It sucks because:
(i) the 5 stacks don’t join team chat.
(ii) the 5 stacks will blame you whatever you do when you are the solo queuer. No matter how many times you show up in kill feed, no matter how you get the ‘golds’. GOLDS NOT IMPORTANT Yea. If i don’t kill anything your team dps are always the first one to die, who is going to kill.
(iii) the 3 out of 5 stacks c9 and yet still blame you even when you half way from respawning. 2 of them is NEXT to you and BLINDly still spamming “WHY YOU C9 STUPID THROWER SOLO QUEUE GET A FRIEND”
(iv) the 5 stacks don’t have a defensive ult and when we got teamwiped by hanzo + grav they blame who? surprise surprise! The solo queuer. I am not even a bloody healer.
(v) the 5 stack play among each other, giving me no heals even tho I am right in front of their healer’s face.
Please. If you want to play among yourself, get yourself another friend. If not, don’t ignore the outsider.
A way to help this would be to force players into team chat during camp games. No group chat. You could still mute people as needed but this puts players on the same room at least.
It would be beneficial to remove 5 from the game as you could then finally have solo only queue and then group only queue. My god it would be beautiful
Would be nice if there was a way to opt out of being the 6th person on a 5 stack team. I don’t mind being a solo queuer with a 4 stack (although that still sucks) or a 3 stack, but being the only solo queuer just puts such a target on your back.
I once had a 5 stack of 3 plats, a diamond, and a gold. The gold picked Ana and the rest went dps. I picked Lucio, had silver elims and gold healing. I saw that we didn’t have enough healing but I was popping off as Lucio so I politely asked the Ana to switch and she says “f@ck off I’m in gold you can’t expect me to hit shots. I’m practicing. I won’t switch”. Then at the end I got frustrated and said something in voice chat and they reply “oh oh so you had a mic all along and didn’t talk? You f@cking thrower”.
That was the first time they used mic too and they had the audacity to say I was throwing for not wanting to speak after they’d been hurling insults at me all game.
Honestly, while I know no one is gonna agree with me, if the 5 stack is hostile towards me for no reason I would honestly throw the game, Im gonna lose some SR but I know 5 douchebags would lose SR too.
I think most people are doing this already. It’s the only control they have, since Blizzard won’t.
People feel helpless when they realize they’re playing a game-mode of solo-queuing that wasn’t properly designed for a suitable solo-queue experience.
Blizzard won’t fix, nor listen. So, people will throw because that’s the only control they have, causing others grief that will indirectly will affect Blizzard.
I wouldn’t throw if it was 1 toxic person in Solo queue but if a 5 stack was toxic I know that they all deserve the loss, in Solo queue there’s 4 other innocent people that don’t deserve to lose but are just unlucky that a toxic person is in the game.
