Blizzard confirms forced 50/50

I see they are making solo queue literally impossible now. What a joke.

The most blatant rigging I’ve ever seen in this game after a win. This is absolutely pathetic from Blizzard.

This game absolutely sucks lmao

I agreed.
they should match people with the same rank. that’s all.
Why MMR even exist. If you’re good enough, you just move on to the next. Blizzard make thing complicated for no reason.

They do

MMR mirrors your rank. And has done for a long time now. Forced 50/50 has never been a thing, despite the mental gymnastics of the OP.

MMR stands for ‘match making rating’ and is used to do just that. it’s really nothing fancy.

We have interviews with the people who made the matchmaker explain to us all in detail how it works (the whole thing is over an hour and a half if you want to look at it in your own time.)

Where’s people that still think matches are not manipulated? :thinking:

It’s rigged, but it’s rigged for everybody so its technically fair. For the average player if you want to keep your MMR stable & avoid the rollercoaster you have to play meta in your role. Boring.

If you are concerned about your rank-your first 50 games in quickplay determines that(MMR). If you’ve improved your best off creating a new account.

It appears the game attempts to put you in a +/- 1 rank window, for the best user experience after placement.

Not sure what a replay code is meant to prove? Surely I need to see all 10 players profiles too.

They aren’t. They never have been.

What…
It isn’t rigged. for anyone.

THis has been disproven so many times.

Someone really necro a thread about a) something that doesn’t prove their point….and b) isn’t even in the game anymore? (They removed that system several patches ago)

I will give them a break on that one. It is within 2 weeks. Better than people reply with codes to things than not at all.

(but I think I know what you are talking about with what they removed. But that wasn’t forced 50/50 either. Forced results has never been a thing. However it is in MR when they give you free quick play wins against bots. So, do what you will with that.)

Ill take Scott Mercer at his word. Sounds like you enjoy his design, happy for you

Not sure why you would gatekeep the importance of those first 50 games in quickplay

It was more this part that has been disproven many times over…

If you’ve improved, you’ll climb from where you are no matter what account you’re on.

NEver heard of them.

What part?

Who says you can’t climb from any rank?

You know what they are saying. 50/50 is just the meme.

It’s not possible to create an even match in Ow2 due to the variables with misrepresenting your MMR. The matchmaker can’t account for that, which is why Scott Mercer designed your win rate to also be taken into account. This combination is why we experience “forced” wins and “forced” losses.

Obviously you can still climb, everyone is on the same matchmaker.

You always change your argument. When someone doesn’t give a replay code, you use the argument:

“No replay code = never happened”.

When someone proves the replay code:

“Ah, but that doesn’t prove anything”

Pretty sure this statement is/was about cheating, the thing which could acutally spotted in a replay.

Feel free to explain too us all how a replay code without any additional context proves forced 50/50.

Depends what you are trying to prove.

Someone cheating, need a code or there is no proof.

Codes don’t prove anything to do with the match maker though. You will need to see all 10 profiles, and even then, you are clutching at straws trying to blame the match maker for something that was probably the fault of the players.

Please, apply some logic first.
