I'm sorry everyone, I just need a place to vent and this is the community I feel closest to.
So I'm in gold. I'm not an amazing player, I admit that. But, I have very good qualities about me. I've got very good game sense, good teamwork, great communication, and most of all, I'm a god pharah. However, you can only use pharah in so many situations. I put on good performances on genji, tracer, Zarya, Dva, monkey, and some other DPS, but I try to play for the team as much as possible.
Today I got to 2418, and then suddenly, I plummeted downhill with 7 losses in a row right back to 2200. Now I know it doesn't sound too bad, but along that tumultuous path I encountered toxic people who called me a faggot, an entire team who told me I was throwing (I was playing Ana and doing my best as her because no one else offered to heal), a roadhog who would tell the enemy team all of our ults, a Dva who just waved hi and dove into the enemy team on purpose, and i was told to kill myself twice. That's just in a few hours, and this consistently happens to me.
I really try my best to be a team player, and I really try so hard to climb out of gold. I know they all say this, but I do believe I belong in platinum or tiers above, because I know I have the consistently improving mechanics and gamesense to hang there.
I love this game so much, yet nights like these just really put me in a horrible, sour mood. Sorry for the vent.
