i have been saying overwatch forces 50/50 for years and now even flats and the pros are saying it. Blizzard literally wrote it in their latest patch notes not that we all didnt see it long ago. every second game i have a dps player that can get no more than 8 elims in a match last game i literally sat there for 7mins watching this guy play tracer and he contributed nothing to the fight and fed over and over again.
Blizzard i swear to god i am this close to uninstalling this game. This match maker is the worst i have ever seen. Why do you punish good players like this. Why is it everytime a good player begins to climb you can be rest assured after getting 1 or 2 wins the match maker will put a absolute potatoe on your team and somehow if you are a tank player you are expected to carry these fools. Maybe in overwatch one it was easier to carry these people but in overwatch 2 it is almost impossible.
Why can you not just make a rank for stupid players and a rank for decent players becauase this match maker is 100% killing your playerbase and once marvel rivals comes out you wonât have a playerbase left honestly unless you fix this stupid match maker noone will stay in this game.
I watched Samito play yesterday he had a tracer going 0-2 after 5mins with 700 damage like what is this crap man the match maker is so bad it makes me not want to play this damn game. over and over again on remattra i literally killed half the team but it did not matter because i had a potatoe on tracer doing nothing. Like this is getting beyond a joke now blizzard fix this crap please.

As long as I keep winning, the Blizzard algorithm put me against better opponents until I finally meet my match and start losing?
What a nightmare! Itâs absolutely horrendous!
I came here to kill easy targets, not have fair games!
This has to stop.

Your wrong and many pros disagree with what you are saying. I am not asking for free wins i am asking for fair games which is what most the community is asking for. Why is your profile on private ??? I want games where the teams are fair not a auto loss. Not where i have to try and carry someone who is uncarriable. Its not balanced and its not fair for players trying to rank up in this game. Especially with how hard it is to carry bad players in overwatch 2.

I think steamroll happens because the player just gave up too fast

I donât have an issue with someone on a loss streak not being placed on teams predicted to lose (having lower MMR I assume?)
i odnt even know what i am anymore like the algorithms basically destroyed what i think of myself

Can you imagine if 2 forumers were on the same team? Theyâd lose for sure. Theyâd be too focused on watching their teammates and deciding if theyâre bad or not, then throwing because they both thought each other were bad

50% would be a dream. This game is forcing a 40% winrate on my new account.

Ive said this for a while, it would be cool for a top500 player to take over a âhard stuckâ playerâs account (tank preferably) and see how easy or hard it would be to get out of the âelo hell.â

You possibly where the potato on your team the 2 matches getting carried and now that you are expected to carry the potato boo hoo forced 50/50.

Already been done many times. Itâs trivially easy to overcome.

I donât either, cause I mean⌠streaks happen to everyone. Someone could just be having a bad day or a string of unfavorable matchups so the algorithm is like okay letâs put them on the team with a 50.9 percent chance of winning instead of the team with the 49.1 percent chance of winning.
Itâs not like the matches are lopsided where one team has a 60 percent chance to win and the other 40. Itâs never that far apart, itâs usually .5 to 1.5 percent difference.

Can I down vote this comment I hate grammar ww2 german soldiers (because you canât type the word apparently on here)
Understand that I only do that when someone is insulting someone else but canât even use the right âyouâreâ to do so.

Ya I am just fed up with people who in place of a comeback or valid argument just type a correction. It happens so damn often. Your later post at least did that so I am not that upset but it still irks me a little lol.
Placing you in harder matches as you rank up is NOT forcing 50/50; it is how good matchmaking works.
Placing people on losing streaks on a team with a higher estimated chance of winning is also not forcing 50/50, because if youâre on that team, you are still on that âfavoredâ team. And thatâs letting alone that itâs an estimate that canât account for actual human behavior.
Quit blaming the matchmaker. Instead, focus on improving your own performance. YOU are the common denominator in all your games and youâre the only thing you have control over. The system works in favor of good players. If itâs not working for you, youâre the problem.

Sometimes itâs not even 50/50. Many times I got 6 losses in a row, even being the better dps on the whole match, cause the other on my team dps doesnât know what they are doing, or the tank is a newbie with a plat account on a diamond match without even knowing the basics about Reinhardt, or the tank is from console in a match where the majority is playing on PC, and I swear all the consoles players that I had played with them, they were on my team, and the other time they were on the other team using Cronus/Xim with a 24/7 Mercy pocket. This whole thing about 50/50 and the balance stuff makes me really sad with this game. I donât want easy games, easier targets, I want a match every one is capable to do something, matches that are literally decided by the last second of that match. Matches like that are rarely. I got a few them at the start of OW2, and nothing more, as itâs likely the base is shrinking as we get more and more seasons.
Ya being on the favored team means more likely to win but also less likely to get a huge rank% gain from the win. It is more about getting someone currently in a bad mental downward spiral out of that spiral. (It helps with engagement also as you are less likely to quit after being thrown a bone. Which is very important to keep people playing your game)
