A report from the depths of low rank hell in OW
A lot of y’all are probably higher ranked than silver or bronze so I’m here to give you the whole low rank experience.
A lot of people seem to think Orisa + Winston is a good strat on attack
You can easily play Pharah against hitscans because they can’t fucking hit you
Pretty much no one talks in vc
Tanks often don’t even read chat messages that are usually telling them to switch to a shield tank
2 offtanks who don’t want to switch
Healers think they’re better than the dps who can’t do damage because they’re not being healed
Forget everything you’ve learned about countering heroes because it does not apply here
Sometimes you find that rare player who’s really good and nice and it just feels so great
Blaming teammates for your own mistakes
Many people claim to be smurfs but most of them clearly aren’t
Little kids screaming in vc about how they can carry on bastion
At least one person leaves in every game
Usually the leavers are supports or tilted dps
Blaming the game matchmaking for your own mistakes
Pretty much no one tracks ults or any abilities
People get mad when you point out that they’re being countered
You get to play some weird comps because the game just doesn’t work the same way as it does in higher ranks
Obviously everyone isn’t awful and there’s a lot of good stuff in lower ranks but it gets kinda annoying sometimes lmao
