You paid for the game. Play what you wanna play

If you’re trying and not afking or putting your turret in spawn etc, you’re not throwing and still can’t be punished , if you’re salty over others picks remember they paid the same amount as you to enjoy this game :slight_smile:

Do that in qp all you want, but if you’re going to play comp then at the very least don’t be a sh!tty person and switch, if you don’t want to improve yourself then don’t play ranked. I’m not saying they can’t enjoy the game, just enjoy it in an appropriate setting. Again, I’m fine with an attack torb, but if it doesn’t work switch. Same with Pharah or Genji or any other hero.

Playing off-meta isn’t throwing. Again, stop false reporting.

141

Also , if you dislike picks of others often then there are ways to group up with other players to avoid that , so utilize the tools given to you , everyone has the same ability to find 5 other players if they have a problem with how some players play .

Buddy, I said it before and I’ll say it again. Play your attack torb or sym. But for the love of god, switch if it doesn’t work. I never said that I report these players myself, but I do think it is deserved because you should receive some form of punishment (be it a ban or SR loss)

I don’t have a problem with picks, I have a problem with people not switching when they are being countered or something isn’t working. It is a team game and in competitive you are expected to play to win and cooperate with the team. AGAIN, I am fine with any pick, so long as you switch when it does not work.

Your original post didn’t say you think they deserve to be reported, you just said they will be reported. So either you are false reporting, or you are encouraging false reporting. I am inclined to believe you do both since your definition of throwing is “not switching.”

145

If you do not switch off and stay on a hero that is not benefiting your team in anyway then you are the root cause of your lose. Morals or report definitions aside, you are a bad player and bad teammate if you do this. And objectively they will be reported, people are going to report them whether you like it or not. Or are you arguing that people who do this are really good teammates and deserve to be commended for being the reason for you teams lose? At the very least you have to admit that not switching is objectively bad

You’re not using “objectively” correctly.

I know that “realistically” my posts won’t stops someone from physically clicking “submit.” People reporting for reasons you listed are “objectively” submitting false reports.

I don’t need to argue about what is good or bad teammate, or what is good or bad for the game, because all that is subjective. Accepting reports for subjective reasons is opening the flood gate to abuse, that is why Blizz changed the report categories to try and control it.

I play Competitive to do my best and win. I play Quick Play to practice heroes without too much care for wins or losses.

Most people are playing Competitive to win and then have fun.
