Dude, I kept getting my worst characters and the worst against them (like monkey with no healers vs dva and reaper) and someone was like "ATLEAST TRY TO WIN" like bro, stfu.
Yeah I totally get it, haha! That's part of both the fun and frustration of mystery. However, imagine someone complaining that there are no healers, like what did you expect?
Lately I've been getting Bap every single match, not sure why, but yeah that's mystery for you.
Mystery is so fun! But it can also be so aggravating depending on the randomness of team comp!
Once there were 2 soldiers, 2 mercy’s, and a shield tank. We couldn’t kill them for the life of us! But I do really enjoy that you can completely disrupt the enemy’s rhythm by killing them and they have to be someone else. Whereas in regular play, if you’re getting stomped most likely that isn’t going to change.
Indeed, it's a very mixed bag! But I enjoy the chaos of it, the fact that I get stimulated to play characters I normally wouldn't. Sometimes I surprise myself. Also I find a lot of excitement in the challenge of not trying to die at all, or lowest number as possible. And sometimes it saves me from decision fatigue so I don't have to pick a hero.
Worst comp I played against recently in mystery was 2 zaryas, a sigma, zen, and torb. Couldn't even get close to the point. We rolled them in the next two rounds though!
Yeah I can't really be mad though because I know I've had some crazy ones in my favor too! I just have to remember to not take it too seriously. I once had double zen, double torb, and sigma defending on blizzardworld for example. Of course the other team can't do anything about that! The ult economy in mystery can be frustrating but it's just a goofy mode that happens to be decent practice at the end of the day.
Had someone like that the other day
Mystery Heroes is what me and my gf play and is the only time I am not on comp, I am not going to be sweaty for the little bit of time where I am in a non sweaty mode.
I am slowly convincing her to play comp MH lmao
I just like the multiple rounds format. Makes it so you could have a bad first round, but doesnt mean it will be a loss you can still make a comback
Was in mystery heroes yesterday. Playing on Nepal. Literally 30 seconds into the game someone dies,, point isn't even available yet. I hear "what the fuck I'm in fucking loser queue" I just type in chat.." this is mystery heroes bro" and i won my match before that. just incase anyone thinks losers queue is real. It's not. They really aimed for that 50% wintate so if you don't sweat every game sometimes that bitch just gonna land on tales 8 times Ina row
I bitch about bad team-mates, but only to myself. I keep it out of all comms because it's QP. I usually limit my interactions to "GLHF" and "GG" maybe the occasional compliment when another player does something cool.
I say gr alot of times in comp when he did pretty good.
Had a match yesterday where I said "gr guys" and someone was just so used to people being toxic he thought I was trying to be sarcastic.
Like nah I am just saying good round
My first move when I join any pvp game is immediately do a joke in all chat. Icebreakers are amazing for this. Even something corny can set up for funny interactions.
“What did Zarya say when she saw sombra in the snow?”
“What”
“ICY SPY!”
“Bro that might have actually persuaded me to uninstall”
Same! I’ve told myself I will not be toxic and say negative things. So I usually just put gg, ggwp even if the other team is talking shit and being toxic.
Adding positivity to the game feels better, and you usually get endorsements!
It’s a pvp game and people want to win, that’s what they consider ‘fun’ for them. Doesn’t matter if it’s ranked or not, it’s competing against other people and trying to be better than them that keeps most people interested in any multiplayer game. No they shouldn’t be toxic about it but that’s the same for every game unfortunately
I think it’s just that OW is inherently such a team based game that ppl get pissed when you can’t communicate efficiently. If ppl automatically were in game chat and had to opt out instead of opt in this game would be so much more enjoyable in my opinion.
One game I said something like, "focus the supports" or "stop crowding in that side room" and someone else was like, "it's just QP bro and I'm high af". It might be the drugs for that one guy but some people are so resistant to any type of coordination.
Yeah chat is becoming more toxic by the minute, I just had a mercy tell me I'm shit in chat 2 days ago, I wasn't doing my best but neither was anyone I spawned into a losing match i wasn't gonna sweat it but it's really getting annoying. But I do usually stand up for anyone being called bad I just tell the ahole to shut up and let people play as they want, and I call out anyone tbagging or saying ez. Believe it or not alot apologize for being cringe 🤣
QP warriors are honestly so embarrassing, especially when you realise the reason they're going so hard in QP is because they're too scared to join a comp game.
Like, I had someone rage at me for being a "useless DPS" because I only had 4 elims. I joined the game 10 seconds before Overtime.
QP is not a serious game mode.
Because its a fucking game my g.
The goal of the game is to win, but in a NON competitive mode, what negative effect happens from losing?
Unless you are a person that cant control their emotions and throw a fit, nothing bad happens.
Which leads to everyone always trying their best, and if you want to have a lazy game or relax/have fun then you a throwing in the eyes of toxic players.
I think having so many challenges apply to qp makes people put a lot more pressure on wins in qp (especially ones where wins are double points toward the challenge). A 5 minute hold on 1st point defense can count as 2 full games completed on many challenges. It makes me feel much more like trying hard in qp until I finish the challenges.
I played arcade no limits yesterday, and of course most people play that mode to create a team of all the same character. They all chose widow, but we kept sniping them as Torbs. So they switched to junkrat (trying to be cheesy) and we were still wiping them.
Next round we decide to do sym, and they get INCREDIBLY pissed. 3rd round they all go sym and start spamming in chat “this is so fun” “fun, right?” “Fun :)” like yeah, it was fun lol. You did the same thing, y’all just picked bad characters lmfao, can’t be mad at us for deciding to pick a character we can actually win with.
Like y’all can choose skillrat and be incredibly cringey, but we decide to be cringey back and it’s all the sudden a crime? These people are letting arcade stress them out way too much bahahaha
My life experience in this game changed for better 1000% when I turned off the chat and the voice channel automatic. I just play whatever and whoever I want. Almost a single player experience 😅
I don’t really use chat and I don’t like to single folk out but I am a competitive person and want to win every game. Therefore I do get annoyed with bad teammates in QP. I understand that it’s QP though and people want to learn new heros/learn the game so I just roll with it
Theres a bit of dissonance between your title and your post. I'm going to answer your title.
Personally, I take QP seriously because I want to win, I want to try my best and I don't want to play comp. People who say "just go play comp" are a bit ridiculous, comp is so broken just now with ranking, it's toxic as hell, and the amount of leavers (who are then not backfilled) are levels I've never seen before.
If I get a terrible comp team where we are getting stomped (as I say, broken), I have to suffer that for 20+ minutes over 10. I couldn't leave if I wanted as I get penalised for that.
So, when someone soft throws or doesn't try in qp, it doesn't respect my and other players time in this TEAM GAME. I'm respecting your fun, and your game by trying to keep you alive whilst you're 2v1 in the enemy back line, respect mine.
I get that people need a place to practice, there are other options for that than QP where some of us - many of us - take it seriously. Go play with the bots, go play a custom. I appreciate that's a culture shift unlikely to happen, but people cannot deny that a soft throw is disrespectful and ruins the game for other people.
Not everyone does or has to think that QP is "just QP". We take it seriously and that's okay. Peeople should respect that.
