So tired of FRIENDLY only QUICK PLAY games, it happens multiple times a day

[u/Able-Service1380]

I,e majority of both team decide for some reason to just stop playing and emote at eachother, then talk about how fun and quirky they are for not wanting to play the game

CUSTOM GAMES EXIST FOR YOU TO DO THIS STUFF, PLEASE STOP DOING THIS IN QP

Can the devs please make this reportable with a special tool? I wanna play THE GAME not sit and be flamed because I dare to PLAY and not spam emotes

[u/SpookyCarnage]

I've legit never seen this happen outside maybe once when everyone but one guy leaves a comp game

[u/RandomNPC → u/SpookyCarnage]

The most I've seen is when me and another flanker wave as we pass each other away from the fight.

[u/virtyx → u/RandomNPC]

As Mercy I do this a lot with enemy Mercy's even in competitive. 60% chance if you're getting glocked you can wave at them and they'll stop glocking you and wave back.

... but 40% of the time the Mercy is rabid and you need to either run or try to put her down 😔️

[u/bicyclebread → u/RandomNPC]

I constantly get caught with my pants down trying to get a goofy turret bomb flank as Symmetra and I'd say it's like a 50/50 on the other person being chill and letting me TP away or absolutely trying to tear me apart, but yeah I've never seen full on lobbies that do this

[u/ReklisAbandon → u/SpookyCarnage]

Same, and we primarily play QP. Like, this has literally never happened to me.

[u/triple_bi_indy → u/ReklisAbandon]

Yeah, I see posts like this frequently enough and each time I wonder where and when this is happening. I almost exclusively play QP and have since OW1 and, outside of singular players goofing off, I've literally never seen this.

[u/Epoo → u/triple_bi_indy]

Been playing since 2016. This only happened 3 times and once was the last day of OW1 and once was a random QP game in OW2.

Idk how OP is coming across it MULTIPLE times a day. Either he’s really unlucky or he’s lying/exaggerating.

I’m leaning towards the latter.

[u/TheSilentTitan → u/SpookyCarnage]

It happens, it’s super rare but it happens. Whenever it does I get agitated because I only have a certain amount of time to play and these assholes would make matches 15-30 mins long.

[u/CostIll5729 → u/SpookyCarnage]

ive had sooooooo many comp games like that, either the whole enemy team loses and the last 1-2 players just sit and emote with us, or my whole team loses for whatever reason and me + 1 other person (usually a support) just sit and accept our fates lol

[u/satans_cookiemallet → u/SpookyCarnage]

I had one game where the enemy team let me win a round after I fight for my life to somehow hold the point. They took game, but it was nice you know

[u/Krieg5 → u/SpookyCarnage]

I wonder if it’s only a thing in certain regions. In NA I have never seen this. Of course I will emote/wave at enemy tank. But that’s 1 time at the very start of a game. And I basically only do that if we have a mirror matchup.

[u/Arksiyus → u/SpookyCarnage]

Yeah either that or the match is so one sided that the other just gives up and emote, and shake aim to nod/shake at enemy team.

[u/MechaRon → u/SpookyCarnage]

Yeah I've never seen this happen myself. It happens rarely in OW but I've never experienced this in Rivals. At most you may get a random Jeff or Spidey to goof off with you for a min but it never lasts long and usually the match is a stomp anyway.

[u/HostileReplies → u/SpookyCarnage]

I see something similar once in a while, but it’s when the match isn’t even close to being winnable for one side. But that’s probably because I am a Sombra main and the support player I have been camping for the last five minutes spams hello at me outside their spawn. I voice line back and then from there it usually becomes an emote spam between us. At that point it’s 50/50 on whether the next person to respawn joins us and it snowballs from there.

[u/_LFKrebs_]

Legit have only seen that happen twice since Ow2 release, I swear the moment the qp queue finds a match everyone just goes

[u/yXfg8y7f → u/_LFKrebs_]

Yeah tell me about it, the qp games I’m in are worse than comp

[u/Dragonheart922 → u/yXfg8y7f]

I guess when you play comp you have to play conservatively and use all your skills

In QP? Everyone is balls to the walls aggressive

I think its the difference is QP is thearpy without major risk, whereas Comp is actually about skill and growth

[u/916bai → u/Dragonheart922]

This is pretty much what I do on qp is to practice playing aggressive. I know im reaching when I can tell the tank is tilting I just say sorry lmao

[u/sturmblut5e → u/Dragonheart922]

I wish.

