Yknow I think EOMM is hard cope. If you disagree you might find what I'm about to say harsh and mean.
You went on a 15 game loss streak? Did you think to maybe do something else... maybe... no?
The game isn't rigged against you - you're tilted/burnt out/ in the correct rank/boosted depending on what your loss streaks look like and your performance.
You went on a 15 game loss streak after your friends got offline? Was this because now that you didn't have a pocket healer your ass positioning caught up to you and you exploded at the start of every fight?
Did you decide you are the god amongst mortals on your team and rather than working with them decided to flank with no support?
Did you decide to go healer because you were failing on DPS then proceed to not heal your other healer and play right up the tanks ass?
Did you notice every bad ult, every senseless death of your teammates and rage about it because why are you matched with people with the gamesense of a wallnut? While you simultaneously stand stock still in a moonlight ult making 0 effort to move?
We all have bad games. There will always be games you lose despite carrying your whole team. But those losses should be rare.
If you are going on 15 game loss streaks there's other elements at play.
1st: you're tilted. You just lost three matches in a row and you are queuing in to your next game fuming because your healer had 4k heals by the end of a 15 min long match. So now you're hyperfocused on your new healers, nitpicking their behavior and spam pinging for heals because they didn't save you when you pushed out of position because your tanks "weren't pushing" and got obliterated by an ankh you didn't notice just around the corner. And you didn't notice it because you are mad. You're frustrated. You've got tunnel vision.
This means you are gonna ult after half your team is dead and waste the ult on an already lost team fight.
2nd: you aren't going to carry every game.
There's a reason people have gotten away with doing no healing support characters to celestial (like 0healrocket) and it's not because the character is broken. It's because they have better mechanical skills (aim, cooldown usage, etc) AND better gamesense (know when to get in when to get out, when a fight is over, when to push and when to retreat, what their teammates are doing etc)
You need to accept this isn't you. Your job is not to get the most kills/the most damage taken/the most heals
Your job is to win the game.
Fuck the scoreboard. Fuck your ego.
Your job is to A) complete the objective and B) make your teammates life easier.
No your onetrick teammates who only plays scarlet witch should not switch to dagger because they clearly need to play support because they are 1-6 when you already have two support mains. That isn't going to help because if they are struggling in a role they are familiar with they will struggle more on one they are not. It's not your job in the game to be mad they are a one trick. This is the team you have been given make the best of it. Maybe you need a strange/mag tank line so she gets the team up and a bubble when she ults. Does it suck? Yes. But it's what you've been given.
Maybe you aren't getting healed all game. Your supports are actually dps mains who are flexing because everyone but one instalocked dps (the other is the lone and elusive tank main).
They can heal... yeah. They can get the job done generally. But now they've got a magik shoving that greatsword so far up their ass... and they can't deal with it and heal you (if they can deal with it at all)
Hell you may have a healer main whose handling the diver in the backside but in order to do so they have to look away from the Frontline and the tanks (i say plural like theres ever two 😭) decide to push at the wrong time and get melted.
Does this suck? Yes. But you can play around it. And you don't just have to play namor... a shitty namor does nothing to help trust me. I enjoy playing wolv. There was one game where I was essentially the second tank. I had like 35k damage taken and it was just shy of all the tanks. I had 25 finals and like 35k damage. I repeatedly flipped around to deal with magik the second I stopped getting healed in the Frontline. Did I always win? No. But at the very least I wasted her cooldowns and got her off my healers so they could heal me and the tank. We didn't win the game but we tried. It wasn't the supports fault I'm half certain the magik was an alt account. But I say this to tell you that you CAN peel for a healer as characters not typically suited for it.
There is always something you can be doing besides the objective to help your team succeed because you are only as good as the weakest link on your team.
3rd: you're rank and whether you are boosted/in the right spot.
If you are exactly where you should be you're likely losing ~half your games. Its frustrating to go [win loss win loss win win los win loss loss] because those wins are making you forget you make mistakes. This is the point where if you want to climb you need to review your games after the fact. You need to go in and criticize yourself - not "the supports could have healed me i was running back to them" and more "there was a healthpack in the room to my left i should have dashed into" or "maybe I should have positioned myself near a wall to block damage and had a cooldown ready to get away if necessary"
Less " my magneto should have bubbled me" and more "I could have cnd ulted into a nearby room to my left so the enemy mag couldn't hit me" or "maybe I should fade cloak closer to my team when I hear a divers footsteps"
While you need to be trying to make your teammates life's easier do not expect them to do the same for you.
If you are rapidly losing after playing with a group you were boosted and didn't learn anything from your mistakes because your teammates consistently covered your ass. Trust me I know I've played ranked with my brother who sits in his punisher turret in the middle of the road and im just pumping heals into him because he has the positioning skills of roadkill. I've been there. You will fall to the rank you should be in and begin winning games again and that's when you need to start learning from your mistakes.
I get tilted easily - i have a short temper regularly. So after a loss or two I get up and do something else until I'm chill. Maybe that's an hour maybe it the next day. Or if I really want to play I'll go play qp or Ai just to fuck around. You don't realize you are tilted...
Your rank isn't everything. Yes losing a game sucks but it has no effect on real life. It's not worth cussing a teammate out over.
You notice mistakes in your peers before your own. I play all three roles. Sometimes I stop and gawk because my magneto just ulted - no punisher no cloak ult and threw it into a wall. I had to take a breather because my dagger had a cloak fade and just stood there and took an iron man ult to the face like that Defoe meme. I see my spider man turbo feed in 4k. Don't get mad. They probably see you miss freeze shots or have bad ults too. You just don't recognize your own weaknesses because you are focused on how their skills are worse than yours in one area or another. Maybe if you stop raging at them you might learn something too. Maybe you'll see how your mag pops in and out of a corner and uses it for shield. Maybe you'll see your dagger consistently time their their cooldown to make the most of them.
And maybe they're just having a bad day. Maybe they're tilted. Maybe they just need to go to bed. I've been there and I'd bet money so have you. At the end of the day its a game.
It's okay you go on loss streaks. It's okay you sometimes blame your team. Sometimes it really is them. But whats keeping you from climbing is self reflection - and you wont do that by blaming EOMM.
Maybe it exists... maybe it doesnt. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ but if it does exists everyone from the lowley hard stuck bronze to the top 500 all deal with it.
If they succeeded despite it why can't you?
