Overwatch

Had a ridiculously long overtime, which we then won and I smashed my previous best kill streak...

good work - I'm on another slide this season so far :(:(.....Can't find a decent team at all that doesn't just break up after 1 loss etc.

My master's didn't last long, it never does every other player in the match is so much better than me.

I was just going solo, I think next time if I get masters again I will look for someone to team up and carry me.

This season has been TERRIBLE for me. LFG is literally swamped with morons, and getting our of my rank seems an impossible task playing support.
 
Another season where dps players just seem to suck.

I'm constantly playing support with Moira/Brig/Zen etc - ridiculous healing 15-20k.

Last game - route 66, defending team are double shielding with Orisa/Rein, and our dps for the entire round was Hanzo and mccree. Shields never went down, could hardly get near them, no switch etc. Easy option was pharah (defending team had no zen, no hitscan) - would anyone change. nope.

Mid gold again - just a horrible place to be. lost my last 6 games and 150SR. Yet average healing in those games was 14k. What more can you do in your role??

Even game before, my team complimented me on my Brig play (got POTG etc) - ended up with silver damage with brig, silver elims, gold healing (our ana was crap) - and we still got smashed cause dps (sym and mcree) killed nothing.

I feel you.

I mainly play support (off - Brig/Moira) but now trying to also play DPS when needed, I find if no one switches (on dps role) to deal with obvious issues like you say, I will.
 
If this game has taught me one thing recently whilst trying to climb back into gold, is that individual performance (elims, healing, medals etc.) means NOTHING unless other more simple gameplay winning factors are prioritised first.

This is now what I focus on more so than my end game stats. If no one is shot calling, I'm now starting to do it. Simple things like "group up dont feed" "combo ULTs?" "calling out low health hero's and positions and tactics.

It annoys the misses, as I used to be so quiet, but since doing this im having better luck.

I don't always get it right, but most of the time it really does work. Lower ranks, people seem to get completely tunnel visioned =- Especially tank and DPS players.

I mainly play support, but playing this role at a lower rank is basically impossible unless the above mentioned core mechanics are stuck to.

Try healing a team effectively as a Moira at my rank, if everyone is EVERYWHERE, trickling in, bad positions etc. etc. Its basically impossible. This is why i think I have slid so hard on competitive.

Yet I refuse to climb out of this rank playing DPS because if i chose DPS, everyone else seems to and no one ever picks support.

And dont even get me started on LFG.
 
I'm up for some groups again if anyone fancies it. I'm mainly playing Zen / Moira / Rein / Orisa now. Tracer if a DPS spot needs filling.

DPS getting tunnel vision and shooting whatever is in front of them, rather than target prioritisation, is a big problem.

What rank are you playing at?

I would be well up for that. I mainly play Moira, Brig and am an "OK" Ana if im with a competent team.

Ive also been practising DPS in QP a fair bit again incase it needs filling - can play most DPS quite well but prefer Tracer, Sombra, Junk, Soldier, and Pharrah (team dependant)
 
I've been playing this again. Only lowly silver in comp.

I think I understand the basics of the game now, I guess it's just a matter of playing now to get better with the heroes I play. Mostly play reaper and soldier but if it's asked for, Rein or Moira.

I really enjoy playing Rein but he's so hit or miss for me. Sometimes I feel like this unbreakable wall of destruction and sometimes my shield barrier lasts for 2 seconds before the team is wiped. I've had my team compliment me on my rein one game, then another team telling me to never tank again. It's definitely me, I'm sure.

I haven't played comp (or Overwatch in general) for a couple of seasons, I think I finished last season at about 2600.

Haven't even tried Wrecking Ball, or the new Sym yet!

*edit* Forgot to say I haven't finished my placement matches for this season yet.
