#placement matches

[leagueoflegends-confessions]

I'm an unranked player who just started playing their placement matches. I was placed with silver and gold players. It was so bad. I was playing Lux support with a Vayne ADC and we lost lane immediately. Game ended within 20 minutes. No surrender. I got flamed so badly that I quit for the rest of the day. She even tried to friend me just to flame me in the DMs. Like, you died more than I did and we had the same amount of kills? Yet it's okay to bully me because you're silver? Alrighty then...

Pardon me while I rant a bit. I try to keep things upbeat. But sometimes.

Some. Times.

Today, I started my placement matches. I had won every placement so far, either as Tracer (WOAH) or as Symmetra.

Imagine my glee when for the fifth game, we got to Junkertown. (the above highlight is not from that match. it is merely there to show HOW TO HOLD THE GOSH DURN CHOKE WITH A SYMM AND A  REALLY BIG SHIELD)

So, the other team of four we were teamed up with had a pretty good comp. There was a Mercy, and I believe an Ana? A Junkrat who switched off a lot, and some dude who started out as a Rein (I was psyched) but then switched over to Roadhog. I was less psyched, but still feeling pretty good.

That changed. Rapidly.

It wasn’t until the other team was approaching the third point that I can actually remember getting healed. (you see where this is going, yes? just wait, it gets better)

The opposite team was doing full-on pirate ship and rocking it. We didn’t have enough tank, and our other healers weren’t sharing to stop them.

Of course we got blamed. Specifically, my Symm pick. (here’s where it gets better)

The next round of J’town starts up, we’re on attack. THE DUDE TOOK SYMM. LIKE. LONG ENOUGH TO START THE GAME WITH ME COMMITTED TO TRACER. Of course he wanted me to Bastion. I told him flat out, I suck at Bastion.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I do. 

At the end of the whole thing (we barely made it around the first corner) of *course* they blamed the entire loss on Symm. Natch, Thirty pointed out the utter stupidity of taking a 200 hour main’s main out of spite because they’re too idiotic to realize that maybe THAT WASN’T WHY WE LOST. I may have embellished a bit, but the gist is the same.

Needless to say, we played another round, and me-oh-my, we brought that round back for the pretty green plus side.

And yes. I absoLUTEly played Symm.

Stream Tonight : 8pm PST

Just a little reminder to those interested. I'm going to be streaming some Overwatch, specifically my placement matches for the new season.

Around 10pm, I'm going to switch it over to GTA Online with a couple of my buddies (warning : some themes may be deemed offensive, just know that most of it is in jest, dont take it seriously), however this may change. Ill try to keep it updated.

So join in on the laughs. I'll be on my mic, talking, commenting, making silly jokes and lame references. Heck, i'll pay attention to the chat to answer questions!

See ya there!

I finally got around to doing my placement matches... And uh... I want to fucking die. I’m not an awful player, I like to think I’m average in skill. I’m not great with aim but I’m not terrible either. I just got the worst players, people who wanted to go torb on attack, or wouldn’t change from Hanzo even though they weren’t getting any picks, or people who refused to heal or tank.... Luckily I’m back in Silver, but yikes this was an awful experience.
