Players take ranked games too seriously

General Discussion

Lets be honest, all those who rage about small things and at the same time are in gold or whatever will never reach the high ranks lol

I play for the sake of playing, while most of you play for the sake of winning, and when you lose you freak out.

Name one player who never had a bad game ever and I will shut up forever

I can’t stand players who get overly aggressive just to resort to being verbally abusive. However, if I’m playing comp, I take it seriously. If I want to chill and meme, I go to QP or arcade. It gets frustrating after many comp losses, but I don’t take it out on others. I just stop playing for the day and start fresh the next.

It’s simple. If you want to be competitive and play competitively, you play the “Competitive” mode. If you want to make memes you play QP / Arcade. If you’re joining comp games just to act like a tool, you deserve what you get IMO.

Edit - If you’re actively trying and being a team player and someone is being toxic, that’s different. Report them.

If you play just for the sake of it, then why don’t you play other modes? If you’re not taking competitive mode as a serious game mode.

sure people get a bit angry, but you just said you don’t care about the mode so uhm…?

The main objective for competitive mode is to win and improve nobody wants to lose in a competitive match.

People who take the game seriously enough to abuse other players in that way are socially stunted children, and need to seriously self reflect about why they really care about a ranking in an online game so much in the first place.

And for the record, those exact same kind of players exist in the higher ranks too. I spent about two seasons up in masters, and it was by far the single most toxic, unfun experience I had ever had with this game.

If you play for the sake of playing and not for the sake of competition and wanting high elo why play the competitive gamemode?

Players take this game too seriously in every rank.

Even people in GM will rage because they think they deserve to be even higher or a pro. And then people in Bronze think they deserve to be higher if it wasn’t for their teammates.

Rage is universal.

How dare you? Sinner!!! :rage: :shushing_face: :stuck_out_tongue:.

For me, “serious game” sounds like “cold fire”, or “dry water”; A game is always a game, a non-serious thing :man_shrugging:.

There’s a difference between ‘being too mad about a loss’ and ‘being too indifferent about trying to win’.

I disagree, I expect just a minimum level of competence where I am at. That’s high silver to low plat, you’re tellling me people can’t try at the bare minium to understand their role, getting picks, team synergy, use their mic, or just know basic fundamentals?

BULL

ABSOLUTE FREAKING BULL

Do NOT play comp if you’re just trying to mess around, I don’t expect a win but I expect you at least to freaking try, and if you’re not going to get the heck out of comp. QP exists for a reason.

Fyi, I am learning Support and Tank, they are my lowest, Damage is my highest.

There is nothing wrong with wanting to win and finding winning to be fun. If that’s not for you, that is fine too. Everyone is allowed to enjoy what they like, assuming it doesn’t interfere with others enjoyment.

No, the mistake most people are making, is blaming the people who don’t care or having a bad day, or whatever, for them not being able to rank up. The trolls and such aren’t unique to just the blue team. And since the game uses performance based ranking you don’t even need a positive win rate to rank up. But people just want an excuse cause they can’t accept their rank. But blaming others will not get them anywhere.

I play competitive for the sake of having fun playing the heroes I like in the most balanced matcheups

21

Then please,stay out of ranked…Tired of getting those morons who never play Rein but decide to in ranked…Ya,thats enough to really piss you off

There’s a reason I play Mystery Heroes 95% of the time now, when I use to play comp. I just want to have fun. Comp has people raging at the smallest things. I had an Ana rage at me the other day because I accidentally woke up a Reinhardt, and she literally sat there in the open taking damage and died to type her sentence.

MH also forces me to use heroes I would otherwise never pick.
