What pulls more value in low rank, emotional or practical focus?

Hi so im a new tracer player, but not new overwatch player. As its known, players in low elo are extremely emotional and quick to dogpile on whoever got the lowest flat stats or straight up anyone who isnt them.

While tracer guides and high rank tracer players create extreme practical value by focussing on different targets in different situations to create space for your team. I was wondering if in low elo it might be smarter to focus the lesser performing dps and supps more. Not just would you win encounters more easily but youd also pretty quickly make their team fight amongst themselves no? If a teams mental is in ruin, you basically already won the game

Like putting every pulse bomb on the same support instead of using other opportunities

How to actually keep damage high?

I always struggle with damage, even with around 40% solo kill and maybe 60/70% last hit on high elim games im still far behind on damage?

Even with 10 more elims than the other dps' im still at like 60% of their damage.. even when im often focussing tank after killing 1 or 2 people backline or retreating

Hair often gives me sensory problems

Hi so I am diagnosed ADHD but pretty much every autistic person I have met has said I am 100% autistic, yet I have never been to a doc to confirm or deny this.. anyways

I have long curly hair, and often in the evening when its especially dry and touching my face, it makes me extremely irritated and creates sensory issues that I just cant ignore anymore. This summer is my first with long hair and its really an issue. Due to the curly nature its hard to put them in a bun or other methods so im hoping somebody could help me out here

How to actually carry super low ranks?

Hi, so im around gold 2, im bad and not ashamed to admit it, I wouldnt say im horrible as usually im pretty good in shooters reaching top ranks in some similarily paced ones. However here I wanna ask for advice based on what I struggle with most currently:

First of all, I wanna say I do not blame teammates ever, if I talk bad about teammates, thats just a question to ask about how I can play around that. Everybody gets worse or better teammates, thats how games work.

Most of my bad games(not pulling weight and I feel it):

Often I can accurately see what happend and why it happend. i wont be asking about these as I can polish them myself. But here are moments I struggle with the most. With scenario, im talking about general states many games can be in.

Scenario 1: my tank plays rather defensively, and once tanks clash it opens a window for me. When enemies are spread out its not a problem, but when enemies are pretty packed together I struggle to find a kill or even reliable damage, often enemies turn around and it either only takes half a second to kill me, or I need to recall without much value.

How do I pull weight when enemies are grouped permanently?

Scenario 2: the "counterpick" enemy dps are something like phara and junk or phara and cassidy and junk

I often struggle to get reliable picks on flying heroes, as my range falls off so heavily. How do I engage there and where should I position?

Scenario 3, the one I struggle with by far the most.

This is where I get steamrolled so often I gotta ask.

So so often I just get predicted hard, like prefired or ganged up even if my team is engaging and I wait for them to "take aggro" they just take a second and already know im coming, even with a tank inside of them? Often I can feel theyre a good communicating team while im solo, how do I circumvent good enemy communication while my team has none?

Okay this would be the main criticality points of when im losing, next with less prio, i wanna ask about games that are either close or we lose slightly below them while I am playing pretty well.

Some games, I dominate enemy supports and dps. Even to a point where im clearly solo carrying, BUT this only happens when my tank is decent and gives me the space to do so. Even if the tank isnt the better one, i can still find my way.

But the problem arises when I played very well and my team isnt too bad either, yet my tank is just buns. Taking bad engagements, not preassuring enemies, etc

How do I play around that? Even when I play well I just cant gain match momentum beyond 1 or 2 kills when my tank is just the worse player.

This isnt a complaint about worse players, im in gold, I just want advice how I can take care of myself around worse teammates, as well as the questions above when im not pulling my weight, should hopefully help me get better.

Thank you

Very curly hair, NOT daily washing gives me flairups?

Hi, i used to have very bad dandruff and never showered as a kid, then i started randomly showering every day as a teen and it was still bad then I started taking care of my hair with a lot of products but still taking care of my hair and my dandruff started going away, essentially barely any dandruff at all/nonbothering.

But now im hearing so much how daily washing esp hair is bad for it, so I take singular days where I dont. Then my dandruff really explodes like thick dense dandruff in the evening of non wash day

Am I cursed to wash every day?

I use shampoo very rarely as its bad for curly hair

Student job with high stakes and high adrenaline?

Hi im a student in a rather boring profession(clothing technology) id love a job in a crazy high stakes and high adrenaline Situations as I worked in a boring service job the last 2 years

I usually love adrenaline as I used to fight muay thai for 5 years and trained it for 7. I used to work as a cook the adrenaline is perfect but feels fake(as its just to get food for people "luxurious")

I like danger and adrenaline, so what is there? Got said nightlife bouncer but i know its mostly just standing outside..

Most stuff like firefighter needs studies or apprenticeship and I also dont have a license for cars

the strongest enemy in the game

As of right now, you can kill every enemy, destroy every item, consume every food

But not the maple sap

Its a bug but the maple sap is indestructable, theres no prompt to destroy it

Last Team Showdown

I strongly believe that arena so far only needs a different goh and augs/balancing, the system in which aug levels etc work is already fun.

But i feel like always and everytime at the end of an arena match the last 1-4 matches of which 2 teams are left just seem empty

You get scraps of money that often cant really turn anything around nor meaningfully change anything. At the same time its often but not always very obvious who is gonna win.

I think to truly give arena the fight it is there should be a showdown 3v3, a map made specifically for the last 2 teams alive. And inbetween rounds that can give the underdog a fighting chance.

Now balancing that fighting chance is difficult, you cant give out stats without it feeling unfair, you could give out multiple aug selections but thats boring

So I thought what if the last showdown turbod arena, not the champs. A best of 3, brawl type events weve seen before, events full of instant revives, raining kled tomatoes, portals, invisibility, hordes of yorick ghouls
