Finally above 50% winrate in ranked this season! How many games did it take?
... 571.
Hey man, you don't play Blizzard games for "fair and balanced" matchmaking. You want to do well, you're
gonna have to struggle, and by struggle, I mean climbing a wall with no arms and using just your teeth and
legs.
So far Placements this season were not great.
1st game was lost because we had an Illidan pick, right after the enemy team had an Artanis, Brightwing, and
Diablo in their selection. So it was pretty much 4 v 5 that game. Illidan was constantly picked apart with no
way for us to peel. And seriously, why do people play him. Illidan is fucking terrible, and there are a bunch of
other heroes who can do his job much better.
Second game, first time playing DW in Ranked, and I somehow don't manage to die nearly as often as the
other two dps on my team (both with 6-7 deaths each), with my own being 3. Completely outperformed
them in dps and kills as well.
3rd game was the hard fought win. Towers of Doom, with their 8 vs. our 5 left, the team went for the
bottom right merc camp, and the enemy team pushed in on us. I managed to, as Dehaka get a clutch
Isolation, and having picked Contagion as the lvl 20 talent, I silenced their entire team, allowing our
Gul'dan to just spam AoE with my Dark Swarm and finish them off, allowing us to win it.
In the end, got sent to Silver 3, the same mother fucking Rank I was ELO Hell'd in for the last couple
of seasons (and literally, all of last season was ping ponging between Silver 3 and 2).
It's great that Deathwing was added and all, but for fuck's sake Blizzard, FIX. THE. MATCHMAKING.
SYSTEM. ALREADY.

I reached Diamond 2 for the first time last night. And now I have 7 losses in a row. Yay.
What's with the Cho'gall raidboss running around now?
Dips below 5% hp, activates gotta go fast talent which makes him go mach 10 and then heals up to 50% hp. Also impossible to run away from. We had to use 2-3 ults at the same time to kill him. Once.
I swear to fucking god, everytime I get the "Win 3 games" quest and play Ranked games, I lose about 10+ games before I
get my 3 wins.
The sheer amount of people who actively do not want to win in ranked on weekends is utter insanity.
I've had my bizarre team comp that on paper should get destroyed, and yet we somehow win. Most of the time it's due to
the other team just being flat out terrible, with the rare occasion was us winning by a botched move on their part.
I'm guessing in this case, that team you fought was terrible?
I've played this game since July 2014. And today is the first time I've impressed someone enough with my plays for them to link me their soundcloud.
Never happy to see someone pick Abathur, and thus far, I've yet to be proven wrong. The games I've
won with an Abathur on the team incomparison to losing because of having them is like, 4/12 overall.
So PSA, don't pick Abathur unless you have the group's permission.
