This has to be like 50th absolute stomp match JUST TODAY where we couldn’t even leave the damn spawn and were just literally murdered like we’re the dumbest bots. In what parallel universe does it make sense to bunch what looked like bunch of pros against bunch of us casual clumsy plebs? And it seems like matchmaking literally on purpose screws some players over and over and over again with this BS. I can’t possibly be the only one. Because if it is, I’m buying a lottery ticket this moment. I just can’t fathom what is this suppose to help us be more attractive to players? Or spend more in a shop for a game that actively hate us and then farts in our face and laughs at us afterwards? i don’t get it.
When I started playing it was normal, sort of tug of war back and forth fights that felt like we’re about equal in fighting. Now it’s just either one extreme or the other. If I still had 5 such games among these 50, I’d say I’m being generous. What the hell is going on? If I’m so terrible at it, stop matching me with the pros. How hard can it be?! Very apparently.
Duh, they obviously had more skins than you did. It’s important to expose you to as many purchaseable items as possible so you’ll associate skill with spending money.
Most reasons. That’s a group. The MM put one or two people who are high rank. Because they couldn’t make a proper game at speed. Or, if you’re support. You will be forced into higher level games. Due to people not wanting to play support.
How is losing 50 times and winning 5 times a 50:50 ? You have some weird math going on there… I’d even believe it if I lost 2 games and won 1 and then lost 1 and won 1 again and then maybe won 5 in a row and then lost 3 in a row. Losing so many games in a row with hardly any win is not even remotely close to 50:50.
Matchmaking system has been a joke since the game was in beta back in 2016. They excused it then by the sample size being too small. When the game was released and it still was a dumpster of a system, they went the tried and tested Blizzard method and refused to talk about it.
And here we are in late 2022 and surprise surprise, it’s still a dumpster. But hey, at least the in-game shop is working perfectly.
I’ve decided to stop playing it entirely and focus instead on other single player games. Grinding for pathetic amount of weekly coins just isn’t worth my nerves and sanity.
OW2 was fun for a while as MM worked fine and I actually had fun in what felt like equal teams fighting for win, but then like it was a flip of a switch, it suddenly changed to this garbage nonsense that just makes you want to go into rage mode because it’s so stupid. This isn’t “mild imperfection”, it’s just. I don’t think I’ve ever played ANY game ever that would just curb stomp me repeatedly so hard and I’ve been playing online games since UT99/Q3A days. Sure it happens SOMETIMES in all games, but not just endless stomps of one team. Never.
When you get destroyed in the spawn it doesn’t necessarily mean you’ve been matched with bad players.
It means that there was no communication and no team work, this applies to everyone in your team (including you).
Open voice chat and define a strategy to disrupt the enemy defense. Maybe a Winston jumping and placing a shield on the enemy, a Sym TP for the team, a Junkrat spamming or anything that can definitely make them lose their focus on the spawn for some seconds at least.
Yeah this is why I didn’t bother installing Overwatch 2 to begin with. I knew that they hadn’t done jack about the MM system so it was going to be the same garbage as in OW1. And since an online game is entirely build around the enjoyment you get from matches, it’s a no go for me.
A match system is never perfect, and you’ll get the odd stomp feast here and there. But for Overwatch it seems to be consistent that way. Either you stomp, or get stomped on. Neither of which are any fun. The rare cases are the even matches, so the system seems to be flipped entirely in its logic.
It is. I instantly know when game is over when you can’t push anywhere for 2 minutes no matter what you try. Usually in the beginning when you manage to kill few of enemy players and you eventually start moving just because your spawn is closer to the objective in beginning. If that doesn’t happen it’s a stompfest.
it is exaggerated in this update that is overwatch. also i think there a TON of newbies getting mixed with veterans so yea lol that magnifies everything also.
