Rank is a joke at this point.

At this point the rank system is a complete joke and we need a flat reset. I refuse to believe that most of the people I play with or against are all suppose to be on the same skill level. Either stomp or be stomped no in between. While I'm here swapping and counter swapping my teammates are stuck busy eating crayons before going into round two asking, "should we swap?" Yes mother of God yes. I shouldn't have to type on console. When the fuck are we getting a second tank? Team goes triple support off the bat, goes triple dps then back to triple support before thinking, "Maybe a second tank is the answer?"

Had another game, we got walked from start to end, I go from loki to ultron and then see, we went from two to triple supports. I hop off for the last 10 seconds of the round to go iron man and got ace with a triple kill. Ending score of 5 and 5. Rest of the team is 1 and 3 and some even 5 deaths in. Go into the next round the extra support went dps and someone asked, "why did you leave us with one healer?" I torn into that immediately. I was heated saying, "I swapped off first, in one life as a dps I got more shit done than the rest of the team did. Those one deaths across the board on both their supports? That was me!" I tried to do a surrender at the start of the round, before this interaction, when this interaction started they then surrendered saying, "you're too busy typing." Did you really think this was winnable? Whole match non of y'all counter swapped or put pressure on the backline.

Another game I made a play as the thing, went into the back, got an invis dead, but got the attention of a gambit and an Iron man and a thor on me for a good while. So down a healer and got 3 on me. Easy for the rest of my 5 members to get a pick. No... teammate wanted to blame me saying check the stats. We checked the stats and behold, I had the better stats not that it matters since the plays I made don't show up, the amount of times I went to peel supports don't show up.

I've had some of the worst matches today i think I've ever had today. Like if I play badly do I get not brain dead teammates? Do I get people that try to swap If things aren't working?

Hello brothers, a fellow Loki variant here. I finally picked up Thor thanks to blood hunt, did quick play matches for him to get a better feel. Some extra tips would be appreciated in how to be effective as Thor.

Typically I'll play Thor more as a flanker kind of tank to go off angles and usually meet one of the enemy teams dps and shut them down before using that very off angle to surprise the enemy back line or tank kidnap. I've found some better success doing this vs just front lining purely. If Thor is solo tanking though, the success varies where I'm just constantly front line pressure until I see a squishy and rune awaken their hp down. In a solo tank scenario, I'm basically trying my best to displace some of the enemy teams formation, either tanks, dps or a quick kill on a slightly out of place support.

In case anyone is wondering my typical engagements look like this, storm surge to corner and move the enemy and for 50 extra hp, lightning realm for the slow, or grounding a problematic flyer, a quick bonk to enable rune awakening.

Any tips would be appreciated for glorious purpose. As my tanks right now, coming from support, are mag, thing and peni.
