Not from what i’ve seen over 20 seasons.
This. Switch accounts or just leave the game for a week. The matchmaking drastically changes when it’s not sure how to cheat you any more. Of course, it’s always much EASIER when the matchmaker doesn’t know how to cheat you. Meaning, people should be ranking up if it wasn’t for the fake MMR ruining the entire experience.
Btw, i love you. I came back. Like everyone including myself knew i would. I wasn’t lying, but thanks for stalking.
But this is exactly what are others and you are talking about. Its the better enemy players and you being not ready for higher elo. Its not rigged matchmaker. If you still want to climb, visit me at discord i did provide you before. I am sure i can help you.
Yeah. “I can’t hack easy mode, but I should be able to climb without working on improving because rank is meaningless and it’s all rigged!”
Hmm, nah.
I think i know when i have 1 endorsement teammates standing around doing nothing. I’m pretty sure players can see when the team refuses to group up, when their tanks just hit “S” all day, when a person is in chat saying “GG” because we didn’t hold point A.
You act like players can’t see what’s going on around them.
We can see it. We can see the streaks of bad teammates. It’s got very little to do with being in a rank we can’t handle.
…you act like your level 2 endorsement is a major achievement. 
Prove it.
If you can’t even see that 1 endorsement players are 90% horrible, then you are just blind to the system. And yes, on these losing streaks you see them on your team. It’s a dead giveaway.
I’ve noticed that endorsement levels generally (but not always) peg the toxic ones, but endorsement level has absolutely nothing to do with skill. For instance, I’ve seen Kabaji with level 1 endorsement on one of his alternate accounts.
If you want to climb, get good and stop spamming the forums with cheese and whine. You’ve even got people offering to coach you.
My experience form bronze to plat?
No, they dont. Most of them have no clue what is going on or why our team is losing, or who is the reason.
The quality of blizzard games has gone down the drain. They merged with activision and have lost all sense of what games should be like. I don’t blame anyone for uninstalling their games and walking away.
I’m close to saying goodbye myself. The days of good blizzard games are gone forever. Many players today have never played the games that made blizzard what they are today.
The only one spamming the forums is you. You go from post to post saying the same thing, an old recipe, like it is something you invented.
90% of people you reply to already know everything you have to say. They want to vent because it is frustrating. Do you understand that? It is not logical but they need to go and tell somebody and it is actually good because they can cool off instead of playing and be even more tilted.
Why you don’t avoid your spamming and just answer questions? Questions that are mechanical, concrete and above all empirically tested in game.
Focus on yourself is a buzzword it means nothing. You have to elaborate what do you mean with that. Focusing only on yourself can be stupid and not productive in a lot of instances. It is a philosophical and psychological in nature and in each person is instanced in a different way. For example for a specific person little anger towards somebody else is not tilting but allows that person to focus more and overcome obstacles meanwhile in others a little anger means a complete tilt. Noticing that the only way to win a game is to influence another person to do something (swap, stop doing something stupid etc) is again something you cannot do if you focus only on yourself.
Do you want another one? Political? Lets say you influence enough community members to push and advocate for a change to the game that will benefit your playstyle. Do you think you will not get something out of it? This is what every matchmaking complaining post is about - hope. Some external force will come and help me overcome my problems and then you come, like Mercy from the sky, and tell them:
“No my dear child. Focus on yourself. Improve.”
How? Do you understand what is missing? Those words are completely useless, they don’t change people. Concrete advices, tips and tricks do. Do you get it?
So I would advise you (even though you think you are so wise that nobody can teach you anything) that you leave people vent and focus on concrete questions.
If you know so much about the game it will be no problem answering them.
Very well. If you need it spelled out, here’s a list:
Above all (and especially for you, random angry guy who apparently can’t stand me in particular for some reason),
Do these things and I guarantee you’ll climb.
[side note: was surprised that calmdown didn’t make an appearance in this thread. love that guy.]
The great thing is, you realize how much you progress in life and with yourself when you stop playing for a while or even stop playing entirely. Again, the game needs you more than you need them. Maybe eventually they will do better.
I might have been more willing to jump on the band wagon if you said the matchmaker was broken or the algorithm was crap. But saying it is rigged is a little too conspiracy theorist for me.
I think the hidden MMR system does change your matching against others too aggressively (win a few and your matches get damn near impossible to win) and would much rather it go solely by SR. I don’t think it is rigged though, just poorly implemented.
it is broken. the fact that MMRs aren’t matched to roles is what is broken. if the highest MMR on team A is support it needs to be on team B as well.
this is IMO the primary reason behind the crazy lopsided matched of late.
To me, that means rigged. They change your difficulty based on your current play. They make it more difficult for you, just because you’ve won a few games. This is rigging it so you will lose SR, and keep playing to chase something they artificially took from you.
Get rid of MMR and just use SR to create matches, and after a while the matches should actually be even and filled with players near the same skill.
4 years of forcing even matches, and it’s still a horrible experience because they never let people get to their proper ranks naturally. So, they keep having to FORCE it harder than ever. Win some… earn hard mode. That’s rigging it so people have to play longer than they need to just to climb a little.
In the end, i agree exactly with what you say. I guess i just go a step further to say that it’s rigged to make it more difficult for current winners. To me, that’s shady.
You want to love it, but just end up hating it.
So do you say that climbing out of silver / gold is not possible?
Funny how you are giving me free advices how to climb even though I never asked you to give me any. I can’t stand you for that reason. You think your fart smells and that you are entitled to give free advices to the whole world. Come down from your pedestal.
When you see people talking or speaking in frustration is neither wise nor smart to throw them some platitudes like you do. What you want (and I am repeating myself) is just seeking recognition and adoration.
So again. Your advices are straight from self-help books, an instant gratification recipe that only people without empathy can throw on forums. Sure with a LOT of accompanying other work they can become true but throwing them out like you do on forums is just silly and pathetic.
Your advices are worthy of a horoscope guru or a homeopathic promotion. Without knowing a person, watching his game, working with him you can’t do … s** nada, your “advices” are only annoying them more.
Your friend calm down has just been sanctioned in one thread… you see how it works? I am not surprised it is your friend to be honest and how loved his wise words are.
… and buddy, for me, you are also a rando nothing less nothing more… just a little more annoying one.
p.s. I replied to you late because unlike you I don’t have the time to be on forums 24/7.
You literally told me to provide concrete advice, and I wasn’t even responding to you in the first place - I was responding to the OP with concrete “advices” and you decided to jump in.
If you want to climb, work on improving yourself. Identify and correct your own problems, it’s proven to work 100% of the time.
Also, calm down…
DONT SOLO Q.
DONT PLAY AFTER 3 WINS WITH THE SAME TEAM.
DONT FLEX A LOT.
Basically make OW Work instead of Game.
Or stop caring and play and enjoy
