This is probably gonna come off as an angry post but I’m genuinely asking why the matchmaking system in the arcade is so awful. I mainly play against AI because I slowly got tired of other game modes (Comp is toxic, QP is just a practice range for snipers and Genji) but I sometimes feel like I should get my weekly loot boxes from playing in the arcade but it’s the most frustrating experience ever.
Why do I get matched up against diamond and master players all the time (and I actually mean every game) when I’m a gold player? I understand that SR isn’t taken into account but I am so tired of the fact that whether you win or lose completely depends on which team has a master player. Every time I play in the arcade I’m like I should’ve known better because this is definitely not worth the free loot boxes.
I overall feel like that the game just doesn’t care about casual players or people that aren’t diamond or above since they’re usually not the ones with a famous youtube or twitch account to have a large impact on the community but that’s a whole other topic. I really wish this game was a bit friendlier (I think it used to be) but I’m running out of game modes that are worth spending my freetime on.
