Why Does 6v6 Comp Use Open Q Ranks?

General Discussion

I have only just got round to trying ranked 6v6 and it’s taken my rank from open Q. Why?

I played open Q because I found it more fun than role lock when tanks actually you know, died and I’m in masters. So now if I want to play ranked 6v6 which I’ve waited 3 years to play by the way, I need to start in MASTERS (which alot of top 500 players in role lock were diamond in the matches I was watching). So I’ll more than likely be tanking my open Q MMR while I get used to it because you’ve removed the QP 6v6 option and I’ll also be indirectly throwing matches since I don’t know the major team comps etc. for this format.

Why on earth would you not just have 6v6 comp be it’s own MMR? I can also imagine that the quality of matches is all over the place because alot of open Q players quite frankly didn’t understand core fundamentals of the game even at ranks like diamond as they just brain afk’d 3-4 tanks every match.

It’s completely put me off even trying the mode when I know I’m going to be steam rolled for the first couple of hours and I don’t want to put others through me trying to learn different comps and strats on the fly.

It’s fine because there was a rank reset!

Anyways, a nearly 30 game loss streak later, I am pretty confident in saying that the rank reset is faker than the love this game gets from content creators.

Is it directly tied do you know or is 6v6 comp staying around and open Q being replaced entirely? If that’s the case I will give it a try but I have a feeling it will only be there a couple of weeks then be gone like normal.
