I mostly play quick play in a trio. My 2 Friends are both ranked platinum, I was Masters when I stopped playing Competitive.
I need someone on the Dev team to explain to me why I can’t have decent games, it’s just ridiculous tbh. It’s actually tilting me off the planet.
1- The Random Compositions
Everyone knows this, what happens when you get 6 random people playing random heroes? You get a random game…
Random games with very few healers and tanks which results in people dying out of nowhere very easily, not grouping up, team fights are short and a mess.
2- The DPS Players are usually Bad
I honestly don’t even get surprised when I have 4 golds playing tank anymore… Because it just happens so often. I guess players have got so used to just locking DPS every game that they got lazy. They don’t play to deserve the role they have.
When I play DPS I make sure I’m being useful, if not I don’t deserve to be playing DPS. If my team’s composition is much worse then the enemy’s one then maybe the DPS can’t do much of course, but usually in those situations when I just switch to dps myself cuz I had enough, I end up doing much more then all the other DPS.
3- Flexing Forever
If I was alone, because of the natural randomness of the games I wouldn’t even bother to flex because it doesn’t make my games that much better (I’m only 1 in a team of 6), but I play with my 2 friends as I said before. And I don’t wanna contribute to a bad composition that may result in a bad game for them. This means If I play to win I’ll be flexing 90% of the time and that really sucks.
4- The Cheese Heroes
This has become a massive problem in the game imo. We have reached a point where some games are super boring, unskilled and too spammy because teams have so many easy/spammy/powerful cheese heroes, and it’s just not fun.
Orisa, Brigitte, and Moira are the main problem. All easy to play, all enable other cheesy heroes to be twice as good, like Junkrat, mei.
It wasn’t a problem when you just had one of these in a team before, but nowadays we have teams with Moira plus Brigitte and more and games with this comps are just not worth my time.
Why can’t we have a system that decides which players have to flex in a game, and make everyone flex an equal amount of time? To make sure there’s always good comps.
Why can’t we get New heroes like Ana anymore? Fair heroes, non-easy, not overwhelming and powerful? That don’t make the game suck for the enemy players
Are my games worse because I’m in a trio? I honestly don’t mind flexing in half of my games, but I only wanna flex if my team has built a decent composition.
And when I go DPS I want other people to Flex for me too, is this asking too much?
“It’s just quick play”, “Go competitively then”
I have never heard of a video game where I queue to not have fun, so what is “it’s just quick play supposed to mean?”, aren’t we supposed to have fun games, no matter the mode?
Competitive is not much better than quick play. The biggest reason I left is that I hate to lose SR not by my fault. The game is “telling me” I’m worse and takes my SR away when I know I just lost “that game” because my teammates didn’t care to make a good comp for example. That really pisses me off.
