So I went and paid for two battle passes. I won’t even do that anymore, much less buy cosmetics. I love the game, it’s great and all, but the matchmaking is disgusting. If they actually fixed it, I might actually spend again…we’ll see what happens with the upcoming changes, but I’m not really confident.

Matchmaking is bad due to low player numbers, uneven player distribution across roles and a queue time limit where after it’s past the game just throws anyone it can find together.
While that system is in place we will continue to get terrible match quality, players will continue to reduce their play time or leave the game entirely. It will become harder for the system to create an even match in a reasonable amount of time, so more players will leave etc. We’ve all seen this over the last year as the matches have become worse with every new season. Eventually the game will just become unplayable for all. It already has for most, myself included.

Player numbers are as high, if not higher, than they’ve been in years. That isn’t the issue. In fact, player numbers are up this season compared to the last 2/3.
A lot of match quality issues come from player mistakes and heroes/roles being in the balance state they are. So if your tank is having an off game, you’re almost certainly done.
Supports distracted and making mistakes… Good luck.
you are so funny, this is a joke!
the player base is dropping like crazy. that’s a fact that’s why the match quality is so bad
“A lot of match quality issues come from player mistakes and heroes/roles being in the balance state they are.”
0 -12 DPS
0-12 Tank
is a player mistake/hero-balanced issue??
you must be dreaming
how about fixing the ranking system by introducing a personal performance-based ranking system… instead of making it a Win/Loss based system…
what can I do when my tank /DPS is 0-12
the matchmaker is so bad that in 9/10 matches you get such players in your team…

It dropped 1-2% per month for a about 3 months, then went back up this month. So no, it isn’t “a fact”.
You blame systems… The provide hyperbolic stats that just say a player played badly, or deliberately threw… If you want to blame the match maker for that, go ahead. You’ll be screaming at a wall.
Question. If I queue in to a game and decide I’m going to hard throw… Is that my fault or the match makers?
If I queue into a lobby and just feed because my head’s not in the right place… Is that my fault or the match makers?
roku u back?.
please use ur main. stop gaslighting players

Deflection. Answer the questions.

Because if that’s the match maker, then I have no free will… Which would be worrying.
The current rank system as well as the one we had before it does take into account performance. Also demanding that they change it from a Winrate system is ridiculous and illogical. You win games = you rank up. If you have a net negative winrate (i.e you lose more than 50% of the games you play) then there is something wrong there.
Yes it takes forever, but ranking up is a challenge and it shouldn’t be easy. It takes time but if you have a positive win rate then you will eventually rank up. You are the only consistent in your games, and you are only in control of things that /you/ can do to win.
Yes sometimes you will have teammates who underperform, however sometimes you’ll be the one who is underperforming. Sometimes you will carry and sometimes you will be carried. That’s life.
If you’re going negative on almost every card then maybe you’re doing something wrong. Focus on your own gameplay and trying to eliminate your own mistakes and you will rank up.

You’ll probably get hilarious levels of push back and hate for saying this. Despite you being 100% spot on with this statement.

yes that’s what an idiot would say on TEAM based game. Seriously.
Ranking should based on your performance not loss/win bs that is not working.

Are you okay? Why are you insulting someone over gameplay discourse? yes it’s a team based game, so why should you rank up on the account of your /whole/ team losing? like I said sometimes you will have to carry and be carried. Now does that mean that you shouldn’t gain SR because you played like dog? Or does that simply apply to everyone else because surely they’re not as good as you? That’s not how it works and its logical. If you win more games than you lose you gain mmr/SR. It’s simple maths. As soon as I started eliminating mistakes I was making I started ranking up. Make of that what you will.
i am not talking about bronze ranks. I am top 500, but i can not rank up because always it FORCED loss , because i am grouped with people who do not know how to play or against aimbots.
