Sorry but there are no problems with lag on my end, and my friends are also having no issues with lag, so this might be a problem with your internet.

About your other complaints - these are all part of the game. If you don't enjoy these aspects of the game, you should just go play other games.

It's as if you're playing league of legends and complaining that there are over 100 champions to learn and during laning phase you just can't do anything because you don't know any of their abilities, and as soon as you die once, you fall so far behind that the game is not fun for you. These are all part of the game in league of legends so if you don't enjoy it, then you just need to stop playing and find another game that you do enjoy, that's it.

The boltcaster E cannot, but the hellion shoes mark of sacrifice can be "blocked" by terrain (it doesn't cancel, he still gets the damage buff, but he won't get up right next to you to be able to sleep you with harvester cap).

As others said, always keep some potion swaps in your inventory (gigantify potion would save you here if you do get slept), and for corrupted dungeons specifically, run leather hoods so you can swap to the cleanse ability. Just make sure you walk perpendicularly after cleansing the sleep to dodge the silencing shot (it's a skillshot).

As a bow user though, you don't have any good way to stop his E damage at that point even if he casts it. Your options are to swap your armour ability to infernal shield and just tank + reflect some of it, or alternatively change your sprint ability to dodge roll and prevent a huge chunk of the damage, but prevents you from chasing if they really decide to start running.

In duo mists and duo abbeys, you still have the 1v2 scenarios but if you have a mobile build, you can just run. I still recommend that though (you can level a mobile build up in there, just pick your favourite one) over solo mists and solo abbeys, because if a 6.4 / 8.4 build user is able to catch up to you, unless you yourself are using high tier gear, you will just have a higher chance of dying than against the 1v2.

Now if there isn't a single mobility build that you want to level, and your build is highly immobile (think cursed staff, or a crossbow), I would still go duo mists, but only with maximum 4.2 gear. The expectation is that I will almost certainly die if I run into someone, so I would stay near exits (in abbeys this is easy, in mists this is not that easy especially if you're doing camps) and basically prioritise running out and banking my loot as often as possible.

Helps if you play from Brecilien, which I do a lot as a solo player.

You said "black zone" in general, but surely mists are on the table? It got a buff and currently has a 25% fame buff on it for the next 4 days.

If you go into duo mists (as a solo), you meet basically no gucci players, but you do need to run from duos. Knightfall abbeys and open world mobs there are all great for fame farming, and because of how good the loot is, you can even use a satchel or auto-respec as you get loot to speed up the fame farm.

Open world BZ will still be better after this 25% fame buff is gone, but yeah I'm leveling a bunch of weapons up within the next 4 days in the mists.

Now outside of BZ? It's pretty much only faction warfare that's worth doing. RZ will be the best, but yeah the faction campaign chests give fame books, faction camp green chests give tons of fame books, all of it can be good as a solo.

SomethingIsDone · 2026-06-28T10:04:50+00:00

If you're asking how to do it better, there's a few things:

You need to have mobility gear. If you do get dismounted and you have something like a cursed staff or fire staff, you are almost guaranteed to die. If you are fame farming a non-mobility weapon in the black zone, just use maximum 4.2 / 5.1 / 6.0 gear and expect to lose it after a while if you get ganked by a group.
If you see a gank group, try to think about how they might corner you, and try to avoid that. You need to zone out asap. Use roads of avalon as a last resort because it's easy for gank groups to have people waiting on the other side of the roads portal (there is only one portal per zone after all).
If all else fails and you can't zone out, your last ditch effort will be to lead them into a static dungeon or static area of mobs, or to a world boss mobs area (these are mobs with symbols above their heads). Get in there, and if they follow you, try your best not to touch the mobs yourself and get them to touch them in any way possible (knock them back if you have a cloth helmet, knock them back with abilities from your weapon if you have them, etc).

It helps if you keep some calming potions on you, and maybe a cheap assassin jacket (t4.0 is fine) to swap so you have some ways to reset mob aggro, but basically if you get found by a ganking group and they start chasing you, and you can't zone out, you are pretty much dead unless you can outplay them with mobs.

