“it’s just QP bro”
as the genji dives into the zarya mei combo for the 11th time
As others have said before, there are two mentalities you will run into in QP.
-
QP isn’t ranked so it’s a throwaway mode where you don’t try at all.
-
QP is a competitive game mode without the stress of de-ranking.
Most people fall into category 2 which I believe is healthy. People in category 1 just don’t know Arcade exists apparently which is insane to me.
I go even further and actually try to win (to an extent) in Arcade as well. If you want to just sit and do your emotes or say hi to everyone, please consider going to a custom game.
I do think there is a defense to be made for players who aren’t trying their absolute best in QP though. QP is amazing for players to practice/test out characters they aren’t very comfortable with, so I think poor performance/refusing to swap doesn’t warrant toxicity, especially when they are just trying to improve.
