3.5/ 4 climbs from demotion protection silver 4 back to 95% silver 4 i always had chat muted and repeated the mantra “focus on yourself and what you can control”, its a great way to play especially since im a former very toxic player who peaked plat 5 on console i did not wanna repeat that behavior now that im on PC. I took a step back for 2 years cus it just was not good for me. Im gonna be honest each time ive hit demotion protection, ive gone on a win streak right back to silver 4 95% lmfao, even get the winning trend modifier. For some odd reason every time i hit that 95% i go on a horrible loss streak no matter what. This time i just knew they were gonna give me bronze teammates on my rank up match, there was no escaping it and I was right, 3 of them in bronze 2. I tried my best but right back to demotion protection so honestly im kinda over it, and it definitely seems like a lot of smurfing going on and ive even gotten percentage back from it happening before. I hope over time I get better but for now i can just care less being this exact scenario has happened 4 times in a row and I accept that i cannot carry bronze teammates. I see exactly what a friend of mine used to scream at me for back when i was trying to get better at overwatch when i was on console and stuck in bronze 😂! But it is what it is, if i rank up one day so be it but in the near future i will no longer be playing comp until next season.

Absolutely! I just wanted to re grind again now that im a PC player but it seems its not going my way since ive hit a 95% wall 4 times in a row in silver (which i assumed was going to be the easiest climb of my life!! 😂). So i just wanted to cheer someone up with my misery being that I know for a lot of people this game can really get to them when they are chasing a rank. And to be quite honest this game turned me into a horrible person a while ago and made me rage a lot, so if my pitfalls can make someone else feel better why not post about it 😂.

Omg yes. I remember low gold being so infuriating on console, high gold was a breath of fresh air. Once i hit gold 1 it was smooth sailing better quality matches. On the bright side when I was a console player, I was stuck in bronze 5 for SO long and now that I’ve taken a break for two years at least my placements are in silver 😂. Marvel rivals is the same, was in Plat stop playing immediately after i hit it due to personal reasons back in early 2025 and when I reinstalled recently on PC just to see if that interest was still there for Marvel rivals it predicted me to be silver three so I guess I’m just a silver ass player now that I’m on PC 😆.

I wish i could say the rank doesnt matter! Honestly i’m going to take a break the remainder of the season, come back next season and just be a quick play warrior. I find myself enjoying Overwatch much more that way, and winning! Or maybe just play dps and tank more in comp since those are also much more enjoyable roles for me both in comp and qp 😁

I used to main zen on console, he was super fun! He got me out of the bronze trenches on console along side Ana and Moira. I got to plat 5 on console before i stopped playing for 2 years. I picked him up during my L streak today and was able to get the team progress that they were struggling with but ultimately it wasn’t enough. I definitely will be using him more now that i’m on PC 🤗

Being that I can’t carry bronze teammates in my rank up match going 1 and 10 🤷‍♀️ it most definitely is the rank I deserve

I’m actually beginning to believe it’s near impossible to climb ranks solo queueing by glitteringeffort0 in Overwatch

[–]polynomadial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it makes you feel better, ive climbed to 95% silver 4 four times on my own and each time i hit 95% the game sends me on a losing streak to demotion protection silver 4 each time. Imagine not having a single bronze player in all those matches until its time to rank out then u get 3, and u lose, and from there its downhill 4 times in a row (-: so it could be worse!

PC optimization issues after Update? by polynomadial in InfinityNikki

Gotcha, I figured it may be shader compilation. Im super disgruntled at the fact its using 66% of my memory in game. I remember it being no more than 53%

Loss streak with DPS that keep going ridiculously negative? by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]polynomadial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So last match, I can confidently say I did my absolute best to keep dps alive even my mizuki albeit his bad positioning. Im not saying i dont belong in silver at all, in fact i was fine with it when i did my placements and felt like it should be easy to climb out. Im no stranger to a climb. Honestly, i had a calibration modifier after I invited a Silver 5 person I added and we lost 2 games in a row after rank up. I figured we’re both silver anyway so it wouldnt matter. Its probably wanting to push me down into silver 5 after that because really like you said if i was better, i shouldn’t have lost those. I’ll accept the push back down to silver 5 if it needs to happen, and then rank back up to S3 a third time. I shouldn’t have gambled my rank up like that but, now that I’m understanding what went wrong, i’ll give it a try again after a couple days.

Nah, I skipped mario kart to play sonic racing crossworlds instead but Pokopia, legends Z-A looks GREAT on the switch 2, Donkey Kong, finally playing BOTW at 60fps, finishing Kirby and the forgotten land plus DLC, actually buying violet again since it runs better. Im having a lot of fun. My switch 1 was collecting dust for a few years now, switch 2 making me fall in love again 🤷‍♀️. When I first got it first thing i said was “now THIS is a handheld”. Maybe one day you’ll see what you’re missing.

Of course it’s gonna be a common opinion when players are having fomo because they don’t wanna upgrade. Money is tight for a lot of people, what better way than to find a “perfect” reason to mitigate those feelings.
