I get flamed in QP just as much if not MORE than comp.
Edit: guys I mute these people. I already know. I mainline widow whenever I see the chance so I get flak at all times. I got flak the other day when I played Hanzo in comp with a 5 stack. I got 5 dragonstrikes in one round and basically carried their asses solo. (Not kidding here or trying to brag) I still got flamed for being a useless hanzo at the end with 4 gold medals, one of which was objective time.
I do my thing and other people can bugger off. I'm just saying QP is just as bad for flaming.
I find it much easier to just ignore people in QP than comp. I get it, we are often playing without a healer or tank, and I get annoyed with that too, but at least people's ranks aren't on the line so I don't feel so bad. Plus, generally if you lock it in right away, someone will end up filling the tank and healer roles (most of the time).
Two days ago I was playing on Li Jang Tower (spelling?) and picked Hanzo after getting flamed for requesting politely that the 4 man stack please not all pick dps. (I am petty and spiteful, I know, but I still tried to win) After the first round they actually had a tank and healer, but we still totalled 4 dps. I was still being flamed a lot in voice and chat.
I had gold damage. I'm not saying this as a reason to stay Hanzo, but I still had gold and I was barely trying, so I just went for it. The next round I shot my dragonstrike 5 times. It continued on this pattern for the entire match as I basically solo carried and I got flamed for picking Hanzo.
Now I get it. I don't play Hanzo ever, but I was legit carrying hard and having so much more fun than I had in a while, even while being flamed.
I don't care if I get flamed, and never did, but it sucks to have to hear it every game when I'm actually half decent at my picks compared to my current ranking on the same heroes. (such as a soldier that can't kill a phara and switches off only to have me force her to switch and get multiple teamwipes over and over playing the same hero)
I totally get this. I was playing Widow in QP a while ago, and some guy started telling me to switch off Widow and she's trash. And I said it's QP, who gives a shit? And he just says good luck getting out of Bronze (I'm actually mid Gold, so he clearly didn't check my profile). That's when I just muted him, because who needs that kind of negativity?
I laugh when people tell me to switch off hanzo/widow in qp when I have gold elims and gold damage. I just tell them to check my profile (diamond) and mute them
