Alright, I went into ranked matches, 20 matches played. What do I see here?
ragequitting Genji after one lost teamfight;
afking tank at base because he did absolutely nothing but screaming in text chat;
in some matches dps did LESS damage than our and enemy supports did;
some stubborn individuals who refuse to counter pick against enemy Pharrah hile we have Junkrat and Symmetra.
This is just some examples. I do understand I wasn’t perfect at gaming but rageleaving, afking and refusing to re-pick…
Thus I have a question. What is the difference between ranked and non-ranked gamemode outside of the possibility to earn special currency for weapon skins and a title that shows you are a Gold or a Bronze player? Gameplay wise and if we are talking abou toxic behavior, the matches are the same as in non-ranked. At least from what I see, I get this feeling. But somehow people who queue into QP believe that they can throw in QP and start screaming if you ask them to heal/tank/do damage. And hide behind “this is QP” excuse telling you to go and play ranked.
Which rank are you? Considering you have only played 20 competitive games, I would assume your skill level is pretty low. There is definitively a difference in the way people play in competitive versus quick match. The fact that you cannot pick up on this makes me again assume that your skill level and general understanding of the game is low.
Playing in competitive gets you matched with people that are in the same skill bracket as yourself. When you playing QP it is more random. You could get matched with beginners and/or very skilled people. People might be trying out a new hero or trying to improve certain aspects of their gameplay, while still facing real human opponents.
You could also say that playing in quickplay, you only really play half matches since you never get to switch sides on the map and give yourself or the other team a chance to play from the other side. Therefore caring about winning/losing in in quickplay is basically pointless.
What makes you think you can decide if someone should switch or which hero someone should play? Counters are not everything. A skilled Dva vs. an un-experienced Zarya, doesnt necessarily mean an auto-win for the Zarya, even though Zarya is supposedly a given counter against Dva. It is all about understanding the game and adapting your gameplay accordingly. Also, know that the numbers in the game-report does not mean anything. There are dps making plays and carrying games not by dealing loads of damage, but by making the right plays/decisions at the right time. Just as there are supports that are carrying games without having massive amounts of healing at the end of the game. As your understanding of the game increases you will start to see and understand this. Dont be a noob and get wound up over numbers, try to see the bigger picture.
About toxicity theres not really anything you can do. There will always be factors in life that you cannot control. I suggest you grow up and instead of focusing on the behaviour/mistakes of other people, you instead focus on your own. I guarantee that you still have plenty of room for improvement.
Remember that if you are consistenly losing games it is nobody elses fault, since the only factor those games have in common is yourself.
This is the misconception you and others want us to believe in, which is completely wrong.
Yes, some bad players may be the cause of their losses, because they are bad, but there are lots of us who are better than our visible ranks, but are held back by really bad, random teammates.
The overused argument of ‘git gud and you’ll climb’ is so moot.
You can get real good and you still can’t carry the team to a W, because it requires the entire team to win team fights and push the objectives, unless you’re on a silver team while your natural rank is GM-t500. It’s a team based game and winning is the only way to climb.
As for QP, who are you to ruin my time by refusing to help the team win? Why are you wasting everyone’s time by joining my QP games only to throw by playing DPS Moira, DPS Ana refusing to heal your teammate? Who are you to ruin my time by refusing to help the team win by playing passive Rein, Feeding Rein, Feeding Doom, etc? See where i’m going with this?
If you want to learn simple mechanics, go play vs AI, Hero Mastery or visit the practice range, instead of wasting everyone’s time. That’s literally what they’re there for.
QP is comp without ranks and a wider matchmaker. The goal is still to win each match. It’s a competitive FPS whether you’re playing ranked or QP.
Excuse me, how is that my fault? I was told by QP players to play ranked matches if I want serious gameplay. I tried ranked matches and it’s not different.
I just faced someone who picked DPS role and upon asking to switch because he didn’t do anything useful, the answer was “why are you so serious in gaming?” when it’s not QP, it’s a ranked match.
The other match right after that after asking allies to help eliminate enemy pharrah (because I was given a support role) I got an answer “I don’t care about if it’s win or loss”.
