Gears on my level and so are enemies yet they one shot my shield (highest size i could find) and 2-3 shot me in total. I have to slag them to even try dealing nearly as much damage back. Their shields are resistant to elemental attacks while mine aren't, their shock weapons deal insane damage to me but I don't to them.
fck is up with that?
Your chances of encountering smurfs drops by a ton when everyone in the lobby is solo queued. Majority of the time smurfs exist to either boost a friend or hop on an alt to be able to queue with said friend (which just circles back to that friend getting boosted).
No more dealing with bottom fragging "his sage" and 40 bombing "her jett/reyna" immortal on a gold account.
It's losing with a shitty team that causes the actual frustration. Especially when you see how much better coordinated your opponent's team is. Not being informed enemies are flanking or on site, constantly getting baited, no assistance on defending site, refusal to rotate, and the lack of ability use when required are what really causes frustrations.
Just had a match where we had fantastic chemistry. We peeked together, traded, util dumped, ulted, etc. We got our ass kicked tho LMAO, the "I'm Iron 1" Reyna one tapping us to oblivion just had a better gaming chair. Even after losing and especially to a smurf, I genuinely didn't feel mad simply because I knew my team did their best.
