Just adding some wood to the fire here.
To quote Aaron from his latest dev blog " we backfill the missing player quickly in most casual game modes like Quick Play."
I’m curious what his definition of casual is.
Where does it say qp is competitive? We have competitive for competitive, strangely enough… arcade is just to mix things up so we not bored of the same game mode… qp will always be casual and people that think it’s competitive should prolly have gone to Specsavers XD
Where does it say its casual?
Dude you are proving my point about the all or nothing fallacy lol.
Again, mid terms exist. Casual = Arcades, QP is the mid between the 2. Its NOT casual and its NOT as hardcore as competitive.
Can you explain (and convince me) to me how quick play with no rewards is a competitive game mode?
I’ve always said there needs to be a mid core mode that’s identical to comp but without the rank. Forcing the casual mode that is qp to be more competitive without a real casual mode is just lazy really.
You mean more than using the logic I already wrote?
… you haven’t noticed that is called “Unranked” now? The specific section where Quick Play is.
Now within the category, you have Mystery Heroes (which used to be Arcade) and FFA I think so … what of the modes inside “Unranked” do you think its more serious?
Spoiler Alert: Its Quick Play Role Queue.
It always was.
Now its just on the proper category.
Just like OQ competitive went from Arcade, to Competitive (like it should). It cant get more telling than that mate.
Unranked/qp is one round? Ranked is multiple??
Helloooo do you even play this game? XD
Logically most players will see the only competitive mode is competitive.
Nothing you’ve said has convinced me qp id competitive. Quick play role queue does not state anywhere that this is a competitive game mode with punishments. Qp is casual to me. Ranked is the only mode that needs to be treated as such, if blizzard wanted your qp to be a competitive mode then they should probably advertise it as “this game is not for casuals”. End of discussion.

Thats … why its called “Quick Play” my dude, yes.
Did you think its just because of the queues? Because many times Competitive queues were shorter lol.
No.
Only those who don’t understand the game and see everything in black or white.
Not even a developer would convince you my dude. You are hardcore keen on confirmation bias and you are dismissing any FACT that goes against your way.
Again: You are making assumptions that are nowhere to be found and the rules of the game contradict your point.
The fact that they decided to put harsher penalties would be a huge tell for anyone but yeah like I said, theres nothing in this universe that would make you think otherwise so this ends here. You didn’t want to discuss anything. You were never going to change your mind ,ever, and I just proved it.
We know why they take QP seriously. They know its not competitive but if they treat it competitively they win. Its not about fair competition or facing equallly skilled opponents (you know the core of any competitive game mode) but scrubbing wins from the literal bottom barrel because QP wins convince these type of players that their good. Even when they go 1 elim, 10 deaths, 1k damage, they can pat themselves on the back because the random GM on their team decided to carry.

My dad just died, I’m on anti depressents for depression, my therapist thinks I need to do less stressful things. My jobs been making me do 50+ hour weeks, barely eating, barely sleeping, having heart pains that show signs of a heart attack. My families not doing much better, get to enjoy that on a near constant basis.
In the past I would have said OW is my favorite game of all time, at this point, I don’t think I can mentally handle OW anymore, and its a real kick in the nuts to know that the game you used to enjoy with every waking fiber of your being is being taken away from you.
Thank you for being so disrespectful though, really hits home your humanity.

So in your example one side has “awesome defense” - which means they tried - but if someone is trying well and the other doesn’t get to retaliate / turn it around on the opposite attempt then it shouldn’t matter to anyone.
The entire premise is oxymoronic.
If the core game play is team-based PvP over an objective - there is a clear opportunity to win or lose - then there should be an earnest attempt to win.
Saying it doesn’t matter because you can’t switch like comp is irrelevant.
You’re right. Qp is casual. Mind unchanged. Imma continue having fun with it! You continue nue having fun… here XD
Jesus I pity you XD