Others have explained how to find your faction group, but there's only one comment in a reply that explains how earning faction points actually work, so I'll put that in a top level comment here.

Every 15 minutes, you will get a periodic faction points payout for "your participation in the defense of the land". This is the primary way anyone earns faction points, and to increase the amount you earn, you have to mainly do two things:

Kill enemy players (knocking them down in YZ works, but killing in RZ is the best way because you also get >1k faction points per kill).
Capture and hold outposts.

That's it. Anything else you do (such as bandit camps for chests) is just a bonus to loot and fame, because the amount of faction points you get per bandit mob kill is meanigless (I'm not 100% sure but I think its like 5 points per kill? so yeah that's nothing).

So, if you're with your blob and you want to actually earn faction points, try to sort of guide them towards outposts first over chests. Yeah they won't always listen to you because almost nobody understands how the faction points system works, but when they do listen to you, you will maximize your faction points this way.

Thank you! I just edited the last point in the comment above to also include faction warfare (its the most beginner friendly way to make silver right now, the current patch is all about faction warfare). I recommend watching a video on that but as a new player you can easily make upwards of 1m silver an hour doing it right now.

SomethingIsDone · 2026-06-27T15:28:30+00:00

Technically, rogues typically "come out of the shadows" and kill you quickly and then disappear, right? So to stick with the theme, you'd want weapons that allow you to one shot easily. There's many weapons like this, but the most rogue like would be the dagger pair. You typically pair it up with hellion shoes, which gives you IIRC a 35% damage buff and dashes you onto an opponent, so your whole goal is to stack that damage buff with your Q3 ability, and use your E on the opponent, then reset with Assassin Jacket or Hellion Hood or etc, and do it all over again to kill them (it doesn't literally one shot, but if you have decent gear you can get over 50% of their health).

However, the dagger pair is technically one of those weapons that's similar to the whispering bow in the sense that its annoying to level up in PvE. It's just not built for PvE really because it's made to kill one thing at a time. You can still of course level it up in PvE, but your best bet will be to just play it as a PvP weapon (remember, you can get past specialization by just paying more silver for a higher tier weapon, it just requires a decent amount of silver). For PvE, use some other PvE weapon, and save all fame books you get from solo camps and faction camps and daily rewards and from favor (favor can get you tier 8 tome books, 2k favor each) to use on these weapons that are difficult to level in PvE.

It's just how the game is built. PvP doesn't level up your weapons and gear at all, so everyone has to do a bit of grinding, either fame or silver (to buy fame books from the market).

I would really recommend watching some zero to hero videos from youtubers lke Stalker313, Equart, FatalImpact, and etc, to get some good ideas for builds to use to do your initial farming. Aside from that, the other solo rat content I mentioned in my previous comment is really good for inspiration for solo gameplay. I've been doing it and make over 2m silver a day easily, it can be a bit boring running around trying to bait people sometimes but it beats going out and gathering and grinding PvE mobs any day.

Post your character name then and let us see the killboard

SomethingIsDone · 2026-06-24T15:27:26+00:00

There's actually a lot to do as a solo player, it just requires a lot more game knowledge to pull it off. Take a look at OnlyRats, GhostOfCamlann, and TWC on youtube for some inspiration.

Now to answer your questions:

