Notes

Paraiso

Their support crew was better than ours, and their Mauga was highly active. And I got out-moirad, though I did okay.

1. First Season-9 reranking

   My first experience of the refreshed progression

Esperanca

2nd loss in a row, again paired with JoeBits (Echo), who did just fine. I did better at staying alive, avoiding lots of bad stuff, but I didn’t work with my team too well. Look at the deaths on our tank; he was on non-stop death-missions, and it was impossible to follow him.

1. Permabronze still?

   

   at this rate, Permabronze might not be gone…

Hollywood first win!

Hollywood. My first win of the patch! We still had a tank who struggled past the first point, but when the time came (round 4) he pulled through!

Placement in process, team is not irrelevant in Overwatch

… and that’s it for the day. One win, 3 losses. Awkward¹ says your team doesn’t matter; that is silly. Maybe when you have GM skills and can solo-carry, but Overwatch should not be that way.

Footnotes

¹ Awkward, a top GM whose motto is “Damage, damage, damage” even on support, and whose sub-line is “It’s not your teammates fault you are not winning.” Taking responsibility is crucial, but especially as a support, without GM skills, your team is crucial.
