I feel like this is an oxymoron. How can it be one-sided if you are of equal skill?
Well, there is a baseline level of competitiveness in anything that has a two or more people playing against each other. This is the reasoning that the devs use to justify things like penalties for leaving the game early/afking/etc.
I agree that, in a general sense and in my personal opinion, QP is not competitive, but unless the punishments for non-competitive behavior are removed, then the game should also provide similar benefits that the ranked side of the game has.