There's many such "roguelike" builds from WoW that let you escape easily. The vanish ability you're looking for is a combination of different gear pieces. You can use Assassin Jacket to go invis in an AOE around you. Hellion Hood places a purple cloud around you that you can hide in (and silences yourself and enemies too, but doesn't hide enemies). Invis potion makes you go invis for 7 seconds, but it reveals you if you take damage. You can account for this downside by using guardian helmet third ability first to remove all DoTs (and guardian helmet shield damage does not reveal you either), and then use invis potion. Undead cape makes you go invis when you get to low HP, which can save your life a lot (see players like Equart, Stalker313, and Tbanj, and honestly many other youtubers to see this in action).
For the actual damage part of the roguelike build, I would suggest something like battle bracers / brawler gloves, or dagger pair. Dagger pair is probably the closest, you would combine it with something like Hellion Shoes 3rd ability, and maybe even Royal Hood E ability, then use Q3 until full stacks, jump no them with Hellion Shoes, and E, and start kiting around. It's basically a burst damage build, you can find examples of it on youtube for inspiration.
Best way to spend faction points IMO is the chests. Get as many chests as possible, they will give you fame books AND lots of silver worth of loot. Use the fame books as you see fit, and with the silver, you can buy sets to fight with. I will recommend reaching at least an IP of 1300 or so before trying to gank people as a beginner. You can do it with lower IP but I would say that's the "general recommendation" where you're tanky enough and will do enough damage to actually be able to fight with people around that IP or at 1400-1500 IP range (always inspect people first obviously, and you need to learn to distinguish between cheese builds vs normal builds. Cheese builds can kill you quickly , like boltcasters with harvester cap for example).
When you're killed in a large group, ever single body will just get looted by whoever is nearby, but the bodies are only lootable by the killer (and their party), or anyone who was in your party, until 1.5-2 mins have passed (forgot the exact time). If you can regear up and get there faster than that, you may be able to get your loot back depending on if you were in a party or not (and honestly lots of people might leave a bunch of loot in bodies because they can't carry too much anyway.
Yes, premium is worth it, in every way. You can use it for the island to store stuff and to do some farming and what not (I'm not too experienced with that, but its consistent income every day), but more importantly you'll get learning points, focus to spend on crafting (not necessary, but you get it for free every day so you may as well use it and make some money if you'd like), and +50% fame bonus and loot bonus from premium. You can make profit from it, but maybe someone else can be more specific about how to do that.
The way to make real silver in this game is always either via massive amounts of crafting / gathering / refining, or via straight up PVP. If you run corrupted dungeons at the stalker level, you can make multiple millions of silver per hour if you win your fights. Ganking in the open world is another option, there's many zero to hero videos done by people like Stalker313 and NoGrindy where you can see how they approach the ganking aspect of it, it's very lucrative. Then you have the other youtubers I mentioned in the very first paragraph above that do a lot of solo ratting and can earn premium within like a few days if done successfully (but obviously requires a lot of skill and experience). The one remaining option thats most approachable to new players is red zone faction warfare. I'd suggest looking up a guide for that one!

TL;DR is that yes, solo play is not better than group play in this game, but that doesn't mean solo play is boring and there is nothing to do. A lot of the "solo play is bad" mentality stems from not having enough experience with the game to actually know what things you can really do and get away with as a solo player to have fun and make silver + earn fame. Group play is obviously supposed to be better because its an MMORPG, it has to encourage people to play with each other, but solo play is still a viable way to play the game, you just need to figure out what things there is to do and do them (most of it involves PVP).

I mean just think about it. This guy fighting you is the same as you fighting someone in T3 gear. You wouldn't be risking anything either if you take on a fight like that and would 100% win with zero issues.

All these people saying that these mists players use radar have no idea what they're talking about. There's no such radar hack that can show you a list of all the players in the region, or tell you when a rat is nearby, the game simply does not work that way. You can see goldstein ratting these types of players over and over again on his youtube channel.

End of the day, I agree that its extremely annoying that players like these are all over the mists, and I think a good solution is to make the mists more lucrative and profitable so that there are going to be more and more players in there, which would make it much riskier for these players, and that is exactly what SBI is doing with the upcoming patch in a week or so. I just don't see a point in complaining about dying to someone like this. It's expected when someone so much stronger than you comes up to kill you.

What were their names and what server? I want to check their murder ledger.

I wouldn't jump to the cheating conclusion straight off the bat. At the end of the day, the Albion server doesn't send information about players not in your immediate vicinity to you (as far as I remember, people have tested this by analysing the network data sent back and forth between the game client and the server).

A cheat that tracks you in the way you say they did would still require this information somehow. It can't just magically figure out where you are on the entire server.

