Nobody is forcing losses, matchmaking is not rigged, your teammates are the same rank as you are, and you have every tool you need in order to climb. Just focus on improving yourself.

Nah sorry, i prefer to put the blame for my failures in nutty conspiracy theories, tyvm. /s
Also how and why the ārigged matchmakerā forces losses against these people, but never wins? Makes me wonderā¦

True, itās like āIāve won 10 games in a row and now the matchmaker puts me on a 10 game loss streak againā.

Not really, you can preach it over and over again but that doesnāt mean groups arenāt a thing in this game.
āBut groups are equalized blablaā, again, not really and right now they donāt even put the same sized groups on each team on console at mid ranks (gold).
This idea is driven by an equal concept that allows for self-reflection, thatās sadly not provided in this game. They donāt even provide the players with post-match statistics.
Giving players a chance to see things outside of their own perspective and more objectively.

Forced losses feel like a thing for sure, and thereās plenty of sound explanations for them. However you are fundamentally right. You can plow ahead of the forced losses by following that advice, but regardless of that whatever is going on with the matchmaker makes the game feel too grindy, and clearly itās an issue for lots of people.

In the land of the Smurfs and alt accouts your Rank does not equal your skill, nor does it assure you will face opponents or have teammates equal to your skill.
You can improve yourself all you wish but you cannot control your teammates, whether theyll thrown or be toxic, or be helpful and tactful.

Thanks! The nice thing about truth is that it doesnāt matter what the source is. In fact, there are recognized logical fallacies about making arguments based on traits of the source.

Well tbh, no one exactly knows how the system works so all theoryās are wrong untill proven right 
This is false because it doesnāt follow my narrative.

Well, there may be some theories that arenāt currently provable without further information into the systems, but that doesnāt make them inherently false. Thatās the point of a theory. Furthermore, some issues are simply matters of statistical distribution given large enough sample size (e.g. leavers, throwers, smurfs) and are therefore mathematically (as well as realistically and practically) true.

but I canāt improve myself because my game broke, I canāt login, and the tech support wonāt respond to me
Actually blizzard does have a system where they force a certain winrate in Matchmaking.
Now I am not saying that its the reason why people cannot climb, people cannot climb they are not good enough that i agree.
But, blizzard does force 50% winrate on daily basis. And, on some days, its a clear below 30% winrate.

Are you telling me that my failures are my fault? Thatās almost as absurd as saying that a character shouldnāt be nerfed just because I died to it.

Yup. Just because you donāt like a theory does not disprove them. Yet you choose to think so.
āForced Lossesā probably not, āMaking the grind longerā maybe.

Sorry, but everyone knows the Illuminati is secretly wiring billions of dollars to Jeff Kaplan to handicap a specific demographic to force them away from their true rank. This is also why I can-ā¦ Wait, that isnt whatās happening? Really? Damn, could it be that Iām just not good enough? No way, I am a god at this game. Really? Well, I guess itās not rigged thenā¦
