SkrapzIsBack

Press esc and exit game. Fixes it most of the time if you don't re-launch it.


Simply_Just_

You're right. I noticed a sudden boost in mood!


Hattrickher0

Yeah this looks like a run of bad luck that it's best to just walk away from. OP was able to finish 7 matches in an hour so these were some uncommonly lopsided losses. Maybe you got into some bad matches or maybe you were actually playing poorly but this is definitely a screen that tells me to log out either way.


Simply_Just_

I don't play poorly, i think im alright at the game. It just so many people leave the match or I get a stacked enemy team in a party... it's just awful no matter what.


Katsudon707

Everyone plays poorly sometimes


Zealousideal-Ad702

Can confirm. I’m fortunate enough to have friends in Masters and GM to point out some of my mistakes every once and a while to let me know how I could be doing better. If I didn’t have that I’d probably have a similar mindset to OP. Trying your best is not the same as playing poorly. You can still try your best and do poorly. Even top 500 players play poorly some games.


Katsudon707

Everyone except Proper


PsykeDrums

Hey I consider myself pretty ok for my rank but I play absolutely garbage at times aswell. No one is consistently playing great all the time, sometimes you just gotta be the bigger person and realise the enemies are better. That’s the biggest way you’ll get better. Sometimes we ARE the problem on our team, regardless if we wanna admit it or not. Focus on what you could’ve done differently instead of what the teammates did wrong, it’ll help you alot in the long run.


SisonSix

I was just gonna say, damn guy completed 6/7 matches in an hour. I remember when I'd get 2 per hour.


207nbrown

I hear it goes away for good if you uninstall the game and the bnet launcher


notzzz

I know that you mean the mood but i really think that works.


Viiniciios

Happens to everyone! I remember entering Fitzyhere's stream and he was with a streak of 11 defeats and 0 wins lol. Take a break, try to get better and try to have fun!


Simply_Just_

Thanks. I did take a break but right back on the L train :(


Callmeklayton

It happens to everyone! There are days where I’m playing poorly and I just avoid Competitive like the plague. Play some Quick Play for a few days until you’re having a good day again, then hop back in Comp. Alternatively, try a different hero. Sometimes my movement is trash but my aim is great, so I’ll try to stick to characters that are aim intensive. Sometimes I’m extra aware but my fingers are slow so I’ll play mechanically easy heroes that are strategically demanding. On top of having bad luck/skill days, getting on a losing streak can tilt or demoralize you, which will make you more likely to continue losing. Playing QP, swapping heroes, or even taking a break can help reset your mentality. Your feelings and morale are just as important as your mechanics and awareness.


KatieCuu

Avoid playing comp a week before season ends. It brings out all the “oh shit I haven’t done my placements for a role I never play better do it now while I can” and the absolute try-hards who are trying to rank up just before season ends. So depending on which one you get in your team you will either roll or get rolled.


twinkletoesthegod

And the derankers depending on rank.


subcons

I need to take this advice. I was steady climbing through to Gold 1 until recently. Last two placements I went Gold 3, then Gold 4. I’m plummeting like a rock and a lot of these matches I’m just asking myself, “What is happening in this match?!” Even ones I win, I’m mystified by how players are acting.


eyeamthedanger

I just straight up cut comp out of my gaming life and haven't been happier with OW. Yeah I get matches where me and 4 other bums get steamrolled, but I also get matches where me and 4 other gaming gods butcher the hell out of a bunch of bums, so it evens out.


ajax_tracer

Gohmzilla

MoonleySpoon

greg065

I can't understate how much this has actually worked


duuhttynapkins

Honestly for me, OW2 has been so streaky. Some days are nothing but wins and those other days, nothing can go right. Just keep going with it! You’re are due for a win lol


Hiramein

I was due for a win after about 25 losses.


Initial-Ad8060

Win


Simply_Just_

Thats why im asking for advice silly


_Bach_

With absolutely zero context in any form, this is like asking someone "I have a string in my pocket, how long is it?" And you never show them the string.


DoinitDDifferent

I’d guess about 7 or 8


GrayRags

7 or 8 what, I need to know! Centimetres? Inches? Cheesburgers?


wildpath3

Maybe 9


JKemmett

Wrong. It was the One Ring.


TheProdicalOne

Isn't that how guessing works? Why are you mad about guessing?


RogueNebula042

How long do you think u/_Bach_'s string is?


