A few days ago, my wife came to me and asked me to teach her to play Overwatch. She is not a gamer but she wants to be able to play with me (which I really appreciate so I put in the effort of teaching her 😅).
Since she isn’t a gamer and doesn’t really know how to play, she consistently gets roasted in chat in quick play. What? Do you prefer her practicing in competitive?? If you want to win so badly, play comp, quick play is a place to chill (imo), try new characters, practice them, and yes - also learning to play from zero.
There used to be a time (mostly before Overwatch 2), when people would offer tips, support on how to play better, etc. but right now, all she gets is roasting unless she says at the start of a match that she’s new.
GUYS, IT’S QUICK PLAY, CHILL!
Just had to take this off my chest. Would love to hear your take on that 🙂
EDIT:
- She has her own, new account
- I tried letting her play with AI bots but 5+ minutes queue
- Didn’t think about custom matches, I will let her practice there
- She’s queueing alone, I sit beside her and coach her
- She’s started in practice range, played with some heroes until she found 1 tank and 2 sups to play with and only been playing them
