what are you even trying to insinuate here
Well they attempted to fix the matchmaker (not saying they have) but there’s 2 options better match quality or faster ques.

I’ll take the longer queue times for better quality matches any day

But unfortunately we never got it, which is why everyone quit resulting in higher queue times

The circular logic of trolls. “Matchmaker sucks, who cares about low queue times when games are unbalanced” “Games take longer to find now that matchmaking is tighter, game is dead” This is why these forums will forever be ignored

Clearly indicates the game doesn’t have the player base to match people in quality games. I don’t get how ow struggle’s so much, unless they’re lying about how many people play the game. Never once had this problem with league in the last 13yrs.

Whatever you say bub. My games don’t feel any particularly different from now compared to OW1. OW1 wasn’t some magical perfectly matchmaked game either, but whatever floats your boat

I’ll take fast queues. There’s no such thing as consistently good match quality in solo queue.

Do any of you lot even play OW anymore? Anyone on PC will tell you that they consistently still get <1min queue times and <4min at MAX.
The only time I ever heard of someone getting >10min was a console player who turned off cross platform play or the super rare time the thing says something outrageous like >10min, then you immediately leave role select and go back to role select and it goes back to <1min times again.

At least in ow 1 i wasn’t playing with masters and top 500 players when i was plat. The match making in the game the last few season has been shocking. My D1-Masters healing game’s have golds and plats.
Not even in gonna get started on gm tank game’s.

Exactly the only incentive to play ranked is for “gold guns” other then that you might as well play qp since there is no difference in match quality between then 2.

thats funny because it existed just fine in ow1, with much much much much much more consistently better matchups, i can only count handful of games that one or the other side was being steamrolled in ow1, in meme watch 2 it happens pretty much every single game

Yeah, my memory runs the other way. In my experience, the number of steamrolls, in either direction, was about the same. The old platitude of “30% of games are unwinnable no matter what you do and 30% are unlosable…” didn’t suddenly appear with OW2.
On the other hand, 15 minute DPS queues did disappear around that time.
I don’t doubt the numbers are incredibly low after the crap show OW 2 has been, but I can’t say I ever have issues finding games quick. In fact, the only time my queue times go higher than 3 minutes is when an update drops which kicks everyone in my region causing it to jump to 20 minutes waiting time.
But then again I’m just a console Plat so…

I’m getting 10 second queues in Diamond.
Even on DPS. And this is Role Queue PC.
According to your logic: this must mean the game is alive & well.
-
OW2 Season 1 had long queue times but peaking in popularity
-
OW2 S2 gave us 1 minute queue times and trash matchmaking as bad as bronze players in diamond games and gold players in gm games
-
People quit
-
S3 and 4 boosted low rank players to cover up the bad matchmaking
-
Intelligent people saw right through it and quit
-
S5 tighten matchmaking skill a small amount but too late because the population is already down to dead OW1 levels
No trolls here bud, just reality. The devs killed their one chance at reviving overwatch with bad decisions. It’s over.
better queue times btw
