Actual real world example: “Here, lets make you spend 10’s of thousands of dollars on a spinal column specialists when all they needed was an aspirin.”\
200 bucks to go to a Spinal Column specialist, thats cash up front out here with no insurance. Not sure where you are from, but if you are getting rooked for 2 grand probably a very expensive state to live in.
Besides, you can only take so much aspirin before you could end up wrecking your endocrine and gastrointestinal system. Its a temporary solution, not a permanent solution. But thats for you to consult a licensed physician regarding the best choice treatment. (im not a licensed doctor).
Because the existence of other issues does not equate to ignoring leavers. Have a thrower? Report them. Have a cheater? Report them. Have any other issue? There is already actions you can take.
We keep hearing the same thing over and over again. The same “call the police” statement. The watchmen of this game aren’t here. Im sure you have noticed they aren’t policing their games.
Im sure you are aware the game has Free accounts. Yeah that hasn’t stopped anything either.
Because the underlying cause are entitled people who want to chase wins. The only way to deal with people like that is to penalize them and take their ability to shop around for good lobbies away from them.
False; Not every person leaves matches for the wins. Otherwise people would have figured it out long ago that leaving doesn’t always mean a person will win in the next match and even Blizzard states leaving is scored as a “LOSS” on your record.
Even youtubers discuss their reasons for leaves are for the reasons that people that are disruptive in the matches. So no, thats not about leaving on purpose to get to the next match for a win. Especially since we dont know what the RNG would give us for the next match. S
its a video game with a Primary Mode for Competitive ranked play, which I assume we both can agree here should be a competitive driven match system that is specifically designed for dedicated gameplay, and that we both agree a 3-strikes cross-season ban is appropriate for COMPETITIVE (RANKED) play and NOT QUICKPLAY. Since you aren’t losing anything in Quickplay other than people that seam to get butthurt about leavers for no inheritable good reason.
our difference of opinion is that “QUICKPLAY” is its purpose.
Im going to stand by the fact that Quickplay should be used as a warm-up practice room for people to learn Overwatch at their own pace.
Probably a good reason to state why Matches of Overwatch suck now, because we don’t provide a “warm up room” for people to learn the game of Overwatch anymore, (against other players).
With QUICKPLAY:
- Yes, it should have skill based match making so you aren’t facing opponents that are too difficult for you.
Yes, I believe Leaving should be allowed for many reasons in QUICKPLAY only, albeit, lifes happenings, people being completely disruptive that are just rioting, or making the lobby entirely unpleasant to play for any reason.
As well as for those that can still try to learn the game when they are struggling with their rig’s performance adjustments to make their Overwatch game finely tuned to play best with competitive.
And yes, there are plenty of RAGE GAMERS out there. They do need their place to play, and learn to chill tf out. If they want to rage while playing its one thing. (I think thats just called a real, actual “competitive gamer”. if they want to rage in chat, Then I agree they are disruptive enough to be banned for “bad speak”.
And I will throw this out here, if you do anything with PC overclocking you know as well as I do that you have to fire up a video game and just sometimes take the hard-crash from the BIOS until you can get those Voltage adjustments set stable, and that each game sometimes requires a bit of different changes to get it fine-tuned. Probably a good reason to keep Quickplay as a “leaver allowed” zone.
Anyway.
The real people that are the problem here are the People want Ranked 2.0 for QUICKPLAY. We dont need it, and people that want to play dedicated Hardcore overwatch should have stayed the hell in RANKED play.
Instead you guys have demanded Overwatch’s dev to team to make the whole game just 1 generic no-variety brick of a game that is boring af, and begged the game’s director to break out the riding crop and beat up casuals for the sake of this 'overwatch league rules only game".
Yeah, thats not very inviting to a larger audience. No wonder why 300,000 people have took the massive proverbial “dump” on Overwatch going from a large audience game to this generic dumpster fire that was brewed in a cauldron in the basement of Acti-blizz studios.
Hence why we are losing out to games like Marvel Rivals (Ewww gross).
If you, and anyone else here want to have this attitude that Overwatch should be this strict. Well guess what. a Small audience isn’t going to fund many more seasons of Overwatch.
Its no different than going to a bar. Not everyone goes to the bar for the drinking games. Sometimes people just want to crack open a nice can of brew, sit back and relax. Life isn’t always about competing and Overwatch shouldn’t be treated any different.
We can have hardcore dedicated play, but it should stay in RANKED Play. But for leaving in Quickplay. its fine. people need to chill tf out and stop being so up-tight about the mode. You only got 36,000 moons in your life to see. So chill the heck out about leavers in quickplay and get off their (redacted) about supposedly should be dedicated to the game. IMO save it for RANKED play. Where it matters.
And yes, this will always be the discussion:
“So stick around its just a 10 minute match” vs " Lifes too short to stick around in a worthless match". vs “So who cares if someone leaves that just a 10 minute match”.
Yup. All contradictory statements, both ways. Both sides of the argument.
