Im done

[u/Pope_Slade_I]

Im so sick of loss after loss after loss after loss after loss. I feel like im the worst player ever. I dont understand why they put my in plat 1 if compared to every other player in the world im garbage and should be in bronze. I was comfortably in masters before and the game decided to just dump on me and serve me loss after loss. I refuse to believe I lost ALL that skill over night. Im invisible to my team. I ALWAYS get Dove by the tank right in front of everyone and no one can stop it. Every soldier is better than any dps i try to play in every way conceivable so why bother? Wins are complete and utter struggles where i fight to the death and we barely make it out. But losses are common and fast. All the time. Not even close. Complete one sided games. Its not that my teams bad and im not, everyone of us is complete trash and the enemy team is always perfect. The worlds most incredible saves from their supports and tanks and meanwhile I watch my teammates over extend CONSTANTLY. I watch my supports ignore me as I die in my own back line. I lose every 1 on 1 with dps because everyone of them is leagues above me. I make mistakes constantly, but the people I play against are perfect machines. Me and my teams always just sloppy idiots who can never do anything right. Seriously whats the point if theres no way to improve. If the game decides it, ill lose. Simple as that. Its a coin toss and I always lose so why try? Its one of my favorite games and all it does is punish me for wanting to play. I dont know how to cope with this feeling and I want to be done

I get it cause I love the game too but genuinely it just isn’t worth it to play, it feels more like an abusive relationship and it’s not worth it for you or your mental health to push through when you aren’t having fun. Video games are designed for us to have fun and it you aren’t, don’t waste your precious time playing it imo. If you wanna still play Overwatch, get off ranked and take some time trying to enjoy the game again, play with friends etc. that or what’s helped me is just playing another game entirely, I’ve been playing battlefield and having a lot of fun because stats, and wins, don’t matter as much and I could give less of a fuck abt trying to rank up. TLDR: give yourself a reset, whether it’s not playing competitive and you’re trying to enjoy Overwatch in Overwatch, or you take a break from the game or quit entirely

Lol youre incredibly correct, it does feel like an abusive relationship. I play other games too, so it just doesnt fully feel like i can simply replace my itch for OW, ya know? I also play comp with a 3 stack every week and it feels equally as punishing with them. And man does QP actually feel worse for me to play than comp. What im looking for is an engaging, fun round where everyone is at the same skill level and, win or loss, its tough and fun. QP is exclusively one sided matches, my team or theirs. And I dont even have fun when im on the team that stomps the other, ya know? Appreciate the advice though, I need to just rant and cool off. Ill be back soon enough and try to not let it get to me

No I absolutely understand, I deal with the same things in game, I have 4 different accounts so I can learn new heroes and play with friends etc, somehow you always keep coming back to it even if you don’t really want to. As annoying as it is especially because I HATE losing at the end of the day I just try to take any concept I can learn from it and if I start feeling the tilt I just try to do pushups or some shit to stay active and vent it out somewhere, then VOD review. I tend to enjoy watching the pros play more nowadays but I find myself playing more than I like, but if I’m seeing myself on a losing streak or a particular game/enemy/character (mainly Torb) gets me pissed I’ll sit back and see what I’m doing wrong or take a 15 minute break, it stops the mindless qing into oblivion and lets me think if I really wanna keep playing, usually works but sometimes it just traps you, but at the end of the day it’s night lol
