Hopefully now people will actually bother with trying to escort the payload instead of farting around.

new season is a pita,done my placements which was a mixed bag,with some REALLY bad dps,enemy team has pharmacy,our dps players decides a swich to reaper and symmetra is in order ect.
Got placed higher than my end last season,placed a bunch more games,deffo playing well whole bunch of loses where as zarya im top damage/elims ect.Went full tilt when a a silver winston ended up in a high plat/low diamond game and basically feed for 7 mins on anubis
Like 10-16 or summit tonite,at least i barely lost any SR.Really want to main orisa/zarya/lucio this season,gonna end up doin dps as no1 seems to understand how to kill a phrah.Depressing mang.
On the upside the few rounds i got a widowmaker on my team the were actually decent and switched off when it made sense

Dude, just play comp will you
Stop looking at it as some mega serious game mode where you have to play meta. Just go into comp and play what you enjoy playing.
Gold you mean

I got put off by competitive since I saw people calling out others for playing specific characters in the games I played,and I remember getting jumped on saying its a team game so if we lose or win its the team at fault in reality,as long as we try our best.
But what annoys me about the griefers in mayhem especially(let alone QP) is plenty of people play since you get win bonuses each week(three loot crates),and when you have people literally standing outside spawn doing eff all,or not attempting to win,its basically to annoy other people and waste their time on purpose.
The thing is not even the winning aspect which for me that is the important part,but actually giving a good fight against the other team.
I mean I have been in random groups with other people and they decided screw this and we group left the game,since when 1/3 your team is not really contributing and its a waste of time - you can't do this really that much as you get screwed yourself. Its a group game,and all I see is too many who should not be playing a TEAM game.
I mean they should be playing vs AI and now with DM and custom matches I hope they clear off to those modes. I have played games like UT and UT3 in team modes,D3 in team modes and even TF2,and people were not as bad as some of the lot playing OW.
I also want Blizzard to have a competitive 1V1 DM mode.

I am saying people shouldn't give grief to others in competitive,not that they shouldn't care. Even the idiotic griefers I won't throw abuse at even if they deserve it. If I play in competitive I aim to win,but I won't have a go at someone if we lose. The fact is unless you are like the top 1% in competitive there will be better teams you might encounter,but still try your best.
You aim to win,that is the whole point of being in a group. Its a group game.
Its like being in a football team and just fanning around doing eff all - do you honestly think the team or the supporters will be fine with it??
Trying your best is not sitting in spawn,just running around just outside spawn doing nothing,or farting around with one player way outside the objective whilst achieving nothing,meaning it ends up either being be a 6 vs 5 or 6 vs 4,etc match essentially.
If the game says escort the payload(for example),you have made a conscious decision to enter such a match and do the said objective.
If you don't want to win ON PURPOSE,then play against AI,make your own match or make your own group of six people with mates and agree you want to throw the match for fun. Don't be selfish. If you are playing online as part of a group you should care in ALL modes,as you drag down everyone by griefing,ie,just staying in spawn,or just outside spawn or just ****** around doing nothing. That is just done ON PURPOSE to lose the game without trying.
Maybe such people have endless amounts of time to eff around,which is good for them,but many people don't have gaming time growing on trees either,so its basically saying "la!la!la!la!" as long as I can grief and waste others time I don't care since I have loads of time to play this game anyway,and willing to spend £100s of pounds on loot boxes too.

Wouldn't worry about it, just crack on with them. I had a 5 game win streak followed by 4 losses and a win, got placed at my career high. In the matches we lost, I still got a few golds, so I think it looks more at your individual performance this time around.
You are taking it way too seriously. Play comp, do your best to play as a team, mute voice and chat if it gets to you. If you lose, play the next game. I haven't seen many comp games like you describe.
Got to be honest, I just saw 'huge rant' too, having read your issue with comp was greifing. I kinda stopped there as that's a very small proportion and tbh if you're letting that stop you, well your loss I personally think. Yes, people will moan when someone picks Widow on attack, which I thought was what you were talking about and again, I think is reasonably justified/allowable. (Not full on abuse, but 'really guy? Is that the best pick do you think?' etc)
2152 SR - 4 wins/6 losses. Around the same SR as I ended last season.
To be fair - American servers are still WAY better than euro. Even losing on american servers doesn't feel that bad!
Zen/Junk mains for this season I think. Orisa as well. I'm pretty happy to play anything mind you.

Zen is always strong,Orisa is really good now if you can judge the projectile speed and hit shots consistently ,Junk again is stronk assuming the enemy doesnt have a zarya,its just feeding her charge,if they have a zarya switch of off JR,we will destroy your team lol
If you wanna climb play lucio on KOTH maps,usually you will out heal a mercy or ana,plus you have great dps,boops and a great fight winning ULT.My first placment was at gold too,had a 75% rate with lucio on koth,no1 plays him hes the best healer on that mode,easy SR

I'm enjoying the American region at the minute. Like others have said they don't troll and they chat loads!
I would say that most people ive played with dont take it seriously enough. PTFO or dont queue up. Since a lot in comp or quickplay dont seem to really care about the objective and I certainly can't force them to i've simply stopped playing. I have no problem with bad players as in those who really try but are just not that good, i certainly am not that great, but queuing up in a to a teammatch just to be a douchebag is simply not okay. It's not okay to ruin it for the rest of the team and its not even that great for the opposing team. It is not a good win when your enemy has to deal with such disorder and the victory is just given to you because of it.
It helps that they have a single language that they all speak.
That's a new one on me tbh. Some people pick what doesn't logically seem like a good idea, but I could probably count on one hand, from 400+ hours of play, the times someone has not actually tried to play the objective in comp.
In QP? I would say it's not that big a deal... only because it's QP. Personally I'm not too bothered about winning (although, I do try). It's not like it's a real win or loss anyway, as most game types you on play it one side (attack or defence).
I personally dont care that much about who picks what hero as long as they are open to suggestion from the rest of the team incase they may not know what counters what.
It is a big deal when you, the one getting trolled by the douche, will have to suffer through the match or get a counter towards the xp penalty in QP if you leave to early..
Well if you can take it with a shrug and a "dont care" attitude it will certainly benefit your blood pressure but at the same time i feel its perfectly valid to get upset about something like this when we are talking about a team game that requires a team effort to win.
