At least once a day, there will be someone opening match chat to whine about something that didn’t go their way within the first 30 seconds (usually blaming the tank for everything), followed by them throwing the match by either giving up or spending too much time typing (on console).

Even when the team is otherwise doing great and getting a good push off, it’s always one guy who starts whining and then that tilt causes them to visibly & noticeably start performing worse. They tear the whole team down and next thing you know, nobody even cares to win anymore because it would help THAT guy.

What can even be done? I deal with this so often in my gold DPS lobbies that it’s literally a 50:50 chance of someone crying to match chat or straight up leaving altogether; I don’t see it anywhere near as often in my plat+ games (or wide matches played w my friends).

It’s just so aggravating because we’ll literally be winning till someone wants to tear the team apart. Sure is funny how it’s always the guy with the lowest heals, assists, etc.

Howdy. I’ll do my best to keep this brief. I came back to OW in 2026 S1 and found myself loving Ashe. She seems to be the hero I understand the most & can tolerate tilting on, simply because her kit is so satisfying to use.

I’ve been trying to break my awful habit of one-tricking her & playing someone else, but I often find myself unsure of who to pick and when to swap. I try to usually choose someone that can compliment my team’s comp, but sometimes that doesn’t seem to work in my favor.

Forgive my ignorance, but how do y’all know who to pick & when to pick them? What factors influence your decision?

Side note; Any advice on how to build more consistency in OW in general is always appreciated. Been sucking a lot this season whereas I was doing pretty dang well last season
