Returning player, in silver. I’m running into this problem frequently when I’m playing tank aaaaaand, everyone on my team seems to just be standing behind me getting nothing done.

I end up just having to stand in front of my team to have a chance at survival because every time I try to push up, genuinely no one follows me. I’m not even talking about deep pushes, I mean like, around corners. My team seems entirely incapable to secure unless I’m part of it.

I can be a bit overzealous sometimes and push to far, those deaths are obviously my fault. But what am I supposed to to about an enemy team that just kill balls around each other and nothing is happening on my end of the team, we’re all just shooting the tank. It’s incredibly frustrating because I’m literally typing in chat, “stop focusing the tank”

I had a genji and an Andean standing in front of me trying to kill the enemy Orisa? It was terrible, Ifelt helpless. Queueing as tank in silver makes me feel helpless…

Some of us care way too much about winning and our rank. It makes you tilt and holds you back so much. Just be okay with losing and learn instead.

I dropped back to gold a while ago and got stuck between gold/plat5 for a long time. Finally started climbing again after I stopped giving a damn and just play, thanks to this coach's advice. It's surprising what you can get away with by making risky plays and ego dueling people. When I don't care about losing anymore suddenly I'm winning. Even when you lose, you now have an excellent replay to learn from. Was it a macro error; eg were you in a bad position, was it bad timing because you went in before your team was fighting? Or was it a good play but your aim just wasn't good enough (micro error)? You will stagnate if you play safe.

You have to stop caring about winning every game. Care about your skill rather than rank. Go fight people and lose to build resilience against tilting so you can start learning instead. Ranking up is the eventual byproduct of improving. Trust me, you'll hit your rank goal eventually.

New player.

Genuinely infuriating losing almost every single game no matter how hard I try. I almost always come out of most matches with top eliminations and damage, but I can barely get any wins. 90% of the losses are complete stomps and the other ones are super close and I never win those either.

Nobody can ever tell me exactly what is I am doing wrong when I ask for help either, it's just your typical r/Overwatch redditor response of "scoreboard stats mean nothing, ur bad, enjoy losing lol" so I came here instead.

Currently playing Emre and Junkrat in quickplay just trying to learn the ropes. I'm not going anywhere near competetive because I can guarantee you I will be hardstuck in Bronze because winning is near impossible. Plus I'd rather not subject myself to people screaming at me for not being good. For reference, my win rate on Hazard, who I'd eventually like to be able to get good with, is literally 17%.

Any help would be appreciated.

I’ve had my PC for about two months now, and honestly, the transition is currently kicking my teeth in.

I’ve spent most of my time playing Minecraft, which was fine, but I recently jumped into Overwatch and I feel like I’ve never played a video game in my life. On console, I’m a Baptiste main with 45-60% accuracy and around 30% crit. On PC? I’m lucky if I break 29% accuracy. It’s embarrassing. I’m Diamond on my console account, but I’m getting my bit kicked from silver right now. Although, to be clear, I’ve only played like 15 games, but it got so frustrating that I had to stop and ask for advice. I know what I’m supposed to in a terms of game sense. Unfortunately, my mechanical skills cannot hope to follow.

My mechanical skill is non-existent right now.

These are the things I’m struggling with:

Keyboard Clumsiness: I keep misclicking E when I’m trying to reload (R). Even worse, when I’m trying to strafe, I’ll forget my finger is on D while pressing A and I just... stop moving in the middle of a fight. I also keep accidentally hitting Space when I’m reaching for abilities. I know I could just rebind my abilities to my mouse side buttons, but I feel like that’s just evading the problem. I want to actually get good at using a keyboard.

Sensitivity Struggles: I’m at 1600 DPI and 8% in-game sens. If I go any lower, I feel like I can’t track anyone, and they leave my LOS before I can even turn. I’m primarily a wrist aimer. I’ve heard arm aiming is the best way to aim, but it feels so unnatural.

Is this just a "play more" situation, or am I fundamentally doing something wrong? How did you guys get through this phase when switching from controller?

Are there any specific drills or settings that can make my aim and movement seem less like a toddler?

Help a brother out before I go back to my controller in shame.

Does anyone else have this problem with other heroes? I'm not bad with other DPS, but I feel like I'm stuck at a Masters level with them.

With Cassidy, I just destroy everything, I feel unstoppable. When he gets banned, I struggle to have the same impact and end up feeling useless, to keep climbing I need to be extremely good with three different DPS?
