If they are working, prove it by posting the stats.
Show us how many % of games are won by teams with uphill battle and expected.
I honestly believe you get uphill battle far more often in ez games and expected when you have to sweat your butt off for the win. That in itself shows how much the matchmaker really knows about our actual skill.
Here’s a hint. If I pop off and go 40-0 that doesn’t mean I’m a smurf it means I had a competent team against bots. If I go 3-20 that doesn’t mean I’m a bot that means I had bots against a competent team.
I don’t care what my rank is I just want everyone else who has my rank to be near my skill level. I understand you can’t get it perfect as long as there are smurfs, cheaters and throwers so I will accept if 10% of the players in my rank do not belong there. That would be a big improvement from what we have now where only 10% actually do belong here.

If they’ve failed, I’m sure they’ll be gone soon enough.
But they’ve been in place for years. So I’m not sure it’s the failure you’re hoping for.

New to Blizzard games? Oh nvm you’re just WetWipe.
At least I’m not daft enough to think the modifiers are new lol .
100% this I just had a game where it looked like we were gonna lose then suddenly my team kicks it into overdrive and plays their butts off we end up winning and i get “expected” like what? We were getting our a** handed to us majority of that match and we were expected to win? Then I get a game where its just a stomp by the enemy team we couldnt make a come back if we tried and I apparently was expected to win that match as well. Like im very curious to know was I myself alone expected to win that match based off my stats and not my teams stats or what??? cuz from my viewpoint i didnt see any way that i was expected to win a stomp match.

One day, people will realise that they’ve been told many times… Modifiers have nothing to do with what happens in the game.
They’re based on information pre match. Then you’ll get one or another based on win or loss.

Did someone say they did? The odds are determined before the match much like in sports betting. Only if Blizzard was a bookie they would go broke because they often confuse overwhelming favorites with the underdog. This is the result of relying on a broken matchmaking/ranking system in order to produce said odds.

Lol. It’s quite clearly not broken. You just dont like the outcome/output.
The only real change from Modifiers is they took out the one that ranks you up really fast if it thinks you deserve to be higher rank. So Smurfs stay in lower ranks for much longer and people who deserve to be higher will take much longer to get there.
Everything else has been in the game for the longest time apparently.
This is something the devs can’t grasp. It’s so toxic when you’re walking on water carrying your team and then your zarya launches a grav in a 1 v 4 and dies instantly. I spend the first 2 minutes of a game trying to figure out if my team plays like GMs or Plats so I can cater my play style to their competence.
