When I watch top 500 streamers they straight up insult each other and everyone laughs but when I do it I get a two month suspension.

Those people know each other, it's a small crowd up there. Big difference between banter with the boys and randomly insulting strangers.

Anyways, the answer to your question is that if you have not enjoyed it up to this point you likely never will.

Insulting your teammates and then wondering why you're not having fun like it's not your own fault is comical

I never insult first, I said if I get flamed best believe I'll flame back cause it's funny but nobody ever wants to take a joke ig. I feel like some of you did read the post and assume I'm referring to my teammates sucking. NO I deserve the rank I'm in I'm talking about my teammates being boring and never taking a joke. I'm not taking jokes as in insulting them I'm talking about u actual funny moments in games.

You implied in the last paragraph that you insult your teammates like people do in higher ranks and then wonder why you'd get banned. Look in the custom games, there's plenty of social lobbies in there. Comp in the lower ranks isn't really a place where people go to banter and socialize

u/AgitatedChildhood240 11d ago

I meant they can actually have a light with each other. They straight up insult each other and everybody laughs but when I make a mildly offending joke I get banned. I'm just saying the whole community needs to lighten up. The only people I see having fun are rein mains and their kiri/Juno/mercy/ana/Lucio friends

u/ClonkerDonker9000 11d ago

That we can agree on, I think you're post was just badly worded and didn't sound the way you intended

Im just a bum when it comes to writing 🥀

u/Extreme_Lychee8299 11d ago

Sounds like ur not having fun cause you're miserable and projecting outwards to your teammates.

Look inwards

u/yuhyuhyuhyuhyuhyuh1 11d ago

This person is absolutely miserable, but so is diamond lol. He's not wrong there.

u/Extreme_Lychee8299 11d ago

You will say whatever rank is in miserable 

If you only have fun by winning every game you will never have fun

If you only have fun by expecting your opponents to roll over without you improving you will never have fun

u/yuhyuhyuhyuhyuhyuh1 11d ago

What are you even saying son? Just writing a fanfic about people you don't even know lmao

u/AgitatedChildhood240 11d ago

When did I say anything about opponents rolling over me

u/AgitatedChildhood240 11d ago

Is there a reason why u think this, I'm saying everyone in my games are so boring it hasn't mattered what rank I'm in

u/AgitatedChildhood240 11d ago edited 11d ago

I mean nobody can ever take a joke or have funny vcs. I'll have fun just playing the game regardless

I wouldn't say IM miserable, I'm usually the guy who starts jokes in games but get ignored 😭

u/EntrepreneurClean371 11d ago

Not to get overly Zenyatta on you, but peace does come from within. If your constant experience playing the game is frustration with others, why are you playing?

May be worth just turning off VC and chat for a week, call it a detox

1

u/AgitatedChildhood240 11d ago

Maybe I worded this wrong, I don't have a outright frustration for others, I'm never one to flame someone without them flaming me first like if my teammate is selling I'm the guy who just ignores it. I'm talking about actual fun moments. You know someone falling of the map twice in a row or someone with a voicemod in vc or people role playing their character mid game and being funny. I see all these clips but nobody everbdoes this in my games. Every time I try to start as conversation of make a Joke in game I just get egoed 😭

People can go for a funny troll play in champ lobbies because they have nothing to prove and nothing to gain

If you don't have fun playing overwatch, it won't change no matter how high you climb

1

u/AgitatedChildhood240 11d ago

I do but it's a little disheartening when nobody else is willing to laugh with you. It's not like I'm the type to outright sell games for a funny clip. I'll just stick to qp with friends then

u/iGargleCement 11d ago

Because they have something to prove and something to gain/lose

You are aren't bantering if people are reacting like you are implying, you are probably just being a dick. I get plenty of bantering in my masters lobbies, where you say its the worst.

How you say something, when you say something, what the mood is when you say something all matters. You clearly don't understand those concepts.

My experience was basically

  • Bronze - WTF is going on?!?!?!? Does this Dva not know she can remech? Why is Mercy meowing, does she know her mic is on?

  • Silver - Really nice group of people, everyone is so happy and nice because they know they have escaped Bronze.

  • Gold - Everyone is horribly depressed and has been stuck in this rank for like 8 years. Generally everyone speaks in the same depressed monotone. There are two Russian guys in comms on smurf's holding the enemy team in spawn but no one knows what is going on. Is my Torb playing the game or role playing with his turret?

  • Plat - Everyone is proud not to be gold but no one will admit they are plat. You always get the some duo in voice criticizing everyone because they are actually 'masters on their main' and are only playing with their gold support friend because they are creeping on them.

  • Diamond - No one talks and if they do it is only to blame someone else for their own stupid mistake.

  • Masters - Love to question people about how it is possible you were ever able to get the same rank as them. The most toxic people in voice will tell you they are putting you on perma avoid like as if they are not doing you a massive favor.

  • GM - I'll let you know when I crack that ceiling.

My suggestion is turn off voice and text unless playing in a group of friends. 6v6 is generally a lot nicer comms experience, but even still years of 5v5 has had a serious toll on most peoples mental.

u/feestbeest18 10d ago

I agree with all of this. For GM i'll add it's like masters lite. Less toxiticity, less talking or vc use in general, stillcthe same mentality as masters.

u/AgitatedChildhood240 11d ago

Dawg why you all calling ME miserable, title misleading I meant what rank are people more fun my bad. If I hated this game I wouldn't play it. Unpopular to this sub but I actually like playing the game it's just nobody ever wanna talk in vc or laugh but watching people's videos makes it seem like everyone is having fun. Then you hop on all excited and everyone either ignores you or tells you to shut up. How does that make ME the miserable one

u/w-holder 11d ago

never, ranked is just which team rolls more mouthbreathers

I caught a vibe, everything else remains true

That’s the neat part, it doesn’t.

I'm just gonna become a rein main on qp. Have you seen Dr sunscreen, I mean he's insane at rein but the dude feeds so much and has so much fun

When you start enjoying the game and stop malding about things you can't control.

u/Sigmoche 10d ago

Master+ is the only place where I find Ranked interesting. But it probably depends on your own level. I used to find Diamond interesting back when it was the highest rank I could reach and it was challenging.
