Hello everyone,

I made a reddit account because I wanted to talk about Quickplay, Sweat and Toxicity.

So I’ve been playing a lot of overwatch 2 recently and I’ve been on the grind and it’s been pretty fun and rewarding seeing the rank go up even tho the rank system desperately needs the adjustements they’ve been teasing.

The issue is the matchmaking in quickplay being different happens to make me play at a lower rank than what I play in ranked, which is totally fine and would work well if QP wasn’t the ranked mode for casuals it’s actually on the path to be.

Recently I’ve been flamed in chat for about anything and it’s been quite surprising how SERIOUS some people take this mode. I swear I’ve NEVER seen someone sweat as HARD as a Platinum quickplay player and I’m not talking about tryharding or counterswitching cause I couldn’t give less of a fuck about that I’m talking about being toxic and flaming someone for doing poorly, having fun or maybe feeding a little bit.

I need to know if I’m the only one that see this happening a LOT because I’ve never experienced such things in OW 1.

Here’s an exemple of what I’m talking about:

The replay code to the game is “D35AME” if anyone wants to roast my doomfist. I know I should have ignored and keep playing but I think it’s alright to clap back once in a while.

All of that made me think that maybe Overwatch 2 could use a system similar to what CS:GO had.
We would have:

- The quickplay exactly as we have right now (fun mode, casual mode)

- The ranked mode as we have right now (tryhard)

- A third “unranked ranked mode” where you would play just like in ranked games except your rank does not go up or down that way you can play at your actual level without having the “anxiety” of losing your rank. (tryhard, but with no influence on the rank)

That way people that want to have fun can have fun, people that wants to tryhard but not really can tryhard but not really and sweatlords in need of a dopamine shoot can have their daily dose of dopamine rush in the ranked mode.

Obviously there are downsides to it and maybe it’s not for Overwatch but I have hope.

What do you guys think about it ?
