Of course it does, we don’t need you to confirm anything. You’ve been white knighting this game denying what is right in front of your face because you want so badly to believe that the game is legit and that if you simply practice and keep a positive attitude that you can rank up. The game is broken and it’s a slap in the face to players like you who have put in countless hours of practice and are literally being held back by BROKEN algorithms placing you on stupid loss streaks followed by fake win streaks.
Truth is always the right answer, and the truth is the matchmaking has MAJOR flaws. Can you rank up? Sure, but doing so will be outrageously difficult, FAR more difficult than what it ever should be.

Daily reminder that banned accounts are placed on winning streak so to make sure you are going to have that sweet thrower/leaver and cost you the game.

We know that more since season 1, your have to be in that queue to improve your karma

I don’t think it’s a losers queue.
But there is something funky, even in QP. Where for instance, I had 4 of the most difficult, worst one sided matches ever. And then 4 if the easiest matches where I could have went afk and still win.

100% this but for ranked. I’ll get some of the most one sided games I’ve ever seen and just lose lose lose then all of a sudden a switch flips and the enemy is like AI and has no clue what’s going on and gets steamrolled there’s no balance at all it’s just here good luck figure it out

If you go back and watch replays alot of times that guy who went 1-15 legit looks like an AI bot.
They will be walking into walls, be set up on a straight path where they respawn and walked into the enemy team over and over without stop. Dont use cover, literally cant aim.
And this is in higher ranks aswell. We had a match with 2 AI bots in a diamond-masters lobby.

Dont usually watch replays but might have to cuz recently ive been getting a lot of reins that kinda just walk/charge into a full team and just start swinging no shield or anything and then dies respawns and does the same thing for the entire match, same with the dps like u said they spawn run and shoot into a path

Nope, doesn’t exist. The developers have said how the system works, and losers queue is not part of it.
So, it is you who is wrong.

Q: Do you deliberately place players into winner queues and loser queues?
A: There are no winner or loser queues in Overwatch.

sure. yeah they also lied about PVE.
and they had to tell the truth when the PVE Release date is near

I doubt Morgan & Gavin, who have also discussed this topic on live streams, had much to do with how pve and relevant communications were handled.
So, yes. There is no losers or winners queue.

There definitely is. Do they call it a “losers/winners queue?” …maybe not, or maybe they aren’t even aware that the game causes win/loss streaks because the code is so bloated. It doesn’t matter, it does exist and them saying it doesn’t will not change anyones mind when we watch it happen in front of our eyes over and over and at specific predictable times.
There is something in the game that causes a player to be on streaks where they have around a 20% chance of losing, or 20% chance of winning, and it happens at specific predictable times. Call it whatever you want, it does exist and it’s not debatable.

There is without a doubt a “you won several games in a row or just got promoted now try and carry this team” matchmaking problem and in my opinion the biggest issue is that it puts you with griefers/purposeful sandbagging teammates a lot of the time which makes it 1000% percent worse. I’m not sure if these griefers are mentally ill (and just like to ruin people’s days) or if they are making accounts to sell or something. I got promoted (to bronze 2–I just started playing video games again after not for many years and have been playing overwatch for a couple months).
Right after being promoted, I had a leaver when we miraculously were going to win in overtime after almost losing the point twice. Then I had a match where the tank griefed to lose on purpose (didn’t play at crucial points in match). Got demoted–then I had a game where one of the DPS disconnected. All three right in a row.

There needs to be harsher and swift punishment for obvious GREIFING (Many admit they are doing it on coms–so don’t say you can’t at least stop the ones who admit to doing it) and more preventative measures for creating multiple accounts!!
Now some people can’t help but DC and that is just unlucky/can’t be helped, but also it is a way to lose on purpose/grief while appearing to be innocent. The fact of the matter is what are the odds of this all in a row right after being promoted?
I would like to know if the developers are using recently promoted/demoted accounts for any matchmaking purpose. For example, are you more likely to be put into other people’s placement matches? Maybe they view the recently promoted/demoted accounts as more accurate to gage skill and this could explain why the type of team you can get on is so messed up. For example, I get promoted to bronze 2, someone is trolling and just got demoted down from bronze 1 then you get 2 accounts who are innocently playing somewhere in the middle of bronze 2, and finally the placement person who could be smirfing, account farming, or the innocent normal person doing placement matches.

I would also like to add that for the promotion match to bronze 2 the tank told me it was his first tank game in competitive. So the placement matches theory could also apply to when you are about to be promoted as well. (We won that game–then the next three above games happened)
