i used to be like this, sometimes in the heat of the moment ill still blame losses on others... but ive also realized sometimes they are underpreforming because something isn't clicking, one time my ana was doing HORRIBLE, her healing was literally terrible, but i was in a good mood so instead of flaming them i just went lucio and babysat them, attacking tracers, helping them reposition, and healing off poke damage, and ana ended up carrying the game with great antinades, clutch heals, and good ultimates. it was a real-life example of "i could have done better even with a bad teammate" being visibly shown, that i defended our ana, which took away the stress of fending off flankers, and let her pop off. so now instead of looking at a bad ally and seeing them suck, i instead try to think of ways to help that ally improve.

If you have a selfish dps Moira for example go Kiri or bap to help the tank and take advantage of her off angles Sombra farming ur Ashe or bast all game? Go brig or Moira and go on bodyguard duty Ur tank is having trouble fighting the other tank? Go ana or Kiri for the game changing ult/CDs

This reminded me of what pisses me off in metal ranks the most. Complete lack of awareness and lack of trying. Imo, if I get picked by flanking Tracer, it's fine as long as my team reacts and * t r i e s * to save me, even if they fail. Yet more often than not, metal players don't even look at you in the vod they tunnel vision something while not being super busy making plays. It's so frustrating when they just stand there and refuse to move their camera while you can clearly hear footsteps and hero voice lines like "I've been attacked" from their position. It's like, am I the only one having decent headset, or are people that bad?

You can immediately tell when no one is on the same page. They may even be playing their "best" hero but the lack of coordination is almost always a guaranteed L unless the other team is worse or have one or two throwers.

Comment is 2 months old, but it makes it more interesting to see that people are in the same rank for different reasons. EG: gigachad aimbot vs consistent positioning. This comes into play when people flame, because they might be at this rank because they can hit all their shots, and they see their teammate, who cant and has to compensate by taking safer trades. And neither can match the other's playstyle and play poorly together in a game they should otherwise win. No exuse for toxcicity, but an interesting perspective that comes from it.

The flame is even worse when you are on lucio tbh. A lot of metal rank players assume you just healbot as lucio but it's the worst way to play him. I recently experienced this more and more in comp so I turned off text chat but I leave voice chat on.. I commonly get asked to heal more (I usually range in between 1/4 or 1/3 healing of the main healer and 70% speed 30% healing) and I feel like I heal enough. I even had people intentionally throw games because they me to swap to a real healer even though I onetrick lucio lol. It just shows metal rank players have such a weak mentality + they don't know what they are talking about most of the time. I want to learn how to play around the enemy backline someday so I can actually enjoy what it's like to play as the hated lucio stereotypes.

It's when you start realizing that it's not very efficient to only heal the entire time.
That last game, the enemy team blamed tank most probably because it was up against eskay tank. Like the mentality was probably "my plat level tank is being diffed by the enemy plat level tank, my tank must be throwing..." Little did they know that that enemy tank is just way beyond in gamesense and mechanics, and definitely not gold.

Alternatively, you could solicit videos from your community and analyze those.
This is why I don't have text chat turned on (except vc there's useful comms sometimes) I get flamed a lot for playing lucio in these metal ranks even though I really enjoy playing him. Yesterday there was a tank who intentionally threw the game after we lost two fights in flashpoint because I wouldn't switch off lucio. I don't flame my teammates but my teammates flame me despite them playing as terribly as I do.

Tracer Torbx2 and Pharah... I disagree that the tracer was underperforming. At least considering they were on tracer which is arguably the issue. Torbs and Pharah can kill squishy Tracer easily. Tracers have lower damage because they assassinate. So the fact that they were dead four more times and got only four less kills checks out.