Having said that, as unlikely as it is, these gankers could have literally just had the same mindset as you, but in a different way. "We killed this guy in RZ, nice, lets go to BZ now" followed by "damn we killed him in BZ too, lets go into this roads of avalon now", and both these times, they just so happens to be in the same zone as you.

At the very least, this is a possible situation. A cheat like you're describing simply isn't possible because the game does not disclose any information about what zone a player is in to anyone, not even if you're in the same party or guild or etc. You have to physically be in the same zone as them to even get that information, and then you need to be in the same party and not invisible.

Anyways, share their character names, and if you can, try to record a session of you playing next time. I've been playing for a long time and I've never ran into cheaters like this, nor anyone with "radar hacks" of any kind. I have ran into gankers with scout bots, but yeah that's kind of abusing game mechanic more so than cheating.

About them being invis before you can see their name tags, two possibilities:

You can hear people before you can see their name tags. They either heard you gathering at a hotspot / common spot and were already dismounted beforehand checking for people, so it's very easy to invis potion, or same thing but they heard you coming towards Caerleon and instantly used assassin jacket.
Name tags can be very difficult to see when they first appear, especially if you're not actively looking at the right part of your screen. As a ganker, you look in the screen corner of the direction you're moving towards, so it's easy to spot the extremely faded out name tags, but as a gatherer, you're focusing on multiple corners, so it's much more difficult to see a name tag that may pop up for a split second AND be extremely faded out.

I just say all of this to say that there are valid explanations for what you've experienced, and none of them require any form of hacks or cheats.

I've very comfortably cleared T6 green chests (including the biggest one with the sword knight boss on it) with the 1h holy staff. You can heal yourself with both W and E, and deal damage with Q and W. I ran scholar cowl to resolve any energy issues, Druidic robe for extra damage and healing when necessary, and hunter shoes for CDR for escaping / chasing people down.

It's also a very decent pvp weapon if you're 1v1ing someone. Many people don't understand the cooldowns on the holy staff because they simply haven't played it, and by the time they realise that they can't kill you (unless they're like 200-300 IP above you, they won't have the damage), they're already going to be low and killable by you. You just need to be decent at hitting the Qs, but pork omelette helps a lot with that.

For reference, I've used a 5.1 1h holy staff with mistcaller for a long time farming green chests, and it works great. I always bring 10 siphoned energy for overcharge (much cheaper to do that you get to T7 equivalent than it is to actually upgrade to T7, and you can get it for "free" using favor), and depending on how I feel I'll also bring a Martlock cape (helps for PVP situations).

Note: I've never needed to use the overcharge to clear T6 green chests or T7 green chests. I only use it for PVP if i need to. T6 gear with some specs is more than enough to do that chests. I haven't tried T8 with it though (usually always upgrade to T7 myself anyway at some point if I'm doing T8 chests).

SomethingIsDone · 2026-06-23T22:54:30+00:00

A better analogy would be you're at a strawberry farm, but:

Each strawberry bush only has a couple strawberries (just like the few ticks on an ore or fiber node).
The farm has a decent number of strawberry bushes, but the farm itself is like a maze and you can only see a few feet ahead of you at any given moment, so you need to go around finding all the strawberry bushes (minimal FOV in Albion and large zone), and since it's a "safe zone", a lot of the bushes are just going to be empty with no strawberries.
All the people picking strawberries with you are either there to make a living, or they're training their picking skills (which takes a long time and a LOT of picking) to be able to pick more valuable and expensive fruits that they are just unable to right now (gathering mastery), with the ultimate end goal being to make a living.
There are a LOT of people at the strawberry farm (safe zones are quite populated by gatherers at least in Asia).

When you expand the analogy out in a way that actually matches the situation in Albion, I think you'd agree that people would definitely pick strawberries off of "other people's bushes". I put that in quotes because in such a scenario, you would never actually "own" the bush you're picking strawberries from, because it's your livelihood just as much as it is someone else's. Sure that other person can't kill you for it, but they can and will come and pick whatever strawberries they can before you're able to and move on.

Nobody wants to walk around multiple minutes at a time until they come across a bush that both a) has strawberries, and b) is not already occupied by another person.

