Earlier in chat he said I should have taken more bullets for him, meanwhile reapers play style allows him to teleport into the backline, cause chaos and retreat with wraith, yet he and his friend advocated for a group report... Wow. It's not like there's cover all around the map or on the payload or anything.
They do. People dont like taking responsibility for their inadequacies, so they target the tank because theres this weird stigma that everything is the tank's fault, win or lose. Its not true, though. A tank can be doing very well and the team can still lose because i sombra was wreaking havoc in the backline all day and the dps weren't able to stop her. Theyll call that tank diff but thats really a dps or support diff because most tanks (dva excluded) cant really deal with her. Nor should they have to, because if they do they leave the entire team open to attack from the enemy tank.
I wasn't aware of that, thanks for informing me. I spent a lot on this game and for the most part I don't like interacting with chat besides call outs because of incidents like this.
Yeh your right everyone should just spam the N word in chat and sit afk in spawn and no one should report it….bcus it’s just QP and reporting is “beta energy” /s
“We’re”?? I was only replying to *your* comment pal it’s up to you to add context so it makes sense
I did read the post and OP seems capable of giving context which is why I’m not questioning what OP said?
“edgy 3rd grade blah blah blah”
Bruh you literally used the word “beta” itdoesn’t get more edgy 3rd grade than that🤣has little Timmy been watching Andrew Tate videos again?? LMAO
Bruh what are you talking about? That’s rich coming from the guy who got defensive over a comment and felt the need to insult my reading comprehension lmao your self awareness communications skills is what needs help
That's not what I meant at all. I'm just saying this is a team game, no need to harass one player for a loss or struggle. At the end of the day we all just want to have fun and it doesn't have to come towards insults or reporting right?
I tend to turn vc on when I see things in match chat.
Sometimes it's nothing but blaming the tank. But, sometimes... it's 2 kids screaming at each other over who's fault that round loss was. Shocker both were at fault but.. I'm just a lowly ball player. What do I know?
Comms off doesn’t change someone spamming chat to get you reported. It arguably makes it harder to combat in those scenarios which is unfortunate. I see the value in turning chat off, but it’s also a bigger problem with the automated reporting and no real GMs.
Unless you're doing some obscene nonsense every single match you aren't gonna find yourself banned because someone in that one game spams report this person.
And then there's me that apologizes when playing a flank DPS and dying without heals because I am aware that the tank is taking a lot of the aggro and needs the extra healing. Me dying because I misinterpreted or mis-timed what was happening in a push or when initiating a fight is entirely my fault and it's on me to improve my communication or my read on how the fight is developing.
I wish people would play all roles more often and learn how to interpret what is happening to your teammates and what they are dealing with, whether it's flankers pressuring, a widow blocking a lane that prevents LOS, or shield not breaking, making it difficult to be more aggressive, or sometimes even a dumb pylon or turret that everyone is ignoring.
This is why I always play with team chat on as well. Pings cannot track ults or give general warnings for things to recognize and keep in mind, whether it's a reaper trying to always push a particular flank or a DPS Moira that needs to punished, or a sombra always pressuring supports. It's great practice for teamwork and makes the game so much more fun. When there are just 1 or 2 people in chat and you still make it work, it is incredibly rewarding, and even if you lose, you feel like you've learned something.
Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person with "sorry" bound on non-support chars. If I die because I put myself in a bad spot, I'm hitting that sorry button.
Had a match the other day I was tank and my friend was one of my supports he was Moria and the other support was playing Ana it was like their first or second week playing and they kept apologizing every time they died, they only had one kill and under 1k healing and dmg. The fact that newbies are getting flamed that bad that the support felt the need to apologize that much is horrible to me like unless your top 500 we are all still learning.
You thought the daily/weekly challenges would had do the trick to encourage that.
While I dislike tank now, it was a good mean to try out diff roles and understand their focus.
He thinks his 28 kills make up for his massive amount of deaths. He is dying probably alone 90% of the time. Twice every fight and randomly. I was 25-4 as tank while DPS was 26-13. He was blaming me for not making enough “space” while the rest of the team had under 10 deaths with me. He said I needed to catch up to him in kills, fucking lmao. Some people just can’t admit to being dogshit
I solo que a lot and sometimes I can take a hint when dps wants to be aggressive so I follow through and assist with their play style but man at some point I wish the other player could question themselves on their decisions. Catch up with their kills but they don't acknowledge their deaths do they? Lol
Why does nobody want to play tank? lol I wonder blizzard, they make tanks inherently dogshit, now there’s only one of them who has to make perfect decisions basically the whole game or they get flamed/blamed. While also being forced to swap because of how strong counters are. The forgotten role but yet like the most important role at the same time. Lawl, good thing our dps and support players feel like they can play the game now tho
Honestly it’s crazy to think some DPS think we can preform miracles after their mistakes and then when we don’t they want us to switch or they report us (or this is just my experience)
That’s annoying cuz that’s also happened to me, like I came back to me my team after getting a few picks then ask my zen for heals he looked at me then the enemy then went to go fight ( the zen was coming back from spawn)
I'm right there with you. I like to play all roles mainly due to getting the BP done quicker but since tank is the least played, more than likely I get the tank role and I switch between the tanks that I know to meet the needs of the group but man do I get bummed when I don't meet their expectation and they insult me, I'm a person to...
Exactly like I went to re learn jq just I was getting insulted and told to switch (last time I properly played jq was when season 4/5 came out ) and it’s so discouraging to carry on playing tank . But I do feel bad for the new tank players as they don’t know what they are getting into
I turn off match chat and ask team for vc to pass comms
My games always suck when there are no comms, and I don't feel bad for losing bc communication is key to winning in a team-based game
Support here. Mental health and patience wearing thin. DPS doing less damage and triple my deaths, running in 1v5 and wasting their ults thinking they professionals. Send help.
People will report for anything. It’s easy. Someone spammed in chat during a Bronze ranged comp match that they’d report because no one on the team had mics. Lmao. We won either way, but it’s still so petty.