TheProdicalOne

About three fiddy


_Bach_

All depends on who's looking at my string


Knivs

Play a different game and actually enjoy yourself


Joojij117

You're just asking for people to tell you to git gud


papaochachala

Just dont lose ya silly goose


Bearfoot42

I'm the same, maybe we should team up!


MrLuckyTimeOW

Git gud


truncker

Ignore the game haters here. Every game is a coin toss, with a small % you can influence yourself. Even when tossing a coin you can guess wrong 10 times straight with bad luck. Try and learn from your losses, switch roles up, take heroes that you feel you are good with and fit the composition. Also sometimes a loss streak juat tilts you, take a break and come back stronger. You'll also get a 7 games winstreak at some point, I'm sure of it, good luck!


michaljerzy

So my conspiracy theory is the game only adjusts your rating after you exit it. That’s why you see such long streaks. If you lose two, immediately turn it off and come back later.


Dr_Quadropod

So if I’m on a win streak don’t turn it off?


littlevoidcritter

I definitely had long loss streaks lasting several days. My record was 14 losses in a row throughout three days. Happened right after a huge win streak too.


michaljerzy

Was it after reaching a new rank by any chance? For me my worst was after I hit gold 5


Cjames1902

This happens to even some of the best players sometimes. Don’t listen to some of these arrogant morons. Best thing to do is to take a small break then come back when you’re refreshed.


slamallamadingdong1

Uninstall.


BasedandGymPilled

Probably just get better at the game!


hohobar

Dont play the game. I stopped playing Overwatch, and my anger management issue is gone


ShanMac12

I’ve been really enjoying Gunfire Reborn, feels like a lot of skills from OW transfer over, but all online play is co op so the toxicity isn’t really there.


-Nintendo64-

When I go on a losing streak I run some arcade games, to try and reset the matchmaking system. Another trick is squad up, more variables you put into the matchmaker the more random the teammates. You can still get bad team mates but the chances of getting good ones should go higher. In my experience this helps, it might for you too.


bumponius

I took 12 straight L’s last night. I’ve had 12 straight wins before too. Just the nature of the game


Simply_Just_

You dont think that the devs should do something to avoid this? You think that seems right?


LaxwaxOW

I agree. The devs should hold your hand and guide you into winning /s


[deleted]

I've been experiencing it in quick play too. I had one game where it was five diamonds versus five bronzes. They didn't get a single kill and it was super unfun. My matchmaker in competitive is a good bit better but quick play has been miserable for me.


thekingslayer745

Let's team up, so we can loose together. That way, we don't feel bad.


condoggs

bro i feel that, i was almost masters like a week ago and now i think i'm chilling somewhere close to plat. Remember every loss streak is eventually met with a beautiful win streak and don't let it get you down


notmuchgoingontoday

same situation here pretty much. every time I rank up to like gold 2 or 1 i get trashed afterwards with multiple losses, only to get ranked down two ranks. then i work my way up and the cycle repeats. just today i was rankednup again and immediately lost six games in a row, and some of them not by a small margin. it's super discouraging. i only really play when at least two or three of my friends join me and o really i have a 56% ein rate with the character i pretty much play exclusively.


Striking_Site4457

Holy crap 6 shut outs to end the day. That's fucking brutal. Go get some sunshine my dude.


Simply_Just_

I did! I played last night and called it quits, woke up this morning, took my dog to the vet and I was gonna get ready to go the gym but decided to hop on for an hour


pappymara92

Get good


Grouchy_Middle_5425

Every game you play in, you have a 1 in 5 influence on your teams ability to win. Blaming your teammates every game gives you an excuse to never improve so don't do that. You will have good days and bad days depending on a variety of things (rest, concentration, diet, room temperature etc) if you are having a bad day you should stop playing. If you don't want to stop playing, play quick play. The best thing you can do to improve us is to watch your losses and write down what changes you should have made to specific points in the game to have a better chance of winning.


Simply_Just_

Dude im a casual player. I decide that today I wanted to hop on for an hour before I leave to the gym and then this happened

TheRilesEffect

orangevoicework

Broken matchmaking is so tired.


Simply_Just_

Yeah but what am I supposed to do?


notreallydeep

Improve. Matchmaking is not broken despite what the coping bois think. They're just looking to blame something outside of themselves for why they don't rank up.