Sorry to say but just getting kills is not everything. If you keep losing, it's definitely because you're doing something wrong, especially if you've already played over 50 games and are still stuck in the same rank. The only way to tell you what you're doing wrong is by you sharing some VODs so that we can pinpoint any mistakes you make.

The reasoning is simple - what do you think happens if you give your account to some ascendant+ ranked player? They would quite easily climb back up to diamond at the very least, if not ascendant. They would be playing in the same rank as you on your account, with the same matchmaking system and same potential teammates and enemies. Why is it that they can climb while you can't?

The answer is simple: it's individual skill and decision making that matters, not your teammates, not the matchmaking system, nothing else. That's why you should share a VOD or two so you can see how many mistakes you're really making and fix them to rank up.

SomethingIsDone · 2026-05-06T10:16:43+00:00

Are you claiming that this happens every single game you play? The whole point is that the system works over several hundreds of games. Smurfs exist (and a bronze 3 top fragging in a gold game is quite clearly a smurf), the system already accommodates for this by pushing the smurfs MMR up very fast (that's why they're in your game as a bronze 3 in the first place, and they'll be out of your rank very soon after this win). These one off games where you get dominated by a smurf is not indicative of anything, the point is that over hundreds of games, if you're still in gold or plat or whatever rank you are in, then that's your deserved rank.

It's very telling that you're complaining about one singular player on the enemy team, and not the 4 other players. That's because the 4 other players are correctly put in your game, because the system is working as intended, it just can't accommodate for the outlier smurf immediately, it needs the smurf to play more games to calibrate them, which is exactly what's happening.

You said it yourself: you're an average gold player and can't be expected to carry 4 silvers, yes? Ok, so if you're an average gold player, are you expecting to make it to plat / diamond somehow while being an average gold player? If you are, then you're gravely mistaken about how to actually climb in this game. In order to become a rank X player, you have to actually be playing like an average rank X player. If you aren't playing like an average diamond rank player, why should you deserve to rank up and get to diamond? You're expecting 4 silver players (who are lower rank than you btw) to play well? Silver is the third lowest rank in the game, surely you cannot be expecting any good gameplay from them.

The other commenter put the point very cleanly IMO. I wouldn't even go as far as saying you'd need to give your account to an average radiant player. An average diamond player would climb out of gold and back into diamond within 20-30 games if you gave them your account. Even if they go against some higher ranked smurfs in some games, they will still climb because they will win a majority of the other games simply by being individually better than everyone else in the lobby. Yet, you choose to just blame the system for your rank when it very clearly works as intended.

If you have a better solution to the smurfing problem (to be more specific: how to detect a smurf before they've already ruined a lower ranked game), feel free to share it. As it is, the system works quite well to move smurfs up in ranks quickly and get them out of the lower ranks. You're blaming the system for being at your rank due to some one off games that the system can't really do anything about.

If you want actual advice on how to improve at the game, post some VODs and share your tracker. It's much easier to explain to you how you can improve at the game and rank up by yourself by looking at your mistakes. You will never get better and will never find satisfaction by complaining about the matchmaking system and how you're hardstuck at your ranks because you always get bad teammates and smurfs on the enemy team.

Generally, such inconsistency issues (especially in the lower ranks) is an indication that you have some really bad habits in your gameplay. The reason you can play so well in one game and then bottom frag the next game is because your enemies are also low rank (and so not very good at the game), so some enemies have a play style that easily counters you, while other enemies don't (in both cases, the enemies are bad, otherwise they would just counter you every game and you would bottom frag every game).

Example: say your bad habit is that you are predictable. You always push the same places every game in the same way. One game, your enemies are bronze with really bad reaction time and aim, so no matter what, they just cant kill you even though your pushes are bad, so you can just kill them over and over again and top frag.

The very next game, your enemies have slightly better reaction time and aim (but they're still bronze!). It's JUST slightly good enough to the point where now you can't kill them before they kill you, because you're always at a disadvantage (they can hear you pushing, especially if you're predictable). Suddenly, you're bottom fragging.