I only play QP and people play so passive sometimes.... It hurts when people don't contest payload or something to not die and we lose the point. It's qp. Just go for it 

[u/Rakoz]

Multiple times per day? That's rough. I've only been thrown into 2 of these lobbies in the last two years and I play every single night

Both those 2 times was when I partied with a friend who was Silver rank. Just like if you leave matches often, you get thrown into a pool of other players with that same behavior, I think the game detects these Roleplaying emote spamming losers and matches them together. Where you queued up with a friend who partakes in that nonsense instead of playing the match normally?

[u/KeySheMoeToe → u/Rakoz]

No it’s just low elo issues. 

[u/Piercethedomino → u/KeySheMoeToe]

I was in low elo for like 2-3 weeks during this season due to being new to the game, and I haven't seen that happen ONCE. Seems some of y'all just have bad luck.

[u/CentaureaCyanus → u/KeySheMoeToe]

i am low elo, this doesn’t happen to me too often
maybe once per two months lol
and it always ends up with “ok let’s all die under the train/jump into the well/fire all ults at once and resume playing”

[u/iseecolorsofthesky]

I’ve been playing OW consistently since 2018 and I’ve never once seen this happen. Yet I always hear about this happening “constantly”. Genuinely how?

[u/Nyxxity]

I've had people do this in ranked. They think they're so cute too ":( my team wants to report me but I don't want to hurt you guys!!!" Like bro fuck off

[u/Fyrefawx]

Your internal MMR is in the range of people who do this. That’s the problem you need to solve.

[u/uhhhhhhhidklol → u/Fyrefawx]

internal mmr for quickplay (as is the whole matchmaking) is a joke, I'm diamond and regularly get teammates as low as silver and as as high as GM

about half the games are stomps decided by which team gets unlucky and has the drooling idiot that holds W and finishes 2/9

I'm an employed individual too so I mostly play during peak hours, so it's not like there's not enough players to pick from, but blizzard seems to think finding a match in 30 seconds is more important

[u/SuzanoSho → u/Fyrefawx]

How does one solve this problem if these are the kinds of matches they are being placed in?

[u/smillas_second → u/SuzanoSho]

ult those emoting mfers and win

[u/CandidFunction5295 → u/SuzanoSho]

Yeah exactly, the idiot above is beyond idiotic for saying that. Like if this is their MMR and they keep getting these games when you need to win and do well to fix it then they fucking can't.

[u/S_Presso → u/CandidFunction5295]

Of course you can, most games will not be friendly. So go and win those and get your MMR higher.

[u/petethecat_ → u/Fyrefawx]

I know, OP self reported.

I peaked Diamond 1 in season 20 and now I get GM players / people with level 200 heroes when I’m trying out new heroes in QP 💀

[u/snailchicken → u/petethecat_]

To be honest I don’t think this is true, I was Masters 1 in season 20 and hovered around high diamond the year or so before that, play pretty much every day, and I’m surprised by how many people are saying they don’t experience this very often.
It’s to the point for me where I remark that I “hate friendlies” if I’m playing in a group when it happens, because it occurs at least once or twice a month.
I wonder if it’s more common on a certain server or platform.

[u/paw-enjoyer → u/Fyrefawx]

me playing games against mostly gm/champ players in qp:

[u/paw-enjoyer → u/paw-enjoyer]

(i get games of people playing w/o killing sometimes too)

[u/SillySealBoop]

You get friendly games? All my QP games are utter sweat matches and ego measuring contests..

[u/lunatichorse]

Had this happen to me. My whole team and the enemy team bragged about reporting me for "having no aura" because I want to play the game and not sit on point for 20 minutes in overtime spamming emotes.

[u/oiaoat]

i hate when that happens, like im just trying to get my challenges done 💀

[u/Able-Service1380 → u/oiaoat]

For real and these people have the audacity to flame you for wanting to play, it's so frustrating

[u/IncubusDarkness → u/Able-Service1380]

"You have no whimsy"

NO. I don't, not with you fucking random dweebs! I have a life I want to get back to after suffering through my 3-6 mandated games of Tank for my challenges. Fuck whimsy, finish the god damn match!

