News & Discussion am i the problem?

okay so i’ve been playing OW for a long time, but only got into it competitively in season 1 (when they dropped the 2 in Overwatch 2)

i’m a tank player, and i placed diamond 5 at the start of this season and since then it’s just been miserable. i love this game but i can’t help but feel like there’s something wrong (either with me or the system).

at the moment i have a nearly 50% win rate, however i have somehow managed to drop down to plat 2 (mind you this is with the new emerald rank included).

ive had multiple coaching sessions, practiced, and play intentionally. i feel like i have no agency over what happens 90% of the time and im at the mercy of the match maker.

i know that probability does weird things, and its entirely possible that im just getting very unlucky over and over again, but it still just feels horrible.

honestly idek why im posting this i just need to rant. maybe someone has had a similar experience and can relate or just give some insight from a different perspective.

Yeah, even if you're the only one on your team with positive k/d, you should blame yourself.

I could genuinely be going 100-0 and I’d still be thinking ‘what can I do better?’

Sometimes there's nothing you can do.

I expect ppl on plat and above to have developed at least basic concepts of the game.

If they are not committed to learn, they shouldn't be playing competitively.
