It isnt about winning or losing i miss genuine competitive and normal matches . Matchmaking is bad , players with experienced group friends always steamroll and game isnt helping new players at all .
In overwatch 1 we had levels so we could seperate new players from experienced ones . Why levels even removed ? It would help matchmaking to not put low level players in high level matches to avoid steam rolling .
Also players with groups should be against other group players like in MOBAS so it would be more fair for players without groups .

I’m not experiencing that many steamrolls
Maybe they have some hidden engagement code that is just bugging tf out.
They thought they’d be clever and slip it by us, but it’s just so egregious. Teams that miss every shot then suddenly play like aimbots with sus crosshairs and insane ult econ. Stomps that take you to their spawnroom back to yours.
And meanwhile your mouse sens and i/o processes take a push notice “applying patch” everytime before this real-time rigging kicks in.
Maybe it’s updating the in-game paramaters to force close fights and it’s backfiring ?

I’m curious to know peoples definition of steamroll. I have a suspicion that many of them believe any match that isn’t neck and neck until the final second is a steamroll. That’s not what a steamroll is.

Levels never meant anything other than that person logged many hours. There were bronze players with platinum borders.
Hey OP, ive found a good solution to this issue! In short, high deaths reduce MMR. In long, the game has a very strict 50% win rate it tries to achieve for all players. If you try to break the algorithm, which is strongly influenced by death count, you will lose some games Blizz wants you to “win” (note youll notice just how rigged it all is when you find it difficult to lose these games even on purpose). After 15-20 games, Blizz’s algorithm will lose faith that you can “carry games” and you will start to notice that games become closer when you are given better teammates in games you are supposed to lose. Hope this helps!

Stop giving up when you lose the first team fight.
If you lose the first teamfight hard, make some counter picks.

Matchmaking is done by MMR, not level. Blizzard acknowledged that it’s a little too lose right now and they’re working on tightening it up.
But I don’t know, I’m not personally seeing too much egregious match-making.
It’s tough to force groups to only fight other groups because that’s not a ubiquitous thing in this game, it would probably take forever to find match-ups.

They give up after the first fight, then type GG and blame someone for a diff in chat. Then they go AFK until the match ends only to immediately queue right back up in a defeatist state of mind to do it all over again.
Then they come on here telling everyone how bad their teammates are and lie about how good their stats were compared to their teammates.

I went 30-3 while my teammates only had 2 kills and I promise I’m a GM player who had 4 gold teammates.
I also had a leaver 100 out of 100 games I played.
I bought a skin and BOOM 30 game win streak

What is with all leaving game after first team fight prejudice . Im usually holding on games until its finished (i like endorsement levels ) and only leaving qp’s when all players leaving and game leaving you on searching players for 1m . It is just that i am getting so many matches that my team steamrolling or getting steamrolled there is like no middle of it and i realized that when you play in groups you are in big advantage for better communication and your trust in teammate .
tl dr : game should help new players more trying to not put them against very experienced players i think level system like in mobas would help that and players with groups should be put against other players with groups more for fairness . I dont enjoy steamrolling as just as getting steamrolled .

It’s a roll, or get rolled world out there. 
I read the bug report forums and some of us are getting randomized nameplates when we join a lobby!
How fake is that!? Trying to cover up a dead game with rigging and everything hidden.

I’ve had more leaver and throwers than steamrolls tbh.
It’s almost like everyone that was playing QP decided to play comp instead for better quality matches than simply took all the terribleness they were dealing with in QP and brought it into comp.
is the dead game in the room with you?
Seems pretty balanced to me, but I am also in the top ladder so it makes sense why it migh not be true in the metals.
idk, because my bro and i had our nameplates changed
