Quick play is so unfun. every single game is a stomp. EVER. SINGLE. GAME. Is a complete obliteration for one team, and its not fun at all. There’s no even remotely fun games in quick play. fix this gamemode.
Play Mystery hero.
Sometimes it’s fun, sometimes it’s like bronze playing against diamonds, who knows!
we cardinally don’t!
Edit - Certainly. I don’t know why ‘cardinally’ was a choice…
To fix Quickplay, they would have to tighten up matchmaking like ranked.
Then it would become Slowplay.
I would take that over the current crap matches any day. Right now, if I’m flex queuing, I get into a game in less than a minute nearly every time. Sure its tank or heals almost every game, but its fast.
I would GLADLY wait 2-5 minutes instead if it meant I had a better chance at a better match up.
I’m not asking for Comp level of matching, but they could tighten it up SOME. Wouldn’t hurt if they limited matches to players within a level range either. Something. Anything. I get on average 1 in 5 that provide a decent fight. Not one sided stomps.
Otherwise its stomp after stomp, sometimes I get to stomp and other times I get stomped.
It doesn’t help when you see sub level 15 players in EVERY single match. And they aren’t all newbies either.
I usually apologize if I’m on the team that does the stomping. I know how that feels when on the receiving end. I just wish the winning players sometimes didn’t add salt to the misery by insulting the losers on top of the stomp. That just makes the toxic even worse and ruins the game even more.
But yeah. Give me a longer queue time in QP if it means I could get some better games!
Game on.
This. I’m more than fine with waiting. The “While You Wait” Deathmatch has been one of my favorite parts of this game since it was added.
I don’t want people getting sweaty and the classic game of “fighting my teammates more than we fight the enemy” that comes with ranked, but I would love for longer or fairer games.
I just waited 15 min to play quick play 5vs6
Match ended in 5 minutes.
This is honestly a great typo.
;-; I chose the wrong option in the spelling checker.
Stay out of Classic QP. TRUST ME.
Unless you are just there to practice a new hero, don’t even bother with that cesspool. And even then, just practice in regular QP or Workshop games
But how would they fix it tho? There is no real incentive to win in QP since you gain/lose nothing. There is no rank, no competative points, nothing. Which makes it the mode you play to practise, chill or just mess around.
Even if they made the matchmaking tighter it would still not solve the problem that players have nothing to lose and thus won’t do anything to win.
I find QP is a dice roll. One game you get “boomer” team mates with gold borders and above, and then you get those who are brand new to the game and have no idea where to run.
I’ve been playing more QP lately because I don’t have the energy for comp, but I can’t say every match is a stomp (on our team). At least not in my case.
That’s a new one…
Genuinely new players are rarer top500s lol.
You forgot to mention the most frequent type of account, the bronze alt
Oddly I’ve been getting new people in my team, likely grouped with someone else. But oh boy… I witnessed a Soldier running around our spawn area, or “shooting” team mates. And a Zarya that was kind of… lost, a couple of games later. You can always tell who’s genuinely new.
Just had a QP game on Rialto, the enemy Tracer, level 21, was clearly not new. Levelling up to that sweet lvl25.
Qp feels too much like bot mode for me.
Well, I sometimes have QP (or Arcade) streaks …
As long as is around 50/50 I am fine.
Don’t play on weekends.
I usually meet some friday late nights.
quick play used to be decent when the q times were longer. they threw all matchmaking out the window for the sake of dps q times.
they should allow you to opt into long q times.
i would play comp but its too easy in comp to get stuck in tedious infuriating games because 1 person holds the entire lobby hostage.
i hardly play the game now.
if they put back qp matchmaking or cracked down on comp trolls i would play more.
All I play is quickplay. It is fun imo.
Try using a character that complements your team. This tends to do wonders…
But why do that when you can just stomp them with whatever you fancy?
match making is just going too wide.
Throw in some flex queue and priority queue issues along with groups it can get strange, real fast.
Some of the games can still be fun, the mood at least in my games is always pretty chill and that’s why people are in QP vs comp anyways.
You’re trading match making for a lower key sort of round. Good luck finding a comp game at 3k on Junker town where the comps are Hog/Dva/Ana/Lucio/S76/Hanzo vs Orisa/Zarya/Bap/Brig/McRee/Hanzo…
yet no one whines and moans about it
but wow the match making of randoms, not even groups, throwing 1.6k-2k players into games with masters and diamonds makes for some really strange rounds.

fix this gamemode.
That’s what the players have been saying for a very long time. Handicapped matchmaking needs to go because there’s no point in playing games where platinums go up against GM stacks and it happens a lot. Like 9/10 games are just ruined because the matchmaking doesn’t wanna do a decent job, which it could be doing. What most likely messes it up is high and low MMR tanks being mixed and matched to random games that skews up the MMRs of the teams because some DPS/Support players sat 7 minutes in the queue so it gets desperate and just yoinks whatever is available. This is what it at least feels like as a tank player because I can go from winning games with GMs/T500 players into suddenly tanking for platinums. It makes absolutely no sense
