I don’t care about rank or winning. I just want a fair game. But it’s only stomp or get stomped. The last games I played in competitive were so one-sided, I wonder if there is any point in playing. I lose a few games in a row. I watch the replay and see it’s not my fault. I am sure I will win the next few games even if I am AFK, it feel so artificial. So, my bros, does it get better? Should I keep playing?

No. It actually became worse with OW2.

About 2 over the course of a weekend playing maybe 4 hours a day. Seriously they are almost non-existent in QP. Even when they’re close they are so full of cheese they’re not fun anyway.
The leaver problem is the result of this in QP. It’s so obvious after 2 fights if it’s a roll and 2-3 people leave on the losing team. Pretty much every game.

I noticed a sharp decline of quality matches after s1. It’s really so bad.

I lose the games I try the hardest on and literally win the ones I soft throw. This game is an unbalanced mess with a horrible matchmaker. It has absolutely 0 competitive integrity.

My games have been pretty good lately in Plat QP, hardly any egregious imbalances. But I think I have a different definition of a stomp than some people here do. IMO, what it looks like for one team to have a modest skill advantage (or team comp advantage) is quite different in 5v5 than it was in 6v6. The better team now tends to win by a wider margin than before. But I don’t think that means the teams were mismatched. It’s just a consequence of the change in format. I hope they’re able to figure out some gameplay changes that can address that so more games feel close.

I’m the same. Sometimes if some of my team leaves and we get backfills but already lost so much ground it seems pointless I soft throw and we end up winning or getting close to it (at which point I feel bad that if I had tried after the backfills joined we might actually have won).

season 3 should help significantly, since we will finally play against people in our rank in our role, instead of just average team rating matchmaking. each role will now be balanced against each other.

Ye, if you get a bad tank it’s gg. This will fix it I hope.

I get tons of one-sided matches, but even the close ones rarely feel good. Even when the match is close, there are still players who are clearly too good or too bad to be in matches with me. It doesn’t feel good to squeak out a win carrying someone who is completely dead weight, the entire match feels like torture.
I had a close match earlier when I was playing Ana. The other healer was Moira and just stood behind the tank healing the whole match. I was healing everyone else and dealing with 2-3 people jumping on me most fights, while the other healer just ignored all of it. That match did not feel good to play, even though we won in the end.

maybe 1 out of 10 is evenly matched, fair good game. And the rest of them are just one-sided. You can clearly see the gap between our/enemy’s DPS/Tank/Support.
Anything Plat or below usually are blowouts.
Masters and higher maybe every 4-5 games are one sided.
The game matching is so weird. It won’t adjust based on how you played the last game, and continue match you with bad teammate unless you shut it down and play tomorrow
