I keep ending up in losers’ queue. I started season 9 with a record of something like 4-39. From there it would sometimes let me win slightly more games than I lost, but more often, I lost almost all my games. I stopped counting, but I probably did 50-150 for the season. Three times as many losses as wins. Season ten is running about the same. At the moment I can’t win a game. Zero games won this week.
So, I took a look at my stats, and…
On the three heroes I play almost exclusively I am 50%, 51%, 57%. I’m up 300-ish games in QP on my most-played heroes.
Is it forcing me to 50%? All at once? Do I have to even the score by 300 losses before it gives me fair matches?
What’s odd is that beyond my most-played heroes, I’m up even more. It says I’ve played Soldier for 2 hours and have won 66%.
Seems fishy. I’m horrible at DPS.
Maybe these numbers are just wrong? Is it matching me based on corrupt data?
Forced 50/50 is real, but the matchmaker is not forcing the wins and losses. It is forcing the teammates and enemies. If people get high winrates, then on average they get harder enemies and weaker teammates. The opposite is also true. This means that doing well places you into games that are more challenging, and the opposite is true as well.
Same outcome, different gymnastics. We need to be able to run dedicated server distributions to tailor the matchmaker in novel ways instead of relying on corporations to dictate the constraints. Let the community determine what is fun, not Blizzard, @Blizzard.
It is because that the matchmaking is bad and in the state that will never converge. It will give you easy wins for 1 week so it overestimates your rank then it will start to put you in the losers’ queue to force you 1 week of losts. Then it underestimates you so it put you back to the winner queue again, and repeat. This system never converge but it will give you 50/50 win rate with most of the games are trivial and so one-sided.
just try not to take it to seriously. im having the worst competitive season ever but today i had a 8 comp game winstreak then like i lost one game then won 3 after. kinda brang my 33 percent winrate up to 40 percent lol
game is wack anyways but i just have fun playing who i like
I mean Comp literally has terms such as “expected victory/defeat”. Id want to see a statistic where they show how much these appear. That would help on the math.
This is just disingenous, the game is way more complicated than just “play better”. We all have those games where you play out of your mind but you get Lucio/Mercy and the Mercy is boosted playing without their dps duo, or you get the ocassional throwing tank etc.
I got a QP 8-9 losing streak the other day, I was on dps with my dps duo and we were playing quite decently, trying to counter, playing objectives, etc. still we got throwers, new players, leavers that somehow the matchmaker deems as potential teammates.
matchmaker is well known busted its even worse this season as you could be on a team that is throwing or opponents are way better like unranked is suppose to be same skill level when its not
Well whatever curse you’ve got don’t give it to me. I’m on a 20 win streak with LW and a 17 win streak with Orisa. I have forgotten what it feels like to lose.
This is not too simple against smurfs and elo boosters(Unknown brand new accounts and private profiles with endorsement lv1 without mmr) in every second match.
