So i am a high gold player who has very easily held my own and beaten diamond players in scrims consistently. But like me and many other gold level players we are running into more and more terrible games with terrible team mates.
Now my last game could of been a very easy win but my Orisa wanted to run off spawn constantly and try fight the team by herself and i just could not outheal the damage so we lost and all that this tank needed to do was stand on the point and we win the game but this player just had no brains.
every second game i play in gold is a throw/loss/unwinnable game because without a doubt the match maker will give me someone who runs out and dies and then its a 4vs5 or one of my allies will get 3 kills all game and somehow we are supposed to carry them.
This match maker is probable the worst i have ever seen and it just makes the game not enjoyable to play.
But i see what blizzard is doing. They are putting good players or decent players with terrible players to try and carry these bad players up the elos. Because you could imagine a bunch of terrible players being clumped with each other they would just get dominated and lose game after game after game and then these players would eventually quit so blizzard is trying to keep more players playing the game.
BUT … and its a big BUT. If you continue to do this all the good players will eventually leave and you will end up with the same problem because you will lose your main player base. This is why you watch SAMITO rage on youtube because he consistenly gets DPS that will get 3-4 elims in a game and these are GM players.
So blizzard if you ever seen this post you need to go back to the drawing board and rework this match maker because i honestly could be in diamond and a lot of people could be in diamond and higher if you would just fix this stupid match maker because honestly i don’t know if you play your own game or not but it is honestly terrible and i don’t want to have to keep trying to carry these potato players.
How much of that inconsistency can be blamed on your teammates?
How much of that “it’s gold” could be blamed on developers “squeezing” and “re-calibrating” the ladder? For example a plat player now in gold due to season 9?
You’re forgetting “certainty” as well. It pairs “uncertain” players with “certain” players. So if you’re new to the game and can’t tell where you belong, it picks players who’ve been playing a long time.
It’s kinda like that stat they pulled where even they admitted newer players lose 70% of their matches. Imagine all those game where one new player could affect an entire match. Imagine your “inconsistent” player thinking it was themselves but blizzard shows you’re going to lose more cause you had that newer player.
I think the main thing that Blizzard apologists miss is that the player complaining might BE Gold… but their teammates ARE NOT (in terms of skill) a lot of the time.
And THAT is by design, because the devs are idiots.
They design a system that dumps new accounts in the middle instead of the bottom, and this creates this mess.
Their method works in theory where everyone plays the same amount, on one account only, and never created new “smurf” / alt accounts… which are all non-true conditions.
And a “ranked” mode where only the top 10% have any semblence of cohesion is the result. And is a CRITICAL FAILURE on their part.
Across roles and accounts I play in gold, plat, diamond and master…
This just isn’t true, bar the odd smurf account, and even less often boosted accounts.
This isn’t true, they start in noobs lobbies, then bronze and so on untill they hit 50 wins. At that point the have a fairly accurate MMR.
I’ve never created a new account, win the 50 games and gone to placements and been far from where my main is.
This isn’t really true either. MMR adjusts very quickly.
Problem is, a lot of people don’t tell you the whole story when they complain about X y z in their ranked games. So this probably gives people a false impression of what’s going on.
I have been diamond already a few seasons ago twice and almost masters actually one game of masters on tank so no its not a lie the way this match maker pairs people up is rediculous. It just helps bad players so good ones stay down.
The match maker isn’t the reason you almost got masters.
It also isn’t responsible for the actions of players in a game.
It’s just picking numbers.
Doesn’t matter if you think it’s good bad or indifferent… It’s the same for everyone. So the only reason you didn’t get over that hurdle is you
So if it is so accurate, explain how I had 8 games in a row yesterday with severely underperforming teammates.
They were ALL just “inconsistent”?
This is not an uncommon occurrence in Overwatch (usually not so many games bunched up like that, but still. )
I’m not a conspiracy person, I do get games where I’m on the other side and the server underperformer is in the enemy teams as well.
But ALL of those matches are a failure of the ranked MMR system. You simply cannot have extremely common conditions like that and then call the matchmaker a success.
you can pick other peoples statements apart and make a million replys all you want but the bottom line is this match maker is busted and it isnt just me and other gold /plat/diamond players staying it its pro players as well including flats and Samito it always forces 50/50 and i noticed all the players across the board win one game followed by a loss or they win two games followed by two loses its a crap match maker that no one likes and the blizzard defenders are becoming very far and few between so im afraid your a dying breed and people aren’t ignoring this crap anymore.
It’s fairly accurate. There will always be outliers.
A smurf, a boosted player. A player that’s grinded improvements on another account and so on. It’s never prefect.
But if you’re deeming under performance on stats, I’ll just take your word for it. Stats don’t really go hand in hand with performance, they are just a vague guide. The pay load princess is always going to have “bad” stats, but be performing the most crucial part of the strategy in order to win. For example.
They aren’t. Not saying there won’t be some. But most, almost all are just what you said. An under performance. Some times even the best players have off nights.
Last night, Mbappe, one of the best footballers in the world was terrible in a champions league quarter final game. It happens. Human players can’t permanently play at their peak.
The match maker is anything but accurate and you must be the only one on the face of the earth who actually thinks this stop being a blind fan boy and realise what is going on.
samito is a manbaby who earns money by faking outrage bc it appeals to his audience
and I’m rly sorry to say but the only constant between your matches is you. if you find yourself losing more than you win you should look at your gameplay and see what you can improve.
at your elo it’s common for supports to tunnel vision on healing tank and forgetting to help dps or to do dmg. sometimes it rly is more helpful to go bap ana or zen and dish out some dmg than to hold m1 on mercy the whole match.
you need to stop telling yourself lies about your teammates and feeling hopeless and start looking for ways to carry your games.
Well i’m sorry to say but getting a dps in my game that gets 3 elims the whole game is the match makers fault. Most video games that i play has balanced match makers not just making unwinnable games with land slide loses or wins there is literally no balance in overwatches games and 99% of the community would agree with me and Samito is a very good player and flats is also even Defran has showed his frustration so your basically saying you know better than most the community and top500 players wow thats one hell of a ego you have. Sorry but your wrong.
Oh so your admitting you don’t even play the game just making stuff up to suit your narrative. Well i have played this game for 7yrs and i know how the match maker works and how bad it is so much so that i streamed 40 games back to back and predicted every game win and loss before the games started with a 100% success rate i even made $500 because someone like you came along and said i was wrong. let me tell you they lost the bet very fast.