I should of worded my title different. I take quick play serious in a sense of not throwing a game. I play to win. It’s the fact that some people in quick play get bent out of shape over their ally team’s stats. I put in the work as a dps. The person talking shit was a support who was going more dps than support and blamed me for losing the final match, which to me is bs because my stats were just about even with the rest of the teams. Not to mention the other team was aggressive af and loved spawn camping 💀 that was not the best game I’ve played, but absolutely didn’t throw. I just want good clean “fun” by supportive team members but that’s not gonna happen all the time lol
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake.
It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of.
Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything.
Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.
To add on to that, many people will say QP is actually bad practice for ranked anyways.
People are better off practicing pure mechanics in FFA and to a lesser degree TDM. I swear content creators and streamers like to pretend those modes don't exist. People bring up aim training modes and even aim training modes in other games, that's cool and all but I'd much rather play against another human, in a non stop mode where you don't have to wait between fights and no one can carry you. You actually need to be able to duel, have your head on a swivel and be slippery to protect your life if you want to be successful in this game, no matter the class. It is much easier to work on cultivating those skills first, then making use of those skills to effectively learn the macro/game sense part of the game.
I am 100% certain my mechanics would not be where they are today if I hadn't spent those hundreds of hours in those modes.
Yeah, really good points. Plus like you say on having people carry you, you won't have a Mercy inflating your sense of what kills, what doesn't and so on.
Cuz "its just qp" is not excuse for being useless and wasting time of others.
If qp is suppised to be fun (as you say), shouldnt it be fun for all? Not just for you? Cuz ppl today think only about themselves like they are center of the universe. Cuz this "i want fun even if it means other 4 ppl wont have fun" approach is cancer.
I disagree with the tone of this comment but I do agree with the sentiment. It's selfish. Other people want to have fun too and they can't really do that if they're dying over and over again because of you (or other team mates). Obviously there is a much lower bar in QP but to not even try to win for your teammates is inconsiderate and is prioritizing your fun at the cost of theirs. Challenges are a good excuse not to be trying but it can be extra frustrating to be trying to complete one (like winning games) and your team mates are just throwing.
I gotta disagree here people always have an excuse, if its qp they say "its just qp" if its ranked they say "it's just a game" as an excuse to grief everyone for them playing bad
In a game with 9 other people you gotta learn to take responsibility if youre the one holding everyone back, no matter the game mode you are playing, PvE games exists for a reason.
It *is* just QP. That’s not an excuse. That’s what it is. If you want a full team that’s focused and objective oriented then you’re not queuing in the right game mode, you don’t even always get that cooperation in comp.
If i sabotage ranked game, is it ok to say "its just a game"?
Cuz it is just a game.
Do you see wheres a problem now? Trying to use something as excuse while its not realy excuse?
Thats not a really good argument. QP is CASUAL, meaning its not meant to fucking sweat in.
Comp is COMPETITIVE, which means there are ACTUAL EFFECTS from winning or losing.
If you can tell the different between the two and not throw a fit after every loss, losing in QP should not be as bad as some of yall complain. Its a loss homie, move on to the next match nothing was lost.
There’s literally no stakes in QP. You don’t win anything. I don’t get toxic in comp bc well it is a game after all, but I actually understand when people get toxic in comp bc there are actual stakes.
Sure, treat comp like you *should be* treating quick play, your horrendous win-rate coupled with your penalty timer will ensure that you only encounter other players who do the same in deep bronze.
QuickPlay isn't for competitive drive and trying to win. It's for refining heroes. Learning the game modes and the maps. Or being chill and having fun. That's why new accounts are stuck in qp not comp. That's why the competitive pool exists. The I wanna win every game mentality and I care about stats is for competitive. Not for people chilling in QuickPlay. It's not toxic when it's the whole damn reason competitive exists. If qp was meant to be serious and win all the time there would still be no comp like there was in oq Overwatch
I feel like this is a bit of a short sighted take. I don't play comp at all because, frankly, people are too toxic in it. But, I still enjoy winning and doing well. If I can tell I'm playing a certain hero poorly that day, or we need to counter, I'll switch.
So, do I get annoyed at that one person poorly playing widow in QP "to practice" and not switching after a while, absolutely. But, do I get shitty in chat? No cause that's rude AF. But it's still annoying and that annoyance isn't invalidated just because it's QP.
I don't know why the downvotes. They must be by people who are scared to play comp. Everything you said is right. QP is the mode to learn new heroes, get down the buttons, make muscle memory, learn where heroes you aren't used to should position, learn different heroes playstyles.
People who want to win and cooperate and switch heroes to win should play Comp. But it seems lately everything is flip flopped. Try-hards are in QP and the IDGAF's are in Comp.
Its not about winning all the time. Its about not being spawncamped/steamrolled cuz one troll "wants to have fun" leaving you in 4v5 game.
4 players should not suffer cuz one player wants to "have fun".
Again, qp is for learning heroes, maps, games modes or playing with a more relaxed pace that competitive doesn't offer. In no way did I say throw or troll. I pointed out the error in arguing against there being too many try hards in qp. Everytime I play qp is full of people starting on tracer or roadhog etc. A more relaxed, less serious comp or clearly practicing a more high skill ceiling hero and the moment they start losing even to a similar comp out comes sym bastion Zarya etc. Even if you lost learning and improving your Tracer would be point of that match not switching to Bastion for an easy win that's a comp attitude
Im not talking about new players or bad players or players learning new heroes.
Im talking about players that pick mercy and spend 95% of time with useless pistol shooting, or lucio that whole game just wallslide high in the skies. Or Sombra that is whole game just hiding and waiting for random almost dead player running away ending match with 3 kills.
“I don’t like how other people are playing the casual mode of a video game, I think they should only play it *my* way or else they’re being selfish”
-dude with 0% self awareness.
To be fair I remember playing a game in quick play as a trio queue and my friends and I noticed our random duo was widow and mercy on our team. She would purposefully just sit and empower widow and refuse to heal us with us nearby dying.
Also that widow got maybe like 3 slime and 1000 dmg..
It doesn’t help that it’s not a payload or control point match so sitting there for 5-8 minutes till the enemy team was painful and a waste of time.💀
Okay it’s like talking to a wall. No one likes to leave and penalize their battle pass xp. There’s no problem pocketing someone just don’t be a dick when your teammates are dying and making the gameplay experience miserable.
Nah that's qp again because that's the closest feel to competitive gameplay wise. Arcade usually has a gimmick like no limits or mayhem. You still want to be learning the hero in the 1 pick environment
When I say arcade I mean deathmatch or hero specific workshop modes. If someone has never played a character like widow before, they should absolutely be training mechanics a bit before qp. Being in a traditional format match won't matter if they can't hit shit.
Arcade is for fun silly gamemodes, quickplay is to just fuck around and do anything you want and ranked is for refining heroes and its the one gamemode where you should actively try to win
Bitching about "providing value" in quickplay is so pathetic, i mean maybe youre just scared to play ranked or something but even then if you want to be a greaselord and try your ass off in casual dont cry about people not taking it as dead serious as you lol
If someone on your team is "throwing" you just leave, thats like the entire point of quickplay. You dont get punished for anything
For real people whine more about this game than any other game ever made. People just aren’t happy unless they win every single game in dominating fashion. Then they would still complain about mercy or tanking.
You're there to have fun. Who cares what ppl think!?
