but in season four i hit grandmaster for the first time playing a mix of uh anna primarily lucio and zenyatta all of which worked reasonably well in dive but just anna was still busted at the time i believe so even if you play into dive it was a good chance you could still win but once i hit grandmaster the game got really unfun really really fast simply because it was one of those things where you know these days if you play competitive you feel like oh if my tanks don't go double barrier we lose or even if it's not double berry if you just don't have any shields the game feels so much harder than if you do have one that it often feels like why am i even playing right like why are we making this so difficult for ourselves and dive was kind of the same in the sense that i always felt like if my team was worse at dive than the enemy team i would lose and there's absolutely nothing i could do about it like it literally didn't matter how good my positioning how good my aim and how good my decision making was if the enemy team played a better dive than us then we lost and that was you would say that you know it's a skillful as a skill thing then it's fair right but for me as an individual it didn't feel fair because i was playing the support and let me just say support it was like such an such an unthankful role to play back in the day because it's like everyone always wanted you to do everything but nobody would go the way to peel because peeling was like a foreign concept to most people i guess it still isn't many ranks these days but essentially because there were there was no immortality field there was no brig bash right there was no brick passive healing brick really just kind of deleted dive where it stood but um because there was no anti-dive at the time your faith was sealed the moment you queued up for dps and that just really sucked because it wasn't fun to me like playing my favorite heroes anymore the game was supposed to be fun so essentially i started playing less and less going on from season four onwards and i just kind of played every season to get NUMBER_TOKENk because back then reaching NUMBER_TOKENk at the end of the season gave you enough points to buy a golden gun so i just kind of went like all right here's my placement games i play somewhere around NUMBER_TOKEN NUMBER_TOKEN i go get gm and i kind of stop playing and just decay my rank in a sense as i'm talking about this it really feels like not much has changed right it always feels like there's a meta where it starts off everyone's kind of like oh that's cool you know it's it's the new thing that we got to learn how to play and then it goes on for too long we all get bored but really the most frustrating thing about dive at the start was just the inevitability of it i wasn't asking for a hero like brig to like give me a get out jail free card like if you play zenbrig these days it's like you borderline immortal as zenyatta right it's like there are very few things that are really dangerous to you shy of a really well coordinated team and that also isn't really fun
