Hey friend o/
I love challenge DPS player with my Mercy too :yum:

@OP :
I don’t really care about what ppl play in my or in the other team.
I try my best, I stay positive with my team and so far I’ve lot of awesome game despit the team comp.

So it’s why I don’t understand all these player who are mad about QP. Sometime we win, sometime we lose.
I play often healer or tank but I can also take DPS if I think we need it.
I already win many game with full DPS against 2-2-2.
I also already win with full random against a 6 stack even if at the start ppl was like “why a full stack blizz, its not fun” then just say them : “it’s ok guy, we’r amazing, let’s stomp them” : We win and it was a very fun game.

All of that to say, don’t give up and don’t focus on perfect team comp, just speak with ppl nicely and motive them :slight_smile:

My English is far from good so I hope all I’ve write is understandable ^^

22

Yeah that definitely happens a lot to me,so what I just do is I just switch off healer or tank into a dps or soldier who can heal himself

23

Funny thing, even if they add role que to Ranked, they won’t for QP.
Like role que will fix this game but lets wait for 2 more years before adding a positive change.
As well as, 6 stacks/teams having a que of there own anything more then duo que in QP just makes the game one sided, same for ranked. Then maybe the casual expirance might be abit less one sided.

24

I don’t let that bother me, I know it’s not an ideal place to practice for real competitive play, since sometimes you’ll get 4-5 dps like you said, but that’s not always the case.

Some players just have a very negative outlook on QP because it doesn’t meet their expectations. I rather not go in with all of these unrealistic expectations and actually use the mode for the positive things it can bring. It’s definitely worked for me in terms of training and improving.

ps: you have rly good tank stats :ok_hand:

25

Ty :smiley:

Well i know it is not an ideal place but you can learn basic of heroes to an extend. For example: i really suck with d.va. And i wanna play all tanks well. So only place i can play to get the mechanics is qp. I watch some tutorials and then put that into practice in qp.

One side of the problem is that i am tryhard. In everything xD

I’m the same :rofl: That’s precisely what qp is for. Watching some guides, like any student of any art or craft does, then practicing it in qp, to sharpen our swords for competitive.

I must be the exemption of the rule, then!

But for what it’s worth I find the same thing so that figures😆

balanced comps are for the weak

QP with “Widow, Hanzo OR Genji”… No, no my friend.

Widow AND Hanzo AND Genji. That’s where quickplay is at :smiley:

And the other team has these too, usually.

So I go Winston, and have the time of my life. :wink:

On a more serious note, I do tend to try support said heroes. I play with the assumption we’re all trying to get better at what we pick :slight_smile: Loosing isn’t bad.

If it’s twice in a row… then Arcade is getting some love for a few games to loosen off and have fun :smiley:

As a main tank, I don’t play QP anymore. I’m not interested in that vast clown fiesta.

I love the challenge from a Mercy when I’m Widow/McCree. When I kill you, I feel amazing (I talk out loud in my room, saying stuff like “YES, SIT THE F DOWN”), if you kill me, I feel humiliated.

32

Now I’m more excited to kill widows.

It’s extremly common to see this division among players in most games with a class/role system.

  • DPS is Common
  • Support/Healers are Uncommon
  • Tanks are Rare

And people are playing DPS because of the dopamine hit called…
POTG

34

Never touch comp games. never

35

And their inner bloodlust too kill… supporting my team for them to be save or to create space or healing them? nah does not involve killing !

36

Currently only playing QP as Zarya because my microphone broke down and I don’t really fancy play comp without comms. Sometimes it’s fun, at least I can deal damage, peel & tank with bubbles so it’s not that bad.

Tried to play Rein for awhile but it was like repeatedly kicking a toothpick under your toe nail :slight_smile:

D.Va is also OK’ish in QP solo queue but haven’t played her for awhile.

37

I think it’s not the killing aspect, more about directly outplaying the opponent, and being clearly rewarded (by the kill)

38

That is not something only for offense heroes to have you know…

39

A rein making space isn’t more clearly rewarding, an Ana hitting a low hp target isn’t more clearly rewarding…
You know what I mean, and obviously it’s not something only for offense heroes geez

I feel quite rewarding to keep my team alive, i feel quite rewarding for having an good engage as a tank.

Outplaying your opponent you do as a team but i know most people who play only offense heroes try to 1v1. Like the Genji complaining about Moira, the Tracer on a Brig etc. Never understand that playing aim based “skilled” heroes or offensive heroes generally makes people somewhat feel more special.

We are all sitting on our butt holding a mouse and pressing some buttons on the keyboard.
