Today gaming experience in Overwatch, just some Quickplay for “enjoyment”:
1st map of the day: backfill to Lunar Colony, match cancelled;
2nd map: Backfill to Nepal, first round lost, lost the second one too 0:100;
3rd map: Paris defend, 20 leavers, match was done in 3 minutes;
4th map: Backfill to Lunar Colony, i left the game;
5th map: Backfill to Rialto defend on point 3, couldnt even build one ult;
6th map: Ilios, had a Tank with “Thrower” in the name and did so;
7th map: Backfill to Anubis defend, 5 seconds before match start, point 1 was lost on first attack.
Is there really anyone thinking that this keeps me to play this game? I play support and stil have to queue 4-8 minutes to find a quickplay match. Every night i get backfilled to half a dozend maps, mainly 2cp and especially Lunar Colony and Paris. Can we just lower the rate of 2cp getting selected? Can we remove Paris and Lunar Colony in also quickplay? I know its maybe only months to Ow2… but stil.

The only way you’re allowed to expect a ‘real’ game of Overwatch is if you’re willing to dump 10-30 minutes in queue waiting for a comp match, apparently. Every time I ask for Quickplay to be taken even a little bit seriously I get shot down with constant ‘just go play competitive’ comments, as if I’d waste a half hour to play a game that is liable to have a thrower, smurf or troll in it who just does dance emotes in spawn all game. Why would I waste my time like that?
The game is basically unplayable.

If you’re talking about arcade QP like it has the same queue time as standard Quickplay*, that’s just you being silly. Arcade qp’s queue is like 30 seconds to a minute. 222 queue QP is never that short, for anyone, even you.
I never said it was arcade
I just get into 2-2-2 games relatively easy
I mean it’s not ‘hard’ to get into a game, you just have to be willing to wait 5-10 minutes. Is that ‘hard’? No. Is it a waste of time compared to most games? Yeah.

I have a reward that I consider it to be the most fun you can have on an online videogame in 2021
…
Well yesterday they did release something fun for another Game, it’s time limited tho, so I guess ow goes on second place for now
You gotta do your hourly backfill match all the way to defeat/victory screen and it will stop giving you backfills for an hour 
I got backfileld into 2cp in four out of eight matches today, two were Lunar Colony, one was Paris. Its unplayable.
That’s extremely unlucky if true.
I’m not a huge fan of backfill, but I’ve played this game since beta and never experienced anything even close to that.
I’d say backfill is like 1/10 matches, and 1/2 of those are just Paris.
Most of the time it takes me less than 30 seconds to get a game as a tank or flex, and less than 2 minutes for support.
Thats why I only grind the last few games for my last gold weapon and then just play QP until OW2. Golden weapons was the only thing I wanted from comp. The ranking experience is beond trash and like you pointed out this is only the tip of the iceberg.