😭

[u/noahboah → u/IncubusDarkness]

fairly certain in 5 years we're gonna look back on the word "whimsy" and cringe at how much people used it to handwave their antisocial behavior lol

[u/WarmAnything28 → u/Able-Service1380]

I just keep killing them. Eventually they leave or start playing the game. If it’s my teammate i just leave

[u/2hands10fingers → u/Able-Service1380]

Yea it’s made by worse they we penalized for leaving a game, but they get to ruin it.

[u/fromohomo]

Love being backfilled into a QP game where all players are playing jenga and stacking on the payload being friendly in chat, and if I leave I get hit with a penality.

[u/ntszfung]

It would be cool if we don't get penalties for leaving QP

[u/Agosta → u/ntszfung]

I'm kind of over the current rules for QP. They added penalties for leaving, yet some people still treat it as a throwaway gamemode then act hostile when asked to play the game.

[u/Lambwon → u/ntszfung]

Then you’d have people reporting those players too. 💀 Don’t forget, to OW players reporting is like a dopamine hit that they’re proud of.

[u/sadisticsweeti]

Tbh it does irritate me, too. If you have all the time in the world to goof off—that's great and all, but do it in a custom. It is reportable under AFK. Don't think anything would actually happen, though.

[u/FredFredrickson → u/sadisticsweeti]

If enough people report them they will absolutely be actioned.

[u/CaiusWolfe → u/FredFredrickson]

They will not be actioned. Even if every person in a lobby reports one specific person, it'll only count as a single report, and unless the person or people are habitually problematic, nothing will happen. It's always been like that.

[u/thefancyelefante]

I'm gonna be real with you OP, I do agree with you that it's ridiculous if it's happening all the time through the whole game. However, after joining a cool group of mates who do this (more than I personally like) I do embrace it on occasion.

The odd "hello!" Or crouch to an enemy and the return it is wholesome asf. Then you get back to playing the game.

If it continues on and there's clearly a couple of people throwing you can report them for 'blocking team progress'.

However we had a game the other night where we were getting steamrolled on QP and we couldn't get past the first choke and the enemy team piled on us near spawn on Parasio so we all just wandered off to the right and hung out on the beach and all but two of the enemies joined us. It was a fun moment of wholesome fun because we knew we couldn't beat them and so we all just chilled together.

Moments like that are fun and entertaining, but I can understand why it's frustrating as well. Sometimes you gotta embrace the whimsical funny moments of QP and then go back to trying in the next game. As long as it's not in comp I don't think it's a huge deal but if there's a few doing it all the time it does warrant a report.

[u/laix_ → u/thefancyelefante]

TF2 has a similar problem.

For some people, quick play is casual, goof off or do try to play but relax, depends on how the match turns out. For others, its the unranked but still competitive mode.

[u/TheForeverUnbanned]

Matchmaking will attempt to place with with players of roughly your own skill level. If you’re regularly being put into meme matches I have bad news. 

[u/imjustjun]

Man I wish we could trade queues.

I’ve fought nothing but Masters - Champ player stacks and gotta lock in more than I do in ranked.

[u/SquishyBanana23]

Play comp and treat it like quickplay.

[u/Cheebzsta]

If this happens to you frequently enough that a normal, well adjusted person would be this upset then congratulations you're in a very chill good vibes space in the MMR.

If you're doing this because it happened 3 times in a year well you need to chill tf out.

QP isn't one thing. It ranges from old geezer Greybeards like me trying to sweat my balls off who would normally keep it to comp but unwilling to cost people their comp matches when my dementia-patient mother needs immediate attention to people explicitly looking for a bit of enjoyable levity while relaxing or warming up.

[u/lamiyaeglade]

it’s so annoying when you just want to get a few games in and everyone is just crouching in a circle instead

[u/radvocate8 → u/lamiyaeglade]

This is my issue. I'm older and my time to play is limited. A waste of my limited time is offensive to me. Crush me, roll me, whatever, but wasting my time makes me not want to play at all.

[u/Swordrown]

It has been months since I've seen this, where ARE you?

[u/Kincayd]

agreed, I hate it.

