Supports Throwing Games Non Stop In Quickplay

General Discussion
1

I don’t know if you guys have this but most of my games, supports in my team throws games having with 1/4, 1/3 heals of enemy team, most of the time they are shooting enemies or only heal each other/ pocket 1 person only whole game. They don’t even heal if I am in front of them, they just shoot enemies. This is probably %85 of my games now. Why they choose support instead of dps is beyond me.

I want to leave these types of games but this time blizzard punishes people for leaving games. Quickplay is like a torturing chamber.

Also there should be a “how much healing we get” info on tab but blizzard never does what people want while their games fail hard.

It’s quick play. I get you’re annoyed by it, but I wouldn’t worry.

So I can throw games with no consequences and ruining others’ games? Now I can have fun throwing games like them. Thank you for clarifying things.

You can do what you like. There will be consequences if people report.

But there isn’t any point getting annoyed with people in qp, it does nothing for anyone.

If their behaviour is so egregious, use the reports and move on.

Nothing in your story above says someone’s throwing. Just that they don’t have the stats you want them to have.

So you are contradicting yourself with your own answers.

I would like real players to answer on this topic, not hired people. Move along please.

Not. Really.

Pretty clear.

It’s clear you get riled up to easily based on this interaction alone. Please remember, it’s just a video game.

I have a job, so yes, someone hired me.

But you’re just tilted. Keep your cool and play on.

Tbh most people will echo what Roku has just said, because its the truth. People are practicing new characters or playing roles they dont often play, so if your going into qp with ‘try-hard’ motivations, your just gunna get twisted in knots. So my advice, Learn to be patient and get on with it, then play more comp where your are actually in the same mindset as other players.

This seems too exagerated, usually I have this kind of games 1 in each 5 games.

And sometimes this happens because opponent team is really good we are always dying, not grouping up or playing to separatedly, players doing a lot of 1vs5, in those kind of games is normal supports can’t heal enough.

If not, try to find a group of good players and play more often in group.

That’s not an excuse. Of course, “throwing” can be described but if they are throwing, gameplay sabotage is a reportable manner. It MUST be punished but as we all know, Blizzard does not care.

There are some on here who will accuse you of being me, or in my “group” talking like that lol.

As I said.

People can do what they like in qp. Find you own fun.

If you really don’t like what someone is doing, there are buttons for you including report and avoid.

No point getting annoyed by it.

Practicing new characters or trying out new things, even being a newbie in the game figuring out things are tilting people much.

But throwing is a specific thing. Like a tank constantly diving in and dying. Like a support refuses to play her role and does not help the team.

Just because that’s QP you have no right to sabotage the whole game for the rest of the team.

You mean the placebo buttons that are not working instead of chat abusements.

They work perfectly fine.

People just think they get abused, that tale then spins in to comments like yours over time.

There is nothing in the OPs post that suggest anyone was throwing.

And a tank diving in could well be a non tank player practicing the role. You don’t know the limits of the hero or your mechanics unless you get stuck in.

I’d prefer a player in QP do that rather than be scared and passive. It’s quick play, might as well lose being aggressive.

Let’s say 99 of my reports are false, 1 is correct. Since OW 1, I have seen no feedback on any other report except the chat abuse. I am talking about a real experience, hands-on experience.

It is in the title mate, literally. Check it, please.

Regardless, I have also stated that it needs to be specified. Only, seems like I said “can be” but it should have been “should be”.

I did not say they should be scared and passive but tank responsibilities are more or less specified in a frame. Be the shield of your team, lead them, protect them while you can. Dive in, lurking for kills, etc. are not their priorities as far as I know.

Or support role, no healing, no shields, constantly looking up for KS.

I mean if you play damage, except for the specific heroes, you require support to live and contribute. Either it is from the tank or support…

I am not saying it specifically to you, or I mean no real harm here but I do think there is no lame and dumb excuse such as “It’s only QP”. Why do we have map objectives then? Create a deathmatch option, meet in the middle, pew pew bang bang, and everyone can try out whatever the sh it they want. Do you want to dive? Go on! Do you want pure DPS with Moira, you’ve got it bruh!

Mate. Read the post. No one’s throwing, he’s just accusing them of it.

There isn’t really a thing as a false report. As players we determine what is and isn’t acceptable. Even if you’re being a massive troll, you’ll be targeting someone because they disrupted you in some way.

give up dodingen. he either keeps on the rattling about false presumptions or his friends will eventually report you.

just let it slide, be the bigger man,try to make friends in the process and just ignore this trolls existence.

he has 3 accounts that we know off, if he isnt here on overwatch im sure he is on another social network that feeds his lust.

this may not be something you would like to hear in this situation but the best way to adjust in this type of moment is to choose a hero that has the most survivability.

if you explained to me for instance that you die very quickly then i might pick a hero that either heals himself very fast or is very quick in dipping in and out of the fight.

DPS that can heal themselves would be:
1.Mei
2.soldier
3.reaper (passive)

DPS that can dip in and out very fast would be:

  1. genji
  2. sombra

Well, that’s painful as far as I can see. The title is about “throwing”, the OP describing it as follows:

My man asking me to read the post…

What can I say, I think I have to rest my case here.
