I recently bought the game and have been playing for 2 weeks now and i’m already exhausted/frustrated in competitive soloQ, i was placed around 2700 rating and as i kept playing more and more i dropped below 2000 but as soon as i started playing duo with 3k rated player i was able to climb and i wasn’t doing badly at all when comparing stats with others who played at that 3k rating. Its impossible to climb from that low rating as Moira since over 90% of the time the team is all over the place and not doing anything expect running in solo and instantly dying thus throwing the game, i feel like i’m getting punished for queing solo and playing as a support hero at this point i don’t know what i’m suppose to do.
You are really inexperienced before level 100-200 that alone can be a problem. Some are stuck in gold forever. Regarding the difficulties of climbing - here is a similar thread where you can find some answers: Impossible to climb as a solo because of bad teammates
I am sick and tired of this game. For the first time ever during my competitive career in overwatch I got to about 2974-2977sr. I cant remember the exact number. Then I went into a match which was over 20minutes long and super even. After the match I was positive that I had gotten into diamond for the first time EVER. But guess what… My sr was 2999. 1 bloody point away from diamond. And I went on and played one more match which I lost (surprisingly) This made me sad and angry at the same time. Blizzard, I request that you wont let your players down like this and remove the fact that these sort of things happen. I know I would have deserved one more sr. Thanks for ruining my good mood. Sincerely, ManateeQueen from Europe server
2999 and 3000 are basically the same. I wouldn’t torture myself for 1 SR.
I think their server software should contain a few lines of extra program code like the following:
if (player_name equals "ManateeQueen") then
result = victory
Real life doesn’t really know the word “deserve”. You get what you can take or negotiate for yourself.
You are welcome.

Welcome to overwatch ranked buddy. Unfortunately you won’t see teams with any semblance of cohesion in you games until grand master you’re picked up by an owl team.
Problem is there is almost no incentive to work as a team.
I feel your pain i am a Main Tank player and recently sole queued my way from low plat to low diamond playing Winston, Reinhardt and Orisa. It might not be as frustrating as Support but its still comparable. The only advice i have might not be that helpful but it helped me Mentally while climbing.
The thing is when playing support or tank you just have to realise that you will go on lose streaks where you feel like your doing good but still losing and since you aren’t playing DPS where you can solo carry games you can only help to a certain extent. For me having this fact in mind made me feel a bit better about losing a lot because at least im improving as a player. And also always realise that even if you are not winning right now if you keep grinding and focus on getting better as a player and as a teammate eventually you will start climbing because of all the improvement. And last of all just realise that your sr doesn’t really matter to much it doesn’t necessarily show how good you are as a player.
If you disagree then that’s fine its just that this helped me climb to diamond and i thought it could maybe help you too