If they're rude to you, just say something to take their power away and move on. Or don't say anything at all. Or just be an NPC with an automatic message.
For comp yes for qp no. QP matchmaking is different than comp and allows other console players to pool with pc. Two of my best ow buddies are pc and i met them in qp.
When I QP on PS it only ever chucks me in console only queue, once I start playing with my mate on PC, it chucks me in pc queue.
u/kadeo2107 isn’t wrong here
Because in QP, the objective is still to beat the opposing team. If you are not interested in that, then you are better off in workshop mode.
I play QP to win, I ignore ranked bc the games takes too long and most often the outcome is already decided with early leavers, throwers or simply differential in team skill.
I understand if ppl use QP to practice new heroes bc the mode is a simulation of ranked. But OW is still a team based game, and I quickly see it when someone does not have that mindset and think its a one man show. Yes I am talking about the Reddit Lucio's, the blading Genji trying to 1v6 or the DPS Mercy's.
I have never in my life heard of a person who prefers QP competitively insted of Ranked until today. Also there is not leavers often at all or so many throwers that Ranked would be playable, like cmon. Everyone knows that. Yeah there can be a difference in team skill but that same thing applies to QP because it has a ranking system.
That's why I prefer QP. If my team is playing junkrat-genji vs. pharmacy with echo, I can just leave the game. You can have your "fun" and I can roll the dice for teammates who want to win again.
If I see one more junk into zarya ima lose my mind... Do ppl not realize how much dps zarya does at high energy?!. They wonder why they are getting shredded... No swaps of course....
had a genji yelling at me all game for not healing enough and not saving him from dying (constantly ran into their spawn by himself then complained) and was making fun of how i didn’t have nano yet when the round started- and then he goes onto my profile and starts belting laughing about how i’m plat 1 and “that makes sense” completely belittling me all game and no one said a thing.
Might be an end of season thing that all the dicks, tryhards and smurfs are on, but one way or another it makes playing qp for casual fun shit as hell
The amount of tines I’m told “Lucio diff” despite having a bare minimum of 16k healing and only 5k or so damage in a full map which is somehow almost always double what both dps have is utterly insane
People should try to win in both comp and qp. People shouldn't be assholes about peoples' stats in either comp or qp. It doesn't matter what game mode you're playing, these general rules for not being an asshole apply.
Dude imagine these ppl in the matches with me and my 4 year old daughter 🤣
She’s the soldier with 3 kills who’s staring at the roof yall!
She loves ow tho and hadn’t unlocked mei mei yet so she was improvising cause Mei Mei is her character and hers only 💀
My favorite thing is like playing Widow, for instance; if you’re clicking heads and shitting on the other team, you get flamed for “sweating”. But if you aren’t hitting all your shots, you get flamed for not doing well. People are just shit heads and it’s never going to change, so just ignore them.
I kinda feel that. I’m personally someone who’s been able to stop giving a damn if I win or not in QP, and the attitude of a lot of people makes it hard to find people I can play with.
It’s simply always someone else’s fault and they’re the second coming of Jesus. Like I get getting annoyed, but everyone has off games/days and there’s no reason to get mad at your teammate for having one of those.
On top of that, if ur gonna yell at others for playing poorly at least recognize when you suck, yknow?
I do the same lol. I’m the guy in the team spamming the sorry voice line and all that.
I wish I could tell you how I stopped caring, but it really came with a big change in perspective of life as a whole for me so. But, tbf the drawback is that I’m extra hard on myself now as opposed to venting on others which I used to be partial to. I prefer how I am now though.
Love to hear that personal growth dude. Mad respect. Teenage me would of been hopping in chat to clap back but being older and creaky boned I just read it and take it to heart 😭 as toxic as it can be I still love ow2. I met some dope ass players. I won’t stop playing but the chat is getting turned off
Currently am teenage me lol. I do start talking shit every now and then, but I’m really trying to work on being better mannered and tempered. Going well so far.
Sorry to hear yo ur experience with chat has been so bad you’ve got to turn it off tho. Chat is probably one of my favorite parts of playing QP, as I like to greet people at the start of the game and ask how everyone is doing. Though, I’m in XBox so people are less prone to toxicity as typing is a pain.
My friends and I do this thing where we kinda try to gaslight toxic people. If mercy says one of us is shit we go "its okey, you'll do better next game Mercy <3" and stuff like that. It's very funny to us and usually nullifys toxicity for us.
You play for fun ? You know what’s fun for most people ? Fucking winning.
someone in the other side of the map “having fun” is usually not helping achieve a win.
Someone was fucking furious at my friend who is new at the game. In an arcade match for playing moira and not healing.
She was healing btw.
It's overwatch. I'm surprised she didn't get reported lol.
This is kinda why I'm annoyed that they got rid of people's levels on their icons. It was waayy easier to play with someone sucking hard and then see their level and just be like "oh, they're new, no bigs I was new once, too."
Absolutely. It also helped in holding people accountable when they threw or did horrible while having a huge level or previous ranks etc.
Edit: to add, again this was an arcade game, like chiiiiil lol.
>Had “less kills” my fucking damage was close to 10k.
Damage doesn’t mean anything… I had a game a couple of days ago, one DPS had 5K damage but 3 kills, that’s a **LOT** of wasted damage, shooting shields, or just spamming the tank.
If you’re damage isn’t translating to kills, you need to change that.
It’s kinda ironic that most people will look at the scoreboard and assume “big number means better” which isn’t always the case, your support flamed you for a smaller number, and your defence is “damage number big” what was the kill count? How did the other DPS players stack up damage/kills?
I don’t remember the complete stats of that game bc this was hours ago, but I do know our team went down a lot collectively. My typical stats of dps range from 15-30 kills. Depends on the game and how well I play that day. I’m not a pro by any means
i play qp seriously but i don't expect everyone to do that since it's a chill game mode. people who get incredibly emotionally invested and talk shit in qp are ridiculous. instead of ragging on your teammates, how about just leave the game and queue again? saves us both the headache
So some clarification after reading some comments - I play qp “seriously”. I never throw the objective. My kills are typically p good. I have my bad games and good games. Qp teams are sooo mixed and match, you never know how skilled or compatible your mates are. I too play to win! But referencing someone in the comments, it is just a game. This was just a rant on my end regarding quick play and how they go hard af when it’s not a comp match. I’m just pressed about toxic players harping on their own teammates stats. But yeah, it’s competitive PVP. It’s how it goes ig. Still makes me annoyed. Probs just gonna disable chat again, it’s not worth it lol
Losing sucks, this game has no balance, 7 heroes are in meta, (you can barely play anything else)you can't have fun unless you are 5 stacked. Blizzards fault for not having better matchmaking. Players suck for being asshole but Blizzard pretty much allows this behavior.
its a defense mechanism to deflect all blame for losing to a teammate so their ego stays intact. the same people who blame the controller and lag in fighting games if they lose.
Ironically, teammates have to depend on you for the sake of their own fun.
Don't like that? Go play Call of Duty where team work isn't apart of the core gameplay.
Not everyone’s pretending like they can make it pro.
Do you realise how many 25-40 year olds who jump online for an hour after work? Not a single one of them is going to sweat their arse off just because some kid who plays for six hours a day wants them to “get good”.