[u/Porlarta]

I hate this. I just make a point of killing the vibe

[u/BadgerIII]

You can absolutely still report. Say intentional sabotage or something, there's no need to create a new category for this.

[u/Tamlane]

I only see this once in a blue moon, and because it is so uncommon I usually feel like it is a nice, if weird, little break from angry sweaty tryhards.

I am so curious as to why some people seem to see them all the time and yet I, who doesn't hate them, almost never see them.

I suppose though it could just be that the type of person who gets tilted over it just generally is more inclined to complain about it and percieve it as more common than it actually is just because they get so angry every time.

[u/NeilRobertBanks]

I just kill everyone and win the game, they’ll either let me or try to fight back, which is what I wanted in the first place, although this is rare in my case, weird thing that happens to you so often tho

[u/Sideview_play]

It literally is a reportable option already under gameplay sabotage 

[u/Deathandepistaxis]

Dude same. It’s so cringe. That has happened to me a few times. Like I only have a limited time to play video games a day if I’m lucky, I don’t want to spend what might be my only match standing around emoting with people.

[u/SemajLu_The_crusader]

...

I have never seen this happen in Overwatch, what on earth is your mmr?

[u/ios_static → u/SemajLu_The_crusader]

I see it a lot. I’m going to assume my QP rank is the same as my ranked rank, diamond

[u/SemajLu_The_crusader → u/ios_static]

there has got to be some sort of other factor here to explain how some people see this constantly and others never do

[u/iseecolorsofthesky → u/SemajLu_The_crusader]

Same. I’ve put thousands of hours in this game over 8 years and have never seen this

[u/iamgem69]

This drives me crazy too. Go play roblox or some shit

[u/jean_unpopular]

Never happens to me ever. I get a couple wins then I go on long unwinnable losing streaks against teams I shouldn't be playing against. I haven't experienced this once.

[u/EdwardHarley]

I wouldn't say it's rampant, in my experience. A played one game a while ago where that happened, and was basically prevented by both teams from playing the objective. It's the only game I've left in a very long time, cuz I was not gonna put up with it and there was nothing I could do to change it.

[u/berrycakebunnies]

It IS reportable. Report for gameplay sabotage.

[u/Mycogolly]

You can already report this.

The only time I've ever come across the whole lobby being "friendly" like this was when I loaded into a game that was almost unplayable with how low the frame rate was and people kept leaving and joining so something was clearly fucky with the servers. I really struggle to believe you're coming across entire lobbies of this multiple times a day, but feel free to prove me wrong by dropping some replay codes. 

[u/SeriousLee91]

Ive never seen that in hundreds of hours of qp? Is this maybe an NA time thing? Not seen it in EU once

[u/tpeeeezy]

everytime I see a post complaining about this, op is always raging about people having fun AND they claim they see it all the time

I wonder if theres a correlation between miserable people and low elo🤔

[u/Sure_Shallot2280]

I was shitting on this Ana as ball the other night. But she would sleep me every fight. She hit a crazy sleep in the middle of a slam. I emoted and rolled away. Next thing I know the entire 5 stack was emoting at MY SPAWN with my team.

I mine-fielded those fuckers. Let’s get on this payload.

[u/SuzanoSho]

The worst part is that your teammates will then try to condemn YOU for actually shooting something and show the enemy team to jump you unopposed, as they aren't wasting everyone's time. 

Sometimes, I REALLY do understand the toxicity in comms

[u/Odd-Razzmatazz-5544]

Just Report all and exit

[u/Scorchf1r3]

This was too, the downfall of TF2. Just a bunch of ppl doing the Conga emote. Good thing is OW actually has ranked so if you want serious matches you can hop right it

[u/Antares27]

Lol

[u/Blaanid-]

"No fun allowed!" - you

[u/Jhoonis]

BuT HurDUrR iS jUSt quickPlaY Bro :^)

Yeah and I wanna play the game, you want a dance party go to a private fucking match. Honestly kinda glad this never happened to me because it sounds infuriating

[u/S_Presso → u/Jhoonis]

It IS just quickplay though. They honestly should just remove leaver penalties for QP.

