It’s either competitive or arcade. No in between.
You’re anxious about your rank? Grow up and get a real problem to be anxious about. Put a sticky note over that spot on the screen and play the game.
It would vastly increase the pool of available players at any given time cutting down on queue times significantly.
I’ve just fixed OW.
And made it literally impossible for people to practice a character they’re learning in a format that’s similar to Comp but doesn’t have SR implications.
One thing I’ve learned as a gambler for the past 17 years is that there’s no better/faster way to learn than to put money (read SR) on the line.
Yeah, that’ll get you screamed at by your team and banned for throwing. I know because I only know Mercy and someone took her and wouldn’t give me access to her and I switched to Lucio whom I am trying to learn. Fun times, the screaming really helps one’s blood pressure.
But you gotta know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, know when to walk away, and know when to run. And lastly, you never count your money while you’re sitting at the table.
There are ppl who just want to play with friends in a comp like game. and the friends probably couldn’t normally play together in comp because they are in different ranks. And there are ppl who just don’t like the arcade game modes anyway
I did forget about different ranks stopping people from playing together.
Abolish rank limitations! If 5 diamonds wanna carry a silver buddy that’s fine, they’ll get matched against people who’s SR averages similar to them and away we go.
that will make boosting worst
If there’s two things I’ve learned as a gambler the last 17 years it’s that putting money on the line is the best way to learn and that I hate Kenny Rogers
There’s time enough for counting when the dealing’s done.
So my options become committing to a 15 - 30 minute game or play in an environment with people who play worse than when I’ve downed two shots of vodka at 2am.
how broke are you right now ?
I get where you’re coming from honestly. It’s the easiest way to better the queue times. Now even QP is split between roleQ and classic. Then Arcade, then Comp. Not sure how long OW playerbase can adequately sustain all these modes, but for now it’s tolerable to everyone but DPS. I think Blizz will take 2/3 and run with it.
Better yet, abolish ranked. QP only, play for fun or don’t play. No need to get mad at people for bringing your rank down because there’s no rank to bring down.
I’ve just fixed OW.
That’d be fine too. Sure
There’s not 5 other people depending on you when gambling though.
… you know what I don’t play games for? Stress.
There are if you’re married with 4 kids
“Well, there’s always Quick Play Classic, bro.”
Or, at least, thats what all the Pro-222 players keep telling me.
So, just go play that, bro 
You know, why didn’t I think of that?
You’re anxious? Well, just stop being anxious.
Genius. The world is brighter for this startling revelation.
