"Turn off voice and play what you want" is a toxic attitude that makes the game worse.

Sometimes the game can be frustrating, especially as a tank when it seems like it's nothing but counterwatch all day every day. And, on the surface, there's nothing wrong with playing who you want to play and trying to get better, even against counters. However, Overwatch is a team-oriented, online experience. Just by joining matchmaking, you're buying into that experience and it's unfair to act like you don't know that.

Why are you playing Overwatch if you want a single-player experience? If you don't want to participate in teamwork, why are you playing a game that requires teamwork? If you don't want to get flamed for running off by yourself, why are you playing a game with other people? You know what you signed up for.

Every problem is a team problem. Everyone wins and loses together. If someone is having a problem, *everyone* needs to think about how to fix it. Instead of thinking, "It's not my problem," you should be thinking about what you can do to help. Because regardless of whether or not they're having a problem, if they're on your team it is also your problem.

I'm not going to give you a hard time for picking the worst match-up at the start of the game. Widow on Clash against Sombra and Winston? Sure. Ball against Brig and Orisa and Sombra and Ana? Why not. Give it a shot, get some counter-counter practice in. But when it's obvious that it isn't working, just switch. Help your team.

Not just for their sake, but for your own. You will never progress if you develop bad habits that come from playing solo. You'll have a much better chance of popping off when your team is helping you. It really boggles my mind that people come to Reddit and complain that they can never win and their teams are always bad and never helpful, and then half the comments are telling them to ignore their team and do what they want. And you're surprised that you never win and your teams don't help you!?
