I have been playing a shit ton of deadlock lately. really love this game so many design choices i love. however i fear the skill rating matchmaking works far too well. see, i was like mid range in arcanist. but had a huge loss streak as i ebbed off the game and continued into getting back into it. i got tanked to seeker, and i fear im at a loss for how to play the game properly.
now im far from the best player, or even a great one, but i have a firm grasp of how this game works. in ways im disillusioned by that magic it used to give while i was learning and this game was changing so much, because i understand the game and its loop and its just really fun and addicting but simple in a lot of ways.
this rank is very distinct from what i was in before just by the way im treated. before i was flamed for not getting good strategy or macro or making a bad play, while i was learning the game. tough but fair. but now i know the game and get dogpiled on because im trying to play the game well or with a little foresight but everyone else doesnt seem to understand the fundamentals of the game. and wont listen. not only wont listen but will mock every thing you try and say to tell them. "hey theres a way to play this game and this aint it."
Like this for example. by the end of the game half of my team was in a frenzy because i was a troll and i didnt do anything. the dynamo was most vocal about how i didnt do anything. with a suspiciously 16 death toll. which if i recall correctly gives them a fuck ton of money to beat our asses harder with. i am not the first person to call out KDA but when i have a terrible game (zero walkers down in 30 min. game) and getting flamed for not fighting horrible fights pushing past waves instead of just. not throwing your body into the pile. and then seeing the final scores.
its enough to make a girl seethe.
i didnt do good but my team definitely didnt make it easy. the other day i ran into a spirit silver? it went exactly as youd expect but they were adamant on not talking and doing the most incomprehensible build. its like what planet am i on?
and i really shouldnt worry about it i get to never see them again after the game and ill just try to do better but every game is a gamble if my teams gonna be bad or if the enemy team will be worse. SOMETIMES i get really coordinated and comm heavy teams and the game is heaven. its the teams who dont talk til its time to flame u gotta worry about.
come... please play deadlock wityh me... help bring me out of low rank hell.... wish i just had someone to play with bc a good duo can sometimes just carry a game. or not honestly solo queue can just be so miserable!!