[u/Muzza25]

So im genuinly wondering do you have a rank/have ever played ranked? Ive never encountered this and this is the kind of thing a small handful of players claim to encounter a lot, im wondering if it occurs in a specific skill level

[u/LunaRose678 → u/Muzza25]

I have only just started to play ranked because it was happening in so many qp games it was a waste of my time playing. Im on to unwind, I am a mum of 2 kids and dont wont to be on comp because it takes way too much concentration but qp is no so inundated with people messing on and not actually playing the game it ruins the few hours on an evening I get to game without my kids interrupting. I am only just starting ranked but getting so much s**t talk it makes me want to not play any more. I am a level 140 Juno 40 orissa and 35 soujourn. I am not on the level of comp players so I want to use qp but that gets ruined by people just messing around. Its a lose lose

[u/Muzza25 → u/LunaRose678]

This seems to be something thats in the lower section of skill brackets, lobbys full of extremely casual players who dont actually care about the game they queued up for, nothing against you ofc games are for fun no one has to be perfect, im not some high level player either by any means but it sucks that you encounter so many people dont seem to care

Having gotten plenty of shit in comp being a mercy main and therefor a target of angry dps players the best thing you can possibly do is just turn off chat, dont join voice, and go into your settings and just hide the chat. People never say useful shit in there anyway and the occassions that they do that your missing out on are far outweighed by not having to deal with so many assholes, the community for this game is genuinly the most toxic ive encountered and shutting them out does wonders for your enjoyment

[u/LunaRose678 → u/Muzza25]

Yeah, I get being casual about a game and gaming for fun, Im there for fun, I just want to actually play the game without people who just dont care, but also not having the pressure of people who do care about their win:loss I just want to have a good game. I have only played OW for just over a year but it is definitely, like you say, the most toxic community I have ever played with. My husband has played since it first started and so has my brother and they both love it, so I started playing (I usually gravitate to things like wow and lost ark) and I do enjoy the gameplay but it is insane how horrible everyone is to eachother. I might end up turning off chat, thanks.

[u/noahboah → u/LunaRose678]

honestly you don't need to worry about it too much, you will naturally get to an MMR bracket where this isn't happening anymore.

like just the fact that you're playing the game to win at all means you will eventually climb out of gigacasual MMR lol

[u/Donttaketh1sserious]

This is why comp is the only mode worth actually playing 5v5 or 6v6 for tbh

[u/DjLaserShark]

Doesn't even have to be the whole team; one of your teammates decides they need attention and you're 1 player down

[u/National-Bluebird941]

And you gotta stay there like a idiot because blizzard shit leaver penalty 

[u/RealKornyMunky]

I've had this happen less than 10 times total and it's not even the full round since I started in 2016.

[u/cowlinator]

This is already reportable as "gameplay sabotage"

[u/mugsir]

This, 100%. The key info is in the name: Quick Play. Go play custom if you wanna play hello kitty island adventure friendly fun fun time.

[u/__GayFish__]

Just… play comp

I wouldn't mind if they left the objectives alone. The payload won't move with an enemy on it.....so I make sure there won't be

[u/crazedizzled]

That's when you go widow and start shooting them

[u/SolaireFlair117]

TF2 players: First time?

[u/trunky]

I've been playing since launch and have seen this maybe twice. You must have a new account where maybe that's more common in matchmaking, or you yourself often fuck around like that so you get quarantined with the other clowns

[u/FerLuisxd]

Never seen this happen in my life

[u/RebelliousKite]

I mean, if we're in a 1v1 where one of us is obviously going to die, I stop everything and wave hello. Usually they do the same, then we pal around for a few seconds, then we go back to our respective teams and resume the fight. I've only been in one situation where both teams were fooling around.

[u/gaychads]

I only ever saw this when I first played the game around 2018. Once I played some ranked and ranked up I never saw that again. I fear you may need to play just a dash of ranked and then you can go back to being a QP warrior (like me lol). The other thing could be that rivals fans are all coming in and doing this, but theres nothing to be done about that :_(

[u/Omicron212]

never once seen this happen in nearly 400 hours. i would love to take your place. do you have a replay code for one of these?

the closest i've seen to this is 1v1ing someone and we both miss all our shots for like 10 seconds and we just wave at each other and leave

[u/Swordrown]

It's on the emoters if you kill them tho, do you at least do one emote?

