Overwatch is the first FPS I play and I've fallen in love with it. I'm level +150. In quick play I did good and I thought I was good. I won some games, I lost some others, had a 50% winrate, an average thing. But yesterday I got into competitive and I lost every single placement match. I was put into rank 35. I've been miserably losing every single game since then and now I am in rank 26, and I keep losing. Perhaps I'll reach rank 1 soon. According to masteroverwatch, there are very few players under rank 35. That makes me feel comfortable somehow. We are a small family.
I still love this game and I won't stop playing, don't get me wrong, it's okay. I've put a lot of time and effort in this game and I am still bad, and people tell me to "git gud" but I know that it's in my nature to plainly suck. People in team chats tell me I'm terrible and I just agree with them. (They never know what to say after that). But I'm scared. I'm scared of paparazzi waiting outside my house to ask me how does it feel to be one the absolute most terrible players. What if now people only talk to me because I'm one of the worst players ever? So they can brag to their friends about it. How am I going to top this? I can be successful in life, in my job, in everything, but it will never feel like being in the lowest rank in all Europe in competitive Overwatch. I think my life has built up to this and now it has no meaning at all.
So you should enjoy that rank 40. Or maybe 50, if you are rank 50 I will worship you like a deity. If you are rank 60 you can probably kill me by only vaguely thinking about it. If you are rank 70 you are equivalent to the forces of the universe to me. If you are rank 70 you are the one causing the rotation of the planet right now. You are amazing and you shouldn't listen to that player in chat telling you to uninstall your game because, I don't know, you killed yourself as Pharah with your own rockets or whatever. When someone gets play of the game and then they say "haha that was a terrible potg xD such skill", I can't wrap my head around it. What do you mean a terrible potg? You killed like 4 people with an ult while I was being my I-am-the-worst-player self dying 50 times as Tracer or something. To me you just did a work of art.
If you feel like a terrible player at some point, just remember that I exist, look up to the sky, and I'll be there. The absolute worst player. If you feel like you are useless because you can't kill that Bastion around the corner, remember that no matter how bad you are, at least you aren't me, and you can always destroy me a thousand times.
I didn't actually write this I just found it on reddit and thought it was funny
