Quick Play is trash. I cannot play in this mode. Everyone is simply doing their own thing, and it does not feel like a team game or a team effort, thus I am forced into Competitive. That's simply the only way you can enjoy the game for what it is, or at least what it is supposed to be. I am not an one trick at all, since I play all support heroes, 3 tanks in rein, winston and dva, and multiple dps in 76, genji, tracer, doomfist, pharah, reaper and some mcree if I feel that I do not completely suck.
This does NOT mean that I am good or even close to good on those heroes, and my rank simply reflects that. I can fully understand an one trick player that does not want to play anything else, and noone has any reason to not co-operate with them: it is much worse to be able to play most heroes and pick what you "feel" is better, as in picking Moira while you have a Pharah and a Genji, and even a Silver like me will tell you in hero select that your pick simply won't work.
Picks must be made by understanding how the game will play out. With that said, if someone is a one trick, there's only one viable and logical way of playing that match: build around the person. They are a 76 one trick? Pick Ana to nano him, mercy to further boost him, dva to stop missiles from reaching him and 1 other dps that will counter what your opposing team has picked. They are a torb? Awesome, pick Orisa, Rein, Mercy & Moira and laugh.
The team not cooperating with their teammate is simply ignorant. A team must acknowledge their weaknesses and their strengths and adapt. If your strength is a Torb one trick, invest in that strength. Not doing so, will simply lead to your defeat as a team. At this point one may say: "Why shouldn't the one trick co-operate with the whole other team?". It is simple: if they are a one trick, putting them on any other hero simply won't work for your team. That player has been matched with you, so they are of the same caliber as you, and that's how they decide to play the game. If you don't want them in your team, simply make one! It is that simple.
Lastly, remember that this is a generally mediocre game, and you're not playing for anything other than an arbitrary number that generally amounts to nothing plus some bytes that happen to be golden on a screen.
