If I ever do Comp again it's only going to be with a pre-made full team of six where everyone has a mic

But I'm probably not going to bother cause Comp in this game is the textbook definition of a Sisphyean task

pc bronze comp is fine, certainly nothing like LoL or valorant

The problem with this approach is then you get matched against other six stacks that stomp you repeatedly and then you and your friends end up hating each other.

Moralists don't really *have* beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child's toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded.

I think people in Bronze have generally made peace with their badness. People in the higher tiers are all tryhards with delusions of being a Master-levrl player that the rest of their team is holding back. I shudder to think about playing comp with other Platinum players again.

I only play mystery heroes anymore. I don't think I could touch comp without muting all the chat in advance, but of course doing that means you're going to get people throwing because they're mad that you're not in comms, so I don't see the point.

I don't consider myself great, but I do think I at least have a decent basic grasp on how to play the game and most of the characters, the problem is a lot of the people I get paired up with are just stupid on a near cosmic level

I think its more that everyone at every level is bad (worse than gm). People that have been playing for a long time are at peace with their badness. New people all think they are going to skyrocket to GM.

The problem with gold/plat is that is where everyone starts. Lots of new folks. You also get all of people that reject that they are bronze and buy a new account to reset SR. They are super salty.

I've been playing as rein and just trying to see how much damage I can block, at my QP matchmaking level it's brushing up against 20k in something like rialto.

I'm coincidentally getting a real good feel for leading the flamestrike but rein is way more chill and fun to play when you're not just acting like Fat Genji and charging in unsupported.

There are still people in pc bronze with delusions of being a master-level genji, but it's really fuckin easy to troll them by just asking them why they are here in the lowest form of overwatch possible, even below quickplay

I think part what ties into it is people think "Hey, I'm way better than I used to be!"

Well, so is everybody else. You're placed exactly where you should be.

I have a lot of trouble working out what the gently caress is the difference between getting completely rolled and actually winning a game so I just assume it's my dumbass self loving something up, even if it's not

EDIT: I'm also really noticing the Ana changes, the amount of times I've watched someone die while I was reloading...

On the other hand sometimes you have to Fat Genji to get your team to push, it's a balance really

If I get put into a game as a healer and I see a Genji or Rein I'm absolutely gonna be grabbing zen, the discord orb helps make up for only having 1 dps and the transcend covers for the lack of a shield.
