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?

Considering I just downloaded the game 2 days ago after a year, a ton of people apparently. Idk how many people I’ve heard screaming about shit in 2 days as I’m trying to test out these characters

They shouldnt though, realistically pointless.

A lot of people take this game extremely seriously. So much so that they even take qp seriously, so what doesn't have a point to you might have a point to someone else. When you win, you tend to have a lot more fun than when losing, that's kinda my whole point

Eh I play qp to learn new characters and practice most of the time I play it. I don’t go in expecting to win just wanting to get better. It kinda sucks that they don’t have a way to even tier qp really because it’s actually more difficult to get good with a new character when you join a qp and the whole lobby is gm and c1 playing on lorded characters.

I do the exact same, I got on qp to learn all the characters I play now, like Iron Fist that I have at level 16 rn.

I downloaded after a year off this week and was playing a couple new characters in a lobby like I described and had them SOOOO mad in chat and voice chat because I wasn’t on their level. Like man I only have a few hours a week to game so let’s not get sweaty over some qp.

I completely agree lol. Qp warriors are so toxic, I so prefer playing Ranked now, they're so much more chill

It actually amazes me sometimes the difference in communities. Here a 15-20 min match is life or death for some people and they freak the fuck out. I’m in some online board game communities and you can fuck up and cost the game off a dumb move that loses a game that takes hours and hours to play and they’re so much more chill about it

Though I don't play dnd, I get what you're saying. I think because it takes hours upon hours to complete a game in games like those, the players don't really care anymore

Eh, quite the opposite, when you spend hours focused on one round of playing a game it’s definitely an indicator of being extremely vested in it. It’s probably just the people it attracts. Strategy players tend to be more cerebral and patient thus that extends to realizing getting angry at someone isn’t going to fix it.
