I finished up my work week last night and decided to go ahead and run some competitive games for the drive before it ends, intending to at least get the first title. This is the first time I've fully completed one! It took just under 24 hours, and I thought it would be fun to do a breakdown on some of the stats. I did it all solo queue, and with a silencing penalty for getting spicy with a thrower a week ago. I'll admit that this experience was much better for not having been able to interact with any negative players, and I've definitely gained insight into how I can better handle in game toxicity. So I guess the penalty worked! 

**Winrate**

* 60%. 25 wins, 15 losses. 

**Rank through drive**

* I started with demotion protection at the very bottom of gold 5. I briefly dipped into Silver 1 twice, and made it to  about 65% through Gold 4 at the highest. I'm now 54% through Gold 4. 
* My season high for open queue was about 60% through Gold 3. For some reason the career profile doesn't display the competitive stats of open queue for me. 

**Top five most played hero's time and corresponding winrate for this season**

Sigma 

* 58%, 9 hours played

Soldier 76 

* 59%, 8 hours played

Mei

* 46%, 2 hours played

Bastion

* 19%, 1 hour played (0-o)

Junkrat

* 47%, 1 hour played

Zarya *(Not in the top five, but she was my main for years and was who I swapped to from Sig when being hard countered)* 

* 51%, 49 minutes

**General Takeaways**

This push went far more smoothly than previous pushes I've attempted. I sailed through the first title and decided to keep going. I believe my silencing had at least something to do with that, I had no choice but to not be pulled into any toxic exchanges. 

There were two points where it felt like I was being put into some sort of loser's/punishment queue for a handful of games. As in, the enemy team had zero deaths compared to everybody on my team having ten deaths, regardless of hero choices, back to back. When this started to happen, I would take a break to do something else for a little bit and it would feel better when I came back.

The "Avoid as Teammate" list was critical. It was a revolving door. Anytime I had a truly terrible or toxic teammate, I put them on the list and IMMEDIATELY re-queued. 70% of the time, one or all of the recently added negative players would be on my enemy team and I would win. These kinds of players seem to not know how to stop on a losing streak and I took advantage of that. 

Overall, I actually had a good time! My mechanics were the most dialed in they've felt in a long time by the end, and I was having some really fun, intense matches. I hope the drive was good for you all as well, and if you're still pushing, I wish you luck!
