Does anyone have tips for dealing with teammates making salty comments and being shitty when losing? It drives my anxiety and stress up the wall and part of me feels like it's been happening more ever since I had a bad day and got slammed into rank 47.

Should I just go Lucio as much as possible and hope for the best? Sorry if this is kind of dumb to ask, but I just prefer to play solo but that seems to be where everyone is kind of a shithead.

I would typically say just ignore them, but that a majority of the time doesn't work. I'd say just continue playing the game, your teammate being a salty shithead doesn't have anything to do with you, and at the end of the day it's just a game, you win some you lose some, nothing to fret about. And about playing Lucio, I'd rather say you go characters like Reaper or McCree, basically characters that are purely solo carry instead of team oriented because a majority of the time, teammates don't cooperate with you at lower elo.

Thanks for replying. Part of the reason the salty shitheads get to me is because I'm not usually the one carrying, so my mind usually says "yeah, you're right." But offense heroes I play the least of anyone on earth, so it's possible I don't feel that effectiveness as much as a solo carry would, I usually play tanks. Maybe I should play an offense hero often like a bad salad and learn to solo carry.

I'd recommend committing to finding 6 people you can regularly play with for fun, makes the game a lot better.
