26 lose streak. I can't win

General Discussion
1

TL;DR below.

I don’t mind losing, and this streak isn’t bothering me right now. But why are the losses already decided on the loading screen? Or by matchmaking who clearly doesn’t know what it is doing.

Seriously, yesterday I had 3 games in a row with suicide tanks. The same today happened plus with dps who can’t hit Rein’s shield and playing Torb on attack in the Circuit Royal. This is crazy. There are times when I’m the only one shooting it and doing more damage than them and managing to keep them alive.

I’m yet to blame the other support for their mistakes. The tank and dps go alone and die there. And me and the other support retreat healing each other. I say ‘‘Group Up’’. They ignore, go alone again and die.

I was climbing with 60% win rate in Season 3 (no winning streaks, no luck) with Ana and Bap to Masters (D4 right now and I think that I will go down below Plat at this rate), playing close matches, challenged by high skilled players, and suddenly all that come to an end and I have to babysitter bad players. I mean, they are not bad, they just don’t want to learn (or are learning) and don’t like to hear advice, or it’s just some big ego. I was in the same position as them.

But I didn’t make this post to shame them. I am here to say that MM is not working at all. It’s worse, it’s the same as Season 1 and Season 2.

Last match I had a GM on my team. He said he waited 50 minutes to play that match. And we got this tank and dps going 1v5, pressing W and getting one shot by Hanzo and Zen every time. And me healing them by distance and hoping they do not die.

Sorry if some of this text doesn’t make sense. I’m just putting a lot of stuff that has been happening since Monday.

I think the game doesn’t have many players, and with LW’s release people Diamond and above are leaving the game early because as you know, this hero has a lot of controversies.

I am concerned about the future of this game in the long term.

TL:DR: The game is not populated anymore and MM is going crazy trying to balance matches.

You’re winning at losing, but good on you for being a good sport about it.

i don´t mean to be rude but i think that losing 26 games in a row can´t be blamed on the matchmaking or “bad luck” alone, you´re clearly doing something very, very wrong

If anything rn, it is easier than ever to climb in this game

I lost 15 in a row and the odds of that are like 1 in 16000. Its matchmaking ,its not you. People want to claim otherwise. Every game should be a coin flip.

Losing 26 games in a row is almost impossible. Odds are that you will have a few games that your teammates are good enough to win a 4v5 even if you intentionally throw. I’m gonna assume this is a bait thread.

No- every game should be 50/50 regardless of your skill. The odds of losing 26 coin flips in a row are absurdly low. If matchmaking was done well, every game would be matched against other people of equal skill, so by your logic, those people also would do something very wrong.

If there is players low skilled than him in his team, clearly there are lower skilled players in the enemy team

the overall difficulty of the match is lower, just farm the bad ones at the enemy team and win

He’s either lying, intentionally throwing matches, or just genuinely one of the worst players in the entire playerbase. No one loses 26 in a row. 10 is a rarity.

first it is clear it is bothering you or you would not even consider posting about it. second after 26 games you should be facing easier opponents. and while there are plenty of people who will mess your games.

but in the end the only constant is you. that means that the more you focus on how bad your team is the less effort you would put in. i had a game yesturday, qp mind you, but was very competitve.

i went widow to have fun with the new skin. and this sombra would not lay off. 1 min left on circuit royal and afer she does not respond to my request to just have fun and lay off, i switched to genji. i continue to instantly kill the sombra, basically carry my team to finish point 1 in ot, and roll to finish point 2 with no lost fight. at which point because i want fun i switched back to my bad widow with a blade. we won the game.

basically, if you are getting close games like you say our do. you are the difference between winning and losing. regardless of the fact that your team is feeding and your healers dont heal you, or you tanks not protect you, or your dps missing every shot.

just relax and remember that even though it is competitive, the point is to have fun in the end. it’s not like you are getting paid to win.

