I Can't Do this Anymore

[NamanoNanaya]

I’m lost here?
We’re upset because there is a penalty to losing?
We’re upset because a team game isn’t show casing any one person particular skill?
We’re upset that a separate system that is optional and serves no function to progression or anything outside of its own system is difficult?
We’re upset that time + money doesn’t = guranteed rank?
Did I get all of this correctly?
This ruins it for you, but it’s actually the reason I and others enjoy it so much. There’s no satisfaction to be had here, usually people who are very pvp centric take the thrill of the battle to be the takeaway, I just like squaring off against others, no other rhyme or reason is required, if I get extra shit and happen to climb that’s just icing on the cake, without expectation, rhyme or reason.

This doesn’t sound like you, it sounds like you want the shinies and are owed the shinies, as someone else said here above me, I’d advise you step away from this and stay away, this is an optional system your probably better off not participating in for your own health.
In the end it’s your own choice you can climb with any job, is it rougher yes, but you don’t enjoy it.

The only thing I disagree with you on is you thinking that one person skill in team games shouldnt be weighted as heavily. Theres montages a plenty in FPS games like CS where a team gets wiped out the gate and its a 1v4 scenario and that 1 legend manages to kill 4 and take the round. LoL if we look at this recent split even before C9 shit the bed entirely in playoffs they had a few games where they couldnt get anything done anywhere except toplane but they won because their toplaner Summit *exists*

I would argue team games have even more solo skill expression than solo because when you drag the corpses of your entire team across the finish line with overwhelming skill its a bigger moment than any one 1v1 game.

This ^. Enjoyment is the key. I have a rough time climbing too but I enjoy the battle. I won't play a meta job that I hate playing, just because its meta, I play better on jobs I love and more importantly, I have fun.

If for even a short time, I become miserable or begin not having fun, I will immediately go do something else. Games are not worth ruining life over. Please people, if you don't enjoy the content, don't do it.

How is it a team game when you get random people you cannot communicate with?