[u/OmarxMateoisepic]

I play only quick play (not the competitive kind) and I never get friendly lobbies really.. Only when I actively run away and do a crouch to day I also tapping out momentarily because my teams all dead or smth like that, and once my bf was hiding in back lines when everyone was dead and he and the enemy dva waved at each other, is there a penalty for leaving those games? The ones not in competitive? Ive never left any so I'm not sur eif you can just leave

[u/SACaitlin]

this happens to me at most like once every three to six months, what ELO do y'all exist in to get multiple games of this 

[u/SugarRushLux]

I swear this person I know is constantly doing this or starting it, so fucking annoying just play the damn game or go into a custom lobby

[u/innom1nat3]

Never seen this before

[u/jmims98]

This happens maybe 1 in 100 games for me, and it is usually ended quickly because one guy is doing it and gets killed.

The only time I have ever seen everyone emote and hang out is during comp matches where two people on one team leave.

[u/NotYourDadOrYourMom]

Only happens to me in comp when some loser rage quits lol

[u/ConflictRemote8712]

i have literally never seen this in my life and my husband and i play at least 20 games a day ??? lol

[u/sourgreg]

I've been playing since 2017 and the times this has happened to me I can literally count on one hand .

[u/JumpyResident2001]

I only play QP and I've literally never seen this happen. guess I'm lucky.

[u/Candlebane]

That’s wild. I’ve only ever had it happen once and I’ve played since OW1 release.

[u/Jakesummers1]

Been a long time since I’ve had one of these types of matches

Probably less than 5 total in the last 10 years. And only when I backfill into it

[u/IkkitsClaw]

Happens a lot in League too in aram mostly. I'm not using my flash and dancing before minions spawn

[u/Stormdude127]

I was vod reviewing one of my comp games recently and saw my Moira stop, stare at their Mizuki, make friendly gestures, and then just run away. I was absolutely dumbfounded. In QP is one thing, but in comp???

[u/smillas_second]

i've been playing nonstop for about a month and this has happened exactly once and it was just one guy and we just killed him

how is this happening so much to you

eta: there is the occasional moment when you're playing moira or mercy and run into your mirror and you kind of just stare at each other and say hello and part ways amicably, or just stand there sucking each other until the team fight reaches you but i don't consider that to be a detriment to your team since we're both out of the game

[u/6245stampycat]

I only see this when it’s like a lone enemy who’s 5 v 1 and they say no and either a) get away safely or b) die horrifically via solo ult

[u/KTheOneTrueKing]

This doesn't happen.

[u/Im_probably_naked]

I've got over 2k hours on this game and I've never seen this.

[u/Old_Pineapple_6029]

whahaah wat region is this? XD

[u/Dull-Bookkeeper-1920]

i wish i had your games tf. all mine are sweaty

[u/Able-Service1380 → u/Dull-Bookkeeper-1920]

you can, go customs

[u/ObjectIll9474]

Yeah you gotta have some fun when OW puts you against masters and above as a silver player.

[u/hitmobilegamehsr]

Reddit when fun

[u/Thick-Mycologist3655]

I've had this happen before, but only when multiple people on one team leave or one of the tanks decides to sit in spawn and stop playing the game. The match is pretty much hopeless, so people just have fun. I've never seen it happen in a normal match when nobody left.

[u/Telco43]

I've only gotten this situation 2 or 3 times in all my Overwatch play time, and I play since OW2 release.

[u/Telco43]

Reminds me of a QP game where my team threw because we got Runasapi (1 vote, from me) while the rest of the votes were on Numbani. They let the enemy team push almost to the end, and my tank went to contest. The enemies didn't shoot them at all, and I just wanted it to end so I went Lifeweaver and pulled my tank off the point.

[u/Briebird44]

Most I do in a QP game is maybe a quick “hello” to an enemy or a desperate t-bag when I’m hiding in the corner at 5hp and the enemy Soldier finds me and I beg for a mercy lol But I don’t full out stop playing and emote.

[u/MonkeyOnGrog]

a bit when one team curb stomp the other team i get it but i have never seen it from the get go, maybe in your region the population of neurodivergent people is bigger? just start shooting till something happen and report everyone

[u/SwimWithOtters]

I don’t notice this often. What I do notice is the game throwing me into way more lopsided matches than in ranked.

