What is this matchmaking in quickplay? Is there any?
I just wanted a couple chill games learning a new hero and I’m matched into widow who just melts everyone. I take a look and hes the ex top #1? I check the other roles and sure enough its silvers vs masters.
After keeping an eye on it for the rest of the night almost every game has a GM+ matching up against a gold role for role.
After 4 games in a row of top500 dps ive just given up. Chill heal games cant exist.
It shouldnt be the case that I have to use ranked, as the relaxed “I dont care the result” mode…
My question, if I cant chill in quickplay, where am I meant to go? Other than a different game again.

No matchmaking that I can see.
Better off playing mystery heroes to chill out.

Why should the answer be to avoid playing the game we fell in love with, and cower in an arcade mode with no resemblance to the standard mode?
I feel like I’m being punished for wanting to come back and play overwatch

Because everyone has been angry with it since release. It has only gotten worse. You have to assume it’s never going to be addressed. Really only leaves you with two choices.
- Deal with weirdo QP matchmaking.
- Play another mode.

Quick isn’t a synonym to chill in the dictionary, so why would it be in Overwatch? This conclusion by others has never made sense to me. People are still supposed to “try” in Quick Play, it’s just that the matches are shorter.

This sounds like a case of “I want it my way”.
You might want a “couple chill games”, but that doesn’t mean everyone who plays feels the same way.
I play plenty of chill games in mystery heroes and Arcade.
But I think your main issue is that you expect the game to go a certain way. Expecting that won’t lead to anything good.

“Skill issue”.
If T500 is like 0.3% of the playerbase (less than that probably?), how are you folks getting them in every game?
I will admit, my QP queues are 1min while my ranked queues are over 20 mins so we are being quickly placed in games. I just can’t tell the ranks because everyone is private.

Then just play Junkrat and practise going for artillery style long shots on said widow from cover/spawn and chuck a few at the Tank for some damage dealt.
in the queue
it always seems to join game as soon as i load youtube though
Because people complained needlessly about things that they don’t entirely understand. People don’t think about the ripple effects of changes made to the game, they just want that tiny bit of respite of whatever minute nuisance is bothering them.
Unfortunately… devs listened

Chill doesn’t exist because they do not want casuals in the game. Period.
1 ) Cant play competitive gameplay. “its throwing”.
2 ) Cant play Quickplay “its throwing”. and the epic failure for the match making system to sift out competitive players from the casuals is the ultimate failure to this game company, and why microsoft has acquired this game company. Got real news folks, the game isn’t doing well if it has to be sold to someone else. 
3 ) Cant play Arcade because the hardcores are farming it for stuff.
4 ) Not ideal to play custom matches. There are the strange sort that Roleplay in lots of Custom matches… its just not for me.

In my experience the past couple months, this is exactly the case. QP is 1:1 equally as sweaty and toxic as Comp is, just with worse matchmaking, more leavers and more throwers. Comp is the superior game mode. You don’t need to care about your rank, just play to play.

playing vs ai is what i would consider quite casually, relaxing and comparable with a coop game i would play when i relax and chill. anything else is quite the effort to play casually unless we talk about hard smurfing 2 ranks lower.

They buffed sombra to ruin qp what do you think you can relax when invisible stalker pervert hero is on the lose.

your first mistake was playing one of the main 2 modes of a competitive game to “relax”. QP is just comp-lite
if you want to relax you need to play arcade modes those are the ultra casual modes
while i dont expect people to tryhard in qp they still do it because at the end of the day the vast majority of people overwatch attracts are competitive in nature

Only thing that is crappy about comp for me is the long game time.
Honestly don’t want to play 3 to four rounds against the same enemys, especially if it’s a unfun gamemode or toxic players/teammates.
Also Overtime has ruined alot of matches for me. It should have been adjusted for 5vs5 and should never have been indefinitely. So many games where the loosing side suspiciously hits all theire shots. Have lost many games to many cheaters like this.
