I give up...

Its tricky in comp, cause generally we all wanna win

And I know some are very good with certain players, so I stay away from them to let them use it, etc. I have some preferred characters myself too, of course, and if I think I can be useful in a certain role I will fill that.

That said I want everyone to be having fun, and if someone is stuck playing a class they don't like that can be hard, so I am happy to swap out or ask others to swap out in favor of the fun, which at the end of the day I consider far more important than the win

I agree with you Milli that you must be proficient with most of the characters. At least on a basic level to be able to counter certain enemy strategies, but for me being "ok/basic" with a character is not enough in comp and that's what I mean when I say that you (or at least I :narnar:) need to train inside quick play instead of in comp. Don't settle for good. Settle for excellent!

Queuing single player comp is just as bad.
I must be the crap player, because I have won one game, and about 20 lost tonight. My rating is pants.

At least in comp people try, the thing I hate most about casual is having multiple of 1 hero, and having people quit and join half way through. Nightmare.

But ya, solo play in either is pretty bad! Best to post on here and team up with some when you're gonna play.. I will make a thread for that

last 4 ranked games in a row had either 1 tank or 1 healer. Guess who was the tank or healer?

:/

Are you using game comms? Or even text chat if not.. try to get people to change, sometimes it works.. sometimes they're just stubborn muppets though :/

Not to rub salt in the wound for anyone, but I found solo queuing quite alright. All the teams I played in knew 2/2/2 was the best setup. Naturally I selected Ana/Zen and when a public didn't adhere to the 2/2/2 my toxic public team mates would soon let them know with some 'choice' words of encouragement.

Maybe it was just a good day, or maybe once you get passed a certain level the public's are just more competent.

I talk to people. They get salty to suggest that they play their non favoured toon and that others should change instead. As a result, no-one changes and it's a loss.
What really grates though is the abuse I get after the game for even daring to suggest it. That alone does not encourage communication.

Big difference in solo depending on rank. Obviously the higher the rank the more willing to actually work as a team the publics are.

There was a message on the forums that suggested season 2 ranking had been screwed up.

Might be worth a read:

That only says there were more players in high ranks than expected. Currently doesn't apply to me.

Chaosphere · October 28, 2016, 11:06:45 AM

But it might apply to you if it lowers some of us and let's us group again. The restrictions are annoying.

Twyst · October 29, 2016, 12:50:59 PM

I can group with some of you as I found out a few nights ago .... just not everyone.

Chaosphere · October 29, 2016, 02:27:54 PM

What number are you at, I'd be more tHan happy to try to help you climb if possible. I'm around 2500
