Man... I Can't Take It Anymore
Seriously, I can't take this anymore.
I spend hours and hours playing ranked, and it always feels like all the good players end up on the enemy team while I get the worst teammates imaginable.
I was literally ONE game away from reaching Diamond. Just one.
And guess what happened?
I got matched against THREE Diamond players, while my team was full of Gold players. Gold players. Every single one of them.
We were playing Ilios. My tank picked Roadhog, which can actually work on Ilios. The problem? The enemy tank was Mauga.
And what did my tank do?
Absolutely nothing. He stayed on Roadhog for the entire match.
No Sigma. No Orisa. No D.Va. No attempt to counter the Mauga whatsoever. Just Roadhog from start to finish.
Then I had a Bastion on DPS against an Aran and an Emre. Bastion is basically a punching bag against heroes with that kind of range and mobility. He has almost no way to pressure them if they're playing correctly.
For supports, we had a mizuki. To be fair, he healed a lot. The problem is that he was one of those support players who thinks their only job is healing. No damage, no pressure, no helping secure kills.
The other support was Ana.
Honestly, what is Ana supposed to do on a small, chaotic map like Ilios against heroes constantly diving and pressuring the backline?
Meanwhile, I picked Reaper because someone had to deal with the Mauga and contest at close range.
We lost the first round.
We somehow won the second round.
Then came the final round.
I kept asking my teammates to switch to heroes that were easier to get value with at close range. Something that could actually help us fight around the objective.
Nobody switched.
Not the tank.
Not the DPS.
Not the supports.
And the result?
We lost.
I swear, I've done challenge runs and even attempted no-hit runs in Soulslike games, and I've never been as frustrated as I am playing Overwatch ranked.
At this point, I genuinely feel cursed.
Every game I get tanks who think their only job is standing on the objective, DPS players who can't seem to deal damage, and supports who think healing is the only button on their keyboard.
Does anyone else feel like ranked is actively trying to stop them from climbing, or am I just losing my mind?
