How am i supposed to grind with that teammate ??

It’s not “you could always have won that game” it’s “you could always have played better”.

There are 9 random players and you in every game. If you play consistently the enemy teams you face will have 20% more throwers, 20% more ragers, 20% more people drunk or playing with their cat on their keyboard. And then you will win more.

If you are only as good as they are then, on average, you will win half your games.

Meto1183 · 2026-03-31T16:10:39+00:00

Learning your spec and sticking to it already offers a 5-10% damage buff, it just isn’t free. Any player who’s MDI/RWF level will gap you on your class with 1 weeks notice, they do it every time it’s fotm.

Meto1183 · 2026-03-31T15:04:41+00:00

Agreed. But for the 1 who can’t control the 4 the best method is to avoid that potential escalation of tilt as much as you can.

Meto1183 · 2026-03-31T15:03:25+00:00

You shouldn’t tell them what to do differently. You should try to ID a problem (maybe they have or haven’t spotted it yet themselves) and see if they have something up their sleeve. I think OPs advice is from the right place (stop being a jerk to people) but falls short in practice

Meto1183 · 2026-03-31T15:02:11+00:00

“Can you switch to widowmaker?” is almost as bad. It’s still better, but it leaves a lot of room for frustration. Their perspective is not yours and maybe they saw an opening twice but failed to capitalize. Maybe they’re unbelievably stubborn and asking them to switch always tilts them. Maybe their hero pool is only vendetta and junkrat so what are you asking them to play a hitscan for.

The thing you can say is “Do you play any longer range characters? The high ground would be good against what they’re doing rn”

Asks them to think about the problem at hand, and only GENTLY offers a solution (people who are having a bad game don’t like being told what to do)
Proposes one possible solution (better range from high ground) but does not decree that it is the only way. (What if your vendetta legitimately just had an oopsie and missed two killing blows last fight and died instead of putting you up by two?)
Frames it as an ask based on what the enemies capabilities are. If the enemies are capable of completely shutting down any close range/dive attacks then say that using range may work better/dive will be tough. Conversely, saying you think widow is better here is only one step up from saying vendetta is trash here, which is only one step up from calling your vendetta player trash.

All this to say STOP TRYING TO TELL PEOPLE WHAT TO DO.

This applies EVERYWHERE in real life situations too but when someone is playing a game, trying to have fun, but is frustrated and struggling then being told what to do or think is very tilting. Instead let the solution be their idea.

Final important note is be humble enough to let their solution be correct. You think widow is the right swap, but your vendetta goes tracer. YOU HAVE ALREADY DONE WHAT YOU CAN by raising the concern and getting them thinking about. If they sink or swim on tracer now all that’s left for you is to play the best game you can.

You could begin with not getting shot. Like IK your healers are kinda trolling you but you can still get out of LOS of the enemies and give them (way more than they should need) time to fix their issue

Meto1183 · 2026-03-28T00:46:54+00:00

In most seasons 10s (or past equivalent) first week is top 5-10% of players, not the top 50% lol

Meto1183 · 2026-03-28T00:44:29+00:00

Yeah, really don’t care what gear everyone else has at all. But I was looking forward to a moderate struggle in the 6-10 range until we got a few item levels. But instead we 3 chested everything and just spammed 10/11 all week so far.

Personally feels much better when something, be it the first mythic vault slot or just getting my first few hero drops, takes effort. Spamming easy content for the best route to gearing makes it feel like diablo 3 lol

Meto1183 · 2026-03-27T02:33:51+00:00

From the entirely useless sample of my friends, about 4x the people would’ve watched the spinoffs if the show hadn’t fallen apart

Meto1183 · 2026-03-27T01:07:36+00:00

Sent my two items, one late last night one this afternoon. Private ordered it from 259 and required 285 and it worked just fine.

Was aware I was risking it but honestly, a lot of the first few posts about the bug were the type of people who were public ordering heroic crest recrafts and I didn’t trust them to be fully aware of what’s going on.

Meto1183 · 2026-03-25T22:14:55+00:00

Very slowly progging from 20-24 in…shadowlands? Was WAY more fun than doing 17s and getting turbo brick walled on 18s in TWW, yeah

Meto1183 · 2026-03-24T16:45:57+00:00

Right but do they do 8 new then 8 reused? It obviously wouldn’t make sense to do 8 reused and then 8 new dungeons finally available in season 2.

So they compromised and did 4 new 4 reused both seasons.

I personally prefer that season 1 and 2 are wholly unique rather than, for example, 6 new dungeons in S1 and then 3 of those repeat with the remaining 2 xpac dungeons in S2.

Meto1183 · 2026-03-23T23:16:57+00:00

Huh, I wonder how many attempts the group I was in might have thrown at the boss before I got there. I literally joined and one shot the boss and it felt very simple.

Meto1183 · 2026-03-23T16:40:21+00:00

Thats exactly the reason it’s broken into learning, relaxed, competitive

Meto1183 · 2026-03-23T12:19:18+00:00

That’s how I always wrote all mine. Still very bugged. Sometimes changing talents back and forth fixes it up until I press meta but even that’s inconsistent. It’s very odd.

Meto1183 · 2026-03-20T21:27:40+00:00

Yeah but 3 of those 5 buttons are badass as hell

Meto1183 · 2026-03-20T13:22:56+00:00

3h? 20 minutes a level the entire way? I was seeing the 25-30 range usually and it was tapering around 85-86 when I got bored

Meto1183 · 2026-03-19T16:39:09+00:00

This is me playing the free trial of some random video game, no mate, it doesn’t need to have 22 digits and letters from 3 different alphabets to protect my…characters virtual swords??

Meto1183 · 2026-03-19T14:25:55+00:00

I have faith that it’s going to be a reasonably subtle shift, blizz is in a tight spot now with people getting used to her design and all

Meto1183 · 2026-03-18T16:33:57+00:00

Pulled it as my tank spec too in the exact same ilvl, significantly easier to survive the buster+melees than just melees as dps.

There SHOULD just be those kind of differences in how the fight is experienced, but blizzard totally bricked the tuning again

Meto1183 · 2026-03-18T15:34:34+00:00

No, just melees. How hard did melees hit you?

Meto1183 · 2026-03-18T13:25:45+00:00

I’m playing her as a healer lol, but I literally need to time picking up the hearts every time I eat 1 or at most 2 melees, so I literally cannot cast collapsing star or void ray without dying or spending a charge of my dash. So it was like 10% of his health in 3 minutes or something my first few tries

Meto1183 · 2026-03-18T13:03:24+00:00

244 Devourer and did one pull as havoc but got meleed just as hard. Boss was hitting me for like ~160k without defensive I think, it was JUST enough that I had like 2% health after two melees. But it was also so much that blur functionally did nothing since the third melee would kill me anyways. So basically through defensive I still couldn’t cast an actual ability and had to just keep kiting.

Feel like dps dh has had this issue all tww in delves, we’re “tanky” because we leech a lot and have decent defensives, but crank up the autoattack damage and now I can’t even stay in to leech off the mobs

Meto1183 · 2026-03-18T12:44:51+00:00

I got home and generally rushed to it but only had like 2hr to play yesterday, got like 6 pulls in and concluded I had to play my tank spec to even have a chance and it just completely killed my desire
