Gerrard, playing what was his last game at Stamford Bridge before leaving Liverpool for the LA Galaxy in the summer, was given a standing ovation by the majority of the home support when substituted in the 79th minute.
But some fans also held up "caution, slip hazard" posters during the game, referencing Gerrard's slip in the vital 2-0 defeat against Chelsea at Anfield last year as Liverpool chased the Premier League title.
"I'm not going to get drawn into wishing the Chelsea fans well, it was nice of them to turn up for once today," Gerrard told.
"I was more happy with the ovation from the Liverpool fans. I think the Chelsea fans have shown respect for a couple of seconds, but they've slaughtered me all game.
"If you get a standing ovation at a stadium it is always nice, but what is always important is the support from the Liverpool fans, and they've been with me since day one."
Gerrard, who will play his last competitive game at Anfield for Liverpool against Crystal Palace next Saturday, insists the club need investment in the summer to improve.
Having finished second last season, the club are now all-but out of the race for the top four.
QPR have been relegated from the Premier League after Sergio Aguero's hat-trick consigned them to a 6-0 defeat at Manchester City.
The R's needed a win to stand a chance of staying up, but were behind after just four minutes as Aguero finished from eight yards.
Aleksandar Kolarov’s trademark free-kick put City two up after 32 minutes, before Aguero added a second from 15 yards and completed his hat-trick from the penalty spot after the break.
James Milner hit the fifth from close range and David Silva rounded off the win three minutes from time to confirm City's top-four finish, as QPR taste relegation for the second time in three seasons.
