Before I start this isn’t a “why are my tanks/dps/supports throwing my games” rant

It feels like I’m the only one taking high ground most games. The enemy team then contests me (fighting an enemy for high ground is fine ) but I’m the only one. I understand sometimes people have bad games, you get out played etc but Some times my team mates never look back, never look up, and never take control of high ground. I know how to rank up and I’m not complaining about my rank. I just want peoples thoughts on this. How do you play a high ground centric maps and stay on the ground all match? Only do you only go forward or die to things you have that, not only have been warned about ,but repeatedly get punished by it.(like don’t go into a small room with a junk rat not counter watch stuff). I don’t get.

I try to just do call outs like “ this guy doesn’t have *X CD*” “this guy is here” or “we really need to take this space they are shooting us in the back( usually high ground)” ultimately I’m alone trying to contest space that we have to take. I use the knowledge of “superior positioning” to win my games but I rarely see my team mates do the same. How do you out play an entire team out positioning your team? I don’t want it to sound like I’m making excuses for my rank , i just needed to vent because watching people do the stupidest things imaginable takes its toll. Today on Dorado I watched a diamond 4 Ana face tank an Orisa on defense first point next to the building in front of the spawn doors. How do people with horrendous positioning rank up?

What is really confusing is when these same people are confused on why we are losing. I explain it to them so they don’t get tilted but it’s like they don’t have eyes or any kind of situational awareness. It’s more evident when I play support. I use to hate LifeWeaver but now I understand how/why people rank up with him and started playing him (he is actually fun to play). Saving stupid people character design W😂. I needed to rant, thank your time GL on your games

Hi there,

so I've been playing the Torb lately and having a blast, he is fun and also just 1 Cat big. Anyway I got some problems on maps where you have to capture a point. In this scenario the enemy controlls the Point and just plays very defensivly.

What should I do with the Turret in such a case?

If they aint flankingy my Turrent on the back is useless and putting it in the front to shoot get it destroyed quickly. Later on it get's easier with the perk for longer throw range + sticky on walls, where I just place it behind the enemy when the fight starts but before that I feel that my turrent either does nothing or gets destroyed too fast.

Was watching the recent Spilo interview with Gavin Winter, and Gavin made a comment about quickplay having day to day decay. I’m really not sure how to interpret what he was saying there. What does day to day decay even mean? My mmr the following day is lower than where it was the day before? Or maybe im taking it too literally? Gavin if you’re around could you clarify perhaps?

It happens at around 2:17:34 mark
