    You get SR based on how you preform to other players playing the same hero

    Enjoy your ban in the near future then.
    What is tank?

    "The basic idea of a tank is well understood. It works like an argument with my mother. The mobs keeps beating on you, and the more you throw it's own shit back at it, the more it focuses on you and hates you. Perplexing enough, this is actually not only your goal, but the mob eventually gives you loot and money when it dies instead of writing you out of its will." (Senotay)

    So when I'm throwing I'm performing better than a friend who sometimes gets close to no rating when we win and loses a ton?

    I've been doing this since season 1, no ban so far.

    Your hidden MMR might just be low from throwing as well

    I kind of doubt that. My rating during an evening of playing can fluctuate like 300-400 depending on how much we win or lose. If we go on a winning streak I'm getting up towards 40-60 rating per win. Happened last season, went from 2400 to 2800 in a few games. If we go on a losing streak, I lose just as much. My friends rating barely fluctuates, it's more like 100.

    Why would a low hidden MMR make me gain more than my friend anyhow?

    I would be interested to know how they worked it out, For examples if you just went around shooting people with Mercy your damage is going to be way higher than other Mercy players in comparison so will the system give you extra "kudos" for that

    SOme trolls/griefers are easier to spot than others. Some get upset in the middle of a match because someone on the team hates their pick and they get into it (as a for instance), things escalate, and that person picks a healer and then stands at the cap point doing emotes while telling you they won't heal. That person started off legitimately trying but then got pissed and became a griefer.
    Some people start a match and act like they are playing, but do things really bad. Like picking Junkrat and lobbing grenades in the area of the enemy team while not trying to hit anyone. Like shooting to the right of the cap point while all the enemy team is on it. They are grieving your team, but this is so hard to figure out/prove because they are acting like they are just bad.
    TLDR: some are very obvious while others aren't.

    I feel like they could really easily solve that by only letting you chose to decline to group with someone who were actually on your team during the match. Possibly with some popup warning about how excessive use of the feature can cause you lengthier queues. That way you can't decide to block a really good player from the enemy team but you can still avoid the scumbag/griefer/whathaveyou that was on your team.

    How do get out of low ranks? god i fucking rock with rein win or lose mvp but i am stuck at 1200 rating. always no healer or some retarded pick like widow on attack, fucking 0 rating thinking he can carry and picks genji etc.

    Why do you think I stopped playing late last year? It's all griefers, terrible teams who ignore objectives (Overwatch is WoW BGs?) and smurfing everywhere.

    Just keep playing.

    Yes, the teamwork and communication is much worse at 1200 - but remember the other team is suffering from it too.

    As long as you keep playing, you will eventually climb out of it if your personal skill is higher than 1200. It just might take some time. I had a 1k SR plummet last season (before they removed snowballing) that took me only a few days to drop but like three weeks to climb out of. Try playing at different times; I seem to have a much worse experience on the weekends, for example, than I do on weeknight evenings. It's also worth getting some experience on other heroes rather than "maining" one since that gives you more flexibility to swap based on what your team needs (or what you need to counter) This is probably especially important for you since Rein is one of the least popular tanks right now and he may not fit well with the kind of comps people are playing at the moment.

    Widow is very good on attack, especially on maps such as King's Row, Hollywood or Volskaya. There are several high grounds areas for her where she can punish ennemies with bad positioning.

    People are often going for super mobile comps and using Winston/Dva as tanks, along with Genji/Tracer/Lucio/Pharah...

    Long story short due to previous ratings dating back to S1, I placed in 1200 in S5 with 8 wins 1 loss 1 draw. I climbed my arse from there up to 2200, then in the course of one week from trolls and the likes I fell back to 1400

    It's really frustrating, especially when you have smurfs playing or people on smurfs advertising a carry to plat service at the end of the day, Just report them all and keep going
    I've seen my rating slowly dip each season as I do my placement matches, drop slightly from the last season's rating with 7-8 wins and then pretty much give up until the next season. I really wish they'd do an ELO reset because I really don't have the time anymore to claw my way out of silver. Pesky adulting gets in the way.

    Rein isn't bad, it's just that dive/high mobility comps are very popular right now. That means that he's less useful both to your team -- if they are picking those kinds of heroes -- but also may struggle with what the other team picks as they may counter a lot of your utility.

    D.Va is a good pick right now. Winston is the other very popular tank, if you are a big fan of tanks.

    Do you play Quick Play or Competitive? If the former, you should really try Competitive. I am a very casual player, therefore i thought QP would be perfect for me - god i was wrong. In Competitive, people care about useful team compositions and my experience is much, much better than in Quick Play.

    And btw, i am also one of the older guys (33) and imho, tank is the most relaxing role to play, healer/dps (especially a flanker) is much more hectic and demanding - but this is of course very subjective.

    @iddqd I always play ranked. competitive. i think it is the problem with Asia server. last night 3 instant loses because of retarded picks, 3 loses in 15 minutes. Instant. everybody throws picks bullshit. only good thing is the 25ms I have. Then i switched to America. God amazing experience. 3 games 3 wins. all reasonable and people speak English. down side is 250 ms. Still I would take 250 ms with a team who can speak English to communicate over 25ms stupid Korean kids picking bullshit speaking gibberish over any day. god bless usa. had a blast really.
