel me, if I am getting dived, I go brigg and deal with it and protect the other support but then I get called out for playing brigg and not healing team all the time. I get flamed for not healing even tho my healing numbers are comparable to the other support or enemy support, with substantial damage and elims.
I just feel so tired of this match making. All I want is to have players of my skill level playing with me. I either get a smurf who carries the game, or people who are playing their first overwatch game.
Sorry for being negative, I get many people dislike such posts and call it metal ranks coping but it’s just, super tiring because I genuinely love this game. I was so happy when my friends started playing it again but they all quit because the they feel like the matchmaking is totally broken.
Even tho it sucks, I still want to try my best and keep improving. This season, I have had 130 wins and 160 loses appx, so I feel like I can still get back! Any advice on how to improve would be highly appreciated!
