Comp match making in OW is by far the absolute worst I have ever experienced in an online game. It cannot be just a coincidence that I lose 10+ matches in a row matched with teams that don’t even try and against teams who win without even trying. Match after match I have a team that literally does not care to even try while the enemy team wins in what feels like record times. This is beyond ridiculous. This match making feels like it was designed by the most incompetent people. Is this intentional? Is this how they want it be? What is the purpose of doing comp. if this is the experience for me?
This has been the norm in comp. match making for too long and it needs to change. I am sick of being consistently matched with people who treat comp like its arcade or are looking to be carried.
Some of the matchmaking is intentional through EOMM. Some of it is incompetence, and some of it is cheaters, Smurfs, trolls, and so on. It is a perfect mirror of how humanity is, and it ain’t pretty but that’s how it is.
Just played another game the enemy dps had 50+ kills. My dps had 5 kills. I am playing support. I had twice as much heals as the enemy support. Nobody can convince me if I had Top 500 players on my team even if I was the worst support that I was grouped up with that I would win most matches. Its not a matter of my skill by my dps and tanks when I play support.
Yeah it feels like the games where you feel like your gameplay has an impact are getting more and more rare. Most games seem to be decided by how well your team gels rather than how good or bad you do as an individual, and I think that is a lot of what drives the frustration players have towards the MM.
I’ve met random people on the street that DON’T GAME, and they knew that overwatch matchmaking was the worst. They said something like “I’m not a gamer but I heard something about how the matchmaking in that one is really bad, is it true?”
Pretty sure the programmers for the matchmaker are just kids who don’t know what they’re doing. They know just enough to keep it afloat but not enough to resolve the major issues that come along with it. I believe the matchmaking in OW was designed by someone who had no experience in matchmaking at all, it was just a sort of a “let’s give the little guy a chance” type of thing and they stuck with it.
Needs a complete overhaul. I would resolve it in just a couple of months but I don’t feel like taking a pay cut and being in woke meetings all day.
I just had a comp match where a DPS on my team was AFK the entire time before the match started and we were on defense. When asked to please not afk they instantly started harassing me and continued to do so the entire match AND said they are throwing the match and told everyone to blame me for it. They chose to AFK the start of the match and when asked not to do that decided to ruin the game for everyone else. They did just that too. They switched to Sombra and ran around doing nothing the entire match while also continuing to harass me in chat. They kept saying nothing will happen to them but I absolutely reported them for it. This kind of thing happens so often in comp and I feel like nothing is being done to deter it or make it better.
I dont play often and I play console. Pretty much every game there are smurfs, rank boosting friends. Im talking 50+ kills, maybe 1-2 deaths. Usually a tracer or Genji. I would forget about trying to rank up and stick to QP. MM and comp is a total mess
