Quick Play

41.6% of the voters said Quick Play is as good as it should be, 53.7% voted it to appear too casual, and only 4.5% stated it is too competitive.

My opinion is that Quick Play is fun, but I rarely play it, and only when testing particular heroes or trying combos with friends.

Those preferring Quick Play to the competitive mode perhaps consider it too casual as they want more cooperation in their matches, without the try-harding required by the ranked mode.

Solutions to improve Overwatch

Low Priority queue for toxic players

68% asked for a low priority system for toxic players, similar to the one used in Dota 2. I have experience in Dota, and I can affirm that it isn’t of great help.

It doesn’t change the behaviour of the players, but it tries to be such a terrible ordeal they will think two times before committing the same crime again.

In the Dota 2 low pool you must win a determinate number of games to be free. If the entire enemy team leaves the game before the end of the match, it won’t be counted and you need to play more. Dota 2 games are also longer than Overwatch ones, so sometimes you just waste 45 minutes - 1 hour for nothing.

I know that it sounds weird, but the people playing in low queue often leave the match when they are losing. They want to deny the opponent the chance to complete the game and finish their punishment. This is the best example to explain who are the toxic players.

Commendation system

56% of the applicants wants a commendation system for good players like the one in CS:GO.

I don’t think this sort of system can have a real impact on the game because it can be abused. If the developers give a real weight to the commends received, people will just start “trading” them in-game. Commend 4 Commend - pls add me.

Report system and bans

A better report system and stricter bans received 44% and 43% votes. I also agree with the urgency to increase the punishments for those that troll, grief, go afk, and purposely throw the game. If people can’t play with others, they should at least be banned from the competitive play.

Role queue

A role queue is another popular option with 45% of the votes. When queuing for a game you should also choose one or two roles you wish to play, and the game will match you to create a balanced team.

League of Legends added this feature with the 2016 season update: you can select your primary and secondary roles, the position on the map, and more.
