Played exactly one comp game last night. KOTH on Nepal.
1) We get a bunch of instalocking DPS. Then a couple switch to Zenyatta and Ana, so I decide I'll take Reinhardt since we need tanks. Of course, they all just zoom in and don't play together, so Reinhardt is wasted and I immediately switch to Winston. But then I still don't get any help, and they're all just walking in and getting slaughtered and I'm getting chased down and slaughtered too, so I switch to Reaper. I get one kill before the timer goes off and have gold elims with 1 kill. They win the map 100-0. Fuck my life.
2) I ask the team WTF we're going to do about this. One guy says "this is a throw; just do whatever you want." So literally everybody changes class and suddenly we have no healers. I switch off Reaper to Lucio as the doors open, then a Roadhog switches off to Reaper. We go in and get wrecked and lose the point "Well, fuck this" I think, and switch to Pharah. We're at zero healers; but I boop a couple off the side, take down their Reinhardt, suddenly we have the point and I'm at gold elims again. We take down the map 100-35 with zero healers.
3) I express amusement that this is working with no healers. McCree switches to Zenyatta. After the first push I switch off of Pharah and onto Roadhog because their McCree has had enough of my shit. We win the third map at 100-65.
4) I don't remember too much about this point other than it was a blur; a constant bloodbath on the point. They end up with the point at 99-88, but we're contesting and it's in overtime; then they get a clutch Blizzard to seal the deal and we're going to a fifth round (still with only a Zenyatta as the solo healer).
5) Again, still a solo Zenyatta. No, I'm not supporting these guys - when I tried to play support tank or actual supports, they just died. I switch to Mei because we don't have one and I'm getting less effective with Roadhog as the map goes on (Reaper and Ana are hunting me hard). Again, constant bloodbath on the point. Our D.Va clutches out the final moments of the map and we take it 100-99.
I finish with five silvers and count myself lucky that we came out on top in that shitshow. There was no strategy and no semblance of organization. When it became clear that nobody was interested in working together, we threw team comp out the window and said "fuck it" and relied on everybody doing their own thing. And somehow it worked?
