Is there some sort of connection between between plat+ border and fully tryharding? I wondered all the time, because whenever I queue qp to chill and get some large stack, its full gold-dia borders that go full tryhard / hard pockets / hard metas / bastion (bastion isnt tryhard but idk why they really like bastion lol).
I mean, I know qp is for every sort of playstyle, but why do high borders in particular tryhard this much? Any answers from u guys in here are much appreciated, just wondered.
What’s wrong with tryharding?
Honestly I feel most people don’t try their best in QP and just mainly mess about and if anyone dares say “please don’t do X” they will respond with “ITS JUST QP BRO”
Even when playing QP, I play to win the match. I am not there to mess around and lose matches. Now mind you, I am only a two-three star Silver border but do you play QP to lose?
just ruins the fun for some people tbh, plus you’d get sweaty too, i dont like having sweat on my body so thats why i dont tryhard
I asked why, didnt say “dont”
Why get so defensive?
I can’t speak for all high level borders, but as a 5-star diamond border player who has been playing since the game’s release, I happen to have a large network of friends that I have been playing with for quite some time, hence the full party of high level borders. I’m sick of comp and all its shenanigans, and not all of us can queue together. We know how to play the game, our heroes, the counters, the strats. We want to play a decently good game together, without all the work (or people) needed for forming scrim matches, and play the game at least semi-correctly, and without the worry of SR hanging over our heads. QP games are shorter, and if there is an issue with the other team or one of our teammates is having connection issues or computer issues, we don’t have to suffer through the extended matches that comp games are made of.
If anything, if you think encountering full teams of veteran players is so bad, then perhaps you should blame the matchmaker, and not the players.
I don’t do comp so I try in qp classic
it does make lots of people angry. made a couple 4 stacks quit last week
i mean, when i load up quickplay, i’m playing to win the match. I’m not gonna go easy on my enemies or intentionally make mistakes to allow them to win.
If doomfist is screwing my ana’s behind over and over again, i will switch to brigette to make sure she gets to play the game.
If pharah is making it impossible for my team to exit spawn then i will switch to widow or ashe sĂł that we can play the game.
if me wanting to actually play the game is tryharding then idk.
It works both ways, you wanna have fun and i wanna have fun. It just so happens that if one team is having fun, it probably means the other team isn’t.
thats not what tryharding is. you said your playing the game which is fine, your not messing around. but tryharding is when your literally going op/meta heroes and literally sweating hard
You can’t make this stuff up.
Dude people don’t really care… they are just playing normally… some people play strictly quickplay so they always do their best.
But what if i really enjoy mcree and literally just want to play mcree (i don’t actually play him but still).
Or what if i was trying to pick up mcree. ofc i’m not gonna go straight to comp with a hero that idk how to play. So i’ll practice mcree in quick play. And of course naturally if i’m learning a new hero, i’m gonna try hard to do stuff the right way.
I really feel like this whole “tryharding” thing is just something that people say when they’re getting rolled by someone better than them. And then, that’s more down to the failure of the matchmaker rather than any individual “trying too hard”
Not really what tryharding is. Its moreso loading into the game and deciding to have mercy and ana sit on a cree with dmg boost and heals and nanos with bubbles/matrix/shielding all on one cree.
Like yea, trying is fine, I also try in qp, its just when ur so sick and tired of seeing cree in comp and then u go to qp and u dont only see cree every game, u get cree on steroids because dia borders always have a mercy in the stack to dmg boost, and always nanoing them, and so on.
Playing in masters is drastically less sweaty than qp when u have a dia border stack, and Id say even gm is less sweaty (I know because even in gm games in matchmaking vs when I played with dia border 6 stack in NA, its not even close, the dia border 6 stacks in NA at latenight is sweatiest thing Ive ever seen, its 4k+ six stacks), and just like u all said, we want to play without the SR hanging over us, but if I cant play casually in comp due to SR and I cant play casually in qp due to people who want to tryhard in qp, it makes the times I want to play casually very tedious.
When I know I have to wake up at 6am for the army and just want to play couple games before sleep and every game is hardpocketed hitscans and tryhard stacks in a row, that ruins my fun time before a long day of work.
EDIT: And I wonder if looking at that perspective too will change ur mind as well someday.
if you complain about people tryharding
you cannot accept they are better
ah i see, ok i see how that’s annoying
Its mainly annoying because thats what I avoid comp for lol. We all want to play comp for SR sometimes but we all want to take a step off from the idea of having to actually try our hearts out for some virtual points, so we queue into qp, and there its even worse. So I find myself sometimes before sleep looking for just one good game before I can sleep and I end up spending time in q due leaving 3-4 games in a row since I already recognize these stacks.
The beautiful thing about quickplay is that you can play however you want. Try hard. Don’t try. It’s all okay.
if you want to play a hero then play the hero. i mean that you shouldnt only 100% pick only meta/op heroes like moth meta mercy or brig 1.0 because that was tryharding honestly
I’m going to assume your version of “literally sweating hard” and mine are two different things. I can count on zero hands the number of times I’ve even broken a sweat playing a video game.
