I am a long time Blizzard game enjoyer and I’ve been playing Overwatch since the launch in 2016. Over the years I got really good with it and even tried pursuing pro for a while. After OW2 got released I managed to hold onto GM and still be in the top player pool. The thing is that my life has now changed dramatically. I got a child and a new career and I have roughly 2 hours a night to play. But my games are still very high skilled, but I am not. Every game I play in casual gamemode feels like I’m dragging everyone down because the game thinks that I can play like I used to. We even got to a fight with my GF with whom I grouped up with. The games together are somehow ever worse, maybe it’s because I’m supposed to carry our weight. Is there anything you guys can do? I dont want to play competitively even though it seems to be the only way to lower my skilltier and MMR. I dont want to throw my games but my games are absolutely horrible 90% of the time because of my past. I dont want to make a smurf either, because that would mean loss of progression. There’s gotta be something I/Blizzard can do!
I’ve played and streamed this game for thousands of hours but I’m tempted to quit.
Players who have been inactive in comp for months and months should get an option to hard reset their MMR. Or fix the MMR decay because clearly it doesnt work for inactive players.
