Just finished playing a QP game where I was playing Ana. A few minutes into the game a teammate is like report ana for being toxic. Nevermind them letting the hamster and sombra knockoff the back line. They only thought that I wasn’t healing to their expectation…I was “throwing” and I’m assuming that expectation is what they see in comp. I do not play comp.
So my question is, why are so many competitive people in QP? Why are they bringing their toxicity to QP? They are on their mic crying about how others are playing in QP…heck many of us don’t own a mic let alone expect everyone we play with to be pros.

Typical straw manning. Don’t have to expect you to be a pro for you to try to win a game you’re playing.
That said, them saying “report x” is dumb because mass reporting is not a thing anyway. Maybe it is for cheaters to an extent, but not for anything else.

We cannot play comp all day. So right now. I am taking a break checking forums.
I am going to que qp now. In comp there is that stress of losing your sr if you lose the match.
In qp we don’t have that.
Also if your team is telling you you are not healing then they are probably right.
You can show us the code and I can guarantee you.
You were all the way back hiding and sniping heals when you team was agro on the front line. So they are not getting healing as you are not going to heal ball if you are not within range.
Show us the code.
Dude. I can understand trying but if you’re anything like the usual Anas that are complaining back IE “I can’t see you” when there are a dozen support choices and you clearly are 5k in damage and not even 1k healing after like 5 minutes of gameplay…I’ll be reporting you because it obvious you’re ignoring your role to practice “sniper shots”.
Its nothing new that widow players like playing Ana because it still allows them to practice their sniper shots.
Yes Ana doesn’t headshot, but this still helps their aim immensely.
I’m just sick of players thinking they need to spend 1000s of hours to get better and improve at a hero when really you as a human never spend that much ever to get 100s on tests or to pass a qualification.

Although I don’t know what straw manning is I agree, it definitely dumb. If I did the same for every dps I thought wasn’t dpsing enough, blizzard would have a backlog.

Players are not dumb. If you’re very clearly high damage and super low healing players can see it.
We play this game too and the toxic ones need to reliaze players are not dumb.

No, it’s never the team. It’s one loud person that’s trying to get everyone else on board. And this mindset is why people use cheats and meta characters. I tend to play for fun. Yes, I can dominate using moira or lucia, but I’m just playing for fun. It doesn’t matter whether I win or lose. I’ve nothing riding on the games in QP besides time.
And “show us the code”…I don’t know how. I know it’s hard to comprehend but many people only play this game for fun and aren’t well versed in all of the intricacies of it.

Report them for their text chat, its easy to get people like that suspended for their toxicness if they’re typing it out in chat. Also ignore them.

Everyone is playing this game for fun.
Your fun is not being agro playing slow watching your team die.
His fun is playing agro, pressing q watching the red team die.
It is all subjective.
You should que comp see where you get ranked as per the game.
Just because it is qp does not mean people don’t play it for practice. He needs to practice somewhere and sharpen his skill ?
Do placements show us where you get placed playing for fun

I don’t know. If you’re getting upset at how a person is playing in qp, something ain’t right. I see players all of the time who can’t heal, dps, or tank. I don’t go to crying in chat about them…that’s insanity.

I get upset at people who deny any experience in OW.
You nor others get to dictate how anyone enjoys the game.
“Go easy on me! I wanna play but won’t try or swap ever.”
Like dude…calling the kettle black here.
Its a pvp game. People will get compeititive naturally. That’s how pvp games work. So stop it apready.

“report our tank” at least supports have each other to back it off

Again this mindset is what leads to cheating, playing countless hours, and toxicity in chat. If I gotta play ‘counterwatch’ as they say, then that means the game isn’t balanced.
And no PVP isn’t suppose to be toxic…it’s suppose to be fun. If your fun revolves around crying because other players don’t meet your standard of play in casual mode, that’s a you problem.
You’ll have to keep in mind there are people including kids who play this game for fun and you shouldn’t expect them to play at a pro streamers level in casual mode.

In a competitive teambased hero shooter game?
I’m confused did you want a pvp game or not? Because you’re going to get all kinds.
You can’t sit here and say any one group is wrong.
The least you can do is let em be.
I just had a widow the other day complain to a Sombra a whole lot in text chat because the Sombra wouldn’t let the Widow snipe anything. It wasn’t anything about practice or competition.
It’s just natutally that players aren’t going to become that Widow’s headshot simulator so she had no right to complain at all.
It’s like she was asking us to stand still so she could get free headshots.
That’s not how this works buddy. I’m not going to stand there so you can treat and reduce everyone else to mere target dummies when everypne just wants to play a PVP GAME.
You either play with others, or you can get out. Because you clearly cannot handle basic human interaction.

Your definition of toxic can differ from someone else’s. That’s what makes it kind-of a pointless topic generally.

The problem is, these people do not comprehend that they are being toxic. It’s unfortunately that simple. They think it is normal behavior even though they could magically read the room irl to avoid getting punched in the face. Fancy that! Not all hope is lost for them…
so you want a mobile support to help you but you hate mercy. Its almost like deep down we all want a mercy gf and are mad we cant get one. Relatable

I think some players expect support characters to turn them into a bullet sponge or something?
I don’t play Ana much but did use Moira a bit and some players do get upset if you don’t heal them and turn them invunerable, especially newer players using a tank
Like, dude, Moira has a limited healing that needs recharge! Just retreat and cover! You can do that too!

I had a noob DPS report me on Ana yesterday. They complained about me being too far away. I just didn’t want to die to Rein. Sombra and Venture kept jumping when I came out of spawn. They only got me the first time. However, I had to fight them and this guy was claiming I was AFK in spawn. They went 3-8, which I pointed out. They blamed me for it and said supports like me ruin the game. This team was terrible, but they underperformed the most. I could tell we were against a stack. Both Sombra and Venture targeted me with good teamwork.
You sound like the idiot on my team.
Once in a great while I get a DPS on me for being AFK near spawn, but I’m fighting flankers, especially Sombra. I can duel them, but it takes time.

If you’re being harassed as a support you need to switch to one of the more durable ones or wait for at least one teammate to respawn with you. The throwing thing sometimes you just get teammates who don’t know what they’re talking about. Report or don’t the system figures out who’s right.