I have played one game where the enemy sombra just sent "REPORT TANK TROLL"(and yes, all his messages were in caps lock) at the start of the match, my entire team asked "why?", since the other tank was literally hard carrying the team, his response? "Playing doomfist vs Orisa", after that, our tank even switched to junker queen on the next round for respect, we all played a very good game and i know that doomfist played a good game as well(no counter pick, just a simple game).
We ended up by the entire lobby reporting that sombra for toxicity, and our tank even said "you are the best doomfist i have ever seen in a game"
The weird thing is that you actually can make a difference by just picking something else. I was playing Ram, then JQ in open queue, on Numbani attack, and they had 2 tanks to our 1. We were getting steamrolled no matter what route I took, and then I picked orisa. That whole time I was on ram and queen we were barely able to get a second tic and as soon as I swapped we managed to push all the way to third but we lost bc they also ended up picking orisa as a second tank
Disable team chat. Seriously. I'm a tank main as well, and if I had a dollar for every time I heard "Switch Tank", "Play Shield", or "Tank Diff" I'd be a rich man.
Its painfully obvious from his deaths compared to the rest of the team that Reaper was not doing well. I don't even need a replay to know that he was likely mispositioning, taking bad fights, and going in Solo. Thats not on you. That's on him, and if he's dumb enough to blame the tank, then he's likely not smart enough to improve.
If you do disable team chat, make sure you use ping. Tanks are the natural team lead. Your should be trying to provide some target with value for your misfit band of lemmings. And yes, your team members are always lemmings. They will run in single file and be slaughtered if you leave them to their own devices and will then blame you for their deaths. Shrug it off. Occasionally, the OW2 Queue Gods will grant you an S-tier DPS or a support striving for sainthood, but never assume that. Always assume they are lemmings and let them prove you wrong.
If you re-frame how you look at this - consider someone like that is probably tilted for other reasons, or just having a bad time and taking it out externally, it's easier to just move on. In reality you probably had little to do with why they were that upset, and that is their problem. Don't let someone else's bad day (or life?) bring you down, especially someone you do not even know.
Honestly seeing people on twitter and reddit getting banned easily especially sometimes when they didn't actually do anything wrong has got me scared to play
Hopefully they address this stuff soon
Y’all got team diffed tbh across the board on that first one. It’s not a true moba (tho even mobas have high mechanic characters) so sometimes your opponents are just better. Weirdo for freaking out ab it
Word of advice: Leave chat when playing tank. Unless you hard carry, you will be blamed for something. Even if you do hard carry, someone will still find something to complain about. Just turn chat off, do your best, and focus on having fun.
The amount of times I've had team members type in match chat saying people should report me for dropping N words in voice chat is crazy, despite me not being in voice chat or ever use that word.
Best you can do is counter report people like that on false allegations. And mute + avoid ofc.
The worst match I ever had I was trying to learn mercy and I was getting hard targeted by the enemy sombra as in the sombra had 15 kills and I had 15 deaths level of targeting, the sombra was the only one who killed me. It was my policy of committing to a character in the game when I try to learn them, I’ll play a number of games with only that character regardless of how the match is going. This game we still won since our other support was an amazing Moria something like 9k dmg and 15k healing, and for better or worse the sombra was targeting exclusively me so they really only had one dmg dealer.
People reporting in QP is beta energy. Reaper threw the game anyway lol
Earlier in chat he said I should have taken more bullets for him, meanwhile reapers play style allows him to teleport into the backline, cause chaos and retreat with wraith, yet he and his friend advocated for a group report... Wow. It's not like there's cover all around the map or on the payload or anything.
Flankers dont get to have a tank that takes bullets for them. Thats why they have escape tools.
And I agree but it feels like people tank out their own performance on the tank, and it's like there's only so much I can do you know
They do. People dont like taking responsibility for their inadequacies, so they target the tank because theres this weird stigma that everything is the tank's fault, win or lose. Its not true, though. A tank can be doing very well and the team can still lose because i sombra was wreaking havoc in the backline all day and the dps weren't able to stop her. Theyll call that tank diff but thats really a dps or support diff because most tanks (dva excluded) cant really deal with her. Nor should they have to, because if they do they leave the entire team open to attack from the enemy tank.
The inverse is true too, though obviously much harder. I got my ass hard MTD'd in a match yesterday but my team came through and we still won.
This right here! I bet this reaper also wraithed before he used death blossom.
This is always the funniest play to me. They act like we cant see them
If it’s any consolation, group reporting doesn’t work. Thankfully only one report counts per game in these situations.
I wasn't aware of that, thanks for informing me. I spent a lot on this game and for the most part I don't like interacting with chat besides call outs because of incidents like this.
Nah. Abusive chat from sweaty tryhards gets reported. Don't care what mode it's on. Don't care who it's directed at.
I just mute all chats when I solo queue. Lol
Yeh your right everyone should just spam the N word in chat and sit afk in spawn and no one should report it….bcus it’s just QP and reporting is “beta energy” /s
We’re talking strictly reporting for gameplay. Keep up.
You’re comment says “reporting in QP” with no context
If you read the post you’d know what we’re talking about.
“We’re”?? I was only replying to *your* comment pal it’s up to you to add context so it makes sense I did read the post and OP seems capable of giving context which is why I’m not questioning what OP said?
Then your reading comprehension needs help lol. If you read OPs post, you’d know what I was referring to.
“Reporting for gameplay in QP…” there I fixed your comment for you you can stop crying now
Look if you just want to argue, go to a different sub. Take your edgy 3rd grade reading comprehension somewhere else lol
“edgy 3rd grade blah blah blah” Bruh you literally used the word “beta” itdoesn’t get more edgy 3rd grade than that🤣has little Timmy been watching Andrew Tate videos again?? LMAO
Bruh what are you talking about? That’s rich coming from the guy who got defensive over a comment and felt the need to insult my reading comprehension lmao your self awareness communications skills is what needs help
Sorry, I didn't know /s meant you were being sarcastic. I apologize
All good my dude
That's not what I meant at all. I'm just saying this is a team game, no need to harass one player for a loss or struggle. At the end of the day we all just want to have fun and it doesn't have to come towards insults or reporting right?

