Can you explain why this proves the game is rigged?

I wonder if they secretly know exactly who is bad and/or toxic. Then why not seperate them instead of using them as a weapon to ruin matches?

Iāve quit as wellā¦for about 2 months nowā¦had quit for about a year before the current season. I was wondering if MM might have gotten better, because that was my main complaint. But of course, itās only worse. The devs are just psychopaths running the asylum.

There probably is some insidious psychology at work here, having to do specifically with players acquiring new accounts and buying cosmetics for those new accounts. The OG Overwatch accounts already have all of the cosmetics that now cost thousands of dollars to obtain on a new account.
The developers are just normal Joes working for a paycheck. The psychopaths are the producers, of whom are beholden to the board members, of whom are beholden to the shareholders.
Definitely still entertaining, but in more of a āhow can it actually be this badā sort of way, lol. I donāt even try to carry the potatoes anymore; Iāll fire up a Youtube video on my phone while the pendulum runs itās course. I donāt need to watch the trolls ruin matches.
Iāve seen that movie enough times to know how it ends; Iāll have a small fraction of the next lowest teammateās deaths, and the opponents will have 4 times the amount of available ultimate abilities as a result.

HEREās a NEW FLASH:
RANK does NOT = SKILL
Well Joe #1-35 or whatever better make my dang game feel good when everything Blizz does tends to make the game less enjoyable for someone. They take one step forward and 5 steps back when it comes to the player experience honestlyā¦
It can still be flawed and unfair in how it reaches that goal though.
Letās say I put a plat MMR player against 5 masters/GMs one game with bronzes and silvers for teammates, and then I put the masters/GMs on his team the next game with golds and silvers on the enemy team. Thatās 50/50 right there, but is it any kind of fair? Nope.
I think the benefit is in the fact that when a player goes on a losing streak, they feel they need to grind games to try and make up for the losses. I definitely fall into this trap. And for the most part, itās miserable.
The funny thing is that I would play the game regardless of win loss streaks, but it would be much more enjoyable if I didnāt have to face horrible forced losing streaks.
Honestly, itās surprising that thereās still people disputing the forced 50% win/loss factor. Understand that the game is different if youāre queuing with friends who are competent (as opposed to playing solo), or if playing on Smurf accounts without all the bad stats racked up while learning the game. Personally, I have worked my way into top 500 a few times, but it is ALWAYS followed by the most ridiculously rigged games imaginable (most frequently highlighted by the Genji one trick that racks up 20 deaths while on a mission to be the first person dead every single fight and single handedly forces a loss. Then I avoid him and he is magically replaced by a similarly flawed idiot the next game, and the next, and the nextā¦).
Yeah, my frustration level is finally maxed out. Lots of promising shooters on the horizon that I am ready to devote my time to. It was fun while it lasted Overwatch, but your lack of respect for my time is finally at a tipping point.

As an OG gamer whose probably been gaming longer than anyone here (I grew up playing Atari, and if you donāt know what an Atari is, I win), and I remember a time when this was not the case, and I can tell you that multiplayer was MUCH more enjoyable back then.

Also, they used to have the 5 wins thing (or whatever it was) before ranking up as a way to keep players engaged.
Iām not saying they did this, but it would be easy to make sure you lost a game or 2 when you had 4 wins, just to keep players playing to get that last final win to rank up. I definitely would play just ONE more game if I lost, so I could see my rank change. And then maybe just ONE more again if I lost. and maybe ONE more, until I finally win, then see my rank change and log off.

do you mind giving codes for a couple of the unwinnable ones? i like watching other gameplay and Iām assuming youāre higher rank than me.
but I feel this even in quick play. i had a day where I won like 11 games in a row and I havenāt been able to get that back since.

yeah, and not only that, but if youāre a junkie like me, once I finally win one, I feel like I better see how many I can win in a row to make up for the losses before I turn my Xbox off, lol. The struggle grind is real!
