Brief recap of my overwatch history.
Played during alpha/beta on pc and placed rank 47 on pc in season 1 (for what that's worth had less than 10 hours played at that point, so there was probably some luck involved. These games were done on my brothers account as i did not own the game yet and for whatever reason he was scared to do placements and thought i was better suited)
i think i have ~ 40-50 hours clocked up to date now, with the bulk of that time on ps4.
Should add that i will be getting my pc back before summer (moved from east to west coast in canada and left some things behind at my parents for storage)
ps, anyone know of the most safe/reliable company to ship a 1200$ pc ? i'm scared.
Anyways back to Overwatch.
Started on ps4 in december and mained junkrat during quickplay leveling. Tried my luck in s3 placements and ended up mid to high 1800's and ending the season somewhere near there after reaching a very teasing 1954 season high.
Was bouncing a lot between mid to high silver.
S4 placements came around and i knew that the MMR should work the same as every other competitive game and that winning all 10 or losing all 10 wouldn't place me that far off my final mark of 1800's.
Sure enough, after a very shitty performance i placed bottom of the barrel silver, low 1500's and even took a dip into bronze. Lowest point mid 1400's.
In just under 6 hours i went from 1400's to high 2100's going on a 11-0-2 rampage.
I don't think i'm amazing at the game, or the best in the world. I think my current ranking reflects my current skill rating, with a potential to be decent if i work on pretty much every aspect of the game.
That said, i'm not having a hard time 'carrying' in my current elo and consistently (every game) get at least bronze medals (not too sure the value of medals/kda in this game, i know high impact kills > many low impact kills though)
I still can't play tanks outside of d.va/roadhog effectively and my strats for each map/gametype are lacking. Not too worried about that as time/practice will remedy that.
I don't rage, i'm the first to admit a mistake or misplay. I know i'm not flawless and my current goal is to work on making less mistakes mechanically and strategically.
I played competitive wow/league (peaked 1900's in wow, and gold 1 in league) so i am familiar with teamfighting/macro play/communication)
I'm 31, live in BC Canada, eh.
Have a mic, and a job that lets me finish at 3:15 so i can get a decent amount of time in after work each day and pretty much all my time on the weekends.
No wife, no kids. No immediate longterm commitments that could/would pull me away from progressing with a team.
What i'm looking for:
People of equal skill or equal attitude, preferably both.
So it matters more to me that you're self critical, low ego and low maintenance than equal or higher SR than me. I want to be able to depend on you to perform to your best, always, and without hearing excuses about lag/shitty team mates/ unluckiness etc.
If you can't be real with yourself and accept that you're not the best, we just can't get along on a personal level.
If you rage in chat, flame team mates, flame opponents or do things like tea bagging; we wont get a long on a personal level.
Touching on the low ego subject, i know that high skill rating and high ego are correlated.
I want you to believe in yourself, to be confident in your abilities. Just not cocky or arrogant. If you can't back the talk up then its best you stay quiet.
Showing humility and being humble are very valuable traits.
I don't care about age/race/sex or beliefs.
I will play with anyone who shows a willingness to improve on their own play.
What i expect from people who show interest in this:
A certain level of dedication, please no sorry wife wants to spend time with me, ganked by kids. If you don't have the time for a team then its best for everyone that you remain a casual competitive player.
A certain level of communication, i'm mic shy so i understand if you're more comfortable listening than shotcalling. But i think in a team based game solid communication with low skill > low communication with high skill.
At the very least being able to relay on the fly information when its necessary... e.g Get this fucking tracer off me please - Our healer
Please comment here, or pm me if interested and i will PM you my PSN.
There will not be any "tryouts" for this. Those who show dedication and interest in taking a team as high as we can collectively go will be chosen.
