See? People don't believe in ELO hell, being dragged down, etc., but it sucks. 2945 SR now, so close to getting diamond...! Lucky I play dps I think I can carry 2 matches more

Oh man good luck to you. Plat is so dumb it's so hilarious. It doesn't even make sense. How are they even plat omg. Such a shitshow. Also toxicity in Asia at its finest.

In high plat there's almost no toxicity in EU, but yeah, skillwise... as long as I can play a dps and tanks/heals aren't dumb, I carry easy. I held the payload on Route 66 final spot with Reaper alone against their full team for the duration of the respawn + walk time of my team rofl

We won :^)

Good to hear toxicity is less there. It's really horrid in Asia omg.

Ahaha I freaking held Numbani 1v3 as freaking Ana and that Soldier was just stoning like on high ground missing everything. And then I get gold elims as freaking Ana like whut lol. It was like Genji Hog something like idk how but I survived all that at once lols. So dumb. Grenade this sleep that etc. S76 just like permanently rooted to the same spot on god.

Idk to laugh or cry man.

Yeah, I remember one Numbani game with Ana which we won. There were 3 guys on point A and I was just going back when they killed our Mei, so I slept their Dva, started killing their Rein and Lúcio, their Reaper shows up and he has to wraith out... I had all of them a real low hp while I jumped around the payload so Lúcio had to ult so they could kill me safely hahaha

Ana is a beast that slaughters everything without your team realizing. Ahahaha. Gosh I wanna main Zen but argh people are so bad for me to full time Zen.

Zen is in a bad spot right now, EMP slaughters him more than any other support and Ana is still outclassing him :/

btw check this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpqViFpIZiE
Not my best plays as we were just destroying them lol

Is Zen's meta period really destined to be short ;O; also ahaha. Rein nano time. and quick tip, i'd recommend you flick around between shots if you can. I don't like tunnel visioning to heal when unscoped. But it depends on how feasible it is. I play on a very high sens so I can flick everywhere to get more awareness. Like I see you spamming heals on rein and didnt pay attention to the stairs that hog was at. just small little things.

Also do ya think it'd be cool if they add a support with an offensive ult. I'd play that woo

Probably cool, yeah!
I have low sens, but yeah you're right!

also wooo grats on diamond !!! moar gold cp!

also I must say that grinding that many games is no easy task and pure dedication lol. also indeed rank is no indication of skill or anything whatsoever amirite. it's all about dem end season rewards!

Now to think of the next golden weapon I have in one week!

Indeed. It's been a lot of games, even though I enjoyed most of them. Finally I'm above filthy noob plats :^) I must say I'm pretty sure I'm masters material, I just need to get my shit straight. Will continue to improve until I'm there.

ahahaha wow you totally not being humble B) neither am i humble haahahha. People make it to masters for various reasons. Some of them have really good DM, some have really good game sense, some have coordination etc. So which one do you think you belong to haha. I'm personally the coordination / game sense guy so it's unlikely for me to grind to masters on soloq where my skills are less applicable :/ time to pick up dm I guess. I already take stupid 1v3s as a support anyway so it shouldn't be that bad amirite ahahaha.

I don't think I excel at any of those (but I've practised my dm and mechanical skill A LOT, currently 10-1 in 1v1 arcade), but I try to be at least good in all of them. I also practise all heroes so I know how to play and counterplay all of them.

well, yea you could be rounded on all aspects, leaning towards any aspect isn't necessary. also hahaha, 1v1 arcade isn't representative though, you don't often need to 1v1 with the same hero. that'd be awkward. yea good to have knowledge pool on all heroes regardless of whether you decide to play them. lmao flame actually blamed some pros for having shallow understanding of some heroes that they dont play haha.

maybeee i should try aiming for masters s3? i really miss my partyq but i guess i have to adopt soloq mindset (which sucks D:) oh well hahaha. probably gonna s76 all the way till high diamond then go back to playing support to break masters. hopefully that works for me. though s76 is going to be so instalock now soooo :X whats your plan haha. still going with partyq ?

That's a good plan, I really want to get good to masters level too. I will still soloq and duoq, party over 2 is rare for me and it feels like it's bad because people I know are all about dat soloplayer dm. I think I'm gonna drop support and play mostly dps and offtanks if I can... it's not that I don't like those, which I do, but I feel like my best role is dps (and also it sucks to play support or rein when your dpss suck). I may play a lot of dva though :D

I'm practising all dps heroes now, even Hanzo, Torb, and Widow. Maining dps is what got me from stuck in 2700 to 3000 in a week!

haha i tried another game, played Zarya for the first round anubis, rofl Zarya is a beast even though my average energy was p low. Korean dude wants Zarya after that so lol I played Rein and LOL I barely ever play Rein. But w/e I don't let people get hooked and I don't lose to the Rein v Rein even though I have zero practice in that. It was weird. We had a DC and the koreans immediately blame the dc dude when he returned. As if we were going to lose just cos of that 9.9 lol. Enemy got to 3 caps, we had I think 3 mins to cap both or something I can't rmb. And god it almost drew because no one on my team could kill the Lucio just circling the pylon on anubis B LOL. Smh. Good thing I died as Rein and went D.Va to boop Lucio off and murder Mercy / Lucio and the rest rofl. so dumb. Also Ana boosted me as Rein when we had no Lucio and I can't even walk to B point from choke with the boost. No way am I going to charge in with a weird korean Zarya when they have Hog and would just hook/whole hog me. Just whyyyyy hahaha. I just casually walked to the point slowly ahaha.

Thankfully I could switch to D.Va in overtime and that was what won us lols. I think I held defense by playing D.Va too. I'm not a DPS/Tank main but lol doing better than the 'mains' anyway it's funny. But still, DPS/tank still feels more influential in soloq. They determine the flow of fights more so than supports ever will, cos soloq :/

Yeah, that's why tanks are really important to play! D.Va right now is just too good, I can destroy everything with it and basically win lol

I'd think D.Va is pretty good on offense whenever enemy doesn't run Zarya/Hog. Or just whenever they decide not to run either of those fsr. D.Va deters Winston dive a lot too.
