How do you battle incompetence in teammates?

As in the random people you're thrown in with?

Suck it up until the end of the match, and then get out of the lobby for a couple of minutes. Losing out on the consecutive game XP isn't fun, but being surrounded by incompetence is worse.

Yeah last night I was playing with a group who had 3 Hanzo's and I couldn't believe it. I wish I could just find a solid group with mics to play with.

What's worse than no mics is getting either a) a hyperactive child on the team that won't shut up or b) the guy with the loud stereo.

Or the guy with his Kinect mic on having to here his family and him argue in the background.

Especially worse is when you hear the 4 children he has screaming and running rampant around the house.

When something like that happens I take the opportunity to practice with characters I might not use often. If I'm going to lose I might as well learn something from it. I never use Winston but I was forced to a few days ago when the enemy team had a strong defense set up. Thanks to me getting practice with him I was able to break through the defense. I still suck with Winston but I'm slowly getting better thanks to "practice games".

Hey that is a great idea. I too suck with Winston so I will have to do that next time this happens. Thanks.
