QuickPlay GG wipes

General Discussion
21

I dont get why people play QP.
Its a revolving door of leavers. Makes it so every match is one sided and decided by first fight.

22

To me, GG isn’t a literal endorsement of game quality but a shorthand for ‘no hard feelings’ or a sign of non-hostility.

23

I think the majority see it through Trilly’s lens even though some people might have good intent. What I don’t understand is how people don’t even know that, because their unreadable intent is positive in their mind they should know what the general consensus is around a team wipe and saying GG. It’s like saying we swept the floor with you, which yeah they did but why rub it in.

24

And I get that, kudos to you for being an optimist, but I definitely see it as a sort of kick em when they’re down or rub salt in the wounds thing. Especially with this community. It’s just a super unnecessary thing to say in that situation. Those people are already embarrassed/frustrated/demoralized. The last thing they wanna see is GG or, even worse, “no hard feelings”, it’s so condescending. In some situations it’s honestly better to not say anything at all.

25

The game isn’t in a good enough spot to invest time into grinding rank and being able to leave when matchmaker inevitably screws you is a huge plus.

Hard disagree.
Remember your opinion is only YOUR opinion :slight_smile:

27

Never implied it wasn’t only my opinion. You said you didn’t understand and I gave my opinion why I personally play QP.

Yeah but you’re presenting this as if you’re never on the other side of the equation, being the one doing the stomping.

It’s cool, it happens to all of us. The devs have been working to try and reduce this forever, but it’s just the nature of OW. Sometimes, certain teams are just executing strategies together in perfect sync (many times without even realizing they’re doing it), while the other team is all tilted and flaming one another.

I like your name, btw :+1:

if you win and say gg i can’t understand your brain and don’t want to i don’t want to know the weird feelings you must have to feel the need

Or people whining are to much of a momma’s boy, you know the saying “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” It turns out that that is true…

31

You are just making my case for me

32

The same people stop being nice when you beat them in the second match lol.

33

You know the community is terminally toxic when they complain about good sportsmanship lol.

34

Yeah nowadays when it’s a 100% stomp I’ll just type “gg good team” in team chat. But that’s partially because I keep reading threads like this and am terrified of someone reporting me for saying “gg” when they did not think it was a gg lol

35

But it is true if you can’t handle a phrase such as GG

36

Comp is the same way, players just give up and either go afk or auto-pilot instead of leaving. I’d rather the trolls be allowed to leave and take my chances with a backfill, personally.

Comp penalty doesn’t magically give players a better mindset, it just causes the trolls to linger.

37

I will always say gg at the end of a game, no matter who won or lost and regardless of whether there was a stomp.

It’s basic game etiquette.

Even if my team lost because we got absolutely ruined, to the point where it was a complete shutout and no one on my team got any kills, I’ll still say gg at the end.

38

You just keep making my case.

39

If that’s all you can say then that case amounts to crap

I play pretty much exclusively ranked. And that is extremely rare for that to happen.

Players in ranked, tend to understand that losing first fight, isn’t that big of a deal. Or that you might have a rough first half, but you can always make it up in the second.

I have TONS of comeback games. SO please spare me your “ranked is just as bad” nonsense, cus its not.
