I just played a QP match, where I am clearly in the loser queue today.
Our tank, 10 hours, there 's TOP 265.
This person is BRAND NEW. They played tank for three hours, and Blizzard put them in a game with a top 265 tank. This is by far the most extreme I have ever seen. But this scenario plays out time and time again and after 1500 hours, my time with Overwatch is coming to an end as the game is no longer fun because of awful match quality.
(have screenshots, but apparently cannot post them, figures)

EOMM. Learn about it. The MM is not building us “good games”, its trying to manipulate us.

I would just like an explanation why almost every game playing tank there’s one DPS who is doing something and another one, permalocked, with a negative K:D ratio. Every. Single. Game. I have replay codes upon replay codes with the same thing every. time.

Destiny arrives just the same
The patents were made to sell guns in a game like COD were they actively sell such in stores. OW doesn’t have monetization system like that, so like no. Thats not what OW MM is doing.

Lack of introspection is killing these threads.
I noticed recently some of my competitive games will be heavily skewed against me. I could be in Gold 2, and my team’s average skill rating is barely Gold 5/4 and the other team’s average rating is Gold 1. This means there is a very good chance that I have Silver players on my team and it is guaranteed that the other team has at least one or two Platinum players in a Gold average match. That should never be possible in the metal ranks. That is the same thing as putting a Bronze team against a Gold team, but their team averages are somewhere in Silver. For anyone trying to rank up this is essentially a guaranteed loss, and sometimes it will happen to me multiple times in the same day.

It really is. The average game is just a slog where you’re honestly just relieved it’s over, no matter the result. The only way to have any fun is to abuse what’s good.

Its pathetic really, and honestly I’ve noticed it’s only getting more and more aggressive with the matchmaking

Oof And I bet money (if I had any) it’s the negative k:d player who is first to say tank diff when you lose
It’s mandatory for the incompetent to humiliate themselves.
Lack of looking at objective facts is killing these responses.

You are playing team game without a team. 
Focus on something other than winning. Maybe scoring cool multikills or something.
Yeah and golds have been seen in Master matches at X hours and some regions. MM is not perfect and exceptions like these will be seen from time to time.
If its QP, the MM is looser and it does average per team so yeah, not that weird.

its absolutely in the toilet. Im trying to finish the stupid battlepass I got with leftover credits but I can barely stomach to play the game.
Three matches, all stomps. Win or lose it just feels awful.
They really don’t care, instead of fixing the food they ban people from leaving the restaurant. Eat your slop overwatch 1 customer, IT’S FREE. YOU GOT IT FOR FREE. EAT IT.

Surprisingly no, they never say anything during the game, but don’t you worry, they are the first ones to click to leave the minute they see the defeat screen because they don’t want to be told the reality by both teams. Usually it’s the supports who say “imagine a world with 2 dps?” or something of the like.
I don’t even bother turning on comms because the people sandbagging can’t be told they are sandbagging and take any form of responsibility, they just click “report” like children. When I’m playing Hog and missing a ton of hooks I have the self awareness to swap. Same way if I see we have Genji/Pharah I don’t run a shield tank.
I honestly think free to play took this game’s match maker straight off the cliff more than 5 v 5 did. If we kept the original player base who paid $20-40 dollars for this game, but took it 5 v 5, we’d be having an entirely different conversation right now.
Literally first match of the day after I typed this out. Look at the Tracer on our team.

The patents discuss cosmetic items, which could be easily applied to OW2.
“Wow I got styled on by a super cool looking Doomfist, I want some skins too”
It’s not impossible and even fairly common to be placed against high ranks on a new account if you play well or belong there in the first place.
Last time I created a new account like a year ago I was playing with T500 players after only a handful of games because the MMR picked up fast that I was already GM.
That being said I can agree with loser queue and the sad part is that it’s super obvious, just a few days ago I climbed 300SR in open queue and then suddenly 80% of my games are losses until I almost lost everything I had just climbed.
