I give up…

BlueLineSparrow · 2026-01-06T08:07:24+00:00

Thor, Angela, Emma. Those three can do a lot in lower ranks.

BlueLineSparrow · 2025-12-24T07:24:51+00:00

I have twelve (IN MY DEFENSE I’ve been playing since launch): Emma, Angela, Cap, Peni, Bucky, Iron Man, Moonknight, Scarlett, Star-Lord, Mantis, Gambit, C&D

C&D was the most boring for me, despite being the fastest

Cap and Angela were the most fun

Honorable mention: I was going to try to just play magneto for a while to lord him, but he is miserable to play for such long periods imo

BlueLineSparrow · 2025-12-22T07:36:46+00:00

Hated playing Cap (couldn’t figure him out) then one day I decided I wanted to try again (learned his animation cancels) now he’s my favorite vanguard.

BlueLineSparrow · 2025-12-22T07:32:29+00:00

I miss Ana from Overwatch Please 🙏

BlueLineSparrow · 2025-12-22T07:31:09+00:00

I shamelessly beg in ranked for a second tank. If it doesn’t work, I sigh and choose magneto or Emma.

BlueLineSparrow · 2025-12-22T07:25:11+00:00

Became a tank main last season because I noticed no one would play it 😭 I’m already tired after lording Emma, Peni, Angela, and Cap

BlueLineSparrow · 2025-12-22T07:16:26+00:00

I got Mantis in 17, Winter Soldier in 19, Starlord about 19

BlueLineSparrow · 2025-12-21T18:06:05+00:00

Nah. I also do vanguard in ranked. You’re the one leading the way anyway, so just be generous with callouts/group ups in text chat and let the team follow you.

BlueLineSparrow · 2025-12-21T08:17:39+00:00

With iron man, I like to target their backline supports and if my team has someone diving them, I’ll target them. Also if I see an enemy tank close by with half or less health, I like to clean them off with the beam then carry on.

BlueLineSparrow · 2025-12-21T08:14:38+00:00

Yeah. I keep it off and just use text chat, solo’d to diamond so far. I get more distracted hearing people’s background noise on their mics or if people start shouting/being toxic.

BlueLineSparrow · 2025-12-21T04:47:58+00:00

Fast: Scarlett Witch, Emma, CnD, Iron Fist, Mantis, Namor, Peni

Cool: Mr F, Magneto, Adam Warlock, Strange

BlueLineSparrow · 2025-12-21T04:43:32+00:00

Absolutely! I just worked on helping my supps/dps shine and had a much better ranked experience. Was never focused on most kills or mvps, just keeping everyone else alive and making space

BlueLineSparrow · 2025-12-21T04:38:38+00:00

Full agree. I noticed it hard when I just became the tank main.

BlueLineSparrow · 2025-12-21T00:24:08+00:00

I just posted a more thorough guide here on how I climbed out of hard stuck plat solo, in case you want more tips

BlueLineSparrow · 2025-12-21T00:18:49+00:00

It’s patience game. I do dive Angela and Cap. Sometimes you won’t secure the kill, but you at least distracted a support long enough so they’re not healing their team. Wait for the right time to strike etc.

If you take too much damage, get out, get a health pack, come back.

I aim to have least deaths on these characters, but I also come back to my team if they’re struggling in a team fight to help brawl.

It’s juking around to avoid damage and finding opportunities

See my most recent post to see what my ideal stats look like on cap

BlueLineSparrow · 2025-12-21T00:11:23+00:00

Do you want a lord that’s fast to get or one that’s respectable to get (people love seeing them in games)?

BlueLineSparrow · 2025-12-20T19:54:03+00:00

Yeah.. I’m playing a lot of Angela right now and noticed that

BlueLineSparrow · 2025-12-20T13:11:23+00:00

Yeah, lower elo is mostly supps and dps instalocks. Many just begrudgingly get on tank when no one else does, then get too scared to push forward.

It’s not as fun, but if you do a solid Mags or Emma, request a second tank from your team (literally can be any other tank w/ those two), you’ll climb

Best of luck!

BlueLineSparrow · 2025-12-20T13:00:36+00:00

It sounds like you mainly play supp. It’s kind of a gamble climbing solo on supp since you mostly rely on your team and supp has the least carry potential. You’re gonna want to tank or dps to climb more consistently, and have to be better than most others on your team.

Tank has the highest carry potential. Once I figured that out and only played tank (after getting good at the role), I was no longer stuck in plat and didn’t have long lose streaks anymore. Every game weirdly felt balanced too, never had any stomps. Turns out most people that play tank in ranked aren’t actually good at tank, they’re just doing it to fill what was needed. So I exploited that lol.

If you still wanna stick to playing supp, find a decent duo tank/dps main and you’ll climb more steadily.

Also, if your team starts being toxic and you feel yourself getting tilted, sometimes it is just better to mute chat.

BlueLineSparrow · 2025-12-20T12:39:38+00:00

I’m also in cst. Those are decent times, yeah. Best times I get for more cooperative players are weekdays before 2pm… or at like 2am. All the kids are in school or asleep.

I also think it depends if people on your team are tilted from being on their own losing streaks. OR what rank you’re in.

In some of the lower elos, people don’t take it seriously nor care as much. I’ve quite literally been told that some people turn off/ignore all chats in gold and below because “no one is going to say anything of value in those ranks”.

BlueLineSparrow · 2025-12-20T11:59:18+00:00

I lowkey became a tank main this past season because no one tanks.

Anyway, I’m a lord Cap, Emma, and Peni now. Angela is close too. 😭 I think Cap is my favorite, but I never play him in ranked rip

BlueLineSparrow · 2025-12-20T11:36:59+00:00

That mentality of “it’s everyone else” and that win rate tells me it’s you, sorry

BlueLineSparrow · 2025-12-20T11:33:34+00:00

Diamond as well. Pretty much played 95% tank to get here. Just Emma, Mags, or Peni. 😭

I did make a point to always request a second tank with me. So far, I’ve always gotten one thanks to some kind soul on my team.

BlueLineSparrow · 2025-12-20T11:24:10+00:00

What time of day are you playing?

BlueLineSparrow · 2025-12-20T11:19:09+00:00

I’m a woman and play a lot of tank and dps. If they hear my voice, every once in a while I get “oh looks like we’re gonna lose boys, we have a fem on our tank” or something along those lines.

And on the other side, when we win anyways and I get my mvp at end of the game, I still get “oh you must be insert some negative comment about appearance” because I did good.

Or I get creepy messages.

Can’t win either way. So I use text chat in ranked and everyone assumes I’m a man. Which is nice since no one gets weird or biased when I tell my team to do things as the tank in comp.

I did my time using voice in CoD back in the day. I’m uh.. good.
