literally every private profile ive come across in comp either
A) didn’t realize it was private
B) was lying about what they play/boosted I used overbuff to confirm this.
I literally play for a team in leagues, this has nothing to do with why private profiles are bad.
A working comp. Now get your private profile out of Competitive and back to QP.
I literally don’t care who anyone plays anymore. If we lose because you’re a Mercy one trick branching out to widow then you’ll lose SR and drop but I will continue climbing.
You are talking about 2 different things, speed (which i was talking about) and accuracy.
On the accuracy part: It does provide a complete full description and all possible details about your heroes. You may have 5% winrate with a hero just because of your teammates, but some people put more trust in numbers than stories.
There are A LOT of people, myself included, who take every game, including QM, just as serious as comp. Why would it be nothing like comp with so many people just trying to win?
If you are willing to switch, then fine, but you won’t learn anything. Why try in the first place, feed ult charge to the enemies (which is gameplay sabotage if done intentionally, i.e. not switching when getting steamrolled) and not just go directly to QM?
No, it doesn’t. I was simply expressing concern, as you seem very upset. You’ve been debating quite spiritedly, and wanted to make sure you weren’t getting unnecessarily worked up. And kudos on the team!
lmao ok I agree with this.
I don’t. No one, except try hards do, so please just ignore them.
I don’t know, but I have personally seen this happen in my own games, and on twitch, etc.
How do you prove that you don’t lie, if the only way we can look at your profile are third party websites? Should we just believe you because you tell us this?
Ok, I agree with you on your post, but I just gotta do this… you’re*
If I’m a healer main, and we already have 2 supports, I want to know if our Ana actually plays Ana or is just trying to flex. I like people to play what they’re comfortable on
Why is not trusting a stranger considered “severe trust issues” to you? It’s just normal human nature to be suspicious of an unknown quantity.
If everyone on the team is picking normal heroes, then I trust the normal way of doing things and those strangers.
If someone picks off-meta, then I check their profile because picking your main of normal.
If their profile is private, or doesn’t show that hero, I give them a chance to explain their plan, because cheese strats are fairly common.
If they aren’t in chat or don’t respond, then I assume they are throwing.
I give them multiple chances for them to allay my fears and get me to trust them. I don’t need to be shown their soul, but I do need some level of understanding about their plans, especially one’s that are unorthodox.
I think it should be like, if your profile is private, then you shouln’t be able to look at any other profiles. If you don’t want to have assumptions made on you, because of your profile, you shouldn’t be able to make any on anyone else
because you’re playing purely to play whatever you want without a single thought for your team’s welfare. I’m not saying YOU do but theres definetly people out there that do.
I don’t. Quickplay is a means of no pressure fun for all players to enjoy whichever hero they want. As with all games. it’s all about FUN.
but people wont take your word for it. If you’re so willing to tell the team your mains etc… then why even have private profile at all?
If you make your profile private you are simply asking for trouble. Me personally. I won’t say anything abusive or insulting. I always give everyone the benefit of the doubt at the start but not everyone is that forgiving.
I certainly don’t group with private profile players. I make that very clear in my LFG title.
If you’ll tell us, why not just have it public and skip the BS inbetween?
Seriously, private profiles are so dumb. It’s a videogame, who cares if people can see which heroes in a VIDEO GAME you happen to play. Just mute the anonymous person being a big meany in voice chat if the situation arises and move on with your life.
Privacy is everyone’s right.
Numbers without context ARE stories.
Do you have time to look through every teammate’s stats thoroughly and correlate a profile that eliminates all variables and assumptions? For ALL seasons they’ve played?
Or do you just look at winrate, accuracy and time played and think that’s enough?
It also makes you think certain people can only play one hero when in reality they just spend a lot of time filling a role no one else wants to play.
Going off of that means you pick around the assumption that they’ll want to play that exact same hero again, only deepening the problem, and causing more and more issues for the player if they ever decide to play something different.
A pure hypothetical, of course, this totally isn’t what happened to half the support or tank playerbase.
I said that it does provide everything there is to know.
But like how someone will not talk about every season they have played with said hero, every stat etc when presenting what they want to play(like how OP is suggesting) it’s not anymore accurate than fast checking a profile.
It’s in fact a bit slower in terms of speed, but also profiles still provide everything necessary to make a deep conclusion about that player.
I think we have a classic case of the Dunning-Kruger effect.
Time played this season
Time played all modes
Heroes they play seriously but potentially forces them into a flex pick
Heroes they want to play but potentially allows a hero they are just training for now