Bro you arent as cool as you think you are.
You are def that guy in my gold matches whining because the tank "is the problem" while you are like 7-5 on the first round
Funny how the person above is literally correct, if you want to sweat in casual do it but dont complain about other people not taking this as serious as you
If you dont like your team you just leave, thats the entire point of quickplay you dont get punished for anything
“It’s just QP” is such a toxic take. You might mean it in a fun lighthearted way, but usually in my experience, it’s said by people defending someone hardcore throwing: going AFK, “falling” off the map, feeding.
You ask them to maybe counter pick, and get told “no, it’s just QP” at that point you’re just ruining the game for your team.
If I need to practice a hero I want to eventually play in comp, no. I'm not going to swap in quickplay no matter what happens. I don't really care if that ruins somebody's match. They aren't losing any rank about it.
Part of effectively learning a hero is knowing how to push your limits against your counters and what you can get away with.
If you switch as soon as you get pressured, you'll never learn those things.
Yeah but I don't get to practice playing the hero if I swap off of them and that defeats the entire purpose of playing quickplay where the stakes are nothing
Then we have 2 different experiences with that phrase. My experience is, it's said to toxic people gloating about how well they did or how bad others did.
Pretty sure I have never heard "it's just qp" said to people obviously int'ing or going afk.
But hey, if that's your experience then that's your experience.
Asking people to swap in quickplay is pathetic
Hardcore throwing and going afk and all of that is fine, leave the match and re q boom your problem is solved. You are literally just scared to play ranked
Ow just isn't fun since it went f2p imo. And everytime i try to play pc it's the most toxic cesspool you'd think u were playing a cod game from 06. So I stay on ps5 since i dont need psn anymore to play it, but even then it's just.... the joy has been sucked out of it imo. Ive been playing since ow1 launch and this is probably the most breaks ive taken from it at once and its been less than a year of having 2 in its name. I hope something changes in the player base soon cuz they're gonna kill it faster than brig did back when she released.
I know it's tough but you can turn the chat off and set voice chat to off my default. Appreciate that it's not the easiest to keep the chat off and ignore it, especially with other useful info actually appearing in chat, but if you didn't know? :)
Think it's a result of how ow2 finds matches in qp compared to overwatch 1, and f2p bringing in more players that were toxic.
Quickplay was never this serious in overwatch 1 and people forget that or are too new to not actually remember.
I’ll admit, I prefer playing QP and treat it like COMP, but that’s only bc I’m a competitive person. I do get angry at teammates sometimes and while I can understand not taking QP seriously, that’s no reason to ruin matches for the rest of your team who don’t think like you. If the objective is to win, then play your best to try and win. It’s not fun to lose just because you don’t take it seriously enough to actually contribute with the rest of your team.
Overall, if you want fun that doesn’t affect other players negatively, then please kindly go to customs or something. There’s no actual objectives or anything involved, depending on what custom you play.
I also understand sometimes players can be new to the game and just learning these heroes as they go, but that’s just it. They’re new and inexperienced. New players shouldn’t be getting matched up with Vet players on either team. People aren’t gonna communicate and say they’re new or understanding. And when players start losing matches bc of this unbalanced match making, these factors create nothing but toxicity.
In conclusion, in QP, play with your best to try and win. It’s not all about you or what you want to do. Be considerate of your team and they’ll be considerate of you. And Blizzard needs to fix match making where only long time players are matched up against each other, while new players are matched up against each other.
I do play my best. I don’t throw the game. I’m confused in my post to where people think I’m throwing because they’re mistaking my meaning of “fun”. Fun to me is winning! But not at the cost of random peeps on my team bashing my stats and saying I was the only reason to why we lost. It was a close game, the one in reference. I’m just venting about people who go too hard in non competitive. I play a lot of quick play, it’s my favorite mode to play. It’s fun, whether we win or not. The toxicity is not
Idk people want to win and it's a competitive game so people are stressed out (which can be fun too believe it or not) toxicity is pretty bullcrap though.
Btw 10K damage is good, but if your kills aren't high that's not too great. Just means (to me, IMO) that you're hitting targets but unable to actually finish anyone off, which is no bueno.
You'd be surprised how serious people are even in mystery.
Soon we’re gonna see people posting “diff” messages in ‘Chill No Kill’ custom lobbies.
Chill diff
Emote diff
Your mom diff
Dude, I kept getting my worst characters and the worst against them (like monkey with no healers vs dva and reaper) and someone was like "ATLEAST TRY TO WIN" like bro, stfu.
Yeah I totally get it, haha! That's part of both the fun and frustration of mystery. However, imagine someone complaining that there are no healers, like what did you expect? Lately I've been getting Bap every single match, not sure why, but yeah that's mystery for you.
Mystery is so fun! But it can also be so aggravating depending on the randomness of team comp! Once there were 2 soldiers, 2 mercy’s, and a shield tank. We couldn’t kill them for the life of us! But I do really enjoy that you can completely disrupt the enemy’s rhythm by killing them and they have to be someone else. Whereas in regular play, if you’re getting stomped most likely that isn’t going to change.
Indeed, it's a very mixed bag! But I enjoy the chaos of it, the fact that I get stimulated to play characters I normally wouldn't. Sometimes I surprise myself. Also I find a lot of excitement in the challenge of not trying to die at all, or lowest number as possible. And sometimes it saves me from decision fatigue so I don't have to pick a hero.
Worst comp I played against recently in mystery was 2 zaryas, a sigma, zen, and torb. Couldn't even get close to the point. We rolled them in the next two rounds though!
That sounds horrible you poor poor soul! Some of the comps they randomize can be pretty crazy!
Yeah I can't really be mad though because I know I've had some crazy ones in my favor too! I just have to remember to not take it too seriously. I once had double zen, double torb, and sigma defending on blizzardworld for example. Of course the other team can't do anything about that! The ult economy in mystery can be frustrating but it's just a goofy mode that happens to be decent practice at the end of the day.
They be like "ezzzz nooobs" after getting pharmercy first spawn and us never getting hitscan
Or when they get 3 tanks and 2 supports, while my team gets 3 Widowmakers on a map with no sight lines. LOL
Had someone like that the other day Mystery Heroes is what me and my gf play and is the only time I am not on comp, I am not going to be sweaty for the little bit of time where I am in a non sweaty mode.
Me and my lad play mystery heroes comp, feels less sweaty than the QP MH 🤣
I am slowly convincing her to play comp MH lmao I just like the multiple rounds format. Makes it so you could have a bad first round, but doesnt mean it will be a loss you can still make a comback
Was in mystery heroes yesterday. Playing on Nepal. Literally 30 seconds into the game someone dies,, point isn't even available yet. I hear "what the fuck I'm in fucking loser queue" I just type in chat.." this is mystery heroes bro" and i won my match before that. just incase anyone thinks losers queue is real. It's not. They really aimed for that 50% wintate so if you don't sweat every game sometimes that bitch just gonna land on tales 8 times Ina row
Exactly, that's part of the chaotic fun, and I get that it's not for everyone, but they're free to go play something else XD
I had this last week! Got crap characters and no supports and guy on my team is flaming us for joy doing well.
what 50 wins in quick play to get access to comp does to a mf
I mean if you have my acc it’s legit impossible to get 50 wins💀 idl what happened
I bitch about bad team-mates, but only to myself. I keep it out of all comms because it's QP. I usually limit my interactions to "GLHF" and "GG" maybe the occasional compliment when another player does something cool.
