I quit. Game still sucks. Same old BS forcing me to carry with a tank to climb the ladder. Was a gold/plat player in Overwatch 1. Placed in Silver 3 in Overwatch 2. Placement games were actually not bad. Random as hell, but fine. I played well enough.
AFTER PLACEMENT: 1 win 10 losses. Same hidden MMR BS forcing me to carry the worst DPS that they can find. Matching me with complete feeders. Literally just running into the enemy and dying. I have the most damage most games. The other team, on the other hand, moves like a CPU controlled team completely obliterating everything in its path.
Other games, the enemy team is just as dumb as my team. Lucios and Soldiers just running straight at me to feed. My team running straight forward and feeding. I’m a Reinhardt player doing my best. Just not good enough for what the matchmaker demands of me. It treats me like I’m a GM player able to carry the worst DPS at my rank. I can’t do it. Goodbye game. I didn’t think they could make a worse game than Overwatch 1, but they managed to do it. I’m impressed.

Fyi, you’re “carrying” as tank b/c their dmg atm is completely out of control. But yes, the ranking system is really bad and w/e they changed in their update just made it worse
The game “wants” me to carry, but I just can’t. There’s always one DPS that sneaks behind and kills me and they take the objective. I feel like the matchmaker thinks I’m WAY better than I am to match me with who I’m playing with. It’s too bad. I wanted to like this new version, considering all of the problems with the first, but I just can’t play it anymore.
In Heroes of the storm, Bliz would do matchmaking like this: 4 bronze, 1 master, versus 3 silver, 2 gold. As long as the total MMR of all players is close, Blizzard believes this is an even match. The problem is that in HotS, 1 master cannot carry 4 low skill players against 5 average to above average players, usually.
Also, it’s a bad experience for everyone. The master player doesn’t understand why everyone around him is so bad, the low skill doesn’t understand why no one is at their skill level and they die constantly, and the average players are wondering why their is a god among men on the other side, yet they smoke the rest of the team.
