Your Most Frustrating Overwatch Moments

Share the events that happened in game that made you want to scream with rage.

Tonight I've been on the climb, got my SR to 3483 (on Xbox) and started my game to get into Masters. Game level was 3100 and there was an actual Platinum level player on my team whilst the other team got full diamonds. We get 3 support mains (me included) on the team so I have to play main tank because nobody else on the team will pick it.

Literally as we walk out of the spawn room one of the guys in chat says "I can't actually be bothered playing this game, I'm not sure why I even searched for a match" - something everyone on the team wants to hear at the start of the game.

We proceed to play out a 2-2 on Temple of Anubis, with the other team having 3 minutes to capture point A to win the game. We hold out for a solid minute and a half when someone on our team leaves the game. We get trounced, we lose the game, I miss my shot at masters and I'm left sat at my desk pondering what could have been.

There's always tomorrow I guess but I had to vent this garbage out. Have you guys experienced similar feelings of woe?

having teams of overlapping roles. 6 tracer mains, 4 zen players and no tanks, or the best one: 5 tank players and a builder main. I just want a role queue so I can guarantee at least 2/2/2

Any human interaction is pretty much tilting me into oblivion for some time now in video games.

Oh and i have one game that i want to forget. First we full hold on defence in HLC. Then all of a sudden one dude on my team starts to talk that this game is ez and he is smurfing from high masters (low plat game). We ask him why would he even think of doing it. He says cuz he has nothing better to do. Then he leaves the game. We play whole attack 5v6 and can't crack first 33% to save our lives. At the end that smurfing dude comes back in the game and luls that we are bad and can't win ez game. I didn't play OW for a whole month after that.

The intelligence of the average Overwatch player is the most frustrating thing in the game.

When you phrase it like that it makes it seem like your team had 5 players, so it kinda makes sense that you lost.

The most frustrating moment is... when I'm not having fun, and it happens a lot in this game.

I'm old and don't really care too much about being the best around (hell I'm silver/gold), that doesn't mean I'm not competitive, and that's why I play comp.

Sometimes this game just kicks you in the nuts thou:

  • I really dislike 2CP maps -> a session of 10 comp games 7 of them on 2CPs
  • I can't stand quitters/leaver -> a session of 10 games you get 5 matches with a leaver
  • I hate people on comms, just to be on comms - Random Italians/French/Russian/whatever talking about nonensense, munching in the mic, sneezing, doing the "XQC" interpretation, etc...

When these things happen (and sometimes they happen together) I only have 1 solution, days (if not weeks) off OW, I alreayd get enough stress from my daily job, I play to have fun, if I'm not having it.. well plenty of other games (or simply go to a pub with some mates)

Hehe well I am Italian, and I'm not a pro, so yes. :)

But you won't find open mic here, neither parents/wives/kids/friends shouting behind my back, and since I hate people doing it, when I smoke I don't use comms, when I sneeze i don't press the button, and I only eat in front of a PC when I'm working and don't have time for a break.

Oh yes and at 40 I really don't aspire of beahving like some 20 years old Twitch "celebrity" :P

Friendly reminder to smash that "mute" button as soon as you realize a teammate won't have any positive impact from his comms (most french players in my experience)

Why doesn't it make sense then?

Because I know for a fact I have gotten significantly better at the game over the past couple years, which means I was overrated when I first got placed, or I am currently underrated. The math does not check out

But what if everyone else around you became better as well?

Exactly this. Everyone is supossed to get better, which means your rank should stay more or less the same if you spend the same amount of time.

Sometimes it honestly makes me angry that masters games comes down to which team has the better smurf/alting players. Like I completely understand why people would want to play on an alt account, but I don't understand why some people (DPS mains are the worst offenders of this) just get another copy of the game to play the same heroes that they would on their main.

Also when I was in diamond last season, I had a guy that was, although friendly and cooperative, said after a loss "well this account has fallen too low, time to buy another account". This really just rubbed me the wrong way since not everyone has tons of money to afford that, and there are many better things (imo) to spend your money on. I just can't help but think if more DPS mains made tank alt accounts (even if it's just to play zarya/hog), there would be so many less games with triple (or even quad) DPS/solo tank/solo healer

When you start a game and your team is in an argument from last game.