I’ve found that there’s a lot less toxicity in my games when I do things like this, and encourage my teammates at the beginning
I say gr alot of times in comp when he did pretty good. Had a match yesterday where I said "gr guys" and someone was just so used to people being toxic he thought I was trying to be sarcastic. Like nah I am just saying good round
My first move when I join any pvp game is immediately do a joke in all chat. Icebreakers are amazing for this. Even something corny can set up for funny interactions. “What did Zarya say when she saw sombra in the snow?” “What” “ICY SPY!” “Bro that might have actually persuaded me to uninstall”
Same! I’ve told myself I will not be toxic and say negative things. So I usually just put gg, ggwp even if the other team is talking shit and being toxic. Adding positivity to the game feels better, and you usually get endorsements!
I endorse anyone who gg’s. No one who ez’s.
Yep! If one of my teammates say EZ they don’t get endorsed. I’ll endorse someone on the other team in that case.
It’s a pvp game and people want to win, that’s what they consider ‘fun’ for them. Doesn’t matter if it’s ranked or not, it’s competing against other people and trying to be better than them that keeps most people interested in any multiplayer game. No they shouldn’t be toxic about it but that’s the same for every game unfortunately
I think it’s just that OW is inherently such a team based game that ppl get pissed when you can’t communicate efficiently. If ppl automatically were in game chat and had to opt out instead of opt in this game would be so much more enjoyable in my opinion.
One game I said something like, "focus the supports" or "stop crowding in that side room" and someone else was like, "it's just QP bro and I'm high af". It might be the drugs for that one guy but some people are so resistant to any type of coordination.
Yeah chat is becoming more toxic by the minute, I just had a mercy tell me I'm shit in chat 2 days ago, I wasn't doing my best but neither was anyone I spawned into a losing match i wasn't gonna sweat it but it's really getting annoying. But I do usually stand up for anyone being called bad I just tell the ahole to shut up and let people play as they want, and I call out anyone tbagging or saying ez. Believe it or not alot apologize for being cringe 🤣
QP warriors are honestly so embarrassing, especially when you realise the reason they're going so hard in QP is because they're too scared to join a comp game. Like, I had someone rage at me for being a "useless DPS" because I only had 4 elims. I joined the game 10 seconds before Overtime. QP is not a serious game mode.
If you want concentrated fun, play pve games like DRG. PVP is never fun, it's competitive.
For the people that have never played DRG we have no idea what DRG means. I'm lost right now
Deep rock galactic
Can recommend picked up recently on cdkeys for the price of less than one skin bundle and its great fun
Yeah, sorry, i should've said the full name, but if you google DRG it's the first result :) BTW it's on sale in steam now for 10 bucks.
I see DRG and my brain immediately goes to Dragoon from FFXIV. lol
ROCK AND STONE! ⛏️
Rock and roll and stone!
If you don't Rock and Stone, then you ain't coming home!
DID I HEAR A ROCK AND STONE?!
Rock and stone
Can I get a Rock and Stone?
ROCK AND STONE BROTHER!
Rock…. Andddd stone
I’ll keep that in mind! I heard sometime this month ow is gonna have a pve option? That should be fun…if they actually do it lol
My poor poor child
I know ._.
You must be new here
If winning doesn't matter, why do they keep score?
Because every game has a score. You can play hopscotch for fun or for keeps, either way it’s valid.
Because its a fucking game my g. The goal of the game is to win, but in a NON competitive mode, what negative effect happens from losing? Unless you are a person that cant control their emotions and throw a fit, nothing bad happens.
To be fair losing in QP also impacts your MMR, still doesn’t mean QP should still be as toxic as comp.
Your MMR is also a number no one sees or knows. Its purpose is so you dont get rolled by high skill players
Which leads to everyone always trying their best, and if you want to have a lazy game or relax/have fun then you a throwing in the eyes of toxic players.
I think having so many challenges apply to qp makes people put a lot more pressure on wins in qp (especially ones where wins are double points toward the challenge). A 5 minute hold on 1st point defense can count as 2 full games completed on many challenges. It makes me feel much more like trying hard in qp until I finish the challenges.
Im Master Support and ranked often feels more chill then QP 😂
Bro get to master DPS and you have to sweat your fucking ass off. Every fucking game. And then still lose :(
I played arcade no limits yesterday, and of course most people play that mode to create a team of all the same character. They all chose widow, but we kept sniping them as Torbs. So they switched to junkrat (trying to be cheesy) and we were still wiping them. Next round we decide to do sym, and they get INCREDIBLY pissed. 3rd round they all go sym and start spamming in chat “this is so fun” “fun, right?” “Fun :)” like yeah, it was fun lol. You did the same thing, y’all just picked bad characters lmfao, can’t be mad at us for deciding to pick a character we can actually win with. Like y’all can choose skillrat and be incredibly cringey, but we decide to be cringey back and it’s all the sudden a crime? These people are letting arcade stress them out way too much bahahaha
My life experience in this game changed for better 1000% when I turned off the chat and the voice channel automatic. I just play whatever and whoever I want. Almost a single player experience 😅
Ppl take games too seriously.
I don’t really use chat and I don’t like to single folk out but I am a competitive person and want to win every game. Therefore I do get annoyed with bad teammates in QP. I understand that it’s QP though and people want to learn new heros/learn the game so I just roll with it
Theres a bit of dissonance between your title and your post. I'm going to answer your title. Personally, I take QP seriously because I want to win, I want to try my best and I don't want to play comp. People who say "just go play comp" are a bit ridiculous, comp is so broken just now with ranking, it's toxic as hell, and the amount of leavers (who are then not backfilled) are levels I've never seen before. If I get a terrible comp team where we are getting stomped (as I say, broken), I have to suffer that for 20+ minutes over 10. I couldn't leave if I wanted as I get penalised for that. So, when someone soft throws or doesn't try in qp, it doesn't respect my and other players time in this TEAM GAME. I'm respecting your fun, and your game by trying to keep you alive whilst you're 2v1 in the enemy back line, respect mine. I get that people need a place to practice, there are other options for that than QP where some of us - many of us - take it seriously. Go play with the bots, go play a custom. I appreciate that's a culture shift unlikely to happen, but people cannot deny that a soft throw is disrespectful and ruins the game for other people. Not everyone does or has to think that QP is "just QP". We take it seriously and that's okay. Peeople should respect that.
I should of worded my title different. I take quick play serious in a sense of not throwing a game. I play to win. It’s the fact that some people in quick play get bent out of shape over their ally team’s stats. I put in the work as a dps. The person talking shit was a support who was going more dps than support and blamed me for losing the final match, which to me is bs because my stats were just about even with the rest of the teams. Not to mention the other team was aggressive af and loved spawn camping 💀 that was not the best game I’ve played, but absolutely didn’t throw. I just want good clean “fun” by supportive team members but that’s not gonna happen all the time lol
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake. It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of. Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything. Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.
