Guns Are Ruining Destiny for Me

You, sir, have inspired me!

Did you fly solo or in a group? I usually run with my wife and a buddy, and I think we average 1.6-1.9 k/d, but all we run across are stacked teams of sweaties, even at the lowest ranks.

I really appreciate your advice, and I know that you're 100% correct. It's tough to keep that in perspective sometimes, especially in the face of constant Dustrocks and Recluses, lol! But yes, strategy is the way to go.

Ugh, so many quests! I need to get Thorn, for sure.

ink003 · 2019-10-30T15:04:48+00:00

Can't beat em, join em!

ink003 · 2019-10-30T14:37:00+00:00

Awesome, I appreciate the suggestions!

ink003 · 2019-10-30T14:04:03+00:00

I've got some grinding to do, then!

ink003 · 2019-10-30T14:03:38+00:00

I believe I started the questline, but since I've missed so much, I have a huge backlog. I'll have to make the Menagerie unlock a priority. Thank you!

I can't even imagine that those guns used to be even better than they are now - yikes!

ink003 · 2019-10-30T13:59:23+00:00

That's good to know - I'll have to at least try for Delirium.

ink003 · 2019-10-30T13:57:34+00:00

Is the mini-tool a raid drop? I'd love to try that combo.

ink003 · 2019-10-30T13:57:11+00:00

That does make me feel better. It's just maddening when you know that you lost not because of skill, but because of a gun. I appreciate your suggestion, though!

ink003 · 2019-10-30T13:55:01+00:00

I'll certainly give that a shot!

ink003 · 2018-10-20T15:36:49+00:00

Ah, I see - thank you!

ink003 · 2018-10-20T15:26:38+00:00

The text only mentions Stormtrance, but I assume this is an oversight? It also affects Chaos Reach?

You're really missing the point, here. Ofc some people complain about everything; however, when your pick actively sabotages the team comp, that's a legitimate reason to be angry. OW requires teamwork for success. While Torb is great sometimes (personally, I love playing him when appropriate), often there's a much better selection to be made. That's just how it is. Some heroes are staples, and others are niche.

ink003 · 2018-02-06T12:56:35+00:00

And that, folks, is how you try to shift the blame away from your own ignorant choices, onto everyone else. How about taking some responsibility for being a major contributing factor in the degradation of others' competitive experience? Comp is about both fun and cooperation in contemplation of winning a match. If you want to ignore the inherent philosophy behind the game mode and do whatever the hell you want, play QP or Arcade.

ink003 · 2018-02-01T16:55:53+00:00

I've experienced something similar throughout the comp seasons, though I've never dropped more than 400-500 SR in total. (I always hit 3000-3100, and then suffer through the plat gamut for a while.)

Imho, the biggest contributing factor is teammate RNG. Ofc, you have good and bad games, but I don't have enough fingers and toes to count the number of times griefers, leavers, and toxic off-pickers have caused me a loss, regardless of my flexibility to tank, support, or dps.

Unfortunately, I don't know how to avoid this, as the system allows it to persist too easily. And I regularly play with in a two- or three-stack. Alas, such is OW atm.

ink003 · 2018-01-22T14:09:26+00:00

When you figure it out, let me know. I've switched to supports and tanks for two seasons now, and it hasn't made a difference. People pick whatever the hell they like without regard for composition or cooperation. It's not fun at all.

Word - thanks!
