Don't play Ranked too early

(Artyrim) #1

Today I had half of day free so I wanted to play some ranked match. Started at 5:00 pm and had 3 matches… and I found
Phantoms, Crap Redeye, Guy who can’t use their molotov on c4,team killers,trolls , No medics and stuff like this in just 3 matches.

In other words: LOTS OF KIDS. They should watch peppa pig instead of playing ranked
Ussually I play Ranked from 8:00 pm to 10:00 pm, few matches. But fuck me for playing so early today

So my advice for you guys is to play after 7 pm when kids are ready to suck moms tits and sleep

Judging by your post it looks like your ranked experience wasn’t phenomenal. It’s likely that your own weight will not be the only you’ll be forced to carry whenever you decide to enter the realms of ranked. However, with some team-mates on your side you would have some support atleast. That’s the best advice I can give people: Do not solo queue.

From my ranked experience, playing early can be hit and miss. Sure you can get some pretty bad teammates, but the same goes for the enemy team. So long as you don’t get unlucky and run into large premades, it’s not so bad.
You just have to keep in mind new players usually pick skybro over aura. Meaning it’s usually better to bring an engi and a medic just in case. New players can do a lot more than you think when they’re grinding their asses on a medstation

Ranked is pretty bad anyways though. Even at “good times”.

Soloq seems to be the way this season for me. Especially at late evening

Don’t forget the guaranteed 20-30 minute wait times!

You’re going to experience all of that no matter what time you play ranked though. You just gotta get lucky enough to reach Cobalt or Elite Op. I gave up after a few days of ranked because it started pairing me with completely clueless teams at all times of the day. So now I just cry about my terrible connection issues (only in ranked, server browser is fine) and hope for a team to carry me. <3

DUDE I would use that medic every time if I have a fuckin “team” . A medic for people who can’t play is just one person less . Tried to play an Aura in defence… and? My teammates just pushed like tards in enemy base like kamikazes without being able to kill(1 redeye,1 hiding phantom, 1 thunder and a skyhammer tried to spawnkill in underground map first stage for 30 sec and then all died. And I? Got killed while running and ressing these nabs).
I’m used to “healers” in mmos so playing with a medic is pretty nice for me but I want a team and not just healing myself

20-30 minutes? For me is 30 sec - 3/4 minutes at max in EU servers
Talking about pings I feel your pain. I have about 30 pings more in the same servers and sometimes my pings(other people as well) are flying and carrying is impossible for me even though I don’t have problems in just 1vs1