If I lost 26 matches in a row in any game I’d quit. Even in games I’m terrible at I’ve never lost anywhere close to 26.

That’s not impossible. Even in QP I had 12 losing streaks in a day back in Season 1 and 2, and the other day I got 6+ winning streaks. Winning and losing streaks are not fun. Even wins stomping others are pathetic. And I’m sure there are people who can testify to this.

I lose 19 monday. 3 yesterday and 4 today. Right now I’m not engaging in ranked. Just doing my dailies until things with MM go chill again.

The other team had a Masters Widow going 4-0 in just a few seconds and my dps going 0-7 in 5 minutes. I’m sure I can win against a hero who can one shot you playing support. Yeah, I won some of them, but I’m the only one trying. The tank didn’t even try swap to counter her.

I don’t have problems with Widow, Hanzo, Pharah and facing high skilled players before people came here calling ‘‘skill issue’’.

I’m talking about bad MM making unbalanced matches with people coming from Bronze 1 to my games (the dude said it). He clearly said he didn’t want to be there.

You are wrong. You clearly didn’t read my wall text.

QP has quicker games whose maps don´t swap attack and defense and people don´t try at all, people can quit during it and backfills happen, still, if you tryhard, you can never have a 12 streak loss

You can be a doomer and hate the matchmaking all you want, i don´t like it too

but it is a fact, the same way your team has new players/bad players, the enemy team will have equally bad players most of the time. You cant carry all matches, but if you losing 5+ matches in a row you suck or you are having a bad day

Why did you decided that the tank not swaping was the reason of the loss? or the matchmaking? or your DPS

You had LITERALLY 26 losses in a row my dude, i´m sure you could´ve avoid at least 75% of that. Focus on yourself

That’s rough, right.

Back in Season 2 I felt manipulated and dropped the game for 2 months because of MM. I came back to the end of Season 3 and I was having fun again. The matches were decided by inches. Even losing I didn’t feel bad because both teams were trying hard.

But since the beginning Season 4 the MM has been bonkers.

Did you read my text?

I’m not bad at this game, and I’m not the best to carry like Top 500 when my tank (and we have only one in OW2) dies alone. I’m very confident when playing Ana and Bap. And that’s funny you say that because I see Samito and Jay3 etc losing 6 in a row.

I invite you to play some games on South America servers and see for yourself what I’m talking about. Maybe the thing is different on NA and I can testify to this because I played there once and people on NA play differently and use comms.

But that’s not an option for me right now as I live close to Argentina and the ping is 200ms.

I even know a Brazilian Top 500 dps streamer struggling in Gold lobbies here in South America. He prefers playing in NA because of that.

I´m sorry but you can´t lose 26 games in a row and think you´re playing good, you´re not. With the current rank inflation and new players, the lower elo you are the easier it is to climb and win

You already blamed your tank like… 6 times. Do you get bad tanks in every single match? Dont you think that maybe you´re the one that sucks and is letting your whole team die without help?

As i said, 5 can happen, 26 is a skill issue. And samito and Jay3 play at GM level

I´m literally a Brazilian meu amigo, i´m tired of hearing the same discourse as you from gold Brazillians supports. Most of the time when i see their replays, they SUCK and they think they are the ones carrying

stop, look at your replays and fix your bad habits

People rather play in NA in HIGHER ELOS because the match quality is better, because the concentration of competitive people is higher

no high elo player will EVER struggle in South america metal rank lobby

26 loses? Thats not possible, without your MMR being out of the range if your capabilities. My highest loss in a row was 9 or 12 I think. But 26? Jesus!

The worst part is that she swears that it is everyone fault but hers, the only constant variable in all of her games

Idk why, but im returning player. First games was just cake walk, too easy. Then week later everything went south. MMR got screwd or idk what happened. 3 days now without wins. Literally same players in matches, so many boosters, smurfs and matchmaking just doesnt know what its doing. Or is the playerbase just decreased so much?
