Losers Queue is not Real

General Discussion

Anyways, does anyone know how long it takes to get out of losers queue? How long do I have to wait for my matchmaking rigging to reset?

When 6v6 first came out, I got off Marvel Rivals for a sec and jumped into OW2, but shortly after I suffered incredible losing streaks, so I was like screw this bs and I got off. Now more than a week later, I come back and im still losing games left and right. Just now I played 27 games, and it was a total 9-18 blowout. And thats not even including the 3 auto-loss games that I also abandoned, so its actually more like 9-21! Like, wtf did I do? The mm is treating me like a damn jobber ffs. When will the losers queue Gods be satisfied? Do I need to just leave for an entire season again or what? Because im telling you, im getting sooooo sick of this awful matchmaker constantly dropping me into lobbies full of potatoes.

Btw, the only reason why I even kept playing today is because theres just 2 more days to complete that stupid Avatar challenge for the Kiriko “Im a warrior” voiceline, but I dont think imma have much time to play later. Thanks fomo.

Depends if you’re playing with a friend or stacking. If you’re solo queueing than never.

Edit:
I was trying to find the topic/reddit where it was proven that MM favors stackers and streamers. There’s a patent for it as well. I’ll keep looking

Can’t post links so add the dots and https and you’ll be good

There isn’t an intentional losers queue, but many players use stacks to manipulate the MM, which results in completely broken matches. Unfortunately, there’s no way to completely avoid being drawn into manipulated matches as a solo player, but there are a few things that you can do to reduce the risk. It’s a bit of work, but it may help you get better quality matches in comp (it does not work in QP, because the MM is much wider).

First, when you are in a broken/unbalanced match (stomps), you need to check if there are stacks in the lobby. Stacks are deliberately hidden from the players, so you need to check it manually. You can do that by inviting the players in the lobby to group with you. If they are already in a group, you’ll receive a message saying that. You should start checking for stacks with the tank and then the supports (because the tank and supports are the most valuable roles) from the team that lost.

Once you have identified a player in a stack, there are two things you need to know: 1) If there is a stack in one team, there’s very likely a stack on the other team (usually a mirror, but not always)—that’s the way the MM works. 2) If there are stacks in the lobby of a broken/unbalanced match, there’s a fair chance that the MM has been manipulated by the winning stack. Note that not all stomps with stacks in the lobby are a product of MM manipulation, but the problem is fairly common, to the point that Blizz needed to remove LFG from the game and hide stacks from the UI. The telltale sign of a manipulated match is a single player that is severely underperforming in a competitive lobby with stacks present.

Now, you need to add only one player of the losing stack to your avoid list. Only add one player, not the entire stack, because you have a limited amount of avoid slots. It is important to avoid a player from the stack that lost the match. If you avoid the stack that won (the one that is manipulating the MM), you are increasing the odds of playing against them again.

Do that in all “suspicious” comp matches to the limit of your avoid slots. With that setup, there’s still a chance of being drawn into manipulated matches, but since you’ve added many non-cheating stacks to your avoid list, the MM will more likely pick other solo players from the pool to match against cheating stacks instead of you.

Just win. Hopefully that helps you become a warrior, but a girl too.

I played over 200, with an average 50% win rate and no more than +10stomps and less than 10 full hold

Also my average game duration is over 9mins

… but I am aware of the people complaining about it

If your game ends in under 7mins, it is a stomp.
If the death ratio between both teams is equal or higher than 2, its a stomp

I actually found that stacking in 6v6 made the matchmaking go full dwerp

I’ve never had more than a streak of 6 games in a row while Solo Queueing in 6v6, but as soon as I was in 3-6 man group, the games went absolute bananas

More than 9games lost in a row; and with the worse match experience I could only find in 5v5

It was so bad that I just left the group

This are the results from my last 50 games
