Stomp or be stomped is getting worse

[Toubaneiros]

Lately most of my games are either stomp or be stomped. QP or Comp doesn't matter, it is getting so much worse than OW. What's happening. I am at the verge of uninstalling and it's a pity because I like the game but the quality of the matches have dropped like 80% for me since launch.

They even managed to make me re-install OW that I thought impossible a month ago. Ah well.

Ironically, it's probably because you're getting better. As I mentioned in another topic, most stomps occur because of significant misplays on one side, like wasting a support ult for example. As players get better, these misplays become less common, which makes them much more costly when they happen. In Bronze, people make huge mistakes left and right, which kind of cancel each other out, but by Gold or Plat, big mistakes are becoming less common and one or two can make your team lose a match.

The best thing you can do is try to make sure you're not the source of these mistakes. Sometimes your teammates will be and unfortunately there's just not much you can do about it. By this rank any one player on the team playing badly is enough to make the team lose.

Yeah I guess that's possible sure but my last 10 games are 7 losses and 3 wins. 2 of those wins were total stomps (we had them locked in their spawn room) and at least 5 of the losses where equally as bad.

I think smurfs are becoming a major problem too, especially spidey ones, they can turn the tide so easily by killing one of the supports and bolting out so fast and let their team roll.

its because all the easy to play characters go buffed to counter most characters to allow players to feel like they are good at the game. there was no need for the amount of buffs some characters got, healers defo need a nerf to ults and i don't mean to how long it takes to get another ult but how long ults last considering most healers ults are just immunity to damage

Yeah, that's another thing that will change as you get to higher ranks. In the lower ranks, divers are generally pretty bad and you can rely on them making bad approaches and having bad positioning to kill them off. At high ranks this is no longer the case so you supports will have to learn how to survive dive attempts. A bad support player who is free to dive can easily cause your team to lose the game if there's a really good Spiderman in the game.

I'd like to say there's an easy answer to this but there's really not. It's a lot of just gradually improving your positioning, map knowledge, callouts, etc. Even then, stomps will always be common in this game because matches are short and momentum-heavy. Even pro teams get stomped decently often.