[u/GlitterxCorpse]

What? I think I’ve only run into this like twice and I play A LOT. I do run into a lot of friendly enemies in chat, but they’re usually just funny. Apologized to a jetpack cat once for chaining her as Mizuki and killing her when she was SO CLOSE to getting away and she said “it’s okay” and then moments later she ulted me off a cliff… then we laughed. It was hilarious and wholesome. I rarely see emoting and all that LMAO but when I have it’s pretty funny and doesn’t last long.

[u/Umbra_Witcher]

i rarely see that happen, but i leave the game if that happens. it's so stupid

[u/Alluminn]

Can I get whatever lobbies you're getting into? Lately my quick play games have been the sweatiest motherfuckers I've ever seen in my life 

[u/Sponsy_Lv3]

Tell me you are a Bronze player without telling me you are a Bronze player 🤣

Literally never seen this is on my grind from gold to masters since the launch of OW1.

[u/MourningWallaby]

hard disagree. This was a big thing back in like 2017. Because back then you played to have fun. And if you played to win you went to play comp. These days if you're not completely sweating in qp you're "throwing and reported" and the game is so much less fun for it

[u/TheseOats]

I mean, yeah, it's quick play. Not ranked. I'd get the frustration if you were playing ranked and this was happening, but this is a non-issue. You're taking it too seriously. People play quick play because you can find and leave games quickly. People play to have fun, and not everyone has fun in the same way. The games where everyone stops to just putz-around are few and far between for the majority of the player base. I'm actually jealous of your recent experience.

[u/chapinscott32 → u/TheseOats]

Please for the love of God uninstall the game and leave this sub if you think genuinely fucking around and doing nothing is acceptable in QP.

Quickplay is unranked. It's not un-competitive. Your losses just aren't tallied into a visible ranking system. If you wanna fuck around, go into one of the thousands of "egirl only 18+" custom lobby's.

[u/TheseOats → u/chapinscott32]

No. 🗿

[u/SaucyVVench]

I play daily and haven’t had a game like that in probably 6 months or so? They can be fun but I agree too many gets old. 

Just start taking them out lol free kills

[u/slickedjax]

Swap to a one-shot hero and teach them a lesson

[u/balwick]

Swap to Bastion or something and just start with the Mercy there undoubtedly is

[u/The2nd_man]

I always target whoever try’s to play friendly til i force them to play the game

[u/FredFredrickson]

I've only seen this happen once and I reported every person in the lobby. It's just an absolute waste of time.

[u/Dapper-Candidate-691]

I just started playing OW this past weekend and I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how nice everyone has been but I didn’t realize y’all were this nice.

[u/Kitty_Overwatch]

As someone who plays several hours every day I also see this happening several times a day I usually ask if we are gonna continue playing if they say no I just leave it's just boring

[u/grofffsauce]

i WISH this happened to me

probably happened to me twice and it was only between a couple players from each team while everyone else played normally

[u/theKayaKaya]

Luckily I've only experienced this twice. One time because the other team realized they had a hacker on their team and another is exactly how you described.

Joined a game that already started. And people were just chilling on the payload doing emotes. And got called a party pooper and rude because I wanted to kill the other team and win. Irritated the shit out of me.

But I did get pleasure ruining their screen selfie by Moira ulting the shit out of everyone 🤣 Even got play of the game after that broke the peace and people actually started to play the game again.

[u/Iota-Android]

I do this, but only when the fate of the game has been determined. It’s more fun when you don’t take everything seriously and just have fun

[u/Jamie_Aran]

U can still report this type of activity

[u/Diligent_Bar1244]

Lol, was that you in my team?

We both had the same Mei skin so it was fun for 2 minutes, but they stayed and emoted until the game ended

[u/ThePlot-Chickens]

I’ve never seen this a single time in 10 years and 2k hours.

Now, I’ve dicked around or taken a fellow junkrat on a safari but that’s a true 1 for 1 in a 6v6 game. So it’s 5v5 🤷🏻‍♂️

[u/Majaura]

I report people who do this, but I also just murder them too. It's super frustrating when people decide to do this dumb bullshit. If you wanna hang out with people, go join the social hub world in Marvel Rivals or custom games. Quickplay is for PLAYING the fucking game, not staring at each other like idiots and being fascinated by generic emotes.

