Am I the only one?

News & Discussion

Competitive. 8 games salty teammates. 8 losses. Losing more than a full rank.. I dropped from close to 57 to middle 55... I mean, didn't they say that individual skill matters? If yes, why am I losing that much rank points with 3 golds?

I am depressed, I really don't want to play anymore because I am only losing and pointlessly losing rank after rank. It took me weeks to get from my initial 50 to 59 (Solo only), and all that gets destroyed by salt and bad players. And I really don't want to be a "salt"-player myself..

Also I recently had many really unbalanced matchups. Their team was way better than mines.

Please tell me that I am not the only one that has this happening to him/herself..

If a video game is making you depressed it's probably a good sign that you should take a break.

No, you're not the only one.

I see like, 20-30 posts a day about people getting angry/depressed over competitive, and here I am in QP accomplishing largely the same thing, without half the angry and any of the depression.

You 'n me, man, QP master race. Everyone should play to have fun, not to be the very best that no one ever was, and if competitive is depressing there is legitimately no reason to play it.

Me and my crew rolled in with 4 D.vas, a Lucio and a Zenyatta on Anubis after losing the defense portion due to excessive self-trolling.

Can't do that in competitive!

Losing 8 games in a row and only going down 2 ranks is impressive. Most of the time after the 3rd or 4th loss you start going down full ranks per loss.

Competitive now feels more like gamble. When i'm enter it i just know that i will lose rank. And it will happen not because of my performance but because some shitty system that decided that my place is elo hell. So basicly i paid 30$ for game that says "No you cant play with comptiten ppl. Sit here and enjoy plaing with retards. Cause you are retard too. Fuck you. Thx for buying me."

I had a bunch of losses soloQ early on in ranked before any changes when it was still really broken and lost 10 ranks.. I just stopped playing ranked rather than try and re-gain anything now (even though it's mostly fixed), I'll wait for the season 2 changes and place again NBD. Still having a blast in quickplay which is what the majority of my friends want to play anyway.