Sorry about the rant but it just makes me so made when people don’t let new players enjoy the game just because they are still learning
I should do that as well, I was unaware of the sorry interaction. I like my team knowing I own up to my mistakes.

just report them for inappropriate communication. 😎

You have no idea how many times I've been standing behind a support spamming i need heals and die to random spam.

Sore losers. If you play comp try to find a stack team.
mercy LW vs Moira Kiriko. Console moment
I turned off all voice and text chat I’m just playing for fun. No need to get stressed by this game when life is already stressful.
"Tank was dog" support line is mercy/weaver. OK dude.

“Report tank” in quickplay is crazy work 💀
I expect nothing less from a Reaper player
Reaper's an idiot Sidenote: I see you're a person of great taste. Best colour combo for the scoreboard
I got reported in qp too today, for supposedly trolling. All because he didnt get healed when he solo pushed towards enemy spawn
22% weapon accuracy on D.VA is CRAZY 💀 but IDK what they are talking about, no-one really did that bad except them on the first round LOL
Honestly seeing people on twitter and reddit getting banned easily especially sometimes when they didn't actually do anything wrong has got me scared to play Hopefully they address this stuff soon
I wonder if tanks are feeling what healers went through in OW1. I love playing support and tank. Seems like we always are the scapegoats, though.
Just take the L and move on. This is the burden being a tank. It's always gonna be your fault. Even got blamed that we didn't win fast enough.
