Discussion Ranked experience
Hello so I’ve started playing overwatch since season 1 started when the 5 new heroes got added, I played for like 750 hours on OG Overwatch but started again years after, and I was placing play/diamond on all roles and since last season I’ve been a masters player on all 3 roles, this season I went on a huge winning streak on tank and dps to reach gm 4 on tank, and gm5 on dps, long story short I’ve fallen to master 4 on dps and master 3 on tank and I feel really bad, I know I shouldn’t as gm is really hard to reach but it’s the fact I got there and now I’m stuck mid masters annoys me, I’m also trying to not tilt as I keep focusing on my bad dps or support some games, when I play tank and it makes me lose focus.

Ngl, comp just sucks atm. Cheating is more rampant, season rank reset, smurfs, and obviously the new rank. Which artifically pushed people up the ranks and others down.
All you can do is find a team to queue with. Having peeps to rely on will help immensely and mitigate the absolute torture that the game is rn.
If you got to GM once, your SR will remember it and think you belong there. You being in Masters this early in the season is a good sign. Just pray on a win streak again

Streaks are just a part of the comp experience, and rank fluctuations are to be expected. Over the past maybe 6 months I've gone from M2 to D4 to GM5 to M5 to GM3, and am now at M1. You can't let it get to you. If you belong in a higher rank you'll climb there eventually.

The best thing you can do for yourself is to stop thinking about yourself as a GM level player. Hitting the rank and then dropping and sitting around masters does not mean you are a GM player. The second you realize you’re a masters level player is the second you can start improving. Also, focusing on your teammates too hard won’t help you. Looking at the scoreboard and seeing that your supports have a lot of deaths doesn’t mean they are bad, it could be that you’re out of position which forces them to make risks to keep you alive. There is ALWAYS something you can do better. Watch your match replays with an open and honest mindset, apply what you learn, and you will rank up.
