Now, I myself as a majorly DPS player am not ranked that high (currently hovering around Diamond 3-4), but I've been doing my support placements this week and since the game seems to enjoy messing with me, it's decided to put me in silver lobbies.

And the thing I see the most is the pure refusal for my dps to take duels. Not losing them, cus that'd be fine, but simply not taking them. Put them in a 1v1 and they don't even try to win it, they either just huddle with their tank in main and pray that someone else deals with the problem, or cycle through the entire cast to try and luck into a solution.

I had this game right, where me and my Soldier were on an angle together. We get jumped by their Vendetta and Moira, and I nano him to win the 2v2. Instead of.. fighting, he just.. ran away, literally sprinted away.

I think when people whine about counterswapping this is an aspect of it. I'll have Genjis who play him like Cass, Reapers who just play Soldier 76. Torb is probably among the better dps I see just cus of the turret.

As someone who has played dps for like 90% of my playtime, duels ARE the sh*t. While OW is not a deathmatch, a lot can be impacted by getting a pick in a fair 50/50 1v1, but it seems that some just refuse to even try.

Hello, new player here. I have aproximatively 20 hours of playtime and I can't find a hero that click with me. I've tried them all, the " best " for me for now is Chopper, but I'm of course awful with him since i'm a newbie. I try my best to learn but it's quite frustrating to not being able to play something I really want to get into.

Like I said, I tried them all at least 3 times each. Since it's pretty sure other people got the same problem, I'd like to hear what you did to find your main.

I am having a miserable time with playing Comp right now, and for whatever reason, I don't have this problem in quickplay, EVEN THOUGH my QP MMR is HIGHER than my comp mmr. My comp mmr is sitting at Diamond 5-4 and my qp mmr is like low Diamond to high Masters (i check career profiles whenever i can just to gauge the match).

But my Diamond games in comp are just so awful and I have so much anxiety over losing rank progress, maybe I'm just more aware of it but it feels like I have much worse teammates and honestly worse coordination in comp. I don't know if its a mental thing or if I have just gotten unlucky or what.

I don't know if this is worth asking because I get that people maybe don't try as hard in quickplay (it feels like they do, and I know I do) but I did this when I was having bad games in both Gold and Plat. I just played a ton of quickplay and watched guides on Youtube and started decimating these lobbies to get to Diamond after placing like, Silver 4. Which I think was just me getting screwed over because the last time I did placements I was like high Gold to low Plat or something.

I feel like I have cracked mechanics for a Diamond player. I main Cass and usually finish games with like 60-65% accuracy and right around 20% crit accuracy) and it seems like I win 80%+ of my 1v1s but I don't think I have the awareness or mental reflexes (regarding positioning) to carry in Diamond yet. This is probably stupid and I've just had an unlucky batch of games, but I seriously just want to improve as much as I can before I go back to comp because Diamond is so sososososo miserable and unfun. Thanks.

Also, I play Zen on support and am Diamond 1 and obviously regularly get placed in Masters lobbies where I do fine. So, maybe I just need to play more? But I really don't want to until I build the confidence.
