Hello? This must be glitch no? Happened first time to me but anyway thats just absurd.
He went 5/16 and he was bronze 2, iam GM1.
It makes me so angry because i cant play with my master friends because iam gm BUT THEY PUT BRONZE IN MY COMP GAME.
Blizzard WAKE UP
in comp and in qp too
I’m not even ranked and in qp I got matched vs a guy who was master in tank, diamond in dps and gm in supp
hello blizz???
what do you think we can do? Neither the gm or the unrankeds like me enjoy games like this.
I suspected player population was down, but didn’t think it was that bad.
I’ve had 3 games this week where people left and we (and the enemy team in one) didn’t get any backfills for the rest of the game with 1-2 minutes remaining.
It can happen occasionally at like 4am in the morning when nobody is queuing.
Should not be the norm.
Had something similar couple days ago. Gm1 lobby, had an diamond 3 Ana player.
Lost obviously but idc.
QP is like the Wild West. Every elo is present in some games.
I think it’s just keep q times as low as possible.
But did the team with the bronze player win?
They do this on purpose, it’s not a glitch.
QP has its own MMR, so it’s possible it can consider you for a match with those ranked players even if you do not play comp yourself.
I’m not saying this is the case, just that the MMRs are separate, or at least that’s what they tell us, because who even knows.
OP said this happened in Comp though. This proves what a lot of people have been saying. Comp matchmaking is busted and Blizz is lying to us that it isn’t. People can believe what they want, but Blizz has proven that it’s going down a crappy path and they’ve lied over and over. This game shouldn’t be taken seriously when it comes to Comp.
have any proof of this? not that i dont believe you but i would be interested in seeing a comp game that has a bronze 2 vs a grandmaster 1 player lol!?!
replay code by chance?
Yeah I know, I was just clarifying for that other commenter.
I’d love to see a replay code from OP. That’s absolutely wild and I wonder what the “logic” of that lobby placement is…
My GM3 lobby had a Gold in it at peak hours. It’s super inconsistent.
Don’t worry guys, it only happens 1% of the time! I think what they meant to say, at least 1% of the time that match shouldn’t even have ever started, now imagine that 1% is just the worst case scenario, silver and masters, or gold and diamond is significantly more likely to happen and still just as pointless a match.
There is a glitch where profiles show a persons history from console but not from pc. My guess this person played a few games on console and ranked bronze. At some point they swapped to pc and climbed the ranks. With OW2 they decided to link their old console account, it glitched, and tada it looks like they are bronze in gm when in actuality they were a gm in gm just having a bad game.
Correct.
Also correct, though I’ve seen the QP matchmaker creating lobbies like the OP described since Season 3. The team MMR’s are probably close on average, but the matches are steamrolls because the 1 or 2 better players can’t do enough before their teammates, who are worse than their counterparts, mess up and die.
Maybe still correct, but who knows at this point since only the devs can see behind the curtain. One thing I can say is that I couldn’t play competitive Mystery Heroes in Season 3 with friends because my MMR/rank was considered too high. I had, and still have, no competitive MH history, so I don’t know what rank it thought I was, but I had just hit Top 500 in CTF in Season 2. So it seems there may be some MMR data sharing with some modes.
Blizzard: “But hey, we found you that game in under 15 minutes so shut up and take it”
^This. Pick one, OP:
When your skill level is at either extreme of the SR map, you don’t have the luxury of both options, except out rare happenstance due to pure luck.
Sounds like developer cope. It’s all just random. Silvers and masters get put in the same matches in QP. There’s no way any silver player has the MMR of any master player.
For some reason it seems like people don’t understand this, lol.
Was it comp? Because if so, that’s weird.
Or was it QP, where you probably play like a bronze 2 player.
Edit:
Oh, then no, they didn’t lol
And the lie detector test determined, THAT was a lie
working as intended, bronze player didn’t spend enough money
ladies and gentlemen they said this game have 35 million players
