I’m currently hard stuck at gold 5. I have played the game (not seriously) for a long time and wasn’t too bothered by my rank but I am now trying to actually improve my skills and climb. At my rank I frequently get placed with brand new players who will have 5 hours on their most played character and seem to fundamentally have no idea how the game is played. Does anyone have advice for playing around people who are just hard feeding all game? I have pretty limited time to play overwatch and when I get on competitive for 3 games and have players who just walk in and die for 2 of those it’s becoming quite frustrating. I know that all I can control is my own gameplay and I am working on that part but it can feel hopeless sometimes when I don’t have time to just grind all day and when I do play it feels like you don’t have a team in a team based game.

​I think I’ve let my team down.

​As a Ramattra main, I wanted to be the one to lead my team to victory and rank up. However, I did them no favors by not tanking well, taking space incorrectly, and engaging in the wrong fights. I played without a real plan, which led to us losing two games in a row.

​What a disgrace to all Ramattras and, by extension, all Omnic mains out there.

​I started playing the game at the end of Season 20. I really like Ramattra and enjoy his entire kit-especially the staff-but I’ve been stuck in Silver since last season, and I feel like I’m never going to rank up.

Borderline Masters for clarity here.

Every game I've played against a Hazard, this man is just invincible.

Fairly short CD on high mobility, wall climb with no CD, block that also does damage that can heal with the perk, burst potential to just delete most squishies, fairly powerful ultimate that goes through walls with a wide range, wall on CD to cut off heals/save himself/block ults/do damage, boop on leap for disruption/clearing high ground, fairly strong neutral with just his primary.

People usually say "just stun him" but then he can block all the follow up damage so this often doesn't work. I've had success with Rein charging him but this doesn't work on maps with verticality as he'll just play up and away from me. Hog is often banned still but he seems like one of the few reliable counters.

I had a Route 66 game that was especially egregious as he was able to just hold the high ground by the arch all game. If we try to move up to take it he can just boop us off. If we get him off he just climbs back up. If we try ignoring him and taking the gas station he'd just dive our less mobile supports and the team collapses. He died once with 30+ kills.

Anyway, what's the best strategy into him? He seems to have an answer for almost anything and very few weaknesses when the map is right for him. I imagine he isn't great on long poke maps like Circuit so let's assume it's a more favorable map for him instead.

E: I just saw he has a 55% winrate from Gold all the way to Champion, so he may very well just be that strong.

I'm a support main, but I really want to play tank. Mainly Hazard since the few games I had tried him he's pretty fun and I like his kit, but damn I die fast and alot and I know it's mainly my fault but I can't seem to get better, I don't think positioning is horrible but morely cool downs are my problem.

Do yall have any tips or just some general advice to help me improve?

as the title suggests, i am curious which hero is the strongest when mastered. not accounting for meta but based on their kit and potential of it. which is the best for all 3 roles. my guesses would be tracer, doomfist and anna but i am curious to find out what you guys think. if you have any games that you remember where you encountered a great player at a certain hero tell me.
