I strongly believe that the majority of people who say such things, while implying that in a competitive environment they will play more seriously or they will switch to counter, are often liars and hypocrites. This applies first and foremost to themselves and their team.
Just tell me that you won’t switch, or don’t tell me, ‘it’s Quick Play, I’m relaxing,’ when you haven’t even touched competitive.
Be true to yourselves, stand by your opinions, and stop making excuses.
If someone wants to report you, it won’t stop them when they read that you are chilling or that you are training or something. Personally, you have a higher chance of getting a report from me if you throw out that lame hypocritical line than if you’re honest.
Not reply to someone: After the addition of the new report reason ‘Blocking Team Progress,’ if I (or anyone) believes that a certain activity hinders the team’s progress, then they can file a report. It’s then up to Blizzard to decide whether they want to investigate its validity and whether to impose any punishment or not. There is no official statement from Blizzard explaining ‘Blocking Team Progress,’ so it’s left to interpretation both for me and for them. (imma go to sleep)
Sure because if someone got suspended or banned Blizzard will say “imma check the logs and i will unban you”.
Sadly it is my job so it happens on passive. I dont spend energy or emotions on that… they are just thoughts and assumptions.
People will do whatever they want regardless of others.
People still say “It’s only QP!” despite Jeff saying in an interview ages ago that QP does not mean don’t try or don’t cooperate with your team, it simply means what it implies - a quicker mode than competitive that you can do without a premade team.
If someone is genuinely trying to learn a new character or genuinely trying - give them grace. Hopefully they’ll switch if they’re being hardcountered. But if they’re throwing by not being a team player, report and move on.
Thank god! I was hoping someone at blizzard (didn’t know it was the ex director himself) would say this yes quick play you can test heros and do this and that “To the best of your abilities” I’ve never touched pharah a day in my life virtually but hay I’d still definitely be “Trying” to win I wrote a post about this ages ago didn’t really get popular it was “Where does it’s just qp stop” like where is the limit?
And tbh there is a limit don’t do crap that would completely screw up the enjoyment of the game for everyone else throwing yourself off the map ir running in 1v5 that is not respecting the 5 players on your team no person with respect for others would do this.
But if your genuinely playing genji and your just bad that’s a completely different story.
I wish more people would join vc cause I’d just walk them through at least the basics of hew heros or tell them where to position so I can heal them and they can explore even more while being ya know alive.
Quick play is an environment where not everyone is going to play their 100%, and many will pick heroes that are not logical to you. If you want an environment where people are mostly focused on win, move to QP.
And them saying “I am relaxing” translates into “I am not switching.” So I don’t see where you get confused here.
Report for refusing to switch? I am sure that’s false flagging.
the problem with this is, i do go into quick play to play more relaxed. ive played comp for years, climbed accounts into diamond and masters several times along the way.
just because i dont want to swap in a qp match doesnt mean i cant smoke the enemy team if i swap, i choose not too because my qp mmr is pretty low compared to my comp mmr and its not fun to steam roll a team that way.
if i wanted to put in max effort id play comp on my main, if i want to relax i play qp.
this feels more like you taking QP a little too seriously and then getting upset at other people for not sharing that level of seriousness.
I’m not a competitive player. but sometimes I like to test myself with choices that are unusual to my habits. so, it may be true that I’m not a good genji or roadhog… but you’re free to walk out of that match if you don’t have the patience to let me practice with that hero, right?
ok, it sucks to lose but… where can you get real practice? AI will never be like playing with real people, let’s not pretend that it’s actually useful after understanding what the skills do, I need to understand how to move with them. you can ask me not to be overly pretentious in your help (healing, tanking, general supporting), but otherwise: you are free to leave whenever you want if you don’t like having me with you.
it’s not sabotage, it’s the desire to play and try something else. it is very different from the concept of winning or losing with advantages by countering.
i just have never understood why people in this video game we play for fun, feel like they have any right to tell other people what characters to play or to not play. its a game, its supposed to be fun. if you don’t like the characters i am playing and are not having fun. go play a different game. leave this lobby and play with new people. bring some friends so you don’t need to worry about my pick. this is a game and it is supposed to be fun at the end of the day. as much as people will optimize the fun out of it (see GM’s relationship with orisa)
If you have fun losing… Enjoy.
But not everyone is weird like you. Most people like to win and making them lose because you like losing isn’t a very “social” thing.
You are what could be called “toxic”.
I made a thread about players who for some reason think quick play is serious business.
Your only playing quick play “seriously” because there is a chance you’ll get a plat or diamond player on your team that will carry you. There is zero chance that happening in comp.
Blizzard will say “imma check the logs and i will unban you”.
