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

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

Are there any decent emre players that have figured out this matchup? What are you supposed to do here?

I've been one tricking emre for this season and i kind of just lose to winston and Dva is kind of tough as well. All my abilities get blocked by bubble or eaten by dm and I can't get the self heals. I can't space out winston because his jump range basically forces me to play out of falloff and it's hard to get value from offangles when i get dove by them without any healing from my pistol. I also don't have the dmg to break bubble.

Am I just meant to sit down main and spam in front of my supports or pray that one of them supports me on the angle? Or is there actually a good way to deal with this matchup?

I'm a pretty new player to ow, and I'm still extremely scared of playing unranked/quick play matches. I've won some once or twice with my friends, but I'm scared of screwing up to actually join one on my own. Do the better players actually judge you for being stupid, especially if you're with low rank characters? I just want to try my best to not be an obnoxious player who sets the team back. I play mostly Reaper, but considering I barely know the maps at all I fear I'll mess up my flanks every single time smh