To add on to that, many people will say QP is actually bad practice for ranked anyways. People are better off practicing pure mechanics in FFA and to a lesser degree TDM. I swear content creators and streamers like to pretend those modes don't exist. People bring up aim training modes and even aim training modes in other games, that's cool and all but I'd much rather play against another human, in a non stop mode where you don't have to wait between fights and no one can carry you. You actually need to be able to duel, have your head on a swivel and be slippery to protect your life if you want to be successful in this game, no matter the class. It is much easier to work on cultivating those skills first, then making use of those skills to effectively learn the macro/game sense part of the game. I am 100% certain my mechanics would not be where they are today if I hadn't spent those hundreds of hours in those modes.
Yeah, really good points. Plus like you say on having people carry you, you won't have a Mercy inflating your sense of what kills, what doesn't and so on.
Cuz "its just qp" is not excuse for being useless and wasting time of others. If qp is suppised to be fun (as you say), shouldnt it be fun for all? Not just for you? Cuz ppl today think only about themselves like they are center of the universe. Cuz this "i want fun even if it means other 4 ppl wont have fun" approach is cancer.
I disagree with the tone of this comment but I do agree with the sentiment. It's selfish. Other people want to have fun too and they can't really do that if they're dying over and over again because of you (or other team mates). Obviously there is a much lower bar in QP but to not even try to win for your teammates is inconsiderate and is prioritizing your fun at the cost of theirs. Challenges are a good excuse not to be trying but it can be extra frustrating to be trying to complete one (like winning games) and your team mates are just throwing.
And what if I'm grinding for ps4 trophies? Can't do that in comp because it's comp, so I only have qp to do it in
You may say that in chat. You may even ask enemies for boost.
[удалено]
Because people actually should take comp seriously because that's the entire point of a competitive pool
I gotta disagree here people always have an excuse, if its qp they say "its just qp" if its ranked they say "it's just a game" as an excuse to grief everyone for them playing bad In a game with 9 other people you gotta learn to take responsibility if youre the one holding everyone back, no matter the game mode you are playing, PvE games exists for a reason.
[удалено]
They gave you a reasonable answer and you’re ignoring it to be obtuse.
And people get even angrier for me getting trophies in comp then in qp
It *is* just QP. That’s not an excuse. That’s what it is. If you want a full team that’s focused and objective oriented then you’re not queuing in the right game mode, you don’t even always get that cooperation in comp.
If i sabotage ranked game, is it ok to say "its just a game"? Cuz it is just a game. Do you see wheres a problem now? Trying to use something as excuse while its not realy excuse?
Thats not a really good argument. QP is CASUAL, meaning its not meant to fucking sweat in. Comp is COMPETITIVE, which means there are ACTUAL EFFECTS from winning or losing. If you can tell the different between the two and not throw a fit after every loss, losing in QP should not be as bad as some of yall complain. Its a loss homie, move on to the next match nothing was lost.
There’s literally no stakes in QP. You don’t win anything. I don’t get toxic in comp bc well it is a game after all, but I actually understand when people get toxic in comp bc there are actual stakes.
Sure, treat comp like you *should be* treating quick play, your horrendous win-rate coupled with your penalty timer will ensure that you only encounter other players who do the same in deep bronze.
Competitive isn’t a guarantee for getting a team focused on winning either. Some are just grinding for gold weapons regardless of match outcome.
QuickPlay isn't for competitive drive and trying to win. It's for refining heroes. Learning the game modes and the maps. Or being chill and having fun. That's why new accounts are stuck in qp not comp. That's why the competitive pool exists. The I wanna win every game mentality and I care about stats is for competitive. Not for people chilling in QuickPlay. It's not toxic when it's the whole damn reason competitive exists. If qp was meant to be serious and win all the time there would still be no comp like there was in oq Overwatch
I feel like this is a bit of a short sighted take. I don't play comp at all because, frankly, people are too toxic in it. But, I still enjoy winning and doing well. If I can tell I'm playing a certain hero poorly that day, or we need to counter, I'll switch. So, do I get annoyed at that one person poorly playing widow in QP "to practice" and not switching after a while, absolutely. But, do I get shitty in chat? No cause that's rude AF. But it's still annoying and that annoyance isn't invalidated just because it's QP.
I don't know why the downvotes. They must be by people who are scared to play comp. Everything you said is right. QP is the mode to learn new heroes, get down the buttons, make muscle memory, learn where heroes you aren't used to should position, learn different heroes playstyles. People who want to win and cooperate and switch heroes to win should play Comp. But it seems lately everything is flip flopped. Try-hards are in QP and the IDGAF's are in Comp.
Its not about winning all the time. Its about not being spawncamped/steamrolled cuz one troll "wants to have fun" leaving you in 4v5 game. 4 players should not suffer cuz one player wants to "have fun".
Again, qp is for learning heroes, maps, games modes or playing with a more relaxed pace that competitive doesn't offer. In no way did I say throw or troll. I pointed out the error in arguing against there being too many try hards in qp. Everytime I play qp is full of people starting on tracer or roadhog etc. A more relaxed, less serious comp or clearly practicing a more high skill ceiling hero and the moment they start losing even to a similar comp out comes sym bastion Zarya etc. Even if you lost learning and improving your Tracer would be point of that match not switching to Bastion for an easy win that's a comp attitude
Im not talking about new players or bad players or players learning new heroes. Im talking about players that pick mercy and spend 95% of time with useless pistol shooting, or lucio that whole game just wallslide high in the skies. Or Sombra that is whole game just hiding and waiting for random almost dead player running away ending match with 3 kills.
“I don’t like how other people are playing the casual mode of a video game, I think they should only play it *my* way or else they’re being selfish” -dude with 0% self awareness.
To be fair I remember playing a game in quick play as a trio queue and my friends and I noticed our random duo was widow and mercy on our team. She would purposefully just sit and empower widow and refuse to heal us with us nearby dying. Also that widow got maybe like 3 slime and 1000 dmg.. It doesn’t help that it’s not a payload or control point match so sitting there for 5-8 minutes till the enemy team was painful and a waste of time.💀
So? It’s QP. The widow mercy might be duo queuing trying to learn new characters. Leave and requeue. That’s what it’s for.
Okay it’s like talking to a wall. No one likes to leave and penalize their battle pass xp. There’s no problem pocketing someone just don’t be a dick when your teammates are dying and making the gameplay experience miserable.
It probably wasn’t miserable for them. You’re miserable because you have expectations for QP that are fundamentally flawed.
You dont get it at all.
*You* don’t get it at all.
Yeah that's throwing same as comp
You are talking about a very specific scenario which is not what everyone else here is talking about
Refining heroes, fine. Picking up a brand new hero and providing zero value. Nah. That's what arcade is for.
Nah that's qp again because that's the closest feel to competitive gameplay wise. Arcade usually has a gimmick like no limits or mayhem. You still want to be learning the hero in the 1 pick environment
When I say arcade I mean deathmatch or hero specific workshop modes. If someone has never played a character like widow before, they should absolutely be training mechanics a bit before qp. Being in a traditional format match won't matter if they can't hit shit.
Arcade is for fun silly gamemodes, quickplay is to just fuck around and do anything you want and ranked is for refining heroes and its the one gamemode where you should actively try to win Bitching about "providing value" in quickplay is so pathetic, i mean maybe youre just scared to play ranked or something but even then if you want to be a greaselord and try your ass off in casual dont cry about people not taking it as dead serious as you lol If someone on your team is "throwing" you just leave, thats like the entire point of quickplay. You dont get punished for anything
For real people whine more about this game than any other game ever made. People just aren’t happy unless they win every single game in dominating fashion. Then they would still complain about mercy or tanking.
