No such thing as a close game

[John Smith]

Anybody else notice this game is just one side completely steam rolling the other and there is very rarely such thing as a close game that couldve gone either way?

Im either going 20 and 0 absolutely dominating and winning or going 5 and 8 getting rolled over

TL;DR:
Game uses psychological tricks to farm your attention, which often translates to spending money, similar to mobile games and coomer games.

maybe you're just losing to every real match you encounter, and only winning against bots
ive had many close games, some games where my team gets 0 kills and some games the enemies get 0 kills (not bots)

Very interesting read but Id never pay for cosmetics in any game ever lol

I definitely had both great games and terrible games in ranked, but since I keep getting 20 hour penalties due to failed loading almost daily I'd assume it was not ranked.
I checked the enemy team's profiles and they were real people, somehow only 4 deaths on my team the whole match

There are no bots in ranked, but EOMM is there, notice how your team sometimes consists of the nicest and most competent players, while other times 1 or 2 people are actively throwing, while also going full tilt mode and yelling/typing insults?

And this is Diamond/GM rank.... it's devastating.

That's not the point, you never have a 100% conversion rate, but after feeling like you carried a game, you will still think "wow what a cool hero X is", it will push at least the brand image and you still will continue to participate in the EOMM cycle.

Had a couole of them in competitive, but yeah, most are stomp or get stomped
