Add an unranked mode

General Discussion
1

An unranked mode to bridge the gap between quickplay and competitive, for people who want to play with serious teams but don’t like the stress/toxicity that’s inherent of competitive. It’d use your competitive MMR/SR for matchmaking and have the same rule enforcement as competitive, but with no SR gain or loss. You could maybe add reduced comp point gains to incentivize winning, and to add an alternative way to get golden guns. This way, people who want to just mess around/play meme comps/spout “it’s just qp bro xd” at anyone that actually tries to win can do so in quickplay, and people who want to play seriously without the stress of competitive or practice in a serious environment before entering competitive have a place to do so.

im a really big fan of this post cause i gave up competitive many seasons ago. We really need an alternative way to get golden weapons and less toxicity

Consider me signed on.

I don’t even care about the Golden Guns I just want a mode that’s not as dead serious as comp but not “Target Practice” mode for Hanzo/Widow/Genji/Tracer that QP has become.

And I don’t blame those players that want to practice in QP which I why an Unranked mode would be a good way to make more of the player base happy.

If you want an example of how well unranked mode works, check out ranked in the offseason. It’s pretty random since people aren’t concerned about SR there.

That’s because it’s only for a couple days, so people see it as a free space to mess around in. If it were a dedicated mode with actual rule enforcement, I think people would respect it since they still have a place to mess around in (quickplay).

and thats need to be a feature in competitive. No losing SR when you lose a game. If you are a good player you dont deserve that punishment

Wait how does that work? You just fail upwards?

instead of losing you dont gain SR
every win you gain SR. why lose SR when you lose a game?

Yeah no. We don’t need the game boosting EVERYONE based on how long they play.

but thats the solution to toxicity. I know its dumb but its the only way. With this feature the game becomes more fun

11

you think that your rank is fair?

12

So completely destroy SR? Then what would be the point of playing that mode?

Ranked mode has it’s problems, but the solutions should be putting it in a place where it reflects your performance in game.

dude you are not understanding the point.
WIN = gain SR
LOSS = not winning or lose SR
in this way its more safer and fun

I think you just need a mode where you’re not looking at a number then.

Support this idea and I was crying out for this since last year.

It’s really frustrating that every game is filled in QP with people who don’t give a damn about winning and trying, and are only there to instapick a Hanzo or Widow or Genji to practice the mechanics.
These people should get their own playground (but I’m still not sure why these people are not in arcade), and QP should be the game mode for people who don’t want to play competitive, but still care about playing the game as intended.

I would like a mode where i can get comp points without worrying about my current comp rank. I only have 4 golden weapons out of the current 27 heroes. :frowning:

what do you mean by “serious teams” ?
People messing around in qp not playing the objective or does being not serious also include not caring for the team comp and simply playing what ever you feel like (but srsly trying to win with that hero) ?

I wouldn’t really worry about farming gold guns. You’d have to do this as a job to keep up with the hero releases.
