      @@mittensbro Yeah no, that’s exactly what happened with a doomfist I was playing with last night. Mf would be at like 50 health, I’d start healing, get him to maybe 100-150, then he’d just jump completely out of my LOS to 1v5 the enemy team even though it was completely unnecessary, die, repeat.
      There was no hero I could really switch to so I could dive with him and keep him alive either, since my mains are Mercy, Moira, and Ana and he would ALWAYS find a way to either break LOS if I was healing from a distance, dodge the orb I would specifically send to heal him, or just straight up abandon me if I dove in to save him.
      That last one also happened a few times. Where he’d be close to dying, I’d dive in, get him to at least half and keep heals on him so he would pretty much be guaranteed to survive, but he’d still jump super far away and suddenly id be dead in the water

Like, you KNOW where I am because there's a big ass beam linking us and you, willingly, put a wall between us. That's on you buddy. I can't beam or fly through a physical wall.
      Like if I'm playing Zen or Ana, fair enough, but if I'm Mercy, there's no excuse for that. Mercy's Heal is a fat ass yellow beam. There's no excuse for not knowing where your Mercy is, especially if YOU are the one being pocketed.

    As someone who's been in plat since OW1's release: yeah.
    I feel what often makes/breaks a lot of games in solo queue is the plethora of people you have to cooperate with. Some games go really well because everyone understands when to engage/disengage, when to assist their teammate, will take responsibility for a poor choice and recalibrate, etc.
    Other games end up a miserable loss because there's no synergy, be it in the team composition or the player understanding, and oftentimes players blame everyone around them or a specific person. There's also the probability of getting a leaver/griefer who'd rather take the loss/penalty instead of engaging in self discipline.
    I'm guilty of this mentality, it's why I've been in plat for almost 7 years. I'm guilty of wanting to give up, wanting it to be over just to try again, or feeling like I've done nothing wrong in certain matches. It's hard to break that mindset, especially after logging 1200+ hours into a game. However, for the first time this year, I hit Diamond, and I felt incredible. All because I put my head down and listened to the advice pros teach. High rank streamers, pros, and professional coaches stress the importance of the mindset. Yes, some may be more naturally talented at the game than others, but it's not impossible to get up there yourself.
    You have to be willing to grow your mentality to climb the ranks, to push yourself beyond your comfort zone and learn how to think like a team, communicate, and challenge yourself by honing mechanical skills, game/map awareness, and so on.
    Most of all, trust yourself, trust your team, and just have fun. At the end of the day, it's just a game.
    Anyways that's enough spewing nonsense. Thanks for the upload Flats.

      The comp system had me as a silver 1 tank and silver 1 support. The games would be immensely different if I queued tank vs sup.
      Now that season 4 hit my tank role jumped to plat, havnt lost yet about to hit diamond on it. Support went down to silver 3, still can't get a single win. Getting more elims and dmg than the tank or dps. It is kind of funny tbh

    • @madtonesbr
      @madtonesbr Рік тому +6

      It's just luck for a bit. I have been Gold 1 in support several times and deranked to bronze after inactivity. On the climb back up there were stretches where I go 5-6, 5-8 several times in a row because of crappy matchmaking (multiple "diamond challenger" flairs on the other team while I'm in silver) or just teams that won't take the point unguarded or take out an easy mercy who revives the tank 4 times a match. Or just some noob like one support or one DPS who ends up with only 800 damage or healing in the match. Sometimes I'd go like 5-6 and still rank up a number. Slowly but surely teams got better and the competition got real. This latest season silver was a real slog, stroke of luck while Season 1 was easy for me, again likely just because of a lucky batch of games with competent teammates or games where the OTHER team got a shitty noob or someone left.
      To support the idea that it's luck - Blizzard has stated you can be matched within two divisions of your MMR (!!!!). And they acknowledged a bug recently that said the matchmaking was showing even greater matched disparity - Three divisions? That means a Diamond can end up matching with a silver!!! And MMR is not necessarily your displayed rank. So you can be a gold-caliber player and end up matched with a team of bronze noobs playing a hero for the first time for fun. When they're that bad there's nothing you can do to carry them as support.

      I'd say try playing a support that can carry a bit easier like Moira or Ana. Bap is great but he can't carry teams easily unless you're hitting those headshots very reliably and getting 2+ picks quickly each fight. At least that's my experience. I've climbed out of the trenches with Moira just making stupid backing plays because in low ELO teams don't react effectively enough, or they chase too hard when you retreat

    I don’t miss being in plat tbh I win a lot more games now that I’m diamond cause everyone plays a lot smarter and my team actually works to help keep me safe in the back when I’m support (mostly if I’m mercy) a lot of tanks are very aware as well and the DPS positioning is so much better. I had a game as mercy that I didn’t die once cause my Dps and tanks were so aware of their Surroundings like I swear they heard any micro foot step it was crazzzy

As a fellow masshole, your content and personality was a perfect fit for someone who’s been playing Overwatch casually since launch. I’ve never been much one for watching twitch streams, but it’d be hard to find one of your uploads that I haven’t watched. I think I speak for more than just myself here when I say thank you for keeping my passion for both this game and community alive, you’ve been a shining beacon of content even when the devs wouldn’t deliver any. You’ve done a better job drawing me back to the game I love than anyone else, thank you.

    Me and my friend are duo supports and climbing through plat is pure unfiltered chaos. Tanks believing we can outheal the dmg, damage running into the open arms of a team to fight a 1v5 or simply dodging our heals when we’re right behind them…pain. Half the time we’re the only ones left standing and it’s a mad scramble back to spawn or to hold point whilst aggressively healing one another.

    Plat players and not having cohesive team fights -name a better duo lmao.
    Reason they feel so slow, is because people trickle into- and out of fights. Very rarely do you have a collective push, you'll see one person dare their way in from a flank and half commit, then a couple seconds later the tank pushes, then they pull back due to low resources but the other dps who was late to the party is full on resources still and wants to go in swinging, so you get this weird sensation of not truly fighting a full team, like, ever. And time-to-kill is also super low due to this fact since it means focus fire of any degree is void. Not happening.
    Then add on top aim inconsistency and everything just ends up feeling like an rng setup where you never really know where things are gonna progress (or regress, like when you saw them all just inexplicably back off right before you used your Kitsune rush lol).
    All of this multiples exponentially the further down the ranks you go. Diamond you just get people with good aim, Masters you start seeing some degree of cohesiveness in team fights and legitimate pressure and tempo, and only in GM do you get the feeling that there are actually two teams on either side, not just 5 grouped deathmatch players distributed with two team colors and no friendly fire.

For example, ranked distribution in League, Apex, and Valorant are all highest in bronze and silver. OW is just basically somehow boosted. Idk how. Dont ask me
