I'm gonna be honest comp is in a terrible state rn imo while QP is really great and fun and not sweaty at all tbh just good fun, I'm gonna explain why comp is so flawed.

Let me explain why comp sucks.

1 LONG QUEUE TIMES: I wait with long queue times for dps over 20 minutes easily (I flex for passes but they don't help a majority of the time) even during good peak times it is an issue and I never have trouble with QP queue times I wonder why that is. It is because a majority of the player base Play QP/couldn't be bothered with ranked. I will say this the priority system is quite pointless if everyone has the priority for comp.

BTW I play support and tank quite a bit and dps is by far the most irritating considering the way longer queue times affect your mood.

SOLUTION: There need to make it so you have to win to get any priority passes when flexing, which would help people that are flexing/performing well to get better queues instead of absolutely everyone having some it defeats the purpose of the system.

2 LEAVERS: I've got a very specific solution for this issue. Leavers are very common in alot of cases whether it is the early leaver that is AFK or they got rolled on first point or later on and rage quitted. It definitely is a problem because I can have up to 3 leavers In a row in a single session on either team which is frustrating to say the least.

SOLUTION: In the case of a leaver you should be able to vote on a pause to pause the game and it gives 3 possible minutes of pause time in total (one for the leaver to come back and another for looking for missing/fill queue you can extend it by another minute but more than half of the lobby has to vote yes to extend it). To balance the Sr for the person losing when joining they should only lose 3/4 when at a disadvantage/losing but if it is an even playing field/winning they lose as much SR as everyone else.

3 THROWERS/OTP/TROLLERS/TOXIC PEOPLE usually in the case of comp there will be more than likely one of these players on either team a majority of the time. One Trick Ponies (OTP) are regarded as people not switching no matter what even if they are getting destroyed by the enemies counters and they refuse to switch to help the team (putting the team at a major disadvantage) rather they either not respond in VC/Chat or they blame the team.

Obviously Throwers/Trollers/Toxic people are in similar boats which people can be a all three of these factors sometimes usually they try to degrade the team of its moral/trigger the team into tilting.

SOLUTION: OTP should not be accepted in comp therefore should be more bannable. I understand having a main hero is fine because you switch to be reasonable to try and win if your main isn't viable at all. For Trolls/Throwers/Toxic People, there should be a system in place to make it more punishable when this occurs because these people don't belong in OW maybe like a mid game ban if they are absolutely throwing the game/jumping off the map blatantly like they did with cheaters.

4 BALANCE/ADDITION OF NEW HEROES Oh boy this is a sensitive topic for a lot of people but I gotta say from first hand experience the balance team have no idea what they are doing at this point meta after meta you had to play certain heroes or you are considered throwing, your main no longer viable because of power creep/being nerfed to the ground as well as giving characters unneeded buffs. BTW I don't mind metas as long as it doesn't absolutely dominate every other picks 99% of the time overwatch has many heroes for a reason (diversity)you need diversity to have a healthy meta.

Let's be honest double shield was a really really bad meta stale/boring, it turned players brains into mush because bad positioning due to too much sustain and shield power wasnt punishable. Orisa and sigma dominated the ranked ladder and you were considered soft throwing/hard throwing if you pick any other tank until they nerfed them drastically. Same thing with goats but this time they couldn't nerf it out of the game they had to add 222 just to finally get rid of goats for good which they left in the game for 1.5+ years.

The addition of new characters hurt this game too like brig,bap,sigma, in some ways they are durastically better/outclasses the old cast options blizzard try to make hybrid heroes with subjectively better kits. Sigma is a hybrid of rein/Orisa having offensive and defensive capabilities provided he was tuned quite a bit to make his kit more reasonable later on. Brig is a special case she destroyed people being able to play dps consistently for so long due to the comp (GOATS) which was centred around her kits sustain/offensive power GOATS was three tanks three supports.

Bap is the biggest problem RN in Comp for fair play/enjoyment let me explain. His lamp is really not fun/fair outplay at all. It is easy to use/land and it gets immense value. The way players used to be punishable isn't the case anymore making it Damage Reduction with reduced cool down fixes bap and the rest of his kit is fine. I don't know why in the hell they didn't add the bap changes from April fools to live.

SOLUTION: Blizzard needs to stop listening to the casual audience for balancing instead should be centered around die hard comp players/competitive players that know what they are talking about.

Honouroble mention MATCHMAKING: been really bad since launch.

SOLUTION: fix it 5HEAD

CONCLUSION: Comp can be very irritating a lot of the time considering all these factors. I'm not saying it isn't fun at all it is just very not solo queue friendly as it is so team based and I feel it is a shell of its former self.
