Not entirely sure what this means. I think QP is perfect right now. In pretty much all my games players are trying to win with whatever hero they pick but they aren’t yelling at others for their hero picks or play. The leavers situation is pretty much solved after the penalties were put in place. There are some here and there which is unavoidable but it’s not a constant stream of leavers like before. I urge the devs to please keep QP as it is. It’s obviously not perfect but you don’t need to go messing with something that’s not broken. The leaver penalties are fine as is. The culture in QP is very healthy with a good balance between competitive and fun. It’s a nice friendly space for players looking to get in some OW2 games without the grind of comp. That’s what QP should have always been and we actually have it now!
Yea I love comp but if I have like 45 mins to play, I’m playing QP. If QP is too sweaty for people, try some custom games or arcade
If you mute chat and vc, they can’t even yell at you to switch. Perfect for quickplay.
I never found the need to. I open every QP game with a friendly greeting and almost all of the time people are very nice! Overwatch has always had one of the more friendly communities imo.
QP is as sweaty as the community makes it. Besides that, it is the place to practice and try new things without affecting your ranked progress.
It’s felt pretty chill, in a good way. Was playing some last night.
If you want to chill in an objective-based team game about killing the opposition then I don’t know how much more I can explain that you are wrong.
For the love of all that is good and holy, if it has to be Overwatch then go and search the custom games to go meme, troll, self-delete and chill.
QP…IMHO…is a place to practice being sweaty.
(In general) you’re working on a toon. Or trying to discover if you even have an interest in a given character. Or trying to get more fluid with a character you know. Or maybe your trying to find different spots or strats on a map that work best for you. (mostly) it seems like people are trying to advance in one way or another. Even if it’s just trying to find new ways to troll. Which all involve a little sweat.
QP is too sweaty – this is phase used by disconnected from real state of the game “comp only” players . Sure qp was chill and relaxed like during seasons 1 to 2 Overwatch 1 .
It means that people who should be playing competitive are treating quickplay as if it were competitive. That’s more or less the definition the developers implied and it is relatively obvious it is happening. I feel bad for the actual casual players who have to deal with it only to be told the stack of GM players aren’t even trying.
Look, if people refuse to play their MAIN or a FUN tank and instead opt to counterpick me, they have swamp booty. You can pretend all you want that your gaming chair is not stained with disdain for yourself and others, but we all know the truth.
No it doesn’t, it means ‘it’s only qp’, ‘chill’ dudes who want to screw around and forget that Overwatch is a team game, using playground language to try and shame people trying to play normally.
Yeah very, very occasionally someone can take it too far and be too critical but those scales are far outweighed by trolls and people who don’t understand that constantly charging in alone is screwing over 4 other people - and also creating a low quality experience for the other side doing the stomping.
Honestly QP feels fine to me most days. I think a lot of people just need to complain about stuff.
In other games a tryhard is someone who spawn camps, and no scope shots. A tryhard in Overwatch is someone who avoids any challenge for an easy win.
Beat them 1v1 = Sombra/Widow
Tank holding back payload = Counter swap/Bastion
Lose the first point = rage quit
You pick the mode that is just for fun, than do everything to make it not fun. It’s weird energy.
QP is broken, constant throwers and soft afkers. The game hasnt been enjoyable for months in qp at the upper ends of the game. And its mostly dominated by who ever has the better tank/support. DPS is practically a useless role, And i cant even leave. So I’m just made to sit and suffer, through every dog matchmaker game. This game is getting worse and worse by the day tbh.
You mean… what QP was in ow1?
If people are pinging everything on the map. its too sweaty for me.
Issue is. appropriate matching.
The competitive driven players deserve to be grouped with competitive players and to play against competitive driven players.
Fine by me.
What I dont want to do is be paired off with them and Arcade seams to be the same exact issue there as well. People seam to REALLY sweat there in Arcade even more.
This whole match “steering” is very lame. I just want to Pew pew in Quickplay like we pretty much did for the first few years of the game.
Playing for a win is one thing. But hyper-focused single-target attacks gets to be insanity in Quickplay. Not my cup of tea.
I very rarely play competitive nowadays, only stick to quick play. I don’t think it’s too sweaty, most games are over in less than 10 mins and there’s zero stress to perform well because there’s no rank system to worry about, which is why I mostly stick to quick play.
People go into quick play expecting easier wins. That’s not how it works, so it gets called sweaty.
Different people have different definition of fun, some enjoy playing what they want, some enjoy tryharding, as long as both are trying to win it’s fine.
It’s sad when someone in either camp is too dumb and starts insulting the other side, people like that are too full of themselves to realize their expectations don’t make them better.
But then again people like that have 0 social awareness most likely.
Right!?!? This a million times over, i just want to chill maybe do some duels and get some solo’s. Never, its hyper focused both teams on one target every match. Game couldnt get more boring.
