Flexing is incredibly unrewarding

If you flex 20 games every day over the course of a season, you get a grand total of 19.62 battle pass levels (including XP from quests). Not that those levels really matter, at most that will give you one title and in many cases literally nothing. If you only go to 80, you’re probably only like 4 levels ahead of non-flex players.

Under the old system, you would get 63 lootboxes, 29,925 credits, and multiple thousands of priority passes. Maybe if we want queue times to stay as they are, or improve in the future, we should make it actually rewarding and appealing to use.

You mean… play support?

I just take what I can get. I need to hit 79 by the end of the season and that 500 experience every other day will add up… I guess.

Flexing for 100 xp means you’re approximately queueing for 20% more xp no?

They’re testing how little they can get away with. My guess is, when the queue times start going up across all ranks and regions, they will start ramping up the rewards for flexing.

Nah, you get way more than 500 XP per match.

The biggest issue is that it’s just battle pass XP. It gives next to nothing for free players and everyone will stop caring after they’re done with the battle pass. I don’t think Blizzard really cares though.

They could try offering us some solace for tired feet.

My typical flex experience based upon role…

Tank: at least ome of my damage players is going to feed and supports are hit or miss.

Damage: 99% chance of my supports also being damage and tank is a mixed bag…

Support: my tank might as well be named “leeroy jenkins” and at least one damage will be feeding

I only flexed in OW2 up until my last session where I said f it and just picked tank/dps cuz flex = support (at least it does now, wasn’t like that week 1). Think I’m gonna keep doing it, too.

Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy support but I’d like to play other roles too. So flex/support has lost another player :upside_down_face:

Can guarantee I’d continue to flex- I mean support - if there was an actual reward attached to it. Not garbage Exp towards a free BP that has nothing worth earning.

Cough up those coins, Blizz.
