How do you convey match quality through a screenshot?

he made the claim.
maybe you know its false.
i get it now. screenshot could be old.
well i didn’t expect any.

I think I’d go crazy if I played detective every game I play. Like do you actually enjoy sitting there and coming up with every looney excuse for why you took an L? Doesn’t that just get annoying trying the theorize with almost zero data on how rigged something is? Especially when your criteria is

Like if your criteria for stomps and bad matchmaking is “how many times I lose” the. You’re gonna be way way off on any theory you come up with.

Thats not an answer to my question.
You wanted a screenshot to “prove” match quality. How do you prove match quality with a screenshot?

I sure as hell am not exaggerating when I say QP is 2/10
Comp was better, probably 6/10

26

How is their a 4 point difference between those 2 like what is making it 4 points worst?

Well commentary helps I guess…but really you need replay codes…

thing is people will post losing streaks as proof of bad matches….when that might not be at all accurate of what happened

The losing streak I posted above for example didn’t really have bad matches…it had bad results…I posted that pic BECAUSE of how different a story it tells

Ppl’s willingness of cooperating (both teamfight and picking) means a lot to my definition of matching quality - Steamrolling occurs much less because of that

QP was a complete sh!thole even though ppl do not leave (nice change BTW, problem solved), and all the Sombras running around without anyone else doing anything against her was frustrating - this particularly was much better in RK

I guess some people think
losing games = bad match quality.

Maybe it’s the same kind of people who think a matchmaker shouldn’t try to make matches a 50% of winning.

I’m at the point where I’d like to see them straight up add some kind of live handicap system to QP. If things are clearly lopsided, the game starts doling out buffs and debuffs to even things manually. Its a nuclear option but at this point its clearly what it will take to resolve the constant stomp rates.

For me. Quickplay is 2.5 in 20 matches where I will have good matches.

With a average stomp-less match with 3 in 16 matches.

I’m playing RQ MH. You’re lucky if you get a 4/10 game tbh. Most are 2/10. 1 team gets pharah or zarya or DVa or double junk, double mercy, doiuble weaver, double pharah, etc. and it’s GG from that moment on.

Only if the matchmaker stops putting new players in my team after winning few times in a row. These games are impossible to win unless you drink 1 liter monster energy. It’s a waste of time because the outcome is already decided from the beginning.

34

I forsee this being heavily abused by players who want an unfair advantage in some manner. I also don’t see how you could really make this fair in of itself. What if a game is close but the scoreboard doesn’t really reflect that? Do the buffs just get handed out anyways and suddenly change the course of a match that wasn’t really a stomp to begin with?

35

Just reserve it for the absolutely cartoonish joke matches with absurd differences in the scoreboards if there’s fear of fair ones being spoiled. I just want something done, though personally I’d settle for just being allowed to quit such games without the petty time-outs.

It does this already; in fact, that is the secret sauce to the ‘wide matchmaking’ they introduced a few seasons back.

They nerf or buff individual player interactions based on skill. If you are bad at aiming, you get looser hit registration tolerance. (almost like the enemy has an inflated hitbox.) If you have good aim, you get tighter hit registration tolerance. (like a really bad aimcone, and even ‘reverse’ aim assist, making tracking more challenging.)

All of this is spelled out in the patents, and is easy to spot if you know what to look for.

In your next match, pick the newbie on the other team and just focus on them. After a few ‘unrevenged’ elims, the game will start protecting them. Moreso if you’re on an account thats a few years old.
