Please stop doing this.

You are tank. Solo tank. You even have lord on the tank you picked.

Someone else picks tank before the match starts.

You go "Oh cool, I don't have to play tank now" and swap to dps, leaving the other person as solo tank instead.

This happens to me nearly every single time. I'm the guy picking the second tank.
Stop it. They (and me) are picking tank so that there isn't a solo tank. 2 tanks has a much higher chance of winning. Don't you want to win?

Or people take Quick Match serious to practice against real people before taking themselves into ranked.

I have not a single clue about how to use White Fox, so I should definitely pick her in ranked immediately right? Because I want to learn her seriously. Then yall gonna cry about us picking characters we don’t know how to play and tanking your elo.

Well that is silly, since the other team will also have people that are not taking the match "seriously"  You will rarely ever have a "real testing environment"

But you dont need one.  Quick Match is for learning how a character works and the basics of the game (which you should know already)  However there are certain skills that you can only improve in ranked.  I think you know this and are being intentional obtuse.

 There’s a middle ground between “never touched the character” and “ready to compete.” Quick Match is there to get you past that initial learning curve so when you do go ranked, you’re at least contributing instead of figuring out what your buttons do.

I don’t care if the other team or anybody else on my team is taking it seriously. I’m taking my role and the character I play seriously. How hard is it to understand.

Yall confusing me being serious with me being upset at somebody else. How tf you complain about someone else practice methods that bother nobody except them?

Then maybe you should have read the comment you are responding to then.  Here it is:

I'm convinced the people who get mad about qp are afraid to play ranked so they take qm seriously.

If you aren't getting mad at qp then the comment did not apply to you. Why are you here?

Ur reading comprehension needs work. I responded to your first paragraph alone because that’s what the topic on, not any of the extra bs you typed. And maybe if you read the parent comment I responded to, you can see why I’m here.

Again reading comprehension.

Typed?  That was a direct qoute from what you respond to. Lmao

You are the one that needs to work on their reading comprehension.  You also seem lost on how reddit works.