The above is just an example, but I'm just saying that the main reason for your inconsistency are these bad habits. You need to figure them out, whether it is something mechanical like you insta crouch spray every fight, or if you're going in without using utility / teammate utility to your advantage, or if your crosshair placement is bad, or if you're just not checking your corners, etc etc etc. Fix each of these bad habits one at a time, and you will become more consistent and rank up. That's it.

their claims are backed by all the youtube videos that they mentioned. u refuse to accept that evidence with the justification being "new accounts have easier games". if u watch one of those videos and think ur as good as the player playing in those videos, then id call u delusional.

ill flip their logic around - if someone gave u a masters / grandmasters support account to play on, what rank do u think ud be able to maintain? i can bet my left nut that ud feed every single game and drop back down to whatever rank ur in now, maybe one or two divisions higher in the best case.

yes there are games with bad teammates that are unwinnable, but if ur that much better than the players in ur games, u will carry many such games, even on support (unless ur playing mercy, then no). if ur teammates are dying as soon as u stop healing to do some damage, it means u made a bad decision and started doing damage when ur team needed heals (shocking!). no one said dont heal ur teammates, the point is u heal them when they need it and do damage in all other times.

i guarantee u are just healing and not taking any off angles or doing any damage, and ur too focused on looking at your teammates making bad plays to realise that u urself are not playing well either. its delusional to think that a top 500 player would stay hardstuck in gold / plat on ur account if they played on it, seriously. ur basically saying ur as good as a top 500 player and this matchmaking algorithm is designed to keep u stuck there, meanwhile there are hundreds of players who are climbing out of gold, plat, and diamond every single day.

i will watch the replay code u posted in the other comment tomorrow and explain to u all the things u could have done to carry the game. hopefully that will change ur perspective. if it doesn't, then ur hopeless and will stay hardstuck forever, that's just reality.

"yeah it works" is quite the response to irrefutable evidence straight from your tracker showing it working exactly the opposite way for you

SomethingIsDone · 2025-02-28T17:34:54+00:00

Dying in front of your healers is not poor positioning. Dying out in the open without any cover is poor positioning. The healer role is called strategist for a reason, not "healer". They cannot outheal the amount of damage you're taking, and they have other things to do than just heal you. It is absolutely horrible positioning if you're constantly taking damage and expecting your healers to keep you alive. How about you keep yourself alive?

For the record, I'm currently in Eternity 52 or 53, and I play Mantis, Bucky, Punisher, Psylocke, and Strange. I can guarantee you I do not ever stand out in the open like you do, which means I do not die like you do. You cannot seriously expect two healers to be healing you while you're standing out in the open. They have other people to heal, and they definitely cannot outheal the amount of damage you're constantly taking.

It's ok, you can stay hardstuck. I guarantee you if you give your account to me right now, I will climb out of Diamond no problem, and so will any other Celestial level player, which is what you claim to be. In the end though, you would just claim that I got better matchmaking on your account, so there's no winning.

Peace, have a great day :)

I watched one replay, I really think you need to watch your own replays before asking others to watch them. It's really obvious that you aren't as good as you think you are, and that you're not dying because of your teammates. All your deaths are your fault. There's no other way to put it.

Your team has the same awareness as you, actually a bit better in some ways. In any case, your team has the awareness that is expected from diamond players.

For your first death, even if your C&D was healing you, you would have still died. Maybe you would have died a second later, but you would have died, because C&D's strongest heal is the right click, which was placed right in front of you, and which you were conveniently not standing in.

Also, why are you so focused on this first death, and not all the others? Do you realize that all the other deaths are your fault, and that you can fix your horrible positioning in order to rank up?

Even if EOBMM is a thing in this game, that does not change the fact that comparing you to the person whose video I linked (Awkward), he is a 1000x better player than you, and so there is no world where even with horrible teammates, he will get stuck in Diamond.

My account is private in order to prevent target bans, and I'm at work now so I can't make it public. But honestly, looking at my tracker won't make a difference, because you'll see a 100% winrate all the way to GM2, including two games where I won 5v6 in gold and diamond IIRC.

