It definitely feels like I get punished for playing certain characters sometimes. I need to check again to confirm, but for my character I most consistently win with, Zen, I swear I earn about 20 SR maximum each win vs when I win on my Reaper and I get about double that. That would be fine if I could play Reaper with an actual team but more often then not I pick Reaper and I see 2 other DPS picks or a defense character in slots that should be for tanks or support.Same here on my main account. Im at like 700 sr difference on it (2700 vs 3400 last season). Meanwhile on my alt I'm at 4100 because fuck, why not
SR gains are absolutely bloated when you understand that to climb easily, you should only play two heroes MAXIMUM
I mean, I'm not a prideful guy, y'all can check my stats right here and tell me if stuff checks out,maybe youre just at the elo level your skill deservers? the fact that you main 3 situational characters should be kind of a of a giveaway

There's definitely spots I can improve still but I really do feel like more often than not at this rank that I'm at the mercy of my team's picks and I'm struggling to pick up the slack. I felt like I was playing with equals around the 2900-3200 range when I was there, I can admit when I almost made Masters I was playing my ass off and still probably was getting carried a bit.
I can understand thinking Reaper is situational as I definitely agree there's times he really isn't the move, but I disagree as others have said that Winston is situational with this meta, and personally when I'm on Winston I really rather have a Zen on healer, it's just way easier knowing you can jump on a enemy support, get some good tickle damage in and not worry about your Lucio or Mercy getting bodied before you get out. The only time I really feel like Zen is iffy is when the enemy team has persistent Genjis or Tracers or when my team is on attack since Lucio's speedboost is really helpful, but I feel like I manage pretty well with him all things considered.
