I have been a low diamond/high plat support since I started playing OW2 in season 6.
It’s frightenly obvious how the games matchmaking pre-decides which team is going to win before the game even started.
I mostly get the absolute bottom mmr players who peaked their rank in my team, while forced to face the top mmr players who has been everything from top500 to high diamond, and now for some reason resides in plat and gold lobbies.
I tried duo with a friend who is master 1 dps on his main account.
Our winrate is 20%, so I am soon gold 1, gone from 90% plat 1 to demotion protection to gold 1 in 2 days. Where we have losing streaks of 4-5 games, before winning one, then back to 4-5 games losing streak.
It’s amazing to see such huge team diffs, that a masters 1 dps can’t carry in mid plat lobby.
And then trying QP to relax a bit, I went on a 11 game losing streak before winning 1, and immediatly lost the next game!
This game is so fun - NO, IT’S ACTUALLY PURE GARBAGE!!
The solution to this: Remove mmr completely, and this trash of system where you’re compensated when you’re on a losing streak! The only rank that should be viable are the bronze to champion! The hidden mmr as basically a rank within the rank - completely useless and is destroying the game!
Matchmaking should only be based on rank! If you have 1000 players withing plat 1 to 5, just spin the wheel and the lottery of teams are done! As it is now, the system checks for mmr, win/loss streaks, odds of winning/losing and makes the teams based of a lot of unnecessary things!
Let’s keep things friendly and respectful here. Everyone’s opinion is valid, and we’re all here to discuss and improve our Overwatch 2 experience.
Regarding matchmaking, I hear you! It can definitely use some improvements to make the games more balanced and fun for everyone. As for the 6v6 and anti-tank threads, while opinions differ, it’s always good to keep discussions constructive and focused on enhancing the game.
Remember, we’re all in this together to make Overwatch 2 the best it can be!
You didn’t read the first post did you?
If you are good enough to rank up to diamond 4 which is my highest rank, why do I all of the sudden get such huge team diffs so I am deranked from diamond 4 to gold 1, and ranking back up to plat 1, and then forced down to plat 5?
This game is the only game where I actually get better, but according to matchmaking and ranking I am just as bad of a player in end of season 10, as I was when I started at the beginning of season 6.
Buddy. It is REALLY not hard to pay attention. There was a rank reset. T500 starts in Masters. Do you really think you’ll be able to get your old rank back without improving? For everyone below Masters in the current ranking system, this is a skill issue. You’re not getting team diffs, you’re just no longer good enough to keep up.
This is called a coping mechanism. You cannot face the fact that you belong where you belong. You are not being held back by a matchmaker that is looking to place you randomly and keep you there.
Just watching and waiting for the day the game devs either turn around and actually resolve issues, or the day Microsoft steps in and does a massive firing of people.
Forced gameplay of unbalanced matches, modes nobody wants to really be in and being condemned to play “Push” when I just want to play King’s Row, Havanna, Route 66 and Hollywood all day is enough for me to say the leaver penalties thing was the biggest proverbial “slap” in the face by game devs.
“you like overwatch, well you better like ALL of Overwatch, because (redacted) you for liking any of our game”.
Great… thanks. Reminds me to never buy Overwatch merch at the video game store to gift friends, to support the game or people’s paychecks.
Btw still never released a GIANT Pachamari plush or had bulk pricing on them so i can fill a friend’s car full of the plush toys, as a prank.
Not really! Since you didn’t read what I wrote!
I’ve climbed from bronze 3 to diamond 4 within 1 season when I started playing in season 6. For some reason the game didn’t think I deserved to be in diamond 4, so they gave me impossible teams deranking me to silver 1, where the game changed its mind and let me climb back to plat 1, where again the game changed its mind and now I am almost gold 1.
But I guess it’s easier for you to just crash in type something completely useless without reading or trying to understand! Stop running blizzards errands, and defend a broken system, which they themselves admit looks at algoritms and factors to give on team the benefits to win, due to mmr and loss/win streaks!
Yet another coping mechanism. I disagree with you so it must be due to not reading it.
Nope, I read the entire thing and it proves you are incorrect.
People naturally rise and fall in ranks. Because very few people are consistent enough to maintain a rank. This only becomes more apparent as you climb.
You’re wrong! The matchmaking according to the devs sets the game after mmr the rank within the ranks, and loss/win streaks!
So the matchmaking has already decided before the game starts which that will most likely win! Learn to read what devs are saying before coming in here and commenting on things you clearly don’t know anything about!
So yes, true games getting dumber, more specifically you!
