i used to be like this, sometimes in the heat of the moment ill still blame losses on others... but ive also realized sometimes they are underpreforming because something isn't clicking, one time my ana was doing HORRIBLE, her healing was literally terrible, but i was in a good mood so instead of flaming them i just went lucio and babysat them, attacking tracers, helping them reposition, and healing off poke damage, and ana ended up carrying the game with great antinades, clutch heals, and good ultimates. it was a real-life example of "i could have done better even with a bad teammate" being visibly shown, that i defended our ana, which took away the stress of fending off flankers, and let her pop off. so now instead of looking at a bad ally and seeing them suck, i instead try to think of ways to help that ally improve.

Alot of supports that flame DPS or the other support don't get that If something is causing them to not contribute much and they're not switching what can YOU do to mitigate or make up for that? If you have a selfish dps Moira for example go Kiri or bap to help the tank and take advantage of her off angles Sombra farming ur Ashe or bast all game? Go brig or Moira and go on bodyguard duty Ur tank is having trouble fighting the other tank? Go ana or Kiri for the game changing ult/CDs

This reminded me of what pisses me off in metal ranks the most. Complete lack of awareness and lack of trying. Imo, if I get picked by flanking Tracer, it's fine as long as my team reacts and * t r i e s * to save me, even if they fail. Yet more often than not, metal players don't even look at you in the vod they tunnel vision something while not being super busy making plays. It's so frustrating when they just stand there and refuse to move their camera while you can clearly hear footsteps and hero voice lines like "I've been attacked" from their position. It's like, am I the only one having decent headset, or are people that bad?

[@psbauman]

You can immediately tell when no one is on the same page. They may even be playing their "best" hero but the lack of coordination is almost always a guaranteed L unless the other team is worse or have one or two throwers.

I've watched so many replays where I was convinced XYZ healer was making weird choices but watching them in action actually explained a lot.

[@aemortalidiot3979]

Comment is 2 months old, but it makes it more interesting to see that people are in the same rank for different reasons. EG: gigachad aimbot vs consistent positioning. This comes into play when people flame, because they might be at this rank because they can hit all their shots, and they see their teammate, who cant and has to compensate by taking safer trades. And neither can match the other's playstyle and play poorly together in a game they should otherwise win. No exuse for toxcicity, but an interesting perspective that comes from it.

[@derunfassbarebielecki]

@@aemortalidiot3979 Some people, especially those with ADHD can have very fluctuating skill, because attention isn't always at an appropriate level. I know this, because I'm the kind of player who sometimes has godly aim or positioning and other times I'm playing like I was brain-dead.
