So I play mostly nothing but quick play. I want to have fun but still try a bit, But I keep running into people that treat the mode like comp.
I play quickplay cause i hate comp and even though i want to win and try to win, I don’t call people out on their performance or tell them to switch, cause i think it’s a rude thing to do in quickplay.
and then the other day I had a ana as our support, I was playing bastion. I had 6 deaths and she comes in at me and says I’m feeding cause i have the most deaths out of the team.
i mean jeez, this is quickplay. don’t treat it like comp and ruin peoples fun.

Because other people want to win more than you do.

QP is being taken more serious as of late partly because there are many “win” challenges.
So now you are hurting your progress by losing in qp unlike before.

Not that i am complaining to others but i do play heroes that counter picks the enemy team since like others said of the “Win X challenges” And since they arent changing it to “Complate X games” you will probably see that + leavers more often.
A LOT of people want to be competitive, but are afraid to play comp. They don’t want to be judged/flamed/etc for being bad in a comp game, but are still competitive people by nature, so they sweat in QP.

Yeah I counter pick all the time, usually try to counter pick the enemy tank, or a problematic dps.
I just don’t understand why someone has to be toxic about someone else’s performance.
or demand a switch. i see this way to often in quick play.
And then flame others in QP themselves
Quite pathetic really
It’s okay to be bad at the game.
It’s not okay to play the game without a serious intent to win. If you join quick play and don’t make an honest effort to win, you’re disrespecting the rest of your team mates.
There are many people who join quick play and don’t put forth a serious effort. Sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference between a legitimately bad player, and somebody who’s not really taking the match seriously. I’ll give you an example.
Your team has a widow maker that can’t hit any of their shots and your team falls behind because it’s basically 4 v 5. Quick play is not the place to get better at aiming with widow. Load up aim labs, or another aiming practice program and spend weeks or months getting good.
Some people will argue that quick play is the place to learn heroes and to an extent they’re right. But it’s not the place to learn high skill mechanics at the expense of your team mates. Quick play is not the place to learn how to kill people with tracer or sombra. Those type of shooting mechanics are best learned some place else, because if you pick those characters you’re only going to hurt your team if you don’t have the skill set to handle them.

There’s always been QP try hards though even before BP. There’s an odd group of people that are afraid of actual competitive but want to treat every QP game like its comp.

Because they are too pepega to play comp, so they act like they play it in quickplay instead.

it is more serious now since dailies and weeklies for the battle pass. i for sure want to win so i can get them done. even when i have them all done im still a tryhard sweatlord. i aint going down w/o a fight. i treat every game like the special olympics
they do it because they are afraid of playing comp so they want a competitive environment that doesnt have the downside of losing rank.
i avoid playing comp on the weekend due to the influx of what i call “weekend warriors”, so im in qp alot. but i dont treat qp like its comp
i just find something to practice so when monday rolls in ive improved somewhat to make my comp matches better.
Because I don’t wanna play comps but still wanna have a match where I play to win.
Not so obsessed by the word ‘‘comp’’ to try to win, if you wanna troll go arcade.

Actually the main reason is because ranked is in such a terrible state matchmaking wise, people have switched to QP instead. And who can blame them.

I get teammates who stand around emoting at the enemy team like they’re playing ‘chill or kill’ or something. Incredibly lame. Instant report.
dude today I was matched in qp vs gm and masters, wanna talk about mm ?
Nobody can explain it in all honesty-it’s in such an unreal mess

Dude, don’t play multiplayer games if you don’t want to win. Winning has nothing to do with “being serious”. It is the core of most of the games.
If you just want to play, then pick a sandbox game without a goal and do your stuff. In every game I hear losers say that quick play should not be taken serious (and they say it most of the time after they played really bad) and if you want to play seriously you should play ranked/competitive. As if QP has no winning and losing team and teams don’t fight over objectives.

And it’s ok for people to ruin other people’s fun by playing suboptimally? I’m not saying that’s what you’re doing, I’m saying some people have fun when they win and others say “It’s just QP”, neither is right or wrong, both are entilted to have fun how they choose to.
Flaming people for no reason is another topic but asking someone to swap isn’t flaming.
