No point keeping quickplay unranked around

If it’s just gonna be comp without the better matchmaking what is the point in having it? Just remove it and have the casuals and pub stomp teams go to arcade and what’s left of pve and training modes. Blizzard wants everybody playing competitive so bad then fine they win. Push and flashpoint still suck so clash better be good.

Could you elaborate, how is quickplay like comp? I might not play it much but I definitely still hop in when I’m not sure I have time, or just wanna practice a new hero, or even just muck around.

They are talking about the leaving punishment they are making worse

they turned up the punishments so it feels like competitive without it being called competitive

All the anti-leavers want people to stay even if they are getting spawn camped to “improve game quality” instead of letting people do what they feel is fun
They would rather you throw the game than to leave it

Thanks for the clarification. Surprised that’s an issue, it feels like you have to leave a ton of games for it to kick in.

Qp is more popular than comp. There’s no point to bigLiz to keep comp afloat

nah, it only takes 2 games out of the last 20 to get a 5 minute penalty
and you cant even leave on agent select screen

I don´t wanna play comp and QP is nothing like comp.

Even if it shows a warning when trying to leave before spawning in, that’s a UI glitch. You won’t get any penalty. They STILL have not fixed this… and I mentioned it like, how many months ago now?

i am not risking a quickplay ban to test this out, nice try

I do it all the time on maps I don’t like. Samoa, Dorado? Instantly leave. No penalty.

i am playing it the way blizzard intended it

To me, there’s no point in keep playing Competitive on a 8-year old game with :

  • a constant decreasing playerbase
  • a matchmaking that mix players from differents ranks to keep fast queues afloat
  • very long matches (that make Escort and Hybrid even more boring and reptitive)
  • a less tactical game since 5v5
  • balancing the game around Role Queue and a forced “one tank system” per team.

I’m fine with the standard unranked game mode called Quick Play that finally features common penalties any other PVP game has (to prevent “chaos”) :man_shrugging:… But yeah, if adding a rank is an incentive for you to play short 5-10 minute-long matches, it’s up to you to advocate for it, I guess… ?

Edit : we don’t even see ranks in Competitive. Having ranks is not the main reason many veteran players stopped playing Comp. They’re just not interested in investing such long hours into it anymore, especially after having reached a rank they’ve been hardstuck at for years.

Being casual while waiting for new heroes and maps (every 120 days) is just perfect for a game released in 2016.

You can’t even throw those games if you tried, your team is already doing it with their chronic bad decision making.

Those teammates will be like “ok now I’m throwing” you mean you weren’t doing that before :thinking:

Actually based af

QP matchmaking is only there to help those high ranks have fun stomping low ranks. Not to mention half or more of console top 500 xim