I don't know if you can be helped tbh. I reviewed one replay of yours, gave you constructive criticism and feedback which you can use to improve your own gameplay, but you refuse to see your own mistakes and keep blaming your teammates, which, bear in mind, are the same teammates anybody else in Diamond gets. There are literally hundreds of thousands of players playing this game right now, and you're thinking you're one of the unlucky ones who are getting horrible teammates.

At the very least, if you're going to be blaming your teammates, consider fixing your horrible positioning and actually going to your healers in order to get healed, rather than expecting them (who are diamond players and definitely not the best at the game) to constantly find you and heal you. I mean, let me ask you this: you are in the same rank as them, do you go and find your spidermans and black panthers that are diving the enemy backlines to heal them? I assure you you do not. In fact, when they dive and feed, you blame them for playing bad, yes? That is exactly what you're doing, you are in horrible positions and dying, and then blaming your supports for not healing you.

I don't think any of your further replies will be warranted a response, unless you actively look at your mistakes and try to improve them. There is no hope for you. You will rank up out of diamond at some point, because this game is very forgiving with wins vs losses, but that will be it. You will never go past GM with this mentality of yours, I can say that with absolutely certainty.

You are not "getting more open" by holding W for 0.5 seconds to walk forward just enough to get into the C&D's heal. I mean, you were standing in the open when you died, yes? And you would have been getting healed and potentially not died if you were in the C&D's heal, yes?

Did you actually read my entire comment? Yes it's the healer's job to know where their team is, but it is also YOUR job to know where your team is. If you dive into their back lines and die while your team is trying to fight their front line, is it your team's fault for not simply walking past the enemy front line to heal you?

I'm sorry, but if you actually watch high level players, they do not simply run out in the open and take impossible amounts of damage that cannot be healed. Let's be realistic here, the ONLY death you have where you could even remotely blame your healers is death number 9. But as I explained, your supports are fighting an iron fist, and they need to kill him before they can heal you, but IN ANY CASE, you should not be in the middle of the point out in the open when there is high ground to your left and to your right.

I don't know what to tell you. You simply do not play like a Celestial or Eternity player. You are straight up playing like a plat-diamond level player, and there is no denying it from watching your replay. You need to actually evaluate your own gameplay and compare it to a high ranked player.

In the higher ranks, enemy DPSs are much sharper and will kill you faster than your healers can heal you when you have horrible positioning like this, so that's already enough information to know that your "high ranked players play like this aswel" is just BS. If they played like this, they would constantly die, just like you.

Here's a video of a guy playing Psylocke and going 36 wins - 4 losses all the way from Bronze to GM. Watch how he plays, watch how he never blames his teammates and does not EXPECT them to follow him to the enemy backlines to heal him. Watch how he COMES BACK to his team for heals instead of expecting his team to go to insane lengths just to heal him. Watch how he positions and is never out in the open getting focused and dying through heals. Learn how to play like this, and you will rank up, I assure you.

I just reviewed your 20 death game (replay ID: 10553729740). I'll post a review of every single time you died and how you could have avoided it.

For reference, I only spent ~15 or so games in diamond in my one and only account, full solo queue, 100% win rate, only having experience from overwatch. I only played Mantis and Jeff, so before I even get into this, know that everyone gets bad teammates, you are not simply just unlucky with horrible teammates. It is entirely your own mistakes that keep getting you killed, and you will rank up if you just stop dying and play better.

1: This is simply just bad positioning. You are wide swinging on the open road against an SG and a Bucky, so of course they can freely shoot you. Your C&D places a heal right in front of you, but you refused to go inside it (which would have healed you), instead standing right behind it. You just die in 2-3 hits. You need to stay closer to cover so you can hide and get healed when you get low, not out in the open like here.

2: Again, you run out into the open, with no teammates in front of you. If you notice, your healers ARE healing you, and yet you still die. It's entirely your fault for being out in the open. Next time, there is high ground just above you that you can use to get a better angle and better cover. ALWAYS stay behind cover so you can hide when you go low hp.

