Learn to enjoy it.

When I first started playing comp months and months ago I was wondering how people under 25 were able to q for it lol

but then you realized after bronze portrait they go silver and then you realize they are over lvl 600. im at lvl 300 something. rip. i'm tired of looking at the ugly turd color.
actually in s2 there was a glitch that under 25 can be party with people in comp to get in.
also that glitch enable ppl to break the 1000 or 500sr limit grouping too.
so you could be really seeing low lv in your comp games.

I've lost 19 of my past 21 games. Played a round of normal Uprising to try and cleanse the pallet with some sort of win.
One of the players drops out. Bastion sits at the point and refuses to revive our third while I'm ulting as zen. GG. This game fucking hates me right now.

I can play a pretty solid Mercy or healing Zen (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VH07MCHacb8) if you guys ever need one for Comp, I just usually don't pick 'em when we group up since they seem to be in high demand.
Yeah, same. I don't mind losing in Comp as long as folks are trying, but the nonsense team comps that dominate QP really suck the fun out of the game for me. And since those oddball team comps are rarely going to show up in Comp, I kinda feel it doesn't make for valid practice either.

Yeah I try to replicate an actual match, even though AI is obviously not the exact same thing. I put them on medium difficulty since they always focus on you and not your teammates (on medium the enemies do half damage, but with zen discord you can be killed really quickly), 5vs6 also makes things more fair, and the sombra on your team can hack the health packs in case you need healing (don't count on the healers for the most part lol).

The closest I got was exactly this, you'd think 2 would be enough.
All that said I'm not dead set on getting all the trophies, I've just managed to inch a bit closer to that platinum is all.

I'd like to put a serious group of us together to do it. I haven't even done Expert yet.

I did it with a group of randoms as Tracer, if you want some hints look in my post history for some tips.

Is there a way to make sure I never get teamed up with another player in competitive?

My friends are assuming I'm the cause for their quick play matches becoming frustrating.
As in it seems to be using my just about diamond rank in greater favour than their gold (and maybe silver for some) general level and bringing in people they can't deal with.
Do we know if this is roughly a thing? (I know that it is in competitive)
Or am I just getting the blame game here?
I have to ask because they mentioned the idea of me making a smurf account but then I recall the designers mentioning that smurfing isn't that big an issue because it balances out the skill level rather quick.

Yeah, that's a thing. QP MMR is separate from Competitive, but it is possible to drag people into higher MMR QP games than they're used to.

Hmm, well maybe I'll just see how much a consistent difference an alt would make for a bit at least, though I can't imagine sticking with such things....all those unlocks of mine would be wasted!

If you play the same way as your other account, your internal MMR will end up around where your main account is, and you'll still have the same problem
Ya, it's true. Unless you're intentionally playing poorly, you'll most likely get a second account to the same QP MMR as your main before you even hit level 10.

That feel when the only two people in team chat are you (playing Lucio) and the Zen and after a terrible first round on Lijiang Tower, you both carry the fuck out of your team to take the next three in a row lighting the kill feed up with boops and discord. Gave the guy mad props, definitely one of the best Zen's I've had on my team.
I did lose the next two games in a row though but what a game that was.

Yeah this is what I figured from what I read about the smurf accounts not being much of an issue, well I guess they'll just have to git gud as they say!
*ahem*
Or just abandon me to the wolves of solo queue.
Well it is balanced for all skill levels. There is no character in the game that is "unlearnable" to a bronze player. They just have to put in the time. I think pro level play trickles down fairly well in OW and there's no real comps that are far too complex to execute for less skilled players.
I really don't see how its elitist lol. You think its fine for players who have the weakest understanding of the game to dictate where this game goes. People in that DVa thread genuinely thought season 3 DVa was balanced ffs.

I found this is an issue when I tried to introduce a couple of friends to overwatch (more than 6 months after it came out). It sucks when you have a friend who is barely learning how to play or doesn't play often, and your account is inflating the MMR to levels they will not enjoy because they're constantly getting trashed.
If you can, keep the group small even in QP, if you get 5-6 group, you will be matched with try hard stacks and it will not be a pleasant experience if they're not ready for it. If it's only 1-3 people you're playing with, your MMR won't make too much of a difference if they have been playing for more than a few weeks. If they're brand new, you're better off letting them play by themselves until they get the hang of the game..

Ugh...I must have opened at least 11 or so loot boxes and only one skin for the entire event. Rest is just icons and and voices FeelsBadMan
Ugh. Just getting defend matches tonight. I fucking hate defending. Too high stakes compared to attackers for my taste. On attacking team I can explore my artistic side of overwatch without worrying too much but defending is when shit is for real because one fuck up means you lost the point. When I soloQ I just disconnect from the defense rounds and play attack only. Only way for me to have any fun. I only suffer through defending when I play with friends.
Ur a douche
Don't really see why I would be. I connect to a game and leave immediately and someone will soon fill my place before the match hero select countdown even finishes. SoloQ is hard already so I try to get some enjoyment out of the game anyway I can and it just so happens that I don't like defending. It's not like I play a minute or two and then leave. I also don't play comp.
Oh ok.
When you say solo q, people assume comp. If you want quality games with good defence, play comp.
