You continue to think and push a narrative. It’s simply not true. I value a match that enjoyed but maybe lose than a stomp.

I get more stomps.

What I worry most is that after learning high rank IS STILL THE SAME, then what’s the point of ranking up other than to gloat? Trust me when I tell people I hit diamond they’re like “wow”.

Mission to feel ego - achieved. What do I have left some lop sided matches.

The biggest issue I see in these discussions, though, is that people exacerbate the issues they are looking to resolve by making erroneous assumptions about the matchmaker and perpetuating narratives that generally decrease match quality.

I don’t appreciate you calling my thread a factor in decreasing match quality.

• exacerbating any issue : that’s purely subjected. How dare you pretend to know how many lopsided matches I endured.

• erroneous assumptions? Opportunity for folks to shed some light. I always try to frame it as a thought experiment. Just because I don’t agree, and still don’t agree doesn’t mean I decrease MATCH QUALITY in OVERWATCH…. There are far too many videos on YouTube with MORE views than this little thread.

The rant comparing marvel rivals to OW… sounds like cope for the devs. A more up to date team based game comes a long and steals ow crowd.

Pure cope that ow2 and poor Bobby led ideas resulted in a flop. No1 wanted pvm, the push to that was a fail, all the while people were putting up with horrendous match quality - season begin and season end were notoriously bad matches - people with poorly calibrated Mmr were sprinkled all other the ladder.

As someone mentioned in rivals I can rank up and get stuck just like in ow. To me the matches maker is the same - HOWEVER - the freshness of character design - flying supports and “different” design choices make the matches more tolerable.

the balance, the matchmaker, the ranking system, etc- these are all much, much better now than they were at launch- OW has improved a ton over launch.

I might add OW grew from the ideas of the community. “Threads like this” I think either predict or inspire some ideas that sometime find it in the game. I already posted proof of me “predicting” / asking for features in the game 2-years in advance.

One thing I’ve ALWAYS pushed is that the match quality is not as good as the devs think it is. Role queue, team avg vs role avg, wave spawning - if the match quality was so good why even try to change it? And the fact MR DIDNT learn from this at launch - maybe that’s why their falling faster - has nothing to do about a subjected “ow requires more skill”.

You want me to stop posting “threads like these” because threads decrease match quality? You got it. But that’s sounds more tinfoil then trying to figure and help the devs improve this old game match maker.
