Should it be possible to gain purple points to purchase gold weapons by playing quick-play? I think so. Plenty of people don’t have the patience or capability to play Competitive. Quick-play can be just as stressful and challenging as any competitive game. What do you all think?

I believe they are called Competitive points for a reason.

I’d like Blizzard to make it so quick-play can get the points as well, even if it’s at a reduced cost.

Quick play is for credits if you play the role they say (usually tank or flex queue)
If you don’t have the patience or capability to play competitive then don’t.
If you’re a completionist, then farming all gold guns when you’re at mediocre rank and play let’s say 2-3 hours a day, would take you 6-7 years probably
If you’re not a completionist just get over it and forget about them

and they are the reason why alot of people care little for their placement matches because they are just there for the purple points for the new season

Devs really should make it that you get the comp points from qp, arcade, workshop and comp. Comp points should be called for example overwatch points or hero points whatever. Gold guns should be able to buy from playing only qp
Remove the whole comp points gained every season depending how high you are ranked. Comp points ruins competitive and it’s a really dumb thing to have.

Then what would be the point of playing competitive anymore?
This is the exact reason why. People who don’t want to play competitive, but play it for placements to get comp points. The whole “you have to play” thing for competitive is a bad thing for the game.
Quick play, arcade and workshop modes are more fun for people like you and people like you should get gold gun points from them 100%.

It’s not a bad thing. It gives a reason to play comp in the first place.
There are players who play for competition and QP is not a good place for them.
Sure but why not give the same exact points from winning a match in quickplay as you get from comp too. It’s just a cosmetic and a fun thing to grind. Comp shouldn’t be a place to grind to get cosmetics. Comp is a good gamemode even without competitive points. It’s a dumb thing to lockaway from more casual players

but then whats the reward for playing comp?
quickplay should have its own exclusive stuff.
Can be funny if they would add silver weapons for qp.

No other game really does this competitive is just a gamemode to get the full experience match against people similar to your skill level and play matches to full length overtime etc. Even devs have adressed that competitive points are a problem, but so minimal that they still haven’t prioritized to remove them.
Comp is about winning and getting a rank you want for example, not about ruining 15 matches every season to get placement and more points for golden guns
Because they are called “Competitive” points. If they would be rewarded for playing casual matches, it would be a complete joke.
Just play comp 
Then make them be called Golden gun points or achievement points. Just a small fix to a text file. Boom problem fixed and game is a little better for everyone. They could make winning in comp/qp/arcade give even more points, if they also remove the whole seasonal point system. Gold guns for everyone!

I see. So you want golden guns to be rewarded with little to no effort for playing casual modes over and over again.

Yes why not, playing comp isn’t a huge effort either. I’m just playing comp, because I find qp and arcade boring. Whats the big difference? They both take time and you still would have to win to get more points ezpz. For me casual gamemodes are more of an effort as they are more chaotic

That’s what comp takes: Patience.
If you can’t wait, then don’t play comp.
Being chaotic doesn’t mean more effort. It’s like saying Total Mayhem takes more effort than comp since it’s so chaotic you just constantly spam abilities.

Only Quick Players say this, because it is blatantly not true.
Competitive is the hardest mode in the game and that is a FACT. If its really not that hard, and doesnt take much effort … then nobody would be complaining about having to go into competitive to “grind” points.
In Quick Play you can 3 stack and “OMEGALUL” your way out doing crazy and ultra-punishable things and roll over people like its nothing. People will leave matches, not care, just afk in spawn, or emote at you or just hide and flame you in the chat etc.
Winning in QP is 100x easier if you have the Competitive mindset than in Competitive. The other way around? Nah … doesnt fly
