I keep missing the cluster, falling too far from the target, getting caught before i land, etc etc. Is there a routine i can do or something to stop being ass?

I've had a pretty good mental playing spidey for the past few seasons. Honestly the only reason I think I enjoy rivals is because of spidey and how much damn fun he is to play. Learning his kit and all its intricacies has been the most fun I've had playing a multiplayer game in a long time.

But, damn. I'm starting to get tired of it. Since season 8 started I feel like I've just been getting farmed. People chase me across the map, Bucky's land a hook and I'm insta-dead, WF is impossible to dive and makes other supps way harder to dive, etc. I've never played early season ranked before so maybe that's why I feel like I'm walking through quicksand? Even when I'm locked in and performing well, I feel like the games are just unwinnable. I'll kill the entire backline, but my entire team is already dead. I'll distract the supps for the entire teamfight, but we still lose.

The nature of playing spidey is always looking at what you're doing wrong and what you have to improve- that's what I love about him. But Jesus, it's demoralizing to play an engagement absolutely perfectly and still need to leave or even die because the opponent is an overshield merchant with quasi-immortality. I've spent hours practicing, reviewing, learning, and all my effort gets stomped by a CnD managing to juggle between her fade and bubble cooldowns.

Some games it's impossible to dive backline so I swap to SL. Suddenly, we start rolling them. I have a fraction of the time on SL as I do on spidey, yet he can get 10x the value for 1/10th the effort. I need to be absolutely dialed with spidey to get any value at all, but can be blasting music and trace a big ahh dino head with SL and carry. What the hell? It baffles me that Netease can cook so hard with a hero like spidey then make overshield slop heroes that feel so arbitrary and needlessly overtuned.

I often take breaks from playing when needed, and I'll probably take one soon, but what do you guys do when playing spidey just feels like shit? I feel like that panel of him sitting on a ledge in the rain rn frfr

I’m honestly getting sick and tired of all the toxic comments I’m getting all of the time and this community genuinely fucking sucks dude I’ve had to turn off voice chat because of teammates bullying me whenever I play spider-man and they make fun of my Tourette’s so I had to turn of voice chat.
I have turned off voice chat because they shit is genuinely unbearable I just had a game where my teammates were saying it was a spider-man diff even though I was the only one on my team with a KDA ratio and it’s not like I don’t look out for the supports I’ve practically have had to give up on diving the enemy backline even though I do well at that and it’s my favourite part of Spider-man I’ve been forced to protect the healers because if I don’t if they die I get blamed and this is genuinely just unfair and unfun with all the toxicity and it’s not like I otp spider-man I switch when I have to, but if I’ve ever played spider-man at any point in a game the enemy team chat then says in gamechat “L champ farming Spider-man” and I’m sick of this shit it’s gotten to point where I just want to quit this fucking game and go back to playing marvel vs capcom and guilty gear because atleast the community doesn’t bully me because of the characters that I play or make fun of my Tourette’s or my autism and they don’t call me retarted and other shit

Oh yeah and don’t get me started on all the fucking counter swapping if I ever do somewhat good

I see alot of the combos in this sub have simple swing turned on, i find it clunky when trying to traverse so i have it off. Are the combos still possible with it off? Is it better to have it on in high level play?

What are your thoughts and opinions?

I could probably be lorded by now, I just know that everyone thinks spider is a throw pick who isn’t getting value or elims. I have the most fun playing him but I also want other people to have fun so I just fill for whatever the composition is, and it’s usually a second vanguard or 3rd strategist

EDIT: I am a console (ps5) player
