I actually HATE this game

General Discussion
1

So I came back to Overwatch after about a month off because I’m tired, bored and fed up of the state of the game. I want to play and enjoy it but its literally impossible.
Played 3 games today, first game as Rein 32k damage blocked, positive KD and we get absolutely rolled.

Second game I go Ana, I get 17k healing done. Nobody ever protects healer, constantly only one on fire…Got absolutely rolled.

Third game Im healing again, we have 3 tanks…Nobody can dps or land a kill, I constantly get flanked from the back and picked off so I switch to Mercy. Get 12k heals but still team wipe after team wipe after team wipe.
We have a DVA, Zarya and Rein. Our Rein will have a genji on him, he turns around with his shield up and the enemy Mcree stuns him, he dies, doesn’t switch and does the same next round. Rinse and repeat about 12 times. He is absolutely terrible so me pissed off with everyone dying and not getting a kill when their entire team must all be on 10 kill streaks, I get fed up and go Roadhog… We now have no healer and 4 tanks. I manage to get 16 kills in the space of the remaining 2 minutes, I have 84% hook accuracy, 46% weapon accuracy, I kill their genji who has been wiping our team all game about 5 times, I kill their Mercy about 3 times, I kill their Ana, I hooked their Rein into a whole at the end of Kings row twice…BUT does this make any difference what so ever, nope. Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope Absolutely none, we get rolled.

Forth and final game before rage quitting and uninstalling, I pick Ana and we have a Doom, Mei, Torb, Mcree and a Soldier vs Zarya, Rein, Zen and Mercy.
Team wipe after team wipe after team wipe. I quit halfway through and uninstall the game, to hopefully never come back to this absolute piece of crap of a game.

Literally earlier I thought to myself “I actually miss Overatch a bit, I might get it back and give it a go” Smiling to myself, 1 and a half hours later and my mood has gone from happy, optimistic to sour, bitter, resentful and I’ve lost the will to live a bit.

Does anyone want 9 free Overatch Pop vinyl because I’m getting rid of absolutely everything Overwatch related so Im not tempted to play this absolute bore-frustration fest of a crap, crap, crap game

Sounds like most of your complaints are stemming from things the devs cant control.
What am I talking about you ask?

The devs CANNOT control :

  1. your teammates inability to peel
  2. your inability to defend yourself

Judging from your information, I’m gonna guess you’re silver. (because a) you talk about a positive KD as if the average KD for Rein wasn’t 2.0 - if yours is 1.1, that’s a bad KD, b) You put in heal and damage numbers without context of game length. c) Noone in your party builds a composition, which hasn’t happened to me on a regular basis since I hit gold)

Enemy team: 6 random people
Your team: 5 random people + you
Mathematically, you have the much better chances of a good comp on your side than on the other, unless you are the problem yourself. Personally, when I play QP to warm up a bit, where comps are really bad, and I pick a tank or support, I ask nicely whether someone else would like to cover the other role, often with a little joke to make it go down more smoothly. This works over 90% of the time - in QP! In comp it’s even easier.

Sounds like a L2P issue here.

You clearly haven’t played with the majority of those who play QP. The absolute standard response to someone asking you to switch your role is; “it’s just quick play”, therefore throwing the round because of it.

I have peaked at 3.8, so almost GM but this was a different account and was with plat/diamond players.

The game is trash, face facts. Its a team game and if your team cant play it doesn’t matter if you are GM. Some games you just cannot do anything which is why its so frustrating.

Feels like 40% win even if you afk, 40% loss even if you’re a GM going god mode. Then 10% Win that is a GG and a 10% loss that is also a GG.

First off, if you hate this game, don’t play it. Simple as that.
Secondly, from what I am reading, atleast from the third game, if you sacrifice healing for an off-tank, you should not be surprised you lost. You sacrificed team synergy for a solo experience. Not to mention, you could have for example tell Zarya to bubble rein when he turns around.
You seem to be sacrificing team synergy for your own fun experience, which is why you lose when you pop off. You should always play along with your team, as this is a team game.
Oh, and take a break sometimes.

Did you not read dude? I started off as Ana and their genji would basically run past my entire team and onto me. He was level 20 odd playing with high plat diamond, so would have been a smurf. This happened about 3-4 times before I switched Mercy so I could atleast have some mobility to get away from him. I managed to get 12k heals before getting pissed off because their team literally must have killed us 40-0.
THEN at this point with the last 2 mins to go I switched to Roadhog, got 16 kills, killed their Mercy, rein, genji all atleast 3 times each. Twice one shotting their Rein by hooking him into a hole.

BUT I am the one to blame here when we had 3 tanks and me the only healer for 90% of the game?!?!?
Yep… Overwatch is legit crap, even people on the forums are braindead af.
My fault for playing solo Ana, then going Mercy, then switching to Roadhog last min and destroying their entire team when none of our tanks did anything, no dps landed 1 kill…

Youre talking about a one specific game here, its not like 100% of your games are like this. On the long run QP is no place for a competitive mindset, it’s for people who want to play CASUALLY. Try playing competitive instead

This.

Sounds like you had one very bad game that annoyed you enough to quit.

Just play arcade FFA.
Then you don’t have to do any teamplay and it all depends on your character skill and positioning.
That’s what I do usually.
