Stop trying to force triple support on your team if they don’t WANT IT OR NEED IT.

Now, I understand that with open queue, there are going to be triple comps or even quads. It can get worse than even that. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. Especially if your team has no coordination. 2-2-2 is supposedly the standard, and I find it often works best when I’m in games. So I tend to prefer it. But in each game I’ve had triple, I don’t even often win those. It’s just boring, drawn out, and everyone is incompatible and too unwilling to find a middle ground that works before the game ends.

I’m not saying 2-2-2 should be the way everyone plays; I’m saying that forcing a comp onto several people who very clearly don’t want it just doesn’t make sense to me.

Thats it. That’s literally the entire message. Stop trying to force triple support on people, because not all people want to play such a boring way. I myself don’t like it, but if there’s really no other choice? Sure, I guess. I play a mean Mantis, so…yeah.

(Anyway, any blatantly rude comments will not be replied to by me. Last time I posted there was a weird dude who was being insanely rude.)

Stop. Leaving. Games.

Stop. Leaving. GAMES.

Stop. LEAVING. GAMES.

STOP. LEAVING. GAMES.

SPECIFICALLY IN COMP.

ACTUAL LOSERS LEAVING GAMES WHEN IT GETS TOUGH. I’m SICK of getting them in my games, and I’m sick of having to endure that horribly fucking feeling in my gut after someone leaves and doesn’t come back. It’s genuinely so annoying and I’ve had enough of it. Stop LEAVING THE FUCKING GAME AND THUG IT OUT

THE REST OF THE TEAM IS HAVING A HARD TOME TOO, BUT WE AREN’T LEAVING. Stop giving up so easily, because it’s not fair to EVERYONE else. WHY even bother queuing up the fucking game if you’re just gonna LEAVE THE MATCH??? GO PLAY SOMETHING ELSE??? LIKE WHAT THE FUCK? I HATE surrendering, and I hate surrendering even more WHEN IT’S BECAUSE SOME FUCKING LOSER CAN’T HANDLE TOUGH GAMES AND JUST LEAVES. AND THEN THEY DON’T RECEIVE APPROPRIATE PUNISHMENT FOR FUCKING DOING IT, JUST A 5-15 MINUGE RESTRICTION.

FIRST fucking game on, and I get a leaver on my rank up game to diamond 1.

Am I saying you can’t play the role period? No. I’m saying DO NOT PLAY THE ROLE IN COMP IF YOU ARE AWARE YOU AREN’T PROFICIENT IN THE ROLE, OR HAVE ZERO HISTORY OR GAME SENSE REGARDING YOUR ROLE.

That’s it. Thats literally it. Don’t feel FORCED to play a role because everyone else picks one. Communicate. If that doesn’t work, I’d ordinarily say “try your best” in the past. But I’ve since learned that it isn’t enough. If someone feels the team is lacking something, let THEM do it. Ego’s have no place in a mode where people want to win, and need to actively synchronize somehow to win.

My next post will probably be about egos.

Also— on another note. Please stop getting on your healers about healing you when you get low, then get healed while STILL standing in the line of fire against mass damage, only to then die because of said mass damage. If you are getting focused, you’ll have to change your tactics unfortunately.

Please don’t use new characters in comp that you’ve NEVER practiced or used in other settings. That puts everyone on your team at a disadvantage. I’m not saying you can NEVER use the character. But please don’t use them for the first time in comp.

Stop. Throwing. Games.

Stop. Leaving. Games.

Even when things SEEM unfavorable, stop inconveniencing your team further. Like seriously, I swear there needs to be HARSHER PENALTIES for people that actively throw or leave games.

This game I just had? I started off on Mantis, died to dive, and swapped to White Fox.6Our strange disconnected before the enemy hit second point on the school bus map. Our Blade goes to Black Widow. They’re spamming pings for heals when THEY are putting themselves into an entire team fight on their own or they go to a spot I, as a healer, cannot reach them. Or they need heals when I genuinely have to choose between them, or the tanks. The tanks are often right in front of me, they are often not in my line of sight at all, and again, if they are, its in an unfavorable fight where they are in their ancestral sword form, where it takes longer to heal them. Did I try? Of course. But I can’t do that AND fight off the dive and other DPS attacking me and Rocket. Were there times I was simply too slow to catch them before they died? A few, but none that weren’t understandable. And I acknowledge my failures in those cases.

I try to surrender when we have a leaver(tank) AND a thrower(dps), but then said dps refuses to just accept it so it doesn’t go through. Or they come OUT of spawn and sit outside so they don’t get disconnected. They’d rather prolong the match and make it hellish for everyone else. I report them, but I know for a fact that they’ll only be restricted for what, 5, 15 minutes from comp?? Like seriously man.
