NB: This was just a post of me venting about two shit games back to back where the same player absolutely rolled through even when half of our team was pre-warned, but I wanna note that in general this trend of “one player gets fat then rolls the other team despite their best efforts” is something I’m noticing on my own teams too.


What am I meant to do when by luck or some other factor a player gets what you think is a meagre lead (1-2k) then spirals into an absolute seal clubbing?

When there’s not surrender mechanic you’re held ransom to ensure the winning team extracts their “fun” from having you feed into them until they decide playing TDM is enough and play the objectives?

I’ve had close games, equal games, games where we lose but it’s a well fought, but recent updates have stuffed the MMR (or maybe cheating and smurfing is just common now?)

    No it doesn’t.

    It has a “players don’t know how to counter things, and just keep trying to turn it around by sweating harder, instead of adapting their build on the fly”.

    I got absolutely crushed yesterday in a match where the enemy Dynamo built pure CC. All he did was go around freezing my team and having his team wipe us multiple times.

    I was literally the only person on my team who bought unstoppable early on in order to counter him, and I did pull off some haze ults with multiple kills, but it wasn’t enough, because by the time I was done, I was still the sole survivor of my team.

    The rest of my team just proceeded to die over and over, allowing the other team to snowball past anything we could handle.

    In the game before that, I successfully shut down an Abrams that was out of control, simply by buying slowing hex (which disables his charge ability) and having a team that knew to focus him whenever I used it.
