Is literally the worst way to keep people at a 50% winrate.
Losing to the better team is never a problem but the matchmaker would rather give you much less skilled team mates to compensate. Utterly awful matchmaking.

Engagement based matchmaking is more for the casuals than people who regularly play. It’s not supposed to be fun. It’s supposed to be engaging. And it clearly works, for whatever reason.

Theres nothing engaging going 20-2 when my fellow team mate is 15-14 feeding their brains off. Id rather just straight up lose to a better team than play well and have the game ruined by less competent players. Its not even their fault, the matchmaker wants this crap.

I feel your pain Nicosia. I’ve had a few matches lately where I honestly thought I had queued for the wrong mode and was in “vs. Ai” instead of QP.
Not much you can do about it, other than log off, or swap to a different characters and get some practice in.

Do you think it was their time to win, or your time to lose? Which one do you think the matchmaker was going for
I look forward to multiple people coming in to this thread, and having the same discussion we’ve had a billion times. How the matchmaker isn’t broken. and you’re a doomer who doesn’t know what you’re talking about. Asking about your rank. (don’t answer me, I don’t care) and then judging the way you play with a replay code, instead of listening to what you’re actually complaining about.

I would say calling some players i get “bots” would be an insult to actual bots.

the match maker places you with worse teammates to increase their chances of winning to maintain their 50/50, not to ensure you lose
Bots are more intelligent than these low iq players.
Can’t heal
Can’t kill 1 HP players even if they are right next to them because their eyesight is absolutely terrible.
Can’t stop going in alone to die so you’re always left with less players on your side…
Can’t stop treating every game like a death match so they try to spawn camp then die resulting in the other team coming back to win.
I think the matchmaker expects me to carry 3 players into a win but more often than not its very hard and almost impossible.
But thats why the system is awful. A player can only do so much. It increases the worse players chances of winning sure but guarantees nothing, makes it a horrible experience for the players trying.
If I cant help them into a win, the matchmaker will keep going at it until it hands them an unloseable match for that sweet 50% Winrate.

GARBAGE MATCHMAKING. LET US COMPLETE EVERY CHALLENGE WITH AI SO I NEVER PLAY WITH SUCH PLAYERS AGAIN.
Nothing but losers who only play to lose. AT LEAST AI HAS THE INTELLIGENCE TO UNDERSTAND THAT YOU PLAY TO WIN GAMES NOT PURPOSELY THROW THEM.
Everyone here agreeing is forgetting that the MMR is putting both sides as close as possible to a 50/50 win rate.
If you are losing a lot of games, then you really need to re-evaluate what you’re doing in the games you lose. The unpopular opinion is that you’re probably not even playing well enough in the games you’re losing. Its a fact that you will lose games, but if you think the MMR is putting “bad teammates” on your team and the enemy team has all-star players to ensure a 50/50 WR, you’re sorely mistaken.

If that’s how it works, then a lot of the times you are the so-called bot on the team trying to bring the win rate of one of your teammates down to 50%. Funny how you didn’t mention that.

They have no idea what they are doing. I have games where everyone is meshing well and then a game where it is hard to tell if people are actively throwing. That is not a healthy swing in match quality.

Oh what a surprise the reverse of my last game just happened which is exactly what you described because it was a team full of everyone helping out each other instead of doing their own things! It’s almost as if that one guy trying to pin the blame on us is full of it as usual.

So… just because a random team was playing better than you were in a match, the whole thing is rigged for you not to win games? What if you ARE the bad teammate? Has that ever crossed your mind? Nahhh… how could you be a contributing factor in losing matches?
This entire talking point is moot. 80% of the players agree with all these “bad teammates” ONLY on my team ALL OF THE TIME and hope that they get EZ wins and carries because they can’t critically think about how or what they could do to increase their own chances of winning team fights let alone matches.
Explain this to me while you’re at it: How come you can still lose a game when the enemy team has a leaver or is blatantly throwing the match? Is this some secret vendetta by the MMR to force a loss too? This happens more than you might think…
Keep coping though.

They aren’t. Some are obvious stacks vs randoms on my side. What do you gain out of bootlicking Blizzard so badly? Do you want things to remain the same?

I don’t think people care if they win or lose it is how some wins and losses are just hard stomps. There is nothing you can do.
