Indeed. And “classic” should be the default and the Role Queue part of the arcade.
QP was playable before. Toxic people will be toxic everywhere. People will argue and whine no matter what happens. Player freedom shouldn’t have to suffer because of it.
My experience has been the polar opposite. Even my losses aren’t as frustrating because they’re actually close games nine times out of ten. I still see the occasional stomp in either direction, of course, but it was much worse pre-2-2-2.
Probably the genuine flex players trying to hold onto their flexing playstyle, begging the “i play what I want. It’s just QP, who cares about team comp” crowd to be cooperative. Which is a fool’s errand.
Most of them will eventually either give that up and mostly play role queue or quit, because being a flex player in that mess is just asking for a bad time. And all that will be left are the trolls. Same thing happened to No Limits.
One lady’s restrictive and unfun is another one’s balanced and structured.
I hope they add a role queue less version of comp so that you guys can get a full experience. But I hope they continue to view 222 as the main mode and they treat it as such.
I agree the highs aren’t quite as high, but I find I overall have higher quality matches and more fun as a result, personally. Even the losses feel better.
…and as I said, that needs to be an option - and not the default. Many of us, like myself, play QP/Arcade and don’t touch competitive.
@Venus, and I’m happy for you. But this restriction feels like hands on the throat about to squeeze out the little fun this game had left. I think Blizzard is more interested in catering to the “pro” players more than those of us who just want to have fun.
A large portion of people that are playing qpc are people that share your opinion. This is simply how they play and what they want to do with their freedom.
QPC lost the people who filled because they felt pressured to do it and not because they wanted to do it. There is no way to get those people back into doing it.
They aren’t playing those roles in QPC because they don’t want to play it.
