Question?
Because it is mostly defend games, and a 90% loss rate these days. I can’t tell if this is by design or incompetence. If it is by design, that is a lawsuit right there, false advertising.

The matchmaker is basically set to the OFF position for skill based matching, in quick play. It just matches whoever happens to be queued at the time, with whoever happens to be waiting the longest based on some QUESTIONMARK subsystem called MMR.
I think those are all fancy terms for YOU GET WHOEVER IS PLAYING, which means you’re better off just starting an LFG group or playing comp.
Than Blizzard should not advertise it as it is now.
pretty sure the game just cycles through maps off and def (or maybe its backwards)…
basically if you stay after match ends you will get the same map again on the other side (unless you joined after it already did this)…if youre one that leaves immediately well you get thrown right back into the pool and youre more than likely going to get defense as people are more likely to leave if they join on defense and you fill their spots
i cant say for sure…because i tend to leave rather than stay myself 
(the beauty of OQ and arcade - no wait times)…but it is something ive noticed on several occasions

I’ve noticed this big time, glad it’s not just me.
What is the problem with the matchmaker in quickplay ? it’s based on hidden MMR with a LOT of leeway between highest and lowest in a match which is what allows it to do quick games. As there is only gaining XP as a reward and no punishment for losing (no SR loss) it doesn’t matter anyway.
Quickplay matchmaking will always be messy cause it doesn’t try very hard to make it balanced in terms of rank. Most of the time, i get matched against GM and top 500 players…I’m in diamond. That skill gap is like me going against a team of bronze and silvers.
Also, tank players in quick play SUCK. 90% of the game is spent standing with a shield in the choke and getting nowhere.
Quick play matchmaking will always suck. Comp games are far more balanced except they have longer queue times to find players of similar skill.