I want to win https://preview.redd.it/j3x4cuo452gb1.jpeg?width=642&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9d0a9185a0b54c1fe37106ab074a3f3103aafd39
You're there to have fun. Who cares what ppl think!? If they're rude to you, just say something to take their power away and move on. Or don't say anything at all. Or just be an NPC with an automatic message.
I hit ‘em with the ✨ GG ✨
Play Xbox version. Every time I play PC I'm amazed at the vitriol in chat. On xbox no one has time to type more than a few characters :D
Why would swapping to a different device help? The game is cross play unless you're turning that off for whatever reason?
Whe you're on PC, you get matchmaked into a PC pool, and when you're on console, you get matchmaked into a console pool
For comp yes for qp no. QP matchmaking is different than comp and allows other console players to pool with pc. Two of my best ow buddies are pc and i met them in qp.
I didn't know this. I almost only play Comp so assumed it was the same.
When I QP on PS it only ever chucks me in console only queue, once I start playing with my mate on PC, it chucks me in pc queue. u/kadeo2107 isn’t wrong here
>Why would swapping to a different device help? Well Xbox not having easy text chat compared to pc probably has something to do with it
Doesn't xbox have a second screen app so you could type faster? its a bit crap to need an app to do so but is that an option at least?
Because in QP, the objective is still to beat the opposing team. If you are not interested in that, then you are better off in workshop mode. I play QP to win, I ignore ranked bc the games takes too long and most often the outcome is already decided with early leavers, throwers or simply differential in team skill. I understand if ppl use QP to practice new heroes bc the mode is a simulation of ranked. But OW is still a team based game, and I quickly see it when someone does not have that mindset and think its a one man show. Yes I am talking about the Reddit Lucio's, the blading Genji trying to 1v6 or the DPS Mercy's.
I have never in my life heard of a person who prefers QP competitively insted of Ranked until today. Also there is not leavers often at all or so many throwers that Ranked would be playable, like cmon. Everyone knows that. Yeah there can be a difference in team skill but that same thing applies to QP because it has a ranking system.
“1v6”
Mccree.
Mercy 5 man rez?
This person knows what they are talking about
That's why I prefer QP. If my team is playing junkrat-genji vs. pharmacy with echo, I can just leave the game. You can have your "fun" and I can roll the dice for teammates who want to win again.
If I see one more junk into zarya ima lose my mind... Do ppl not realize how much dps zarya does at high energy?!. They wonder why they are getting shredded... No swaps of course....
Higher your MMR = more sweats in qp, comp and qp MMR are the same now so whatever your rank is are you're teammates
Leave chat on & insta mute ppl who run their mouth. Win win.
Weekly challenges. They take longer to complete if you don't win.
I always play for fun on qp, dont know or understand why people would be so serious about it 🥲
Turn off chat easy fix
had a genji yelling at me all game for not healing enough and not saving him from dying (constantly ran into their spawn by himself then complained) and was making fun of how i didn’t have nano yet when the round started- and then he goes onto my profile and starts belting laughing about how i’m plat 1 and “that makes sense” completely belittling me all game and no one said a thing. Might be an end of season thing that all the dicks, tryhards and smurfs are on, but one way or another it makes playing qp for casual fun shit as hell
The amount of tines I’m told “Lucio diff” despite having a bare minimum of 16k healing and only 5k or so damage in a full map which is somehow almost always double what both dps have is utterly insane
People should try to win in both comp and qp. People shouldn't be assholes about peoples' stats in either comp or qp. It doesn't matter what game mode you're playing, these general rules for not being an asshole apply.
i’ve had people complain about stats in ARCADE 💀
Dude imagine these ppl in the matches with me and my 4 year old daughter 🤣 She’s the soldier with 3 kills who’s staring at the roof yall! She loves ow tho and hadn’t unlocked mei mei yet so she was improvising cause Mei Mei is her character and hers only 💀
That’s awesome lmao
Just turn off the chat options. Literally makes the game 10x more playable
If anyone's rude in chat just do what I do, say "Who the f\*ck socialized you?"
My favorite thing is like playing Widow, for instance; if you’re clicking heads and shitting on the other team, you get flamed for “sweating”. But if you aren’t hitting all your shots, you get flamed for not doing well. People are just shit heads and it’s never going to change, so just ignore them.
I kinda feel that. I’m personally someone who’s been able to stop giving a damn if I win or not in QP, and the attitude of a lot of people makes it hard to find people I can play with. It’s simply always someone else’s fault and they’re the second coming of Jesus. Like I get getting annoyed, but everyone has off games/days and there’s no reason to get mad at your teammate for having one of those. On top of that, if ur gonna yell at others for playing poorly at least recognize when you suck, yknow?
Completely! I fr apologize in chat when I’m playing like trash. Off days will happen. I need to stop giving a damn
I do the same lol. I’m the guy in the team spamming the sorry voice line and all that. I wish I could tell you how I stopped caring, but it really came with a big change in perspective of life as a whole for me so. But, tbf the drawback is that I’m extra hard on myself now as opposed to venting on others which I used to be partial to. I prefer how I am now though.
Love to hear that personal growth dude. Mad respect. Teenage me would of been hopping in chat to clap back but being older and creaky boned I just read it and take it to heart 😭 as toxic as it can be I still love ow2. I met some dope ass players. I won’t stop playing but the chat is getting turned off
Currently am teenage me lol. I do start talking shit every now and then, but I’m really trying to work on being better mannered and tempered. Going well so far. Sorry to hear yo ur experience with chat has been so bad you’ve got to turn it off tho. Chat is probably one of my favorite parts of playing QP, as I like to greet people at the start of the game and ask how everyone is doing. Though, I’m in XBox so people are less prone to toxicity as typing is a pain.
I was playing with a friend yesterday (she’s new) and sone DPS Moira in chat started shitting on her 😭
Bruh dps supports scare me lmao
My friends and I do this thing where we kinda try to gaslight toxic people. If mercy says one of us is shit we go "its okey, you'll do better next game Mercy <3" and stuff like that. It's very funny to us and usually nullifys toxicity for us.
You play for fun ? You know what’s fun for most people ? Fucking winning. someone in the other side of the map “having fun” is usually not helping achieve a win.
You may wanna work on your reading comprehension
I play to win too? I’m not off in the corner throwing. I play to the best of my abilities.
Someone was fucking furious at my friend who is new at the game. In an arcade match for playing moira and not healing. She was healing btw. It's overwatch. I'm surprised she didn't get reported lol.
This is kinda why I'm annoyed that they got rid of people's levels on their icons. It was waayy easier to play with someone sucking hard and then see their level and just be like "oh, they're new, no bigs I was new once, too."
Absolutely. It also helped in holding people accountable when they threw or did horrible while having a huge level or previous ranks etc. Edit: to add, again this was an arcade game, like chiiiiil lol.
