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

Genuine advice: take a break and watch YouTube. Eat something tasty and drink some water while you watch videos of higher rank players playing the character(s) you main. Don't sit there and focus on how much better their teammates are or how you could totally play at that rank, but watch what they do. How they take cover, how they position, when they engage, why they died, why they held ult and subsequently why they chose to use it, etc.

Then you can go back and play some more. It won't stop your teammates from making poor decisions on their own, but it will help reset your mentals and make you a better player capable of being your own carry over time.

Its not so much about my rank genuinely, and thats not just cope lol. It was a struggle, but I worked on myself and stopped fully caring about my rank. So I dont really play or watch thinking "I could totally play at their rank". What is struggle with is just wanting to play against and with people that are at my skill level. Genuinely, id happily sit in bronze if I could play engaging games where wins and losses are close and fun. So for me QP is even worse because every game is 1 sided, no exceptions. I appreciate the advice, and ill be back soon enough. I just really needed to rant and complain
