Accountability
I've accepted that Emerald rank is populated 50% by people suffering from a brain-eating parasite and 50% by filler accounts put here to pad the queue times.
I’m a Doom main. I had competent supports this game and kept my deaths to a minimum, but my DPS could not wrap their head around the concept of not having a stationary meat-shield in front of them 24/7.
After a hard-fought first round on defense, we moved to attack. I asked them in chat to please not just let the enemy team hold cap for free without pushing up. Their actual response? "Just don't let them touch."
Then, predictable as clockwork:
They refused to walk past the first doorway.
They stood in the choke and got farmed on cooldown.
I was forced to repeatedly dive straight onto point solo just to trigger a contest and force the enemy team to rotate back, because otherwise my team would literally just watch the match end from the spawn exit.
Despite me creating space, our Torb finished 18-12 and our Pharah ended 15-14, and naturally, the entire loss was pinned on me for not standing in front of them absorbing spam.
Does this ever end, or is this just the perpetual Overwatch rank experience?

I’d appreciate anyone taking a look at the replay to tell me what I could have done differently to carry this, or if I'm just doomed to rot in Emerald until I learn how to mind-control my team.
