so the majority of the games i’ve played tonight i’ve had the other 5 people insta lock 5 dps and refuse to switch and we’ve been absolutely destroyed every time, i’m not one to be fussy about roles, i don’t demand 2-2-2 or complain about attack torbs or whatever, but 5 dps just doesn’t work and I don’t see where the fun is? the enemy team just sends a tank in and you’re just useless so i don’t get how you’re actually enjoying playing the game as someone who’s just dead all the time.
a lot of them are 3-4 stacks who go all dps as well, is it really worth it?
just play comp like its quick play trust me it works . I had 5 dps on my team all of my team wanted me to play mercy and pocket them so I did it . but I played mercy and never healed any one just used my pistol . lol
mostly QP yeah, though comp placement matches are a hell hole for this kind of thing, i think it’s extra baffling to me because I pretty much don’t play any DPS so i don’t see the appeal
For me Competitive is broken at this moment.
After playing season after season filling for tank and healing the amount of tank and healing heroes is really limited.
There’s nothing worse then filling for tank just to see that the genji/widow/tracer one-tricks can’t have any impact at all.
They’re practicing. It’s common knowledge … if you play hero XXX and die 20 times with k/d bellow 0.5, soon enough you’ll be pro player, just keep dyi… I mean playing like you play… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Well, that’s the thing. QP is the only place we can all practice DPS heroes that we may not be that good at. For example, if I want to practice Mei, I’m not going to go to comp to practice, I’ll go to QP. Now imagine I go to QP, and the first 3 games I enter, we have 3 instapick DPS players. What do you think I’m going to do? Play tank for those first 3 games and then hope I can get a DPS slot to play Mei in the 4th game? That’s very unrealistic.
The truth is, QP is a practice mode. So when I go in to practice Mei and work on my walls an right click aim, I really don’t mind what the other 5 teammates do or choose. I’m there to practice a hero I’m not good at and become better
Of course some games in QP I’ll be in the ‘filling’ mood and will pick whatever hero will complete the team comp. I just wanted to give you some idea of why you see so many DPS in QP so much of the time. People aren’t there to annoy others, they’re there to practice and get better.
It’s not as black and white as this. In games where it’s 6 DPS (rare, even in QP), you knw that trying to form a decent comp is pointless, so work on other things, like your aim. There’s always something to practice and work on, but what a lot of people tie their whole qp exp to the end result, a win or loss. If there’s no win, they feel like they’ve wasted their time, which is a shame because there’s a lot to gain from QP. But to each their own. We can’t all see everything the same way.
It’s late here and I can’t use vc because my roomates asleep so I’m about to play some QP while listening to music, and will work on my Tracer play, tracking, etc. And maybe some Mei.
Wrong. It doesn’t matter if it’s win or loss, it’s the gameplay.
When you’re not trying to win, you’re not playing the game, you have your own agenda, but all this game has to offer is … teamwork.
But then again, there’s a leave button as a solution to all problems ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Ever played poker? It can’t be played without real money in it, because players would just go “all in” every hand, and it would get boring fast and everyone would leave the table after few hands.
Yes I have, and everyone who starts learning how to play poker almost always starts with fake money, then once they get better & understand the game, they’ll play with real money, go to casinos, etc.
Similarly in Overwatch, you start practising first, then you start playing with stakes or currency (in this case, SR).
Again, people are just complaining that the practice mode isn’t ideal. Which I agree it isn’t and also shouldn’t be. QP should be left as a stress free, rules free zone where we can play anything we want, anytime we want.
Exactly, and you can only learn if others are trying to win. Same in OW, beating someone who is not even trying is not really something you want while you’re learning.
I don’t see why we wouldn’t be allowed to play anything we want anytime we want in comp as well … We can’t because of Blizzard’s crappy ranking system and even crappier reporting system.
Also, why most people see comp as stressful? That’s rhetoric question actually, I know why - because we’re not competitive community
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
no one actually gets sad if they lose in qp. when i play qp i have my own goals. like flanking the widowmaker as pharah and spawn camping them. or just kill the hitscan etc. also you dont get anything out of winning or losing a qp match.
I pick always Ana then but i never heal them because Ana is still hybrid and you can choose how you want to play until they starting swtich and then they will get heals. It works alltimes. This is not gameplay sabotage and Ana’s darts aren’t “heal only” descripted. It doesn’t matter if people would pick the 6th DPS or play dps as Ana. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
This concept is really good for your nerves if you play always what the Team needs, try it out.
next time a “5 dps situation” comes up just pick hog lol, you deal good damage you heal yourself and you are a tank which is really helpful for the other 5 dps, you could be the distraction for the enemy team while the other 5 dps players try to kill them. this is tried and tested and we won many games.
i mean you also need to count on that some of the 5 dps are actually good
