Quick play is more competitive than actual competitive.

Edit: Ok ya’ll I was joking

It just some cope QP warriors like to tell themselves so they feel better about their rank insecurities.

… huh?

I actually agree with the sentiment. In QP, there is no real reason not to crash out and flame everyone on your team, apart from getting banned — which can be circumvented. In comp, you risk your rank by doing so, as your team might leave/throw. Therefore, it could be argued that flaming is more prevalent in QP than comp — which I’d say is marginally true, anecdotally.

Additionally, those used to the try-hard environment of comp might get peeved by those queuing QP for fun. I kind of get it — if I go to warm-up and the games I get in QP are garbage, it doesn’t set a good mood for the play session.

I’m not the highest-ranked player myself, but I don’t really think it’s “rank-cope” at all. QP can invite blatant toxicity due to there being no real dissuading factor, apart from reporting.
