I’ve been forced to only play practice vs ai currently because I can’t do anything in QP. I’m a new player and I’m on about a 10 game loss streak in QP and don’t stand a chance at all. We get spawn trapped or curb stomped every single game. I’m trying to unlock ranked so I can get better quality matches but I can’t seem to win at all in QP or arcade for that matter. I’m very defeated right now between losing over and over by people with comp borders around their name playing characters over level 100 when I have no characters over level 6. And my teammates usually are all in the same boat as me— under level 10 characters. Why is this game putting brand new players against these comp beasts? How do I fix this?

I saw a random video come across my recommended today and I saw the Winthrop Uni team and I thought it was weirdly stacked. At one point Tr33, s9mm, coluge, rakattack, zeruhh, ultraviolet, and infekted. I know most of them are in team liquid but it’s gotta be weirdly stacked for college.

In a way - it's a good thing that people don't necessarily agree on what roles are most important because it seems to suggest that they are all pretty important - it seems to suggest that maybe different roles and characters fluctuate as to how important they are from year to year even. On the other hand, I'm trying to figure out what role allows you to exert the most influence over a match and becaue there is no concensus on this - I'm at a loss.

I think it used to be agreed upon that dps was the most important but that was a long time ago.

How would you guys rank the three roles in terms of importance and how wuld you rank the roles as far as difficulty as well?

Code: K6T8WN Map: Route 66 Username: Yuqi (Tracer)

So I've been getting back into OW after having a case of burnout with MR and i've decided to pick Tracer up instead of soldier which is my usual go to pick. So at the moment im Plat 5 but i've been fluctuating between Plat 4 and Gold 1. I sent 2 VODs but if had to decide which one i would pick the Route 66 one cause it felt like i was doing almost nothing after our first round cause the enemy soldier kept me in check a lot of the time, in hindsight maybe i shouldn't have engaged on him too much cause i kept dying over and over. It felt like i was a molecule having no impact in both of those games and im not too sure what to improve on. (For the title, yes i know its me)

So one of the things i've been trying to train on tracer is to apply kevster's principle but i'm not too sure if im doing it right or not, basically what i've been doing is to get attention and bait cooldowns when they're grouped up and going for kills when they're separated. I have a few questions regarding Tracer specifically though:

1. Im not too sure when to go in, i know the general rule is to go in when your teammates are also fighting but im having a pretty difficult time on how to know when i should go in. At the moment im decide if my tank and their tank are committing to a fight and if so then i go in.

2. This might be a me thing but do i instantly have to blink and go to the backline? cause what i had in mind was that i should start in the frontline taking short off angles and moving my way to their backline.

3. This one is only specific to the Route 66 game but should i have went and swapped off of tracer? cause my other DPS was really really mad at me for not swapping (even added me post game) and saying that i only have 10k dmg 4 rounds in. Since i know Tracer's value isn't easily seen in the scoreboard but also in what situation should i swap off of Tracer?

I’m just curious, I’m not ever going to be the guy that says bad game or throw a fit in chat. I’m only typing this because I just had a game where our tank left instantly and the game ended in 10 seconds, someone still typed gg. To me gg means everyone showed up, was respectful to each other, and gave it their all.

I used to play around 3900 SR in OW1 with my Genji. However getting back into it, i feel extremely slow and that I am just playing bad, but i cannot figure out what exactly i need to improve on.

If I had to guess, I need to die less, and find better angles to kill? My blades are absolutely disgusting to witness. Do I just need to play more? Any piece of advice is appreciated. Would especially love any kind of mechanical advice on my genji.

Ingame Name is: Cleave

As the title ask, im just wondering about wether this game was directly on me or if you all believe I did my part and it was some of the team slacking.

When the match first started, the mercy said we were trash for some reason, it’s right when I get on point. I think he later changes idk when, but I remember there’s a small point where we only have one healer.

You might instantly think, “oh yea, having one healer it was just a team thing” but honestly I think we were doing pretty well. I just feel there might have been some slight difference that caused us to lose when we had an opportunity to win multiple times, especially at the end.

Anyways here’s the replay code: KD3TYC

it’s my most recent. It’s high plat, I don’t think think there was any diamonds in there. I’ve been kinda coasting through plat pretty easily.

Edit: forgot to mention I was the ramatra. Totally slipped my mind sorry. :p