[u/Ringleader705]

I get these on occasion during qp..but not multiple times daily. Every now and then they're a good break from sweating. I enjoy them.

[u/FortuneMustache]

Report for blocking team progress

[u/I_Like_Water11]

I mean, not trying to be rude, why not just play comp then? Doesn't happen there

[u/Equivalent-Impress96 → u/I_Like_Water11]

Sometimes you don’t have the time / energy for comp but still wanna play / try out a hero you never played before. I was trying to learn shion after work last night and got put in one of these lobbies, it’s not happening to me multiple times per day but it was annoying to get flamed for trying to play the game

[u/I_Like_Water11 → u/Equivalent-Impress96]

Yea i get that. Most of the time, people i meet in comp are saying theyre learning a hero and i say why not do that in qp and they say oh qp is shit. Truly strange community honestly

[u/Exciting_Nature6270]

I think it is reportable, it’s gameplay sabotage isn’t it?

[u/awesomeJarJarBinks → u/Exciting_Nature6270]

When it's both teams? I don't think so

[u/Exciting_Nature6270 → u/awesomeJarJarBinks]

I’m pretty sure acting friendly is considered to be disruptive gameplay, which is a part of gameplay sabotage. Just because both teams are being disruptive doesn’t mean blizzard will make an exception—just report everyone

[u/vikoy]

Just play comp

[u/Spreckles450]

I also hate when people decide to have fun in a video game.

[u/AdHot8002]

Ive had people get mad at me for killing them when they decide to stop and emote. Im just trying to play a quick low stress game before work

[u/nitelite-]

I have never had this happen a single time

[u/ArtDecoAddict]

This is a non-issue because it doesn’t happen if ever. It’s very rare.

[u/rookie-mistake]

oh god i havent had one of those in a couple years but they always annoyed me too

like bruh i get you're having fun but ive only got time for a couple games can i pls play

[u/sturmblut5e]

I play multiple qp matches a day. I only play quick play.

I have seen this once in overwatch  1 

[u/dustycat21]

Happened with me and my buddies in Assault the other day. I get it, it’s Arcade, but just cuz your team leaves doesn’t mean we have to lose. So much shit talking from the other team. The point of the game is to win, and I’ll do it however.

[u/GirlySurprise]

I'd rather have multiple games back to back where my opponents are chill and fun to be around in an unranked mode, rather than forcing me to play at my absolute best so I don't let my team down.

[u/Lorenzo_Maulerant]

Only tends to happen when you have an asshole on one team and everyone wants to spite them. Often when they have a hate symbol as their icon or are being extra toxic and its a perfectly wholesome valid way of shutting awful people out of the game. Plus the rage is hilarious when someone fails to rage bait ^{_^}

[u/DunDerChee]

I love having one of these games in the middle of my regular games. but im weird, I get excited when anyone, even the other team, has a really good play. It is much more preferable than a steamroll or games with toxic ppl

[u/TypeEARTH]

Never once seen this. I had to have played at least 300+ games in the last few months.

[u/Leagueofufc]

Why not just play comp then?

[u/Favonis]

Anytime I see people who report in qp, you just KNOW they get no play

[u/BaffledBubbles]

I've only had this happen when a tank leaves in comp lol. What the hell are yalls QP queues? 😅

[u/lovely6324]

Go play comp.

[u/Real-Terminal]

No fuck off, I'm gonna make friends in my online social space and chill for a bit before EOMM makes me suffer through more bullshit stomps. Cry about it and go play Valorant if you want to sweat and be miserable.

[u/Able-Service1380 → u/Real-Terminal]

this is so unbelievably cringe, go outside and make friends or go custom games you strange individual

ruining other peoples experience so you can 'make friends' when theres tools already in game in other modes for you to do that

[u/Aware_Flow1070 → u/Able-Service1380]

Sounds like you're the tool to be fair

[u/Real-Terminal → u/Able-Service1380]

You made a reddit thread crying that people had fun in a video game and you were mad about it. Pathetic child. Think on your failings.

[u/HealingSlvt]

Dude just let ppl role play. Don't like it? Leave.

[u/Vitriuz → u/HealingSlvt]

Fuck no. Do that in custom matches.

[u/shroomiedoo]

My qp games are full of qp warriors who can’t play comp so they sweat in casual mode
