Its the only game where you spent longer waiting for games then playing it … even random “dead” games finds game quicker, in ranked i understand but in qp or arcade no Q should be longer then 2 minutes

Huh, 2 minutes game really short, don’t know how you do that, but my games are around 10ish minutes on average

It’s what happens when a very minuscule minority group terrorizes the community
At the rate they are banning players left and right, you’ll end up with an empty lobby and a lot of pissed off people.
backfill mostly there my guy
Backfills are rare these days
pass whatever you’re smoking my dude. I literally just sat in a 90 second queue and was dropped into a backfill. I haven’t left a game in longer than I can remember, so its not my fault.
And are you serious? 10 minute games. My games are all 1 sided stomps that last mayyyybe 4-5 minutes for a push game. Either roll or be rolled. The only 10 minute games are on Oasis and similar maps, where there is a lot of downtime between rounds. Busan, LiJang tower, etc.

When it gets late, queues can get up to 3 minutes.
But that’s only when it’s late. And that’s +1 minute.
Christ almighty, the q times in OW1 days were WAY longer. You could wait 10 minutes or more while you were gold. These days, in less than a minute you get a match, and holy balls are the matches absolute trash these days. Blizzard has opted for quantity over quality and the game suffers from it.

So you tell me you get frequently put into backfill game?
This happens very rarely for me
If they are one sided stomps, then I would ask who the common denominator is
Sometimes the queues for me are so short that I don’t trust that any matchmaking went on whatsoever.
But I play fill, so hey.
Yes, I am put into games as a backfill regularly, and i VERY frequently have a match with 1-2 leavers that end up getting backfilled after they go AFK or never select a hero.
So I’d say a large percentage of my games involves (and is negatively affected by) a backfill of some sort.
Also… weak attempt with the gaslighting to imply that it’s my fault. Any bozo with half a brain can see that the matches are lopsided and idiotic to begin with. The ‘common denominator’ as you want to call it, is the bottomless pit of trash DPS players that the game wants to stick on my team. I went 40-3 last game on Doomfist, and now I have a 1-7 Genji and a 0-9 bastion. Really? This is the team I belong on? right. It’s my fault for my bastion holding W and just falling over on repeat.
And then there’s those matches where I don’t have to do anything and we just walk it up ez. Not fun at all.
I would assume Q times is probably a big issue for people in higher ranks, since there is less people there. But OW2 has already reduced que times by increasing the range of skill in the match, and I’d say I rather take longer que times with good matches than the circus we have now lol

Yeah, I get tired of constantly waiting in queue. The only time it’s under a minute is if I queue for tank. 2-3 minutes if I queue dps, and about 5 minutes queueing for support.
…in quickplay.
Agreed as a solo que enjoyer I would rather wait 5-10 mins for a quality game with other solo que players then be tossed into a lobby with stacks so my mmr can offset the balance. I’m sick of effectively being used as a baby sitter for the matchmaker to make “Fair lobbies”. I’ve been playing this mini game with the matchmaker lately. It goes something like this, as soon as the matchmaker puts me against a stack log off and go to the next account. Five accounts, and for the last 4 days guess what. I have not played a single full game of overwatch. So basically I guess I’m done playing until they make a solo que.

No, is matching quality; which is garbage because of the attempt of keeping queue times low
I view it like the queues are 5-10 minutes long, since thats usually the length of a typical stomp. I basically just have to play 1-2 really fast stompy games in between good games. They can’t MAKE me babysit; when the kids are real bad, I just let them die, GG next.
When the matchmaker says its my turn to get stomped, I just let it happen.
The running tin foil hat theory for EoMM is that if you let /allow the matchmaker to put you in these lobbies and reward it by continuing to play than it will continue doing this to you. I’m deff in agreement with you on letting them die, you can usually tell in the first fight how the whole match will go and if you sense something off just enjoy the show. I’m just over getting monkeyed with by the matchmaker, it gets worse and worse every year. Yet people still try to defend it.

Very unlucky for you. Maybe an US issue?
Most of my matches aren’t lopsided, they are actually quite even.
Wonder which MMR you sit or what the matchmaker is doing with you
I’m not ranked, but when I last played comp in season 8 I was high/mid plat on DPS and support. I’m probably plat or diamond on tank but havent done placements.
Yes, but you still have an MMR in quick and lately it got a bit wonky
Tankrole always felt very lopsided, didn’t touch tank this season, so can’t say much.
DPS and Support feels okish, last season was better
