Spilo just came out with a great video explaining why games are stomp even though OW2 is probably using the same matchmaking system as OG OW.
It pretty much explains that one persons bad day/game can more drastically effect a match more so than in 6v6. Just like why there is an even more drastic difference say in death match between the top and last place of the any given match.
So the question is this. Is it the 5v5 change that has caused this or a poorly designed matchmaking system? (or a bit of both)

effectively YES, it is more noticeable the smaller the group. I dont remember what law of theory it applies to anymore ( i use to remember). but it has to do with something we discussed years ago in college about collectiveism and that the larger the collective the more mistakes that can be made, without it impacting something as much.
As much as people rejoice 5s for being more “fun” . it is a faster pace, because once ONE person is effectively focused and eliminated it breaks the rest of the team down very fast.
I personally believe that the pinging system should NOT be present in anything except competitive play. Because in Quickplay, once a team begins focusing someone. people feel they are being bullied, they quit and they leave. How the teams apply this “focus” and breaking apart teams effectively is the information presented during a team fight. Hence why we have 2 problems here.
- Too small of teams.
- The introduction of “laser pointers” ie - the PING.
It’s both tbh
I think Blizzard created 5v5 as a solution to a problem they didn’t wanna fix themselves because if 5v5 was the future they planned then heroes would’ve been adjusted and maps wouldn’t have huge long sightlines
Bronze 1 players playing in Diamond games, for example. That’s the problem with OW2. It’s not 5v5 or whatever they want to use to gaslight you.
That’s why the profiles are private. They don’t want anyone to expose this.
Of feel profiles being private is a bigger problem now than ever because people show titles that dont match their skill in rank role queue on specific role. People are complaining about people that are actually the same ranks as them but believe otherwise.
its not 5v5 or 6v6 issue - its actimeme bli$$ard’s pathetic lazy clowfest meme choices to focus on milking their fanbase and re-introducing illusion “BaLaNcInG” by nerfind and buffing what nobody asked for to then revert that back nearly to original state so it looks like they’re doing something all whilst releasing pokemon/digimon themed skins for $20 and full pathetic and half bothered pseudo “eVeNt MoDeS”
literally i dont know any other game that has such pathetic matchmaking or ever had in its early stage of “early access” for a year or whatever long this meme iteration of the game exists for
