Hi guys, hopefully I’ll get some feedback from Black Cat mains who’ll boot camp me into a positive win rate lol!

I am sincerely trying on Black Cat, like really trying. I’ve tried to muscle memory combos and I’ve mapped buttons for the items I find most useful (I’m on console and if anyone has any recommendations for the mapping? I don’t use claw grip if that changes anything). And yet I can’t get anything done. I don’t find myself being useless, I find myself with 9 KOs and 9 finals, but I’m still not bringing value imo. This is a skill issue, but I’m still annoyed that the lobbies don’t get any better? I feel I have no breathing room to effectively learn in a real match.

Like this was 10 straight losses, I lost another after this screen shot (another SVP). I had BP down (stopped playing him), I play Magik, DD and Iron Fist so I think I have some level of mechanical skill I think has translated with being effective on Black Cat and yet the value isn’t there but I’m not going to blame my teammates every game because I mean look at my stats this is on me.

I really don’t like that I just *can’t* play a character. Especially because I really like her kit and the overall dive playstyle. Any tips would be really helpful (even if your advice is I just stop)!

Maybe this is the wrong place, because this is probably just a pure skill issue and to self-pity but I also want to talk about the 4 substitution games.

The 4 substitutions weren’t helping. Each game I loaded into was halfway or more than halfway done with my team being completely stomped. I get people don’t often leave winning games but you’d think that when I’m already on a loss streak I wouldn’t be in a game that’s unwinnable, even if it doesn’t effect my “career stats”.

Where are the bot matches man? And that small window of being loaded into lower lobbies? Maybe it’s happening now because I just got my 1st win… in a lobby of diamonds with one celestial on the other team (I’m Celestial 2 currently). And the small add on, I’m silently trying my butt off and go 27-3 with 16 finals and my Deadpool gets MVP (not really relevant I know the game isn’t going to give me a pity MVP because I’m having a bad day).

Maybe I should just stop, but I really don’t like that I just *can’t* play a character in a video game. Whether it be my own incompetence on them or the fact the game just won’t throw me a bone and give me games that let me have breathing room to really excel.
