I didn’t know 4+ stacks would sometimes verse no players in QP. You learn something new each day I guess

I’ll explain it to you… 4 stacks mean 4 people are grouped… 0 stacks (2+) means that no one is in a group.
Go back and try again.

I thought it was amusing. Doesn’t really matter that you thought it wasnt funny since you mistyped. That being said, it happens, matchmaker isnt the greatest but we already know they are working on a new one that was being tested when Bap was on PTR.
It’s just quickplay dude, you will be fine.
Why should QP be the mode that no one cares about… It’s THE most played mode in OW.
Then maybe you should have said “4+ Stacks against Solos” (lone players) instead of zero.
Did I say no one cares? No, but it is the designated chill out mode since there is nothing to lose. I’m sorry QP is your main mode to play, that’s not really anyone’s problem but your own treating it too seriously.

You’re right, but when you have 4 people that are working together vs no people who are working togther, the chances of winning go up greatly. So why would the matchmaker which according to Blizzard " attempts to makes matches fair" do this all the damn time.
Because 4 groups of people could just be 4 random groups of people
They aren’t all super high skilled working in perfect synergy teams
Especially for something like QP
More importantly it does this because if the game only matched stacks against other stacks the queue time for them would go up a lot and you would actively be punished for playing with friends

I play solo and I play in stacks.
I often win against stacks when there’s no stacks on my team.
I also often go against bigger stacks than my own. We still win.
I am not disagreeing that sometimes matchmaking is questionable, but I personally have not experienced facing against a stack that I felt outclassed against, even when we are all solo players on my team.
You also have the tools to find a group of your own if being at a stack disadvantage is genuinely a concern. Being a stack isn’t necessarily always an advantage.
No, they might not high skilled, but chances are they worked really well together in a previous match, so they stayed together…
I and probably many other players would prefer a longer wait time, for a better match… This idea that queue times must be as short as possible is asinine. Most of Blizzards other games, have extremely long times (wow for example), but it doesn’t stop DPS from playing.
because in QP all ranks can stack together. My QP friends range from Bronze to Plat and we stack up to 4 typically. Before private profiles were a thing, the average SR of the other team was almost always a little higher than our 4 stack average and it hasn’t really change so I can reasonably assume it is the same now as it was then. If your solo team can’t work together against a stack, then that is a teamwork issue and not stack issue.
Besides, stacks generally treat QP differently than comp and don’t do callouts, just talking and gossiping. If solos cant beat my stack when none of us are paying attention, its most likely because they tilted themselves because we stacked and not because we tryharded.
The problem is you aren’t the one who would be getting longer queue times
It’s not so much its short as possible its more there’s literally no options left
If you ever grouped up solo vs stacks you’d know stacks is significantly longer almost always, its not just putting you in the first random 6 people it can find

“Quick Play” means quickest queue times. That is literally the name of the mode. If you want “fairer” matches for longer queue times, competitive exists.

Why would you ignore the “quick” in “quickplay”???

NO NO NO… That is NOT what QP means… It means a an unranked match vs other players, not “This mode has short queue times”.
