I gave up my strategy of trying to learn something other than symmetra and skyrocketed back 500 SR in like 50 games to 2300, ignoring all the hate I get for playing her. I know it won't work forever, but if I just get to platinum I think I'll have reached my goal.
The symmetra flank playstyle is just basically how i've played fps games all my life, and I don't have the mechanics for someone like tracer. I also have 500 hours of practice in TF and TF2 placing turrets on maps that are hard to place turrets, which wasn't ranked so no harm done. It is simply where my skills are best, and even if it's impossible to go pro with those specific skills no matter how good those skills are, they're good enough to win games in Gold.
So yes, I am going to get mad at players that choose to hate on me for giving them the best chance to win, and the results to show for it. I'll just show it by simply leaving voice chat, and not adding to the toxicity. And I am doing what Comp is about by trying my best to win as a team to improve my rank, which isn't possible in QP.