My question is NOT losing, but player’s mindset overall. So when I play QP and wanna gets wins in QP too because, as challenges dictate, winning gives faster progress, but I am being told to chill and I am being told to play ranked.
I literally switched onto ranked gamemode and it’s the same as ranked. Players who do not care.
You need assesment of the situation like the ppl leaving your games. Infact you could use some stack (blasphemy!) play.
Find a Dva player, they play to win and seen it all. No “sweet baby” (you wanted to replace sh*t with something else, there you go) sherlock they do/did. (Dooms will rage quit a month before a dva even considers it, if ever, when you counter pick them) Dvas will fight on with a Zarya, sym, mei, zen opposing them. Alternatively Rein players. Good ones are even better than a DvA, but rare.
Second find an ana player, if they are an ana player they have seen it all. Like avoid mccree sleep before stun clutch, nano though that tiny gap. They know their ins and outs on maps. Will clutch you on/as Juno as well.
Third, this is the harsh lesson, DPS has the biggest pool of diversity. You need to adjust to the situation quickly. You dont do that, then DPS is even more religious about their picks than their tanks!
You are in some serious denial… Youre having trolls and bad people in your team every game? Or just 50% percent of them? Listen to yourself mate. Dont come here and tell me that the reason YOUR rank is low, is somehow someone elses fault, just ease of on the copium please hahaha. I get it - Some games you get trolls and leavers, but the same goes for the other team. Or are you saying that you are cursed and the trolls and leavers show up ONLY in your team? Get a grip and get guud.
And why do you noobs care so much about winning in QP? As I stated before, it is a one-sided game, as you never play the maps from both sides. Considering the fact that many maps are asymmetrical makes winning/losing completely pointless. (Apart from the small ego-boost which might be what you people are actually out after.)
Just because it is YOUR personal goal is to win the game doesnt mean others feel the same. Someone else might just be training their aim or testing new strats - All of which is perfectly FINE, because winning/losing in QP does NOT matter. I mean they dont even track your progress smh, it is just casual.
The reason you people are so upset about QP is because you are afraid to go ranked because that would actually prove how good/bad you are at the game. You guys would rather live in denial over in QP-land where you can blame other people for your own failiures. Having a Bronze 5 badge on your profile makes it a lot harder to maintain the illusion that “I am good, but my team is not”. As stated before, stop blaming other people for your own misfortune or you will never achieve anything in life.
Edit: it wont let me type in the last paragraph so it is unfinished. Oop. My phone is so bad lol
Literally no.
Just no.
You cannot control other players. No matter how much you flame them. Stop blaming others for your losses. Because guess what. If you get 12 losses in a row (or smthn similar) the common factor is usually you. Srry to tell u the truth.
You can control your gameplay. So that is what you can focus on and blame. As that is the only thing u can. So then when you do get ur oddly consitent team made up of ‘useless’ players.
Because there is a thing named End User Licence Agreement, a thing called Terms of Service and something called as Ban Policy? They have same rules applied for both ranked and casual matches. There is NO sentence that says there that playing in Unrated activates “trolling perk”.
Yh. But you also have to take into account that the majority of QP players are young children (9 and up) who just want to go pew pew and have fun. Or your average 9 to 5 working citizen. Who doesnt have enough time to learn the game extensively. Most of the time in QP people arent trolling. They are just trying to have fun and chill out. The last thing they need is somebody flaming them for trolling when all they wanna do is relax and play a chill game of QP and mess around abit.
Do you understand how matchmakers work? In this case, the rigged matchmaker that OW2 uses? The same type that they use in Call of Duty? No? I didn’t think so, either.
I barely touch comp anymore. I prefer to scrim, because at least that’s far more enjoyable than having my time wasted by toxic people like you.
these people and their logic… honestly… i wonder who feeds them those lies. im pretty sure that guy is constantly watching overwatch league and thinking he is now the smartest one in room… he is not.
if people constantly refuse to play counter watch in which case you can automatically lose the match then yes… the team is to blame.
some heroes work better in certain situation then other heroes. it doesnt necessarily mean it always amplifies the situation when someone does exactly that. im merely stating that whenever you forcefully play genji against a symmetra or a zarya that you just simply cannot block the damage and will likely die easier when your E abillity does not work.
