Absolute atroious matchmaking

Enable them. If a tank won’t stop jumping in, switch to something you can use to jump in with them. It makes no sense to just hang back and only heal the tank when you can see/reach them. That’s how you lose. Get in there and die if you have to, but at least try to enable your team regardless of what they’re doing. That is a support’s job. Healing them isn’t a privilege they earn. You make it happen no matter what.

Just play comp then, problem solved.

It seems that the only players left playing this game after exodus to MR are cheaters and noobs who just joined.

Facing stacks of cheaters in 4/5 games now, doesn’t matter QP or comp. The good thing is that there’s often at least one cheater in my team too to even out the playing field. Many games are now straight HvH cheater stack in my team vs cheater stack in enemy team.

A two day loss streak and you really think that’s not your fault?

ok sure, my fault that i get brain dead teammates. sure.

typical . IGNORED

You didn’t. You’re the common denominator here, dude. Sounds like you were the braindead teammate

so far i’ve dumped 2 matches in the past year since LPs put in and I’ve had consistently worse matches after penalties where it seams like every 9th team is very even in performance.

Have just been playing QP so far this season, playing almost entirely Tank. I actually somehow managed to start it off with a 6-win streak, and many many more wins after that separated by the occasional loss

But then the game decided to “balance it out”. Enter the past 2 days, which are now the opposite. Little loss streaks broken up by the occasional win. And most of the time, I see clear problems with negative DPS or sometimes lacking Supports

Some "highlights" from last night; not even duoing is enough to salvage this

its honestly gone to hell to be honest like its not all the devs fault like stinking aaron changed the algorithms whre the game has lost its fun

This is my recent games for the few months now

Or players running solo with clueless face that you just can’t reach them /group up or help them
or enemy team is just full on diamond>master players and there you are, little casual player still trying to figure out how to aim with Ash while they have hog with 99% accuracy hook, flanking tracer destryoing your ana, widow patroling all corners on the map with ana (no misses) and ect. ect. :sob:

Everyone that was left in Overwatch ran off to Marvel Rivals. Since there’s no tutorial explaining the roles in the game, no one know what they’re suppsoed to be doing.

It isn’t the matchmaking. It’s Mercy one tricks throwing every game. Every. Single. Game.

for me those are hogs, dunno what happened but there’es more of them and they really don’t wanna swap and think that they have health breath for eternity :sob:

Yah the system is cooked. Their take on “improving” the matchmaker has been to try and find ways to allow leniency in it for shorter queue times which has messed up so many players. As someone who has scrimmed team matches and played in GM stacks back in the day the reward I got for being good at the game was to get incredibly handicapped whenever I wasn’t stacked up. Sometimes you just watch your teammates and they’re just legit bad at the game, but because their MMR AND their behavior factors are cooked they get paired favorably a lot of the time by carry teammates. Speccing them from replays makes you feel 2nd hand embarrassment and wonder why they allow such matchups. It should never happen even in QP matches

Remove groups vs. randoms.

My experience/thoughts exactly.
I see more defeat than I ever saw in OW1.
This 50/50 is bs to me is more like 1/10, win 1 match, loses 10.

SEQF7V - See for yourself, start getting stomped and suddently out of the blue my team started to play together which ended up in we stomping them. There was no communication whatsoever, just the power of GODs to make them wake up and start playing the video game.

YB7B16 - This one we were doing good for 4 min straight, as soon as the tank died, gg, no one wanted to defend anymore which lead to a stomp.

People are afraid to hold W and when they do, its either standing still shooting walls or going 1v5 blaming everyone but themselves.
Not even talking about they taking almost 4 min to swap.
Of course, those who complain the most are always with negative score, not like 4/5, 2/3 or 5/7 but 1/10, 2/15 in a 10 min match.
It doenst matter if im the tank, dps or healer, I have this feeling that is always ME and only ME that pushes the payload or take the point. Its like they dont even care about the objectives at all, just kill kill and kill, like, why dont they play team deathmatch or something, why they ruin my games :frowning:
aaaand ofc the glorious report system which makes people afraid to talk n communicate.

Glorious days of OW. Too bad we cant get it back to 2016-2018, the golden era.

I always end up the day 1/6 or 1/7 and yeah, this mess started as soon as they changed the matchmaking back in season 9.

I had almost 70% winrate back in OW1, now im sitting at 48% and going down and down the hill.

Welcome to a dying game. The MM hasn’t been good since closed beta in OW, and it’s only gotten worse as the devs have listened to their player base. It’s not a coincidence that Apple under the direction of Steve Jobs was an absolute force for 3 decades, and continues to be a top company in the world today. Steve didn’t listen to what people wanted, he pushed forward knowing how humans operate and how to give people what they actually wanted, instead of what they though they wanted.

This has been the downfall of every live service game over the years. You don’t make changes to your game based on player feedback, you design your game based on what humans actually need. You don’t design a game based on what humans tell you they want. People will find the shortest distance to any goal, what you need to do is make that journey interesting and moderately difficult. Humans will reward you with play time if they actually feel like the can achieve something, instead of just being along for the ride.

In my opinion that’s definitely a Skill issue

nice response. The people writing this posts are fed up with the system. It’s not working, you cannot ridicule someones opinions of their own personal matches, im nothing special either, I like to think im good and that I do get the unlucky matches way more often than I should be.

Think about if you were having an unbearable loss streak and feeling hopeless. I have had 2 12+ loss streaks, both horrible times, and a short 6 loss streak, it is NOT fun to be paired with teams that don’t know what their own hero does…

I am personally not touching comp this season till they emergency patch fix sojourn and dps passive buffs. I’ve been watching 12 different overwatch content creators, some gold, some gm, some masters etc., and the data I have collected is dps passive is gutting supports, some tanks become extremely unviable like hog or rein and that sojourn with or without a mercy pocket becomes server admin…

I usually play competitive but ever since s9, I play it less and less and this is the season im waiting for them to fix the mistake they’ve made.