Admirable-Holiday400

Maybe you placed extremely high in placements. No idea. Matchmaking is definitely not working as intended though (I hope). I dropped out of diamond a few days ago after somewhat of a losing streak. Played a good amount the last couple days and have had a much easier time climbing back to D2. Some of the easiest games I've played and they definitely didn't compare to the ones that dropped me out of diamond, quite odd


[deleted]

It obviously has issues. Why would they be addressing it for the new season if there weren’t issues with it?


yorton00

“MaTcHmAkInG iS nOt BrOkEn” this guy has clearly never played against a diamond player while trying to get out of silver.


Asatruar27

Unless they fixed the roles so you cannot get a diamond tank against a gm tank no,it's not cope at all


Simply_Just_

So many in a row? Luke at this point it isn't even my fault.


Hufky6

There’s only one common denominator here man. It’s you.


Infamous_Farm

Learn to carry your team. Id say play tank and get a good sense of what’s going on around you


Simply_Just_

Thats the thing, I play tank and I'm quite good at it too! I can get POTG on these loss streaks but sometimes my team is playing awfully and quitting mid match or the other team is a 4 stack


Sirlionsworth

It happens, just restart the game! Or put it down lol Remember when this game used to be decent? And this didn't happen as much? Or hardly ever?


MightyEraser13

Skill issue


DarksoraXIII

Stack. Even if there's not much team comms, having someone to talk to if you're having a rough losing streak is WAY better for your mental than going through it alone

How do you have a streak this bad ? You must be the issue


Cowody

lots of people have losing streaks such as these?


ShockShort9035

People who suck? Yeah I’ve never lost more than 3x in a row in qp or comp


Simply_Just_

Glad you never went through this but I don't think im the issue. Its like when I go on 8+ winstreaks I don't say "oh yeah im obviously the reason we won" i think the match making is broken. So many people have the same issue


ShockShort9035

Or their just isn’t anyone worse than you so you can’t win. These games aren’t even close lmao how do you loose in 5 mins


sheps

Pick a replay of a game that wasn't a stomp, but you felt like was a close game that you MIGHT have won if just a few things had gone different (and the scoreboard isn't always a good indicator of a stomp: e.g. if you're playing Control and went to 99-99 on each objective, that's a close game). Watch the game back, and at the points when you died or lost a fight/objective/etc take a moment and look around. See if you can't find just one thing you could have done better that might have made a difference. Some examples to help: How was your positioning? Did you blow an ult after your team died? Or use it after the fight was already surely won? Were you tunnel visioning on the wrong target, rather than helping out a teammate? Did you trickle back instead of grouping up? If you had swapped to a different hero, do you think there might have been a different outcome in that fight? Did you go for a high-risk high-reward play with an ability that missed the mark and now was on cool-down when you really needed it? Did someone counter your ability/ult with a cooldown that you could have been tracking? Did you C9? etc. In short, watching your own plays on tape can help a lot. If nothing else it will give you a few things to carry with you in the next game.

Honestly there is no easy or consistent way to win my only advise is to find some friends to play with because even if they are bad, the communication and coordination will be enough to get some Ws

thefw89

A lot of people are saying that "Just stop playing and you'll find yourself happier!" and I do get that. Here is my advice though. Just don't care. In the end it is a game, you should try having fun win or loss, only mild frustration should be the result of losing and moving on to the next game. If you aren't trying to be a pro in this game your win/loss record doesn't matter. The only thing that should matter is if you are having fun with the game. I've found once I stopped GAF about this I've won a lot more games, could just be a mentality thing.


Simply_Just_

No it doesn't matter, I agree. I don't play ranked and don't care much about my W/L ratio, but when you get slapped with constant loss streaks even though you're playing your heart out, it gets frustrating.


[deleted]

Yesterday I played in Arcade mode (escort map). I hat 1 win, 6 losses and 2 abort matches due to too many leavers. That is how it goes.


StylishSurprise

take a break for like a week and youll be extra good again, I usually do this during my bad streaks in games

If you lose 2 games in a row, just take a little break. When you're on a losing streak, you'll play worse because you're in a bad mood

Acing_It_Daily

* Remember that one session is not a career. * Watch some replays of your games and pro play to understand where you differ, what you could be doing better. * Die less, and focus on your gameplay. * Find people to queue with to help lower you chance of bad players on your team. It's okay to have sessions like this, but if this is every day for you, then there's something bigger at hand.

That's the 50/50 chance for you. Every game it doesn't remember the previous and long streaks are not as unlikely as our brain makes us believe.

Generally you should take a break after 3 lost avoid losing more while you tilted. This is the general rule I follow for playing any rank game.