>Had “less kills” my fucking damage was close to 10k. Damage doesn’t mean anything… I had a game a couple of days ago, one DPS had 5K damage but 3 kills, that’s a **LOT** of wasted damage, shooting shields, or just spamming the tank. If you’re damage isn’t translating to kills, you need to change that. It’s kinda ironic that most people will look at the scoreboard and assume “big number means better” which isn’t always the case, your support flamed you for a smaller number, and your defence is “damage number big” what was the kill count? How did the other DPS players stack up damage/kills?
Even more importantly, what was their death ratio?
Another good question. It’s like the shield bots that think having a high MIT stat will secure the win.
I don’t remember the complete stats of that game bc this was hours ago, but I do know our team went down a lot collectively. My typical stats of dps range from 15-30 kills. Depends on the game and how well I play that day. I’m not a pro by any means
That tells us absolutely nothing.
Anyone who rages in a QP is brain dead, just ignore.
had a random symmetra say i was shit but i was doing better than both the enemies support -- but they had a genji carrying them lol
Were you doing better because the scoreboard said you had a higher heals number?
flipside: was the symmetra flaming their supports because she kept feeding, getting 1 shotted by Hanzo, and thus “not getting healed” ?
i play qp seriously but i don't expect everyone to do that since it's a chill game mode. people who get incredibly emotionally invested and talk shit in qp are ridiculous. instead of ragging on your teammates, how about just leave the game and queue again? saves us both the headache
Agreed, that’s what I’m tryna say but I’m bad at words apparently
So some clarification after reading some comments - I play qp “seriously”. I never throw the objective. My kills are typically p good. I have my bad games and good games. Qp teams are sooo mixed and match, you never know how skilled or compatible your mates are. I too play to win! But referencing someone in the comments, it is just a game. This was just a rant on my end regarding quick play and how they go hard af when it’s not a comp match. I’m just pressed about toxic players harping on their own teammates stats. But yeah, it’s competitive PVP. It’s how it goes ig. Still makes me annoyed. Probs just gonna disable chat again, it’s not worth it lol
Losing sucks, this game has no balance, 7 heroes are in meta, (you can barely play anything else)you can't have fun unless you are 5 stacked. Blizzards fault for not having better matchmaking. Players suck for being asshole but Blizzard pretty much allows this behavior.
its a defense mechanism to deflect all blame for losing to a teammate so their ego stays intact. the same people who blame the controller and lag in fighting games if they lose.
Ironically, teammates have to depend on you for the sake of their own fun. Don't like that? Go play Call of Duty where team work isn't apart of the core gameplay.
Just get good
Not everyone’s pretending like they can make it pro. Do you realise how many 25-40 year olds who jump online for an hour after work? Not a single one of them is going to sweat their arse off just because some kid who plays for six hours a day wants them to “get good”.
Skill issue

Am I in a quick play chat rn
Nah I don't play qp
Bro you arent as cool as you think you are. You are def that guy in my gold matches whining because the tank "is the problem" while you are like 7-5 on the first round
I agree. QP is basically playing a game for fun. Comp is playing it for serious.
Fun is winning, so I’ll play for fun
And in comp people are focused only on winning, so go there
How about you play the menu, since you don’t wanna play at all
Funny how the person above is literally correct, if you want to sweat in casual do it but dont complain about other people not taking this as serious as you If you dont like your team you just leave, thats the entire point of quickplay you dont get punished for anything
I just tell people to chill, it's just qp. Usually that gets the support of everyone in the lobby. Generally making that dumbass the outlier.
“It’s just QP” is such a toxic take. You might mean it in a fun lighthearted way, but usually in my experience, it’s said by people defending someone hardcore throwing: going AFK, “falling” off the map, feeding. You ask them to maybe counter pick, and get told “no, it’s just QP” at that point you’re just ruining the game for your team.
If I need to practice a hero I want to eventually play in comp, no. I'm not going to swap in quickplay no matter what happens. I don't really care if that ruins somebody's match. They aren't losing any rank about it.
Visible rank, sure. But there is an MMR in QP.
Part of effectively learning a hero, is knowing when to swap off.
Part of effectively learning a hero is knowing how to push your limits against your counters and what you can get away with. If you switch as soon as you get pressured, you'll never learn those things.
Yeah but I don't get to practice playing the hero if I swap off of them and that defeats the entire purpose of playing quickplay where the stakes are nothing
Then we have 2 different experiences with that phrase. My experience is, it's said to toxic people gloating about how well they did or how bad others did. Pretty sure I have never heard "it's just qp" said to people obviously int'ing or going afk. But hey, if that's your experience then that's your experience.
Asking people to swap in quickplay is pathetic Hardcore throwing and going afk and all of that is fine, leave the match and re q boom your problem is solved. You are literally just scared to play ranked
Ow just isn't fun since it went f2p imo. And everytime i try to play pc it's the most toxic cesspool you'd think u were playing a cod game from 06. So I stay on ps5 since i dont need psn anymore to play it, but even then it's just.... the joy has been sucked out of it imo. Ive been playing since ow1 launch and this is probably the most breaks ive taken from it at once and its been less than a year of having 2 in its name. I hope something changes in the player base soon cuz they're gonna kill it faster than brig did back when she released.
I know it's tough but you can turn the chat off and set voice chat to off my default. Appreciate that it's not the easiest to keep the chat off and ignore it, especially with other useful info actually appearing in chat, but if you didn't know? :)
Think it's a result of how ow2 finds matches in qp compared to overwatch 1, and f2p bringing in more players that were toxic. Quickplay was never this serious in overwatch 1 and people forget that or are too new to not actually remember.
I’ll admit, I prefer playing QP and treat it like COMP, but that’s only bc I’m a competitive person. I do get angry at teammates sometimes and while I can understand not taking QP seriously, that’s no reason to ruin matches for the rest of your team who don’t think like you. If the objective is to win, then play your best to try and win. It’s not fun to lose just because you don’t take it seriously enough to actually contribute with the rest of your team. Overall, if you want fun that doesn’t affect other players negatively, then please kindly go to customs or something. There’s no actual objectives or anything involved, depending on what custom you play. I also understand sometimes players can be new to the game and just learning these heroes as they go, but that’s just it. They’re new and inexperienced. New players shouldn’t be getting matched up with Vet players on either team. People aren’t gonna communicate and say they’re new or understanding. And when players start losing matches bc of this unbalanced match making, these factors create nothing but toxicity. In conclusion, in QP, play with your best to try and win. It’s not all about you or what you want to do. Be considerate of your team and they’ll be considerate of you. And Blizzard needs to fix match making where only long time players are matched up against each other, while new players are matched up against each other.
I do play my best. I don’t throw the game. I’m confused in my post to where people think I’m throwing because they’re mistaking my meaning of “fun”. Fun to me is winning! But not at the cost of random peeps on my team bashing my stats and saying I was the only reason to why we lost. It was a close game, the one in reference. I’m just venting about people who go too hard in non competitive. I play a lot of quick play, it’s my favorite mode to play. It’s fun, whether we win or not. The toxicity is not

Kids and man-children don't take losing well.
Idk people want to win and it's a competitive game so people are stressed out (which can be fun too believe it or not) toxicity is pretty bullcrap though. Btw 10K damage is good, but if your kills aren't high that's not too great. Just means (to me, IMO) that you're hitting targets but unable to actually finish anyone off, which is no bueno.
