Jeez im getting so tired over this “Its Only QP - excuse” for throwing games.

Just played a game on Volskaya where we had 6 ults and with a Zarya/Dva - Pharah/Junk - Baptiste/Mercy. Before we went in for Point B I asked us to “Group Up” and teamchatted to Zarya if we could do a Grav/Barrage… 2 sec later Zarya ulted alone on point - and died 2 sec after. Then Dva as well threw her ult in when nobody else where attacking. Then 60 sec left of game and Zarya got a new ult and me as well - so asked her again “This time zarya lets do it” - just to hear her say “Fire at Will” - this time 5 sec after between Point A and B - when i was flanking right side and managed to kill Ana and Soldier coming to point and I was waiting for Zarya and team to come and Grav on point for a last push. Never happened and we lost game and another waste of 15 minutes. :anguished:

We all been there in theese situations and its so annoying - so I asked her after game wht happened and ofc u get “Chill its just QP” or “Tryhard shutup and go ranked” or “Go play ranked if u want to win”. This is annoying and by asking a question I’m also sure to get Abusive chat -reports as well for questioning or asking about a heropick.

I play to have fun ofcourse but when I am and some others in team are trying to have good teamplay or trying to win - why should one player who dont care destroy a teameffort or “Not Caring” enough to change his/her Widow versus a Rein/Sigma setup because he/she dont want to change. So we are actually too scared to challange one player to change - instead we should accept letting the whole team loose - making 5 other players upset and waste time/games for the sake of one Cranky Snowflakesson can play "Whatever I want " and “Gawd you are so toxic - I must report you now since u questioning my Widow”.

Solution then /even if I know this would never happen bc of waitingtime/

Make players choose “Intent of the gaming session” - Just as you Que-up for Quickplay you could also choose “Focus/intent” and pick A) “Leisure Quickplay” or B) “Serious Quickplay” Then all the players that wants to tryout new heroes or just have fun pick first option and the ones that wants to try and play more seriously pick option 2. All good and not so much anger/angst/flaming and toxic comments after every game played :smiley:.

Could it work? Seems like it is impossible to solve it … :thinking:

This doesn’t happen very often and it never really bothers me - especially in CQP.

I don’t think splitting up the matchmaking more is the solution, I think it’s something you just have to accept sometimes.

Spliting was the one-and-only solution when we had the playerbase size to afford it, now it’s just “not gonna split because we can’t afford to” situation.

HoTS had this system and it worked great, sadly OW as a much more rushed esport didn’t bother learning from their brother.

I know it’s not what you wanna hear, but you just gotta suck it up and play comp. Quickpkay is a freaking joke. You gotta play comp if you want teammates that actually care about winning

People will Join to “Serious QP” to specific troll & thrown games. The people love to do exactly the opposite. Why do you think the Covid 1.5 years and still active. Cuz people CAN’T DAM UNDERSTAND STAY IN HOME.

What can work is

1.- Giving 7.5 to 10 minutes of Leaving penalties. If you QUIT a QP game you can’t play competitive, qp, join to custom games or arcade. Only "Practice-range

2.- Giving MMR on points similar to “Competitive” you leave a game then you lose -50 MMR, then making ranks like bronze to grand master. With 750 MMR difference. So if you adore troll, grief or quit. You will go back to BRONZE in not time.

3.- Making a “Thrown” system more severe. If your performance is really-really under your average MMR that match. You get a 5 minutes penalty for “Surrender” that game

Only with this 3 things people will start RESPECT more quick play

The biggest problem with “quick play” is that it’s not “quick” for dps. If I was waiting 10 minutes for a game I’d be mad if people were throwing too.

things that tilt me in quickplay, leavers and quiters. i rather have someone trying even if they are one-tricking then anyone that quits. i have had games turn around at the last percent point and such but if no one believes then you lost anyways
