You got trapped in a rut. Nothing for it except to just power through and accept that you'll be sub-par until you fix your play.

Switch characters around a lot. Don't play the same character 2 rounds in a row. A full round should be about long enough to start getting into the "habit" of playing that character. Ignore your "mains". Play shit completely out of your comfort zone, even if it makes you look like a shitter.

Obviously, don't do this in ranked, and don't pay any mind to butthurt people.

It's a MOBA. It's not a FPS.

That said it's an alright MOBA, it's kind of like Smite arena. It will entertain the League crowd for sure. I wish there was a FPS version of it because the mechanics are pretty good but I doubt we'll ever get a version without ults/turrets/healers/shields/stuns/etc.

I do agree with you, though. The MOBA elements are very much present in Overwatch, especially when it comes to ranked. I had to check the last 3 threads to make sure I hadn't accidentally opened /lolg/. It's sounded exactly like the start of a new season in League.

Gold medals for eliminations & Objective Eliminations in each game.

Only my latest did I feel I deserve the lost due to their great comp & team work.

The others? Level 60 team mates instalocking Genji AND Hanzo

D.Va switches vs. soldier 76's and one guy who decided Torb on control points is a great idea.

>>
>>146944201
There's no measure of 'skill' beyond being able to win. Beyond that, who is to say what stat is worth more? Is objective time better than damage? How much damage with worth objective time. If it's giving more points to gold/silver/bronze medals, does a gold with 1 more damage than silver give the same as gold with 1000 more damage? Is damaging rein's shield the same as damaging rein himself?
Grading based off winning is the only good system.
>>
>>146944310
Whoever makes these really needs to start using larger sample sizes. Using data from two days of one tournament doesn't really do much to make me think one way or another.

I hate to say it, but I think League does the ranking system better. A straight up number slider from 1 to 100 is too simplistic, there's just too little gradation.

There's a reason ELO goes from 1-2400, and League puts you into divisions that you can't drop out of once you've reached them unless you just don't play for like six months.

Please refrain from telling /vg/ this, because all you're doing is confessing that you are a genuinely shit player who has very minimal impact.

If you lose but have played well, you lose a small amount. If you win and played well, you can gain up to an entire rank.

Eh, her ult could stand to have a longer period of charging up. I wouldn't feel bad about having to wait a minute between revives.

Had voting highlights in all 10 of them, either with %healing or %rezzes. Overall performed really fucking well I'd say, except the last match where I picked Symmetra for King's Road defense and it was such a stomp I had gold medal with 7 kills.

It was a good rank too. I just don't care anymore. I'm probably as good as I'm ever going to be with the heroes I find fun, I have every skin/emote/whatever worth a shit, I don't have any interest in grinding 300 golden gun points, and honestly the game kind of sucks.

Holy fucking shit, these placement matches have been the most painful time I've had in this game.

>forced to play support or Rein 80% of the time because no one else will
>fucking bastion on attack Anubis
>enemy Hanzo getting to freeplink arrows at us for a whole game from a balcony in full sight of everyone (we had a D.Va)
>no one giving a shit about Reapers and Genjis buttfucking our backline
>everyone running in alone
>everyone either not communicating at all or acting like a tryhard faggot while playing like shit

I'm 1 and 4 at this point. What am I supposed to do here other than git gud? I can't support these retards and I can't carry this shit.

Anon, the win% from your placement games literally doesnt matter
it looks at how well/poorly you perform in each game

Ideally we expect a player to reach their 'true' rank after a good number of games, so if you're a solo player good and bad teams should even out. As for pre-mades, it's my personally opinion that they should have a group MMR rather than several solo ones, but I have no idea how blizzard's system works in this regard.