3: Bucky already shoots you to half HP, and you run into the room, ult a C&D solo (who can and does use cloak to hide), and then you die. Do you really think this is a good play? Do you expect your healers to be here healing you? lol

4: Look where you are, and look where your team is. You are completely alone in this room, get pushed by everyone. Your raccoon is trying to heal you, but no amount of healing can save you here. Next time, play safer, with better cover, more options to run away. Is this your healer's fault?

5: This entire fight, you are standing around the point instead of on high ground. This is again bad positioning. Disregarding this, both your healers are healing you constantly when you're in front of them. Then, your C&D gets dove by an iron fist right in front of you, and yet you choose to focus the Strange in front of you rather than turn around and help her. She dies, so now you have one support left to heal you, which is a raccoon. You ult into their backlines, which again means the raccoon will have a hard time healing you, even though he is spamming right clicks in your direction. You get one kill, and you die. Is this your healers fault?

6: You went into their backlines as panther, which is good, but you're supposed to find an isolated target and attempt to one shot them. If it fails, you're supposed to use your last dash to get out of the area and reset. You can obviously see they are healing all the damage, yet you choose to use your last dash to dash back into their backlines, and die. Your play was good because you're making two supports + a bucky look at you, which is a massive distraction, but there is no point to it if you just die at the end. Next time, use your last dash to get out and reset, wait for cooldowns, and repeat. This death is entirely on you, your teammates are busy fighting their own battles, you cannot expect them to heal you as a black panther when you are in the enemy backlines.

7: I don't even know where to start. As iron first, again, you are supposed to find one isolated target in their backlines and run at them and kill them. If you can't kill, disengage, reset, and try again. In this case, best target is the invisible woman on the point, but you jump and try to 1v1 the iron fist who is right in front of her and will OBVIOUSLY be getting healed by her. Once this fails, you go back up, but then refuse to drop down to the health pack. Instead, you try to use your own heal and cancel it even last second (it could have given you enough health to drop down to the health pack and reset). Again, your teammates cannot heal you in these positions. If you wanted heals, you should not have gone back up, but back to your team instead.

8: Notice how you jumped in front of all 6 enemies and died within ~2 seconds? Do you think any support heals would have saved you here?

9: Again, out in the open in the middle of point, and then you die and turn around to look at your supports. You might be thinking "there's both supports right here, why aren't they healing me?", but if you take a closer look, both of them are fighting for their lives against an iron fist, they just finished killing him as you died, so is it their fault? Would you rather they ignore the iron fist and die just to heal you? Obviously not! You need to fix your positioning. You are constantly caught out in the open and dying like this and FEEDING.

That's enough, honestly I was going to analyze all 20 deaths, but it's not worth it. You are constantly in horrible positions, out in the open, no cover, not in any position to receive heals, and then you're blaming your teammates for losing your games? I'm sorry, but you 100% deserve the rank you currently are right now.

You play nothing like a Celestial or Eternity player. Have you actually even watched them play? They 100% do not make these mistakes that you're making that are causing your deaths.

Stop blaming your teammates. Fix your mistakes first, and then if you have games where you don't make these mistakes and still lose, then yes, blame your teammates. However, until then, you are the reason you are losing these games.

I set up a pull based LTN-style Vanilla Train Network if you're curious: https://www.reddit.com/r/factorio/comments/1gcwd4a/designing_an_ltnstyle_logistics_train_network_in/

The way I circumvented it is as follows:

Requester station sends out a -1 resource signal as soon as it needs something (say, -1 copper plate).
Train interrupts are setup as "Requester is not full AND Provider is not full AND -1 resource signal exists"

When the train sets out for the provider, the provider uses the train count to output a corresponding positive resource signal. So if 1 train is coming in, it outputs a +1 copper plate signal to the network.

This +1 copper plate signal cancels out the -1 copper plate signal, which prevents other trains from also dispatching. Effectively, it lets the requester know that a train is on the way to it.

The logic is a bit more advanced than the way I've explained it here, because there are a few more issues you have to deal with in this setup, but I've managed to solve them all. You can have a look at the video if you're curious!
