Wanting Public Profiles IS NOT TOXIC

For the last time I’m going to say something that should be common sense.

There is nothing wrong with having an objective look at all 6 players on your team and determining a suitable team comp based on the factors of your team.

The most common argument i’ve seen and what i’m going to address is
“No one has the right to see my stats and I can play whatever I want regardless of the playtime or stats on specific hero”

Sorry to burst your bubble but no,
When you impact 5 other players with your hero choice it isn’t considered toxic to want the people with 200+ hours on dps / tank / support to play
their respective roles instead of having to fill something you usually main.

Want to play x role that you don’t usually play? PRACTICE IN QP/ARCADE or buy an alt account and play it on their.

BY PLAYING SOMETHING YOU DON’T USUALLY PLAY YOU HAVE NO WAY TO GAUGE YOUR SKILL WITH IT AND ARE MOST LIKELY DRAGGING YOUR TEAM DOWN.

This isn’t toxic people, it’s basic common sense.

I have no problem letting people play stuff as long as they have the stats to back it.

The only people who have private profiles now are one of the following;
Special Snowflakes who think its their ‘right’ to disallow their team basic information.
OTP’s or throwers who want to hide their sr / avoid getting reported.
Cheaters or Hackers (Used to be able to look at their stats and see if they are hacking but now you can’t)
People with something to hide.

And I think all 4 of those types of people are making their team have a disadvantage from the start.

I’m tired of mercy mains (because honestly its by far the most common type of person who have private profiles) be like “omg i’ve had enough of filling for my team, I may be a diamond mercy but I’m pretty sure this character i’ve played less than 3 hours of in my life is at the same skill level”

Sorry to burst your bubble but it’s not, if you main a character that doesn’t require aim (mechanical skill) and instead relies on positioning and game sense more so than others and you then try to play a hero with A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SKILL SET you are without a doubt going to drag your team down and I will report you for it because you are intentionally playing something that you know you can’t play to the standard that your sr requires of it which in my opinion is gameplay sabotage.

Don’t get me wrong I love playing pretty much everything on the hero roster and find enjoyment from everything I’m just tired of snowflakes thinking they are above the rest of their team.

Your wrong. I don’t wok around with a little profile next to my head in real life telling everyone what my job is, how much I get paid and my hobbies.

People need to ask, and I need to trust them before I tell them. I like that its like that in Overwatch too now. People can’t make rash judgments just by looking at my profile. It’s nice.

I main every hero, there. Now I dont have to open my profile to public since we all know this now and can move on with life. XD

I get what you’re saying, but tbh getting information on someone, especially a coworker, is super easy. If I want to know your strengths and weaknesses, I can observe you as well. That’s not an option in Comp because if you observe them being bad, you already lost

Okay, snowflake.

Your totally emotional opinion is a bubble of common sense in a sea of “random” opinions.

We’ve seen this post 1000 times, private profiles are not going away, and if you want only people with public accounts, LFG is your friend.

My profile is public btw.

Are you sure trying to force people into certain heroes isn’t toxic? Your definition of toxicity is wonderful.

It’s not toxic if we’re not wanting you to play someone you’re not good at. Switch to quick play if you’re trying to practice
Edit: Or Solo Queue

I also made a post on this but some people say “oh give the tracer with 2 hours a chance. she could be using an alt account.” but some of the arguments I have read are severely stupid.

How is a person supposed to get experience on heroes if all you let them play is their main?

Ok
I do that. I become good enough to play it at the “appropriate level”. Now what. Am I still not allowed to play it on my main in comp just because I don’t have comp hours purely because of you people not letting me play them?

If you’re doing good with your main play them (ex: play reaper a lot and as long as I’m pulling golds/silvers in slims/damage then I stay reaper unless we could really use another hero I swap to get that hero in the comp

3 hours on a hero is plenty to take into comp.

im not trying to flame you but if that is your mentality your probably gonna stay in bronze/silver I’d be surprised if you made it even further

But that’s my point.

I’m not a Reaper main, I’m a Mercy main who’s also good at Reaper but never gets the chance to play him.

If I’m constantly refused the chance to get my comp hours up, how am I supposed to convince people to let me play them in comp?

I said reaper as an example because I play a lot of reaper, you should play reaper if it works with the comp and your damage/elims are good (silver or above) but if the team is carrying you then you gotta swap to a hero you can play

Quickplay is horrible to learn how to play a hero. You can only train mechanics in QP, and those are special for just a hand full of heroes. And while you are learning your mechanics, you are getting a good dose of bad habbits on the game-sense front because QP is nothing like Comp mode.

Don’t be condescending to people as a gold, mate. You’re really not much better than silver players.

I used private profiles sometimes and I’m an Rat/Hog main so about that Mercy mains only used private profiles part.
