So I came back to the game with the relaunch and have been really enjoying QP and Stadium. I tried a Ranked match, but honestly the match length threw me off a bit since I’ve gotten used to the shorter QP games.

That said, I just noticed that Ranked mentions Solo Queue players get matched with other Solo players or narrow groups. If that’s actually the case, I’m wondering if it might make sense to replace QP with Ranked for my regular games. In theory I'd be playing against people closer to my level and in my rank, which could reduce one-sided stomps, and I already tend to play pretty seriously anyway.

What do you all think?

And no, this does NOT mean that I keep getting shitty teammates. I mean that I get competent teammates who know what they're doing and have reasonable skill, but the enemy is SIGNIFICANTLY more skilled. They're not just better than me in particular. There's an obvious skill gap between my whole team and the whole enemy team. They have superior aim, reaction time, positioning, teamwork, etc. There's no overlap between the best player on my team and the worst player on their team

When I reach a rank where my skills can't take me any higher, I kind of expect it to just fluctuate up and down, but that's not how it goes. I fight my way up until I'm very close to ranking up, then get bodied all the way into demotion protection, win the next game I play, rinse and repeat. This pattern keeps happening over and over. I'm sure there's a reason this happens but I haven't figured it out so I'm making this post here

win: R4A8P8 lost: YSHEE7

Recently i have been learning dive tanks as i find them to be more fun then poking down choke. I picked up winston because my aim sucks lol.

I can get the gist of when to engage when to hunt down squishy but i feel that some games i feel that i am doing all i can but i still lost?

I'm sure i made some mistake as i usually play ramattra so i don't have the foundations of a dive tank yet.

I feel like i am now needing to shift to damage first, heal second as support. But that leads to me getting flamed for not healing.

Then I try to tell my team that they need to prioritize natural cover and that i'm not a healbot.

Then it turns into "gg support is throwing"

I think the changes are good overall, but i feel like life is more frustrating now as a support player lol
