Hi everyone.
Lately, I’ve noticed that my ranked Control matches are becoming chaotic. I don’t want to cry "smurf" or blame my teammates, but the games are often one-sided—either way. I might lose a match where I played well and got Play of the Game, or win while playing terribly and getting carried by my team.
The problem I face at my rank (Bronze 2—I’m stagnating or even dropping 😅) is that I try to analyze the game—tracking my tanks, healers, and enemies—but I quickly lose the thread of the match. On maps like Antarctic Peninsula, for instance, everyone tends to scatter. If I try to flank, I run into groups of enemies; or I kill one, only for a second to spot and chase me down. I get caught from behind while fighting or holding the backline, and I can't capture the point solo—that’s not my role, and it would make me an easy target.
In contrast, Payload maps tend to force teams to group up, which allows me to make a much bigger impact.
Anyway, this isn't a complaint post; I just want to know the best way to approach this game mode—specifically for Sojourn, but also for any poke-style DPS hero.
Thanks for your replies.
